6ION8 OP THE TIMES, some of
them are good and some of them
ars not so good.
Let's talk Just a wee bit about
aome of the not so good ones.
Then, if we have space left, about
•oma of the good ones, of which
there are plenty,
• • •
HONESTLY, WE. "view with j
alarm” this tendency of our city i
commissions in the Valley to erect |
a protective tariff wall around their j
cities
Other night Harlingen city com-.
mission orders that all milk sold In'
Harlingen must be pasteurized with- j
In the confines of commissioners
precinct No. 4.
Intent of the order is obvious.
Meant to throw business to Har
lingen concerns.
Perhaps to bring additional in-j
dustjTs to Harlingen
Mudable purpose.
AtjJK he result?
Next day agitation is started In i
Brownsville for a similar ordinance j
One which would provide that a'l
foodstuffs such as milk and bakery \
products sold In rownsviile must
be prepared for the market «n \
Brownsville.
It's dangerous doctrine.
Leading away from that true Ideal ;
of Valley oneness for which we are
striving. fall short of the mark
though we may.
Not a Valley community that is
sufficient to itself alone.
Trade at home?
Most assuredly you and I should;
trade at home.
And where Is home?
Can we of Brownsville, business
and professional men. live and prof- j
it on the business we derive from i
sklents of Brownsville alone?
Can the business and professional •
men of Harlingen get by on what
the residents of Harlingen alone
apend with them?
Folks, It Just can’t be done.
Least of all can it be done by
legislation
These times of depression call for
cod and collected thinking.
Tp y do not call for hasty legtsla
tftMpVnich will array the sentiment
ofnfe. residents of one Valley city
against the residents of anothei.
NOW IS THE *time for residents
of every Valley city from Rio Grande
City to Brownsville to Raymondville
to get their heads together
And to resolve that by neither
thought nor action will anyone or
any organization in any one com
munity do anything which would
even hint at injuring any Interest
In anv other community.
It must be done, and we are so
confident of our Valley we believe it
will be done.
If seventeen years residence in the
Valley have taught us any one j
thins, they have taught us this:
That friendship and community
Interest is not bounded by the artifi
cial confines of any political entity.
• • •
LETS ALL GET out and hustle1
for business.
Not a man in business in this (
Valley today who needs the help of i
city ordinances to get that business. |
And not a man in business in this ;
Valley today who will not be hurt |
more by city ordinances such as
thoae we have been discussing than;
hfibrv be benefited.
ifen y of Brownsville people buy 1
plenty things in Harlingen.
Plenty Harlingen people buy plenty
things in Brownsville.
It's one of those 50-50 propositions.
And applies not only to Harlingen
and Bftwnsvllle but to every other.
Valley community.
Harlingen and Brownsville have
been taken as the example of the
particular case in point.
Just as easy could we have pick
ed almost any other two Valley |
cities.

FEE TROUBLE
HEARING SET
County Officials May
Appear In Court
Thursday
—
First steps toward settlement of
the financial differences of Cam
eron county and county officials, as
reported by County Auditor H. M
Skelton, Sr., before the commis
j sioners’ court Thursday, will likely
be taken next Thursday, it has
1 been indicated.
Skelton reported that three pres
ent office holders and three for
mer officers have funds in their
possession which can be claimed by
the county. The auditor asked that
"steps be taken to claim-' this i
money. •
The commissioners’ court passed
an order authorising the auditor to
take such steps as he deemed nec
essary.
Indications are that each of
these officers will be called before
the commissioners in executive ses
sion Thursday and an attempt at
settlements w:ill be made. If satis
factory arrangements ar® not made
suits will likely be filed. In some j
instances the officers may sue the
county and in others the county
may sue the officers.
Salary Limit Bill
Draws Responses
Renewed evidences of support for
the fee bill Introduced by Rep
resentative Milton West to limit
salaries of county officials of Cam
eron and Hidalgo cou ties to a
maximum of $6,000 were being
seen today in Cameron county
while opposition to the measure
developed among Hidalgo county
officials.
No expression of opinion regard
! ing the bill has been made for
! publication by Cameron county
' officials.
Several telegrams of %upport for
; the measure were sent to West
Thursday and additional measures
were prepared for transmission
Friday.
Judge Oscar Dancy, who first
proposed a bill limiting the salar
ies of those concerned to $5,500
stated his support of the West
measure, although reiterating his
opinion that $5,500 was sufficient.
However. Dancy agreed to support
the West measure, s ng that the
representative was on the ground
in Austin and was undoubtedly in
a better position to determine what
sort of a measure could be passed.

