WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH TEXAS?

No monkey business goes with Texas. The Standard Oil Company owes the State of Texas $6,016,250 in fines, and much more than that amount of property belonging to companies owned by the Standard has been attached by the State, together with a considerable sum of money that has been garnisheed, which also belongs to the parent company. No Kenesaw Mountain Landis tom-foolery goes in Texas, and that state is reliably democratic, too.
