through the efforts of D. E. Colp,
Chairman qf Texas 8tate Parks
Board, deeded to the state. Devel-
opment bf the cave made possible
by Jack Nassamer, of San Antonio,
is now under way. Trails are be-
ing built, the most modern of elec-
trical lighting is being installed—
in fact every comfort and conven-
ience is being provided for the vis-
itors. . -
A few weeks ago the writer in
company with Chairman Colp. Mr.
Nassamer, representa'tives of vari-
ous departments of the state of
Texas, made a trip far into the
depths of -the labyrinth-. To attempt
a description of its vastbess and
variety of decoration is to find
the English language wanting in
j superlatives.
I The rooms are collosal recesses
with glittering cal ride walls which
cast back the rays of our flashlight,
like showers of diamonds! The

We foqnd mystery abounding at
many a turn in the winding tun-
nels and sassage ways. Through-
out the trip we found no two rooms
similar in decorations nor did we
□nd the formations alike in sym-
metry or shape. ft one thinks of
the cavern furnishings in terms of
animal life one can see beasts, rep-
tiles and birds, reproduced in mar-
ble-like formation which has been
built up by the slow dripping of
water.
. This water, seeping through the
ground from 'surface rains, is im-
pregnated with a teaspoou of min-
eral to the gallon. The water,
seeping in -drop by drop evaporates,
leaving microscopic deposits of min-
eral—one upon the other. Ages
ago it began and drop by drop il
has continued. Long, ago! science
e-stabished conclusively that 1.0U
years is required (or a single cubic

ing constructed within the explor-
ed area.. A-dining room' is being
equipped in one of the large rooms,
and what will be the world's only
underground theatre is being built
within a chamber leading off the
main entrance. It hRs a seating
capacity for several thousand
people, and will be utilised for dra-
matic presentations, conventions,
public meetings and the like.
From all appearances Longhorn
Cave, when completely explored,
may surpass in size any known
cavern, and is it but befitting that
the largest state in the Union
should have the biggest cave in
the country. Since Longhorn Cave
is a state park It is your yave and

UNEQUAL REGULATION IN
TRANSPORTATION CAUSES
DISORDER AND CONFUSE
• The instability, confusion and disorder which unrestrained lrn^k trans-
portation has brought about is responsible in large measure for imich of the
distress in which all business finds itself today. Texas has -amoved to find
a remedy and all concerned in the welfare of this state amTUs institutions
should cooperate in the effort to restore stability and order to our trans-
portation systems, . ...' '
The Texas Railroads, in these advertisements^have endeavored i*>
• * place before the people'of this, state some of the reasons why the existing
,t -. law,s, regulating motor transportation, should be upheld and enforced.
’*!' L The railroads are necessary for the successful marketing of the.
enormous production of this state, which is used and consumed in' eyePy
othen state in the union.
- . ■ - ' . • ; _ - . • • L " . -
Uniform, published, non-discriminatory transportation service rates
are essential to the orderly conduct and welfare of business.
Unregulated truck transportation inevitably results in discriminatory
charges and practices, rebating, unfair and unbusinesslike competitive
methods, bringing about losses and commercial insecurity.
•The wholesaler, jobber, retailer and local merchant suffer from the
unfair competition of truckers and peddlers who, for the most part,- are
non-residents, .pay no taxes and contribute nothing to the* community .
welfare.
The fanner and agricultural producer must have at his command
facilities adequate to transport crops and produce which move long dis-
tances in large volume, at low cost, by rail,
2. The railroads build and- maintain theiu^own rbadways, pay heavy
. taxes for the support of state and municipal governments and institutions,
and expend millions of dollars for payrolls, materials and supplies. Rail-
road workers are substantial citizens, home owners, and valued members
of their communities.
3. Rail transportation is the most efficient and economical in existence
for the movement of traffidn volume by land.
4. Texas highways belong to the people and are built and maintained
at heavy cost! Their use for commercial purposes is a privilege, not a/
right. They should be kept safe for general use and not prematurely
destroyed by heavy trucks. ,
5. The stability, security aiitf orderly conduct of business require
Reasonable control and regulation of all transportation agencies.
