“It is, upon motion duly made,
considered, and unanimously car
ried. ordered by the commissioners'
court of Cameron county, that Os
car C. Dancy, county judde, be, and
he is. authorized and directed to
file with the Honorable Board of
Water Engineers of th? state of
Texas a copy of this resoluticn pro
testing the granting of the said per
mit of the said J. T. Franklin.''
To Act On Ticks
Definite action by the Cameron
county commissioners court on tick
eradication in the Lower Valley
probably will be taken at the first
session following the adjournment of
the second called session of the leg
islature. it was. indicated today
when members of the court author
ized Judge Dancy to notify the Tex
as livestock sanitary commission
that “the commissioners court of
this county, while desiring to put
on eradication and to be listed as
one of the firs tcounties. desire to
know more fully just where we are
with regard to maintenance.’’
Judge Dancy immediately drew up
a letter to the sanitary livestock
commission notifying them of the
court's action as follows:
Dancy's Letter
At the regular June meeting of
the commissioners' court held in
the courthouse this morning, the
matter of tick eradication in Cam
eron county was taken up and dis
cussed. and while on resolution was
spread upon the minutes, I exepress
the unanimous sentiment of every
member of the court when I state
that the commissioners' court of
Cameron county is in favor of tick
eradication, but I wish to make the
following statement:
Years ago. upon the demands of
the Honorable Live Stock Sanitary
Commission, of which Hono. J.
Boo g-Scott was chairman, and of
the federal authorities, we put on
tick eradication in this countv. and
spent some $6,000 or $75,000 'which
money was largely wasted, trying to
eradicate the catUe tick of the
county.
In many instances we did good,
as at one time we had the tick erad
icated or almost completely eradi
cated in the farming and irrigated
section. We protested the attempt
to eradicate the tick in the brush
land, as we believed it impossible on
account of deer and other animals
and on account of lack of access of
reads at that time. This condition
has been changed and I believe it
possible to eradicate the tick of this
county and I am strictly for such
tick eradication, as I believe in the
possibilities of this county for dairy
ing.
Now. to put on tick eradication
and not keep it up will perhaps be
money wasted.
Therefore, the commissioners’
court of this couonty. while desiring
to put on tick eradication and to be
listed as one of the first counties,
desire to know more fullv just where
we are with regard to its mainte
nance.
Tick eradication in this county
means a great deal more than it
means to the range country. If we
put it on and eencourage our peo
ple to bring in high class and high
priced dairy stock, and then it is
dropped, our moneys, es well as the
state moneys, will be worse than
vr^Ste1» Por that reason 1 am sure
you whi appreciate our position that
*e believe we had better, before
£^U?.L1wJronlbound ^solution.
un.tdt,he second call<*d session
or the legislature adjourns or until
at least the appropriation bill is
passed and we find where we are in
regard to the situation.

MOODY SLATE
FACES DANGER
Close Scrutiny of Bills For
Appropriations is Held
Augur of 111
AUSTIN. Tex.. June lO.-nVfb—1The
unusual attentiveness with which
the legislature considered the ap
propriation bills during the first
week of the second called session
has inspired some watchers to see
in its industry no good for the gov
ernor s program.
The belief exists generally that
the legislature had in mlud passing
the appropriations and creating
some additional revenue for the high
way department preparatory to get
ting everything in shape so there
would be no excuse for a third
called session
So far. regulation of public util
ities. priority rights in public waters
and more effective laws dealing with
formation of companies for the sale
of stock and shares therein, other
wise known as the "blue skv"
statute—the chief subjects, outside
of appropriations and revenue and
taxation, submitted by the govern
or—have been given a cold shoulder.
The senate state affairs commit
tee failed to approve the public
utilities bill, and bills on neither of
the other subjects have come out of
committee. The house state affairs
committee could not muster a
I quorum when it tried to meet to
consider the blue sky law.
Utility Bill Fair
The governor will resubmit con
centration of the prison system af
ter he vetoes the centralization bill
enacted by the first called session,
and all are agreed he will disapprove
it. after receiving a unanimous ad
verse decision from the prison board
on "workability'' of the proposal.
'Today is the last dav of grace he
has to act on the bill. The 20-day
period given a chief executive to
nass on bills enacted within the last
ten days of a legislative session, will
be up at midnight. The first called
region adiourned May 21.
Anticinating the veto, there are
three bills already introduced, await
ing e.ction. In each Instance, the
legislature would be given plenary
oower to ratify any plans for cen
tralibatmn recommended by the
orison board or some other survey
commission. If either of these
bi’ls is passed it will necessitate an
other special session in the fall or
early next year.
However the proposed impeach
ment of J. T. Pob'son. commissioner
cf the general land office, has
, nroved to be a thorn in the side of
this legislature end on disposition
I ''f this movement depends much
■ legislation. If the hearing con
' ^umes a great deal of time, the
’egis’ative program will be greatly
handicapped If the matter is han
dled with dispatch, this session mav
be able to pass the aopropriation
| bills and revenue measures nrovid
j .ng for an increased rasolme tax and
a revised motor vehicle registration
| fee schedule.
Income Tax up
There are several other revenue
I raising measures pending. Including
| the income tax bv Representative T.
j N. Mauritz of Ganado. This re
! calls Governor Moody’s denial that
1 he had told the Joint session of the
! legislature last Tuesday that he fa
vored an income tax. Simultane
ously with the publication of a de
nial te’eg.vm from the governor by
! a naoer which criticised him edl
‘ tonally for his purported stand.
| there were circulated reports about
j the capital that a new income tax
j measure was in <y,urse of prepara
i tion at the instance of the governor.
' who was said to be dissatisfied with
i the Mauritz proposal. The governor
also denied he had expressed him
! self in favor of a four cent gasoline
I tax.
Regardless of how he stands the
I consensus is th*»re will be no Income
!»ax levied by this legislature. The
bei'ef is growing that a three cent
..’usoline tax is as high *s the sen
ate will agree to go.

