INCREASED RATES ON SALT
AND MACHINERY ALLOWED
Freight Additions on Junk Grain
and Flour Not Tet Beady
for Announcement.
(Houston Post Sttcittl.i
AUSTIN Texaa January 18. Changes
in the tariffs on cotton gin machinery
irrigation machinery and salt were for-
mally agreed upon by the railroad com-
mission today and advances In all of
them were allowed. The commission is
now considering the general tariff of class
rates.
Changes in the tariff to apply to junk
grain and flour have been tentatively
agreed upon but they will not be made
public until final action has been taken.
The tariffs on salt cotton gin machinery
and Irrigation machinery are to be issued
at once but not until the figures are put
together by the rate experts will they be
available. i
It probably will be several days before
any definite announcement relative to the
class tariff will be made. The commis-
sion has taken up the class rates as they
constitute a large per cent of the freight
charges in Texas and consideration of
them in response to the carriers' petition
for advance rates would generally tend
to show that the rate making body will
canvass the whole field and probably
make advances In many directions.
The commission is working out the
problem according to Its own Ideas and
it is -probable that the advances and
method of increasing rates will not be as
desired by the railroads.

HENRY. REPLIED TO
EX GOV. COLQUITT
Declared Ei-Governor Admitted
Charges Which Condemn Him.
Attempted to "Throw Dust" in the
People's Eyes About Mexico and
"Cotton Up to Standpat
Republicans."
(Houston Post Staff Correspondence.)
WASHINGTON .January 18. Former
Governor Colquitt's reply to Representa-
tive Henry's remarks on the floor of the
house last week reached Washington to-
day and called forth a rejoiner from the
Waco congressman. Mr. Henry said:
"I have just carefully read farmer Gov-
ernor Colquitt's reply. He promptly re-
sorted to what Is technically known as
a plea of 'confession and avoidance.'
"He thus admits the charges that real-
ly condemn him and tries to Justify tils
course as governor against Mexico.
"Instead of endeavoring to pick a quar-
rel with the administration the country
will think he should have co-operated
with Wilson as Ferguson is now doing.
The president was patriotic and was and
is trying to keep out of war and deserves
the former governor's support.
"It Is evident that Mr. Colquitt in his
Interview having made a wholesale in-
dictment against the acts of the demo-
cratic party in power at Washington is
now trying to 'throw dust' In the peo-
ple's eyes about Mexico while he 'cottons
up' to the standpat republicans. This Is
his usual ruse but the intent is trans-
parent. .
"It is Interesting to not! that be com-
pletely dodges the Issues and runs away
from the inexcusable charges against the
democratic party put In the mouths of
standpat republicans by his deplorable
holiday Houston interview."
AGRICULTURAL
BULLETIN OUT.
The department of agriculture's annual
estimate of farm cattle in the country
January 1 Issued today shows 21988000
milk cows an Increase of 3.4 per cent
over 1915; 39.453000 other cattle an in-
crease of 6.4 per cent; 491620(10 sheep a
decrease of 1.6 per cent and 68947000
swine an increase of 53 per cent.
Horses numbered 21166.000 a decrease
of one-tenth of 1 per cent and mules
numbered 4565000 an increase of 1.9 per
cent. The total value of these farm ani-
mals was placed at 16002784000 an in-
crease of $33531000 or six-tenths of 1
per cent over their value on January 1
1915.
The decrease In the number of horses
was 29000 and is partly due to the de-
mand for mounts for the European
armies.

LOVETT REPORTS
BETTER BUSINESS
Official Union Pacific Says Con-
ditions Are Improving.
Railroads in Time Should Be on
Better Basis He Say? Former
Houstonian With Party on
Way to Coast.
"There has been a general Improve-
ment In railroad business (luring the last
few months" said Judge K. S. Lovo.tt
chairman of the executive board of the
Union Pacific railway upon his arrival
In Houston from New York Tuesday.
"I don't know how long this will las'.
but we all hope for a long time. The
railroads have been having a very diffi-
cult time and consequent their credit
lias been poor. Other business has also
been considerably revived and in tim;
the railroads should be on a more paying
basis."
Asked about his opinion as to the prob-
able outcome of the hhreveport rate i ase
he expressed a view apparently adverse
to the Texas interests. "I think the de-
cision of the supreme court could not
have been otherwise" he said. "It was
just a starter and It so happened that the
action was started against Texas.
"The constitution permits Texas and
all other States to regulate Internal af-
fairs by the sovereignty of the Stales
but no State has the authority to regu-
late the affairs of another .Slate."
Judge Lovett was accompanied by Mrs.
Lovett and Mr. and.. Mrs. J. C. Stulibs.
They are en route to California on a
pleasure trip.
Mr. Stubbs declined to be Interviewed
saying he had retired from the railroad
business. 1
