Strict regulation of one form of
transportation and the lessening of
regulation of any other form is unfair *

Texas railroads obey the rules of the

of government and those taken on vol-
untarily in the interest of public safety.
Texas railroads are spending this
year, large sums of money for new and

All the railroads of Texas are ask-

in a fair field.
Texas now has good state laws for the
regulation—in the public interest—of
all transportation. These laws are help-
ing to stabilize transportation, and all
business and industry that has to use
transportation. These laws are helping
to reduce the terrible accident toll on
your highways. They are helping to con-
serve your investment in your highways.
Regulation of transportation in the
United States has been developed over o
period of fifty years,. Reasonable regu-

and necessary in the public interest.
