Reports that had their foundation
in Dallas and Ft. Worth to the ef-
fect that the Santa Fe railroad in-
terests contemplate purchasing the
Louisiana Railway * Navigation Co.
were given wide publicity through-
out the Southwest Sunday and Mon-
day.
Such action is not improbable, it
is pointed out by local railroad men,
who look upon such with extreme
favor and point out the fact that
by merger of the L. R. A N. with
the Gulf, Colorado A Santa Fe,
Greenville will be placed in close
touch with other trunk'line roads of
the country In addition to a num-
ber of shorter line roads that will
proye of great value to this section
of the country, particularly Green-
ville.
The L. R, & N. line, the old
Shreveport branch of the M. K. &
T., has its western terminus in Tex-
as at McKinney, Collin county, and
traverses one of the most fertile
sections of the state—East Texas—
and touches the old Edenborn lino
at Shreveport. The Texas line con-
sists of approximately 200 miles of
trackage. This property was pur-
chased by Wm. Edenborn at re-
ceiver's sale some two years ago.
The Santa Fe,'one of major lines
of the nation, has several k outlets
in the Southwest and controls sev-
eral transcontinental lines. This
road passes through a rich section in
a southeasterly direction to New
_ I Orleans; through the middle west to
'iHvs Galveston; with transcontinental
lines to the Pacific coast, and con-
trols several short lines in this state.
Thei short lines considered of great-
est importance to Greenville via the
L. R. £ N. are the Paria-Cleburne
branch, reaching from Paris, Lamar
1 beet) olir experience county, to Cleburne, Johnson coun-
«e who take the time' t*r’ *n^ City branch, run-
ning from Galveston to Ore City,
Longview and other East Texas
points.
By acquiring the L. R. A N. the
Santa Fe would have an additional
outlet to Dallas and < Fort Worth,
aince the L. R. ft N. crosses the Par-
i* Cleburne branch of this road at
Farmersville, eighteen miles west of
Greenville. It it stated on good au-
thority that In event the deal is con-
summated the Santa Fe will extend
the present L. Be * R. trackage on
to Lubbock via Denton and that sec-
tion. Thi« is considered an excellent
outlet, not only in view of the new
state school to be erected at Lub-
bock, but will give traffic u more
direct route to the Pacific coast.
Also, acquiring the L. R. & N.
property would see the Santa Fe di-
vert all its freight from Kansas,
Western Oklahoma, Colorado and
other western territory bound for
Smjtheast Texas and Louisiana
points via Greenville, thus greatly
Increasing the importance of Green-
ville as a railroad and shipping
center.
Should this change be made, th«
L. R. A N. would become a part of
the Gulf, Colorado A Santa Fe, Qm
name by which the Southern and
Western divisions are known, it will
prove valuable to Greenville in many
respects.
Greenville as the headquarters
for the L. R. A N. now supports
some fifty or more executive and of-
fice employes in addition to the
train, yard, round house and other
crews incident to the successful op-
eration of the line.—Greenville Her-
ald.
TAX COLLECTORS
MAY RE INDICTED
Austin, Texas, April 1.—If Jan-
uary reports of tax collections are
not received within a reasonable
length of time, the delinquent tax
collectors may face prosecutions
under the statute setting a time
limit when such collections must be
remitted ho the state treasury, ac-
cording to State -Comptroller Lon
A. Smith. This announcement fol-
lows the report of the Travis county
grand jury that investigations by
that body revealed that tax collect-
or* in thirty-one counties are de-
linquent. While not returning any
indictments, the grand jury recom-
mended that the comptroller imme-
diately notify all delinquents by
registered mail and insist that col-
lections be sent at once to the state
treasury.
A former grand jury of Travis
county indicted Tax Collector G. A.

to remit collections within the period

guished visitors, as follows: W. R.
Ragsdale, a Lion of the Greenville
den and an architect by profession,

