witness from other sections.
The application for the reduction
was made jointly by the growers,
the Texas Railroad Commission and
the Texas Legislature.
It was based on the allegatih
that an emergency existed and that
immediate relief was necessary to
permit the shipping of this year s
fruit and variable crop to market.
It was claimed by producers that
unless the rate was lowered, the
fruit and truck growing industries
of Fast Texas and the Rio Grande
Valley and other sections would be
dealt almost a death blow.

The report charges gross neglect
and corruption in office.
The report charges that the Gov-
ernor also with “unwarranted use
of his executive powers” in regard
to reprieves, pardons and paroles,
declaring the present administra-
tion has extended clemency to 1.900
persons.
