A Merger of Citrus Co-Operatives
Revived talk of a possible merger of some of the
too many citrus co-operativfs handling the Valley’s
citrus crop revives hope that the citrus marketing
problems of this section may lie worked out before ;
the opening of another marketing season.
It is an open secret that the past season brought
anything but pleasure and profit to growers and ship- :
pers alike, and It Is a further open secret that if
immediate steps are not taken to eliminate unsound, j
wasteful and uneconomic conditions of marketing,
disaster and demoralization face the citrus industry
of the Valley.
The Brownsville Herald realizes that there are many
tender toes likely to be tread upon in any discussion
pf merging co-operatives, or if any discussion of a
unified plan of citrus marketing, for that matter.
Bui The Herald does feel that the time has come
for these toes to be tread upon, if that is necessary
to insure the future of the citrus industry of the
Valley. The citrus industry is more than that, it
is the future of the Valley in a very real sense Ask
any one who has sold farm land in the Valley if the
prospect of raising citrus has not been the mam sell
ing point throughout the years of the Valley's de- I
velopment.
Not a tourist who comes to this section but wants
to visit an orange or a grapefruit grove and pick the
golden fruit from the tree Not a person who goes
away from here but leaves boasting of the high
quality of Valley grapefruit. Not a person whom
has tasted that fruit, whether in or out of the Val
ley. but sings the praises of this section as the pro
ducer of (he best flavored fruit In the world
Citrus is necessary to our continued development if
for not other reason than its value as a talking point
The Valley cannot let the citrus industry die. can- j
not let it lapse
None So Blind —
Whatever the exact wording of the quotation in
question, it'8 effect runs something like this—
• There are none so blind as those who will not see ”
In other words, you cannot convince a man who
will not be convinced, who adopts the attitude of cer
tain pupils in our schools who sit back and literally
‘ dare ’ their Instructors to teach them anything
You cannot convince those of this class, lor in
stance. that things are Retting better, that the up
grade in business has been reached Figures mean
nohmg in their young lives. They would rather car- j
rv the chip of a grouch on their shoulder Tb*»v
revel in hard times and now that good ttmes are on
the way. they feel out of place.
Actual statistics on record with city building in- '
specters the Valley over, for instance, show that
homes and business properties are being erected In
greater number right now than at any time since the
flush years of 1928 and 1929 Lumber yard* report
that more repair and remodeling jobs are under way.
These records, these figures, these statistics, mean
nothing to those of the class that "will not see". For
years they have been thriving on the depression.
Unable to gain a place in the sun of achievement,
they have assumed a dubious leadership of the forces
that maintain that everything la headed for the dem
nition bow-wow's. and Is going there in a hurry.
Like any leaders, they hate to give up their lead
ership. so thev continue their *ong of hard times,
refuse to consider actual facts and figures, and mock
those who try to po.nt out that the average man and
the average woman may reasonably expect an
amelioration of conditions in the immediate future.
Within Society’* Wall*
There died In Paineavtlle, O.. the other day a
woman named Mary Cole. She was 81 years old.
and she had spent almost her entire life In public In*
stitutions.
When she was a year old. Mary Cole was brought
to the county home by her mother, who had en
countered some misfortune or other which pre
vented her from caring lor her child Then the
mother went away—disappeared, died, heavens knows
Just what. Anyway, Mary COle was left for the
state to rear.
The state did Its Job. Man Cole grew up In an
orphanage and spent her womanhood in the county
home. Even the earliest moment she could remem
ber. she was a pensioner
She lived longer than most people, but she never
once lived in her own home with her own people,
never got even a glimpse of the life ordinary folk
enjoy.
A strange and tragic commentary on modern so
urly—this long and pathetically wasted life!
Kidney Stones Need
More Than. Removai
By DR. MORRIS HsHBtl.N
Uitor, Journal of th« Americas Medial Association,
and of HygeJa. the Health Magazine
Although doctors arc divided over the cause of
kidney stones, they're agreed about one thing—that
mere removal of the stones is not enough to cure
the malady.
To prevent other stones from forming, even alter
removal, every tiny piece of grave] that may be
present must be cleaned out. because these may de
velop into larger stones.
Furthermore, if infection is present, that must be
cleaned "up before the operation can be regarded as
completed. If there are any obstructions in the
urinary tract or kinks of various kinds, these should
be straightened out. and any other constructing
points should be eliminated.
Stones in the kidney can be discovered easily by
use of the X-ray. after which surgery can be em
ployed.