REED REVIVES
ISLAND SCHEME
Washington, April 1.—Senator
James A. Heed of Missouri, it was
indicated today, will soon re-intro-
duce into congress two resolutions
which died with the expiration of the
last session, calling for information
on the possible acquisition of Brit-
ish islands near the shores of the
United States.
Senator Reed and other senators
are known to be apprehensive of a
new “war debt drive” from Europe
and desire to assume the offensive
betpre this country is forced again
into an embarrassing defensive posi-
tion.
According to their view, the Unit-
ed States may be pictured as the
”dressed-up little girl” with all the
“candy,” and Europe as the “rag
muffin” without any.
They point to Ibemier MacDon-
ald’s frank letter of Feb. 21 to Pre-
mier Poincare, in which he said:
Agreement Urged.
“If France and England can but
agree, the co-operation of the other
countries will be assured and it will
be possible for us to approach the
United States, not as debtors, dis-
puting one with another, but us u
united Europe anxious by mutual
sacrifice and arrangement, to cure
the ills from which our people are
now suffering. I repeat, my dear
premier, that the conditions of Eu-
rope can only, I feel convinced, be
remedied by joint action between
France and England undertaken
with full sympathy for their respect-
ive requirements and with wise re-
ward for the interests of the world
at large. For such co-operation I
am fully prepared.”
These words have only one mean-
ing to Reed. They mean a new cam-
paign on the subject of war debts.

Judge R. E. Bertram and . Com-
missioner Bud Melton went to Bra-
shear early Tuesday morning to see
Commissioner Pete Helm, who has
been sick for the past two weeks.
They found Mr. Helm much better,
and able to be up. But J. B. Ma-
haffey is a real sick man.

The present Travis county grand
jury found that approximately $3,-
500,000 of 1023 taxes have not been
remittee! to the state and, accord-
ing to the state treasurer, if this
money is not received soon, the
state's general revenue fund will re-
turn to n deficiency basis. The
grand jury recommended that if the
practice of holding up tax collec-
tions fa not discontinued that “vig-
orous steps should be taken by the
proper authorities to see that the
law is enforced.”
Comptroller Smith said today
that all of the January collections
should have been received not later
than February 25. He said he has
sent notices by registered mail to aU
delinquent collectors.

D. H, Morris Drug Company
gaimation in Graham, told the club
how the playing of golf hail become ‘
to be .recognized as a medium of ,
clcjin, wholesome recreation and an
agency for public health 'among
business and professional men, who
must find time and opportunity to :
guard against too close confine-
ment. His remarks were backed up j
by Rev. Fort, and their suggestions
met a hearty response from the en-
tire club, and a golf link and golf
club for the business men of Sul-
I phur Springs and Hopkins county
! is a sure thing. J. E. Evans, Lloyd
; Davidson and J. B. Rieman are re-
| sponsible for the organization of
! this club.
Another sure thing to be accom-
plished by the action of the club was
on the recommendation of Lion
Hamilton that the streets in the eity
! that arc frequently in very bad
j condition during wet weather lead-
ing to the cemetery be put in condi-
tion, so that at no time will there be
an embarrassment to the city on ac-
count of funeral processions going
to the cemetery. President Dial ap-
pointed on that committee John
Foiicue, M. L. Hamilton, Emmet
Thornton to work out a means for
the proposed improvement.
M. B. Sherwood, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, asked the
club to select a delegate from the
Lion* club to.attend the county con-
vention Saturday, April 12, at 4
o’clock, for the purpose of naming
delegates to represent Hopkins coun-
ty and Sulphur Springs in the State
Centennial District convention,
which meeflHn Texarkana Saturday,
April 19. L. M. McKee was select-
ed as a representative of the Lions
club.

that of reparations. It is infinitely
to be desired that they should be
settled at the same time.”
The principle that war debts and
ieparations are not to be linked to-
gether has from the first been main-
tained by the United States. In oth-
er words, as long as France and
Britain possess other resources they
should pay up, whether they collect
from Germany or not.
Island* Strategic.
During lit 19 and 1920 informal
discussions in the press suggested
that the United States might be
willing to Hccept Bermuda and cer-
tain other valuable islands on ac-
count, to reduce the British war
debt.
During the Civil war St. George’s
harbor was used to shelter block-
ade runners of the Confederacy. In
more recent years Bermuda has
bristled with forts and guns, and the
plebiscite aspirations of the resi-
dents have been curbed by the mi-
nority representing British imperial-
ism and intellectualism.
When “feelers” were put forward
to sound American sentiment on the
acquistion of Bermuda, former Sen-
ator George E. Chamberlain of Ore-
| gon gave out. a statement, Raying if
I England’s protestations of friend-
i ship meant anything, she should be
| willing to trust Uncle Sam with ad-
ministration of Bermuda and the
West Indian islands as safeguards
of the Panama canal. Chamberlain
and Reed stand together on the pro-
posal that a master stroke in diplo-
macy for the state department
would be the acquistion of these
strategic points vwhile the United
SUtes is in a position to drive a
bargain and while war debt* still
have value.
