TUG TEXAS AND PACIFICS PETITION
They Want the Common Point Unto
Itnlset un Account of the AVnc
lletvveeit Oeeiiil Lines
Austin Texas July 11 Ily way ot argu
ment In supixirt of the proposition to petl
ton tho railroad commission to nullify tho
effect of the cut lu ocean rates from Now
York to Galveston and llouslou by rais-
ing tho common point rnllrotd rates from
those points which proposition originated
wltb tlio Texas and Pacinc It Is advniuod
that said cut in tho ocean rata Is not a
permanent ouo nnd that It would unneces-
sarily disturb tho Southvfsstem na well as
tho Statu ralo situation to let It lnlluenco
tho rail tarltts In effect la this territory
It makes no difference that the Texas llnin
refuso to cut their local rates The reduc-
tion lu lh ocean ralo moans a reduction In
tho through rate from the Atlantic sea-
board which must eventually be followed
by a lediiellon of the St Louis tale lie
eause St l uiis dellnexl territory Jobbers
and manufacturers will not sit quietl by
and oo their cufctomcrs transfer their trade
to the seaboard
All tho Texaa lines do not take Ihu samo
view of tho matter that tho Texas and
Pacific does however for tho International
uud Great Northern and tho Simla Id
havo alrrndy refuses lo Join In tho petition
for a raise in tho flalvrelon and Houston
rate and It Is doubtful whether If attcr
studlug tho matter more carefully the
Southern Pacific will acquiesce theiein
Tho Southern 1acMc his Joined tho Mal
loiy lino In reducing the on an into from
New Ynik to head otf the gradual slipping
aw a or Texas business from the Atlantic
seaboard to Kansas Pit St Louis and
Chicago
Tho claim of the Military and Morgan
lines is that they aro entitled to better
latest front New York to New Orleans and
Galvosfon than prevail over tho all rail
llniH from New Vurk to St Louis and
the Wrot and the oeion rates would have
bl en mluceyl oro this had not the South-
western Traffic association refused to pei
mlt it Hut tho association Is dissolved
now and the situation Ia changed and It
may be put down us a cerlnluty that the
ocean rates will never bo put btck lo the
llgurn at which the xtood before he pros
ent into was opened up The advent of tlio
I one Sinr lino prcslpllntod the resliietloti
and occaslonoel the cut sooner than was in
leaded nnd brought about a gr ator slash
than was anticipated but when tlio clouds
roll by und the atmosphere clears up It
will bo found that whatever compromise
Is nirlvel nt will result In a much lower
mean tailff than the one In erTVcl berorc
