Valley Men go to Capital
On Farm Tariff Mission
C" 5
CSpecial to The Herald i
SAN BENITO. June 14.——
With defeat or victory for the tariff
measure by a margin of one vote
likely, every effort will be put forth
by the delegation of Texans which
left last night for Washington to
keep the Texas senators solidly be
hind the tariff on agricultural pro
ducts that might compete with
those of this state.
A general view of the situation
was given here by J. E. Bell, chair
man of the Texas delegation, who
said that the tariff on tomatoes
is of prime importance in this sec
tion. and that the West Coast in
terests which are financing toma
toes In Mexico are making a still
greater fight against the tariff.
A. O. 8teams. of Nogales, Aria.,
manager of the West Coast Vege
table Growers. Inc., which concern
has been financing Mexican grown
tomatoes, has been in the East re
cently. working to secure support
of brokers and others in opposition
to the tomato tariff. Bell said.
Texas Delegation
The Texas delegation included
BeH. C. C. Belcher of Del Rio, Am
brose Johnson of Laredo. C. B.
Metcalf of San Angelo. Ed Nichols
of Clarksville, and Brown White.
San Benito Prank Rabb of
Brownsville, who was named on
the committee, did not make the
trip because of illness.
A communication received by Bell
on the eve of his departure from
L. L. Chandler of the Goulds
Growers. Inc., tomato organisation
of Florida, expresses the apprecia
tion of that seetior for continued
help of Texas in the work for a
tomato tariff.
Florida to Ship
Chandler expresses the belief
that Florida will be able to con
tinue shipping tomatoes in spite of
the Mediterranean fruit fly. He
saya that observation in other sec
tions has shown the green tomato
is not a host, and that all Florida
tomatoes move while green.
"We are going to put forth every
effort possible to secure passage of
the tomato tariff.” Bell said ‘ We
J. E. BELI.
believe our senators. Connally and
Shenpard. will support us in this,
an inestimable benefit will result to
the section from such help.”

BUDGET BILL
BEING SLICED
House And Senate Are $12,
000,000 Apart In
Estimates
I w —.—
AUSTIN. June 14.—Work of
' sandpapering the general appropri
ation bills is now in the hands of
a conference committee, both houses
i having passed them and refused to
j concur in amendments. There is
a difference of about $12,000,000 be
tween the senate and house.
The senate's total of approxlmate
! ly $58,000,000 exceeds the state's
; anticipated revenue by only $4.
| 000,000. Senator Tom Pollard of Ty
! ler. chairman of the finance com
! mittee. stated. He declared the
state treasury would receive $54.
000.000 in revenue during the two
| year period beginning Sept. !.
“If the automatic tax board will
! cease playing politics and levy a 35
[cent maximum tax. we will have
1 plenty of monev to finance this
state.” Senator Pollard said.
With less than half of the 30 day
special session pone, both houses
have made ranid progress, and un
less the Robinson impeachment
hearing consumes too much time it
1 is believed the state's business ran
be wound up in a single session.
Both houses seem a creed on a
penitentiary centralization bill which
will probably necessitate another
called session next winter. The
measure provides for a commission
of 18 to be composed of the nine
members of the senate and one to
be chosen from the outside by the
governor to make a survey and re
port its findings and recommenda
tions to the legislature for ratifica
tion. The survey would begin within
ten davs j»ft«*r the bill becomes law
and should be completed within 90
davs. It carries an appropriation of
$25,000 to pay expenses.