Demo Puzzled Over
Significance of Fete
Honoring S ho use
- »
WASHINGTON. June 10.—</P>~
Democratic politics bubbled today in
the political pot that is Washington.
For tonight democratic organization
of the District of Columbia ▼ ill give
a dinner in honor of Jouet Shouse.
recently chosen lieutenant of
Chairman John J. Raskob of the na
tional committee, to have charge of
the new party headquarters here.
Opinions differ as to its significance.
On the one hand, sonic reports,
widely circulated and not whis
pered. have given the dinner the color
of a national affair. Thesi reports
have been ehiefly to the effect that
prominent members of the party
who opposed the leadership cf Al
fred E .Smith and Raskob in the
last campaign, would make It the
occasion to express publicly to their
constituents, particularly those in
the South, their du-aporoval of con
tinuation of that leadership by be
ing conspicuously absent.
On the other hand, the official
reports, formally and vigorously cir
culated. have insisted that the din
ner is strictly a local affair at which
Raskob and Shouse will be prom
inent speakers. Furthermore. Rob
ert N Harper, president of the Jef
ferson democratic association which
i is giving the dinner, asserts more
of the party's members in congress
have accepted invuxtions than were
expected
Robinson Accepts
Acceptances have been received
from Senator Robinson cf Arkansas,
democratic leader and Smith's run
ning mate in the campaign: Sen
ators Overman of North Carolina,
McKellar and Tyson of Tennessee.
Ransdell and Broussard of Louisi
ana. and Harrison cf Mississippi
Senator Fletcher of Florida, has
gone further and expressed regre
that some democrats were "helping"
republicans in an effort to use the
dinner "to divide the democrats and
force those democrats who were od
ocsed to Smith on tw*“ main grrunds
into the republican ranks."
Senator Glass, democrat Virginia.
Smith supporter in the campaign
whose state went into the Hoover
column, is one who sent his regrets.
I but. taking cognizance of the reports
centering on similar artten by ether
oartv leaders cf the South he made
j nubile a letter written to Mr. Shouse
i in which he exolained hts inablliy
| to attend. He had an engagement
with his physician in Baltimore to
day. contracted ten days ago. he
Jsaid. and an engagement made May
i 16 for ar. ‘mnortant Masonic func
tion in Virginia tor.ighh He raid
! he wished to exnress "rav personal

commentator in opposition to the

LET ME HELP YOU
WORD YOUR WANT AD i
I am employed by The Herald to give service to the
Valley people who use the Want A.ds only occasion
ally. The folks with whom 1 deal, use Herald Want
Ads maybe four or fivo times a year—to sell some
odd pieces of furniture—hire a maid—or transact
the many little businesses that arise in every-day life.
These people aren’t regular day after day advertisers
and seldom become experienced in the real psycho
logy involved in the writing of a Want Ad to get the
most “pulling power*’—we call »t—"’!l of every word
in tbeir message.
So, as I said before, 1 am employed to help them—
to help you, reader, for I know that down in your
basement—in your attic or garage, there are stored
away many household articles which you no longer
use and which could easily be turned into cash—it
means your vacation money.
Let me help you word your Herald Want Ad. Let
me advise you what to say in it, and what not to
say. Let me help to get you results • • • •
