The flour mills of Texas consti-
tute one of the most important in-
dustries in the State. According to
the Federal census report of 1910,
we have 238 mills, employing 1,899,
people and representing an invest-
ment of $13,219,000. The industry
has shown an increase of 118 mills
and an increase of investment dur-
ing the past decade of $9,236,000
and now ranks third among onr in-
dustries as to capital and second in
value of its output.
We have a flour milling capacity
of 7,800,000 barrels annually. The
average consumption per capita is
about one barrel per annum or ap-
proximately 4,000,000 barrels, leav-
ing 3,800,000 barrels to seek an ex-
port market'. A few mills not able
to enter the export trade have been
compelled to shut down for want of
a market, although a million barrels
of foreign flour are sold in Texas
each year. The patronage of home
industry would open these mills and
£ive employment to 500 people and
mcrease the demand for wheat raised
by the Texas farmers.
The miller is perhaps the only
manufacturer in Texas that has out-
grown the raw material produced on
our farms. We produced last year
11,025,000 bushels of wheat which
is 25,000,000 below the annual ca-
pacity of the mills. The Texas mill-
ers are heavy purchasers of Okla-
homa and Kansas wheat. A number
of the Texas mills have built' up an
extensive export trade with Central
America, Cuba, Porto Rico, and
quite a few of them go t'o England
and the Continent with a consider-
able bulk of their output.
The opening of the Panama canal
will enlarge the marketing zone of
the Texas output and call for an in-
crease in the area of our wheat fields,
but both the farmer and the miller
need the friendship of the consumer
in building up our flour industry.
WITHINTHE LAW
Whether the Attorney General in
filing the so-called anti-trust suits
is within the law has no bearing
upon the immediate effects accom-
panying such litigation. The fact
stands out boldly that corporate in-
vestments in Texas have been thrown
in the hands of a receiver without a
hearing and a railroad is now being
tried for high crime for alleged
minor effenses. Perhaps the statutes
may j ustify and duty demand such
action, but in the chancery court of
industry, a verdict must be rendered.
that the law of common sense has
been violated.
Leaving the statutes for. the in-
terpretation of lawyers and elminat-
ing from the discussion the person-
ality of all public officials past or
present', there is no escaping the
power of men in the affairs of gov-
ernment. Standing at the source of
every movement, good _or evil, in
government is a man^ an<T upon the
wisdom and experience of those who
wear the mantle of authority depends
our final destinies. Our progress,
and indeed our safety, is injthe hands
of those who guide the ship of state.
It is upon their knowledge of the
high seas of commerce, their expe-
rience in seamanship, that we must
depend to keep us off1 the reefs of
destruction and in the roadstead of
success. It is through our leaders
that we must knock at the door of
opportunity to enter the gatfe to the
cemetery of despair.
There is no more noble purpose
in life than a desire to be useful and
no one for a moment questions the |
motive of onr public officials, but
the pathway of civilization is Btrewn;
with the wreckage of good intentions 1
and pinned under its timbers are;
the people whose leaders have dis-
playd more courage than wisdom.
Those who have torrents of ener-
gy to turn loose in the name of the!
state should realize that folly has
its limits as well as its rights and
that the public can reasonably ex-
pect those whom it honors to do
something more than meddle witii
fate and scuffle with progress.
As a rule responsibility steadies
rather than intoxicates public offi-
cials, but the surest way to promote
our prosperity is to elect to office
men seasoned in business affairs and
who have had experience in actual
transactions. Government is a big
business institution and only those
who possess masterful qualities can
properly manage it'.
