TEXAS M SEEKS
NORTHERN CAPITAL
Promised That Outside Jnvcston
Will Get i Square Deal.
Lieut. Got. Hobby Telia Kew York
Heporter That Prohibition la
Sidetracked in Faror of Ma-
terial Development.
There wiU be a disposition to attract
outside capital to Texas after January 18
when the new administration takes of-
fice according to W. P. Hobby who was
elected lieutenant governor after ho and
James E. Ferguson now governor-elect
had carried the democratic primaries.
Mr. Hobby who spent several days here
last week said the new administration
would do everything it could to Induce
northern capital to enter Texas and help
in building up its industries.
For some years Texas has had the
reputation In financial centers of making
every effort to discourage just this thing.
Its drastic antitrust law. Its railroad reg-
ulation extending to the question of the
Issue of securities and Its more recent
law requiring insurance companies to In-
vest 76 pr cent of their Texas reserves
In Texas securities have been cited as In-
stances. The laBt was followed by the
withdrawal of most of the big Insurance
companies from the State. Mr. Hobby
hastened to add that It was not proposed
to change any of these laws but it would
be made plain to Northern and Eastern
eapltal that It would get a square deal in
all respects.
WILL STAND
BY PLEDGES.
"That was a part or our announced
program In the primary fight" ho said
"and the fact that we won shows that
the people of Texas want to give capital
a square deal
"The new administration Is committed
to putting the material development of
the State before everything else. For
eight years it has been torn politically by
the question of Statewide prohibition.
There have been only two parties muni-
tion and antlprohlbition. We took the
ground that there were other questions
worthy of consideration. We asked the
people to drop the prohibition question
and turn their attention to the material
interests of the State. Texas was in a
good position to sidetrack this Issue for
we have local option now by counties and
divisions of counties.
"Neither Mr. Ferguson nor myself had
ever been a candidate for office before
and we were not as well known as our
opponents but the voters rallied to our
program and Mr. Ferguson won by 40000
and I by a smaller plurality.
"Now as to the so-called radical legis-
lation of Texas. Our anti-trust law has
the reputation of being radical because
Texas was a pioneer In this direction.
Nothing can be prevented under our law
that can not be prevented under the 9her.(
man act. . The penalties may be more
drasUcT but little fault la likely to be
found by legitimate business with the
manner tn which a violation of law is
punished. Texas was also a pioneer in
regard to railroad regulation. The estab.
llshment of the railroad commission was
considered radical but Its powers have
lost this aspect since those of the Inter-
state commerce commission have been in-
creased. It happens also that there are
fsw roads In Texas now that are not In-
terstate and thus removed from Its juris-
diction In large part anyhow.
TEXAS LAW8 ARE
NOT SO RADICAL.
"The Insurance companies are begin-
ning to seek readmlssion to Texas. The
law as to Investments is reasonable and
many of the companies put 75 per cent of
their Texas funds Into Texas securities
before the law was enactl. Companies
that ar ready to come back object only
to the requirement that they pay the ac-
cumulated taxes and they want these
back dues remitted. The legislature will
probably meet them on this.
"The fact Is that there Is nothing In the
so-called radical laws of Texas that has
not subsequently been adopted by the
federal congress or in the case of secur-
ity control Is about to be. There has
been perhaps In th past sn attitude of
hostility toward outside capital. If so
there will be none under the new admin-
istration. What Texas needs is material
development and its people realise that
for this outside capital Is requisite. They
are prepared to welcome It on fair terms
"Texas Is almost wholly agricultural
but It is In a position to maintain manu-
facturing industries. Look at th cotton
that is grown there and Is now shipped
out for manufacture. There Is no reason
except the needed capital why textile
mills should not be established at home
and ready markets for the finished prod-
uct are open to them. Th. development
Of our porta with greater dock facilities
Is another matter requiring attention end
capital. These are but Instances of the
field now opened up through the .indorse-
ment of our platform by the people."
CAPITAL LOOKING TO TEXAS.