• • •
After an operation of this kind, the doctor should
study the diet of his patient and arrange for suit
table foods, with plenty of Vitamin A. that will help
prevent recurrence of this ailment.
This is the generally accepted procedure in the
rase of kidney stones, though the medical profession
is divided over causes of the disease.
One group of investigators believes that the stones
are the result of infections and that the invading
organisms are tha center around which the stones
form
Another group is convinced that stones form be
cause there are obstructions to the free flow of fluid
from the kidney and that obstructions of the
passages at any point set up conditions in which in
fection is simple and formation of stone likely.
• • •
A number of mvesitgators feel that errors of diet
are primarily repsonstble. parttculaly a deficiency of
vitamin A. The idea is that this deficiency brings
about a weakness m the tissues lining the paths in
the urinary tract, and that portions of tissue which
slough off form the center for the stones.
There are others who believe that the stones are
caused by abnormal products developed In the excre
tion from the kidney. Some feel that formation of
stones in the kidney is related to disturbances of the
actions of various glands which are involved in the
manner in which the body takes care of aaicium and
phosphorus in the diet.
This is particularly true of the parathyroid gland
Overaction of this gland will withdraw calcium from
the bones. Underaction leads to a wrong use of
calcium by the body.

! New York
By JAMES A SWELL
Central I'm* Staff Writer
NEW YORK Mav 7 It looks as
If the wealth-dividing will begin.
And not by any radicals, by congress
, itself, under the whip of President
1 Roosevelt.
Money will have to be obtained
from somewhere
And the plan of Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau Is none other
than the plan of Franklm D. Roose
velt, vie
Federal Inheritance taxes on the
same basis as income taxes
That was suggested In ck. e there
should be a soldiers' bonus.
It Is likely to come, however, bo
nus or no bonus.
Either money must come from
somewhere or the debt of the gov
ernment books must be written down
in terms of severe inflation.
And what would the inheritance
taxes proposed mean?
Well, it might mean the end of
large American fortunes, for the
government would do most of the
inheriting
The Don* Dukes, with their to
bacco millions, and the Barbara
Huttons, with i heir five-and-ten
mlll.ons, would have perhaps only a
million or twr instead of forty
millions That would be approxim
ately the ratio of the taxes
• * •
Heavier faxes
Heavier taxcg assuredly will come
within the next two years.
Only where .t will fall the heaviest
is the debatable question.
Capital is making heavy invest
ments In the United States at the
prr.M nt tune because taxes relative
ly, art not high.
A the New York Post points out:
"/he annual income per cap.ta
in the United Kingdom in good
times was $415 while in the United
States it w $734.
"The American public debt, fed
eral. state and local, was $370 per
capita on June 30 last year, while
the British public debt was three
times as great or $991 per capita.
"A married man with one child in
New York state, making $50 a week,
pays no income tax. while a mar
ried man with one child in Eng
land will have to nay $98 20."
The statements are made in re
sponse to remarks that England
speaks of reducing its income
taxes in smaller brackets.
England's income taxes are six
times as high as America s the Post
remarks.
American Imcme *
American *ncome in 1934 amount
ed to 47 6 billion dollars. That com
pares with 42 7 billion in 1933. 40 8
billion in 1932 <the low tor the
depression •. and 82.9 billion in 1929
record nigh.
But costs increased more rapidly
in 1934 than did income.
Says the Alexander Hamilton In
stitute:
"The index of purchasing power,
based on 1910 as 100. was 125.9 in
1934 as compared with 127.6 in 1933
a decrease ot 13 The increase <Jn
purchasing power» m 1934 over the
depressions low index of 124 3 in
1932 was only 1.3 As compared with
the Index of 176.4 in the pre-depres
sion year. 1929 purchasing power in
1934 allowed a reduction ot 28 6 pei
cent. This nearly equaled the de
crease ot 29.5 per cent at the de
pression s low in 1932.”
Those are Rloomy figures. They
indicate that the rich can buy. and
that those who haven't so much
money still arc in the depths of a
depression.

Textile Work Da*

Organized labor insists that noth

WASHINGTON
By Ray Tucker
slogan — President Roosevelt now
knows what conservative American
business men think of his policies
For a solid week during its national
convention at Washington, the
Chamber of Commerce of the Unit
ed States ridiculed and deplored the
New Deal. Their didoes confirmed
earlier reports that the President
was slipping with bankers, business
men and industrialists.
