The
eople of Texas:

In the annual report of Texas Railroad Co-
mission for 1900, then presided over by that
grand .old commoner, John H. Reagen, after
noticing the great increase in the amount that
the railroads of Texas had to pay in satifaction
of Jury verdicts and Court Judgment for per-
sonal injuries, the report says:
\\ hile we have no official information
showing the cause of this great increase,
we understand, in a general way, that it
probably results in a large degree from the
activities of regularly organized personal
injury bureaus. The only direct interest
which this Commission has in this ques-
tion grows out of the fact that, as the
amount of these payments are increased,
the available revenues of the railroad com-
panies are reduced thus necessarly operat-
ing, to that extent, to prevent the reduc-
tion of freight rates, or, it might be, to
cause an increase of them.”
What Judge Rcagen and his associates fore-
saw and warned against has actually happened.
1 he Railroad Commission of Texas has in-
creased freight rates. Not much yet: but it is
hoped the increases will be sufficiently liberal
to relieve the roads of their distressing necessi-
ties.
The Commission, after the most exhaustive,

The last legislature was importuned, by sel-
fish interests, to pass wholly unnecessary and
expensive laws, such as the so-called “full crew
bill and others, that would, had they been en-
acted, have increased the expenses of the rail-
roads of the state about four million dollars per