HORSE RACING
IS TEST CASE
Sheriff Says Arrests Will
Be Made At Arlington
Downs
PORT WORTH. Sept. 18—UP)—A i
test case of the legality of the op
tion system of speculation on horse
races will result from the one-day |
meet at Arlington Downs Saturday,
it was indicated here Friday when,
after a statement b- W. T. Wag-1
goner, Tarrant county law enforce
ment officials announced they
would make a few arrests.
*‘I do not know." said Sheriff
Wright, "if Lie option system is a
violation of the law or not but I
will make one or more arrests
Saturday for the purpose of creat
ing a case which will settle the
matter."
District Attorney Martin has not
trade an investigation to determine
whether the system is a law vio
lation. He said that If !♦ Is. he will
treat it as any other law violation.
The matter of making he arrest,
however, is a function of the r'.er
iff’s department, Martin exp' -' ed.
In connection with the races and
barbecue. Waggoner, owner of the
Downs, issued the following state
ment Friday:
"I wish to make it °ar that
betting on races and gambling of
all sorts at Arlington Downs had
always been prohibited, and the
same policy will be pursued by Ar
lington Downs on this -wcasion.
"There will be no betting, no
bookmaking, nor any form of
gambling at Arlington Downs on
the occasion of this race meet,
and I am sure that those who at
tend this meet will ’adly conform
to our views on these matters."
Waggoner said that it was the
universal experience that horse
racing cannot be successfully con
ducted without some form or sys
tem of public participation in such
races. The practice of selling op
tion? in claiming races is followed
in other peaces, and that he had
been advised that this was not In
violation of any law of Texas.

* In the house the Olsen bill was

The vote was 19 to 8, with one
pair.
senate coalltlc k*- though the
ballot on the amendment, calling
for limitation of cotton acreage to
one-fourth of the cultivated area,
was regarded as a reliable test of
strength between the two factions
of reductionists. The one-fourth
amendment was adopted Wednes
day, 15-12. .
Long Wrshex Hands
If the senate adopts the one
fourth plan as the test vote Indi
cated committees of the two bodies
will have to work out an agreeable
compromise plan in free confer
ence.
In Louisiana Gov. Long declared
himself definitely removed from the
cotton situction and said he would
not call a special session of the
legislature to consider acreage re
duction. He characterized it un
constitutional and unenforce ;ble.
On the heels of passage of the
Olsen bill the house adopted five
concurrent resolutions relative to
the cotton emergency.
The resolutions were:
Pledging members of the legisla
ture to petition the governor to
call another special session to re
peal the acreage reduction bill in
event the states producing three
fourths, of the cotton failed to pass
laws calling for similar o. greater
reductions by January 20. 1932.
Asking Pres. Hoover to call an In
ternational c renew to discuss
the cotton problem.
Urging the federal farm board to
purchase all the cotton U 11 by the
American Cotton Co-operative as
sociation to be placed ‘ the ac
count of the cotton stabilization
corporation, and to w'th' old Its
holdings from the market until
January 1, 1934. The farm board
holdings then would be placed on
the market In qua.terly Install
ments of 250,000 bales.
Appeal to Hoover
Requesting Pres. Hoover to take
steps Immediately to extend credit
in the amount of 11,000,000,000 to
foreign nations at low rates of In
terest to be used In the purchase of
American agricultural products.
Asking newspapers to aid In the
campaign for in reased use of cot
ton and urging the general public
to purchase more atton products.
Indications that the Olsen bill
was satisfactory to Gov. Sterling
and would receive his signature if
placed before him came last night
when he said he believed it was a
good law. He indicated he would
not reconvene the legislature to re
peal the law if other cotton states
failed to fall in line.
With definite assurance that Tex
as would adopt an acreage reduc
tion measuie. ranging fr one
fourth to one-third of the culti
vated crope. Interest of the south