They talked economic problems,
but they thought in political term*
Mr. Roosevelt has taught them the
connection between the two realms.
Although they agree that business
shows a slight p.ck-up, they insist
that Mr Roosevelt himself Is the
only question mark on the econom
ic horizon Talking more confidently
in their off stage moments than in
their formal speeches — which were
bitterly anti-New Deal—they wish
that congress would extend Ihe NRA
in modi! led lashion and go home
They have no heart f6r Mr Roose
velt’s other ’ must" bills.
Silas H. Strawn. the Chambers
one-man ’’brain trust,” may have
p oked the politico-economic slogan
of 1936 Said he: "Let’s have re
covery and forget reform for a
while.” Some of Mr Roosevelt's ad
visers have been telling him that
for a long time.
• • •
Leader* Members of the Cham
ber are not practical politician*
They don't know how* to translate
their beliefs or antagonisms into
political action They hate the
fjong-Cough! in-Townsend clique
more than they do Mr. Roosevelt,
and as yet they see no signs of sta
bility in the G O. P.
What they don't seem to real
ize is that Big Business is develop
ing statesmen and spellbinders
within it own ranks Wendell Wil
kie for instance, has emerged as an
eloquent champion of the utilities
group Th.s young president of
Commonwealth Ac Southern made
an excellent impression on the poli
ticians of Capitol Hill and the
frost-bitten members of the cham
ber. Business has other able, force
ful and politically potential lead
ers in George Sloan of the textile
group. Owen D. Young of General
Electric and Gerard Swope
Politically minded observers who
hav» watched these men perform of
C ol C. conventions and similar
meetings often wonder why they
don t try their hand at practical
politics. As organizers of a party
to oppose the New Deal they out
shine the Fletchers, the Hastings
and the Teddy Roosevelts. And
1936 may be the kind of a year to
produce such a realignment.
Fiaunter* -Those twin poisons of
prohlbiuon days—graft and poli
tics—are on the prowl agan. They
are plaguing Joe Choate the fed
eral boss of the booze and bottles,
and cheering such white-ribboners
as Deets Picket and Dr. Clarence
True Wilson.
State monopolies are shot
through with corruption if you ran
believe federal officials. Half a
dozen are now under legislative in
vestigation. Retail dealers and rec
tifiers show no regard for the li
quor and tax laws They are giving
the liquor traffic the same bad
name it had before prohibition.
The remedy may seem visionary
but its consideration reveals how
rotien conditions may get if un
controlled.
• • •
Passing—It may be too early to
write the epitaph of the •'grand old
man of the democratic party.- but
the administration has lost its fear
of the explosive Carter Glass of
Virginia. He can't scare or bully
downtown Washington with his
sharp tongue and his distinguished
record as a party elder
Mr Roosevelt has licked him
consistently. The Senator's opposi
tion to confirmation of Marriner
Eccles as governor of the Federal
Reserve Board melted away when
the issue came to a showdown. So
did his demand for curtailment of
the $4,000.000 000 expenditure for
the work-relief program. Although
they have not made the headlines,
many other issues which he op
posed were settled satisfactorily to
the administration
There is drama in this vanquish*
ment of an old democrat by a
young democrat who was only a boy
in political teens when both serv
ed under Woodrow Wilson But cur
rent significance lies in the fact
that Messrs. Roosevelt. Eccles and
Morgenthau now look for an
easier time in passing the omnibus
banking bill over the opposition of
the Virginia patriarch's opposition.
Thev think they have his number
Alteration—It Is an ill wind
which blows somebody good, says
the political prophet. Until a few
months ago proposals to construct
both a power and irrigation dam
at Grand Coulee in Washington
state seemed chimerical Even the
Interior Department, which always
favors bigger and better projects,
was hostile
But now the Reclamation Service
wants to go ahead with the whole
project It has submitted a recom
mendation for construction of an
imgation-and-power structure to
co6t $400,000,000. whereas the ori
ginal proposal for a power dam
contemplated the expenditure of
only $186 000.000 The new program
provides for irrigation of more than
2.000.000 acres of land now waste.
The dust storms have changed
the economic and political pers
pective. Families bereft of farms
and homes bv the heglra of soil
according to recent survays. will
migrate to the Grand Coulee basin
as soon as it is made fertile and
habitable. So all aboard for Grand
Coulee—an artificial development
which drawls the Pyramids, the
Hanging Gardena of Babylon and
Tower of Babel.
