Like carbon black, it will bob up again two years hence and then there will be another battle royal. Speaking of carbon black one of the backers of the bill remarked to a lawmaker: "What has posterity done for me that I should conserve the natural' gas on my farm? I need the money. I have gas for sale. If I cannot sell it for domestic purposes why shouldn't I sell it to the makers of carbon black?" It is said that one of the backers of the carbon black measure takes down in royalties $150,000 a year.

Posterity did nothing for him. He is willing for posterity to hustle for itsself or go hang its-self.

It is to the financial interest of the owners of these gas wells that the carbon black maker should be held in check and not be permitted to waste one of the valuable commodities of this commonwealth. Texas has a great future as a manufacturing state. Within a year a large cotton mill has been started in Fort Worth, and now it is announced that another cotton factory, the largest in the southwest, is to be erected in that city.
