LEGISLATORS
(Continued from Page One)
Retrieve prison farm, created com
mittees to Investigate Illegal pro
duction of oil and monopolistic
practices among milk companies,
continued the senate general in
vestigating committee, but refused
to conduct a broad investigation
into official acts of virtually all
state officials and its own members.
Estimates of the value of Its
work differed. While some critics
said It was a "do nothing'’ legisla
ture. which filibustered against
worthy bills, others maintained It
had stopped much harmful legisla
tion.
Relations between Governor All
ied. who succeeded Governor Mir
iam A. Ferguson in January, and
the legislature, for the most part,
were harmonious. The house re
fused to elect the speaker he favor
ed, choosing Coke Stevenson of
Junction over Bob Calvert of Hills
boro. but the contest left few open
wounds. Governor Allred himself
said the legislature had "done very
well" and had enacted many con
structive laws.
GROWERS GET

from Yoakum. However, the ship
ment* out of that section will be
fairly light.
The estimate of the Department
of Agricultjre issued Saturday plac
ed the anticipated yield for the Val
ley at 1.040.000 bushels, as against
an estimate of 1,280.000 bushels made
April 15.
Hail damage, lack of ram in some
sections, and other factors contri
buted to the reduction.
Although 1,040.000 bushels is the
equivalent of about 3.366 carloads,
this estimate Includes the entire
probable yield, and not Just the
shipments, the tomatoes that are
canned, those left In the fields, and
those culled out all being Included
This would indicate an available
supply for shipment much leas than
the total estimated yield.
The market wm baaed on a two
cent price the past two days, but
many growers were getting more
than two cent*, and as much as three
cents where they had good quality
tomatoes, with prospects for con
tinued good market.
16,507 Carloads Of
Produce Are Moved
WESLACO. May 11. — Total ship
ments of Lower Rio Grande Valley
fruits and vegetables mounted to
16,507 cars Saturday as the first of
what la expected to be a large to
mato crop started moving.
The total Is 3.068 cars behind
shipments at the same date last
year, when 19.595 cars had been
moved. This decrease is due chief
ly to freezes in January and Febru
ary which wiped out large vegetable
plantings.

INFLATION AHEAD!
(Continued from Page One)
sive. But during the next two years capital goods or durable goods wtll
gain more than consumer goods. Expansion will be felt more by lines
supplying durable goods for consumer use, such as Automobiles, refrig
erators and electrical appliances, than by the heavy goods industries
Housing boom will not develop in 1935, but activity will start some time
late 1936, and develop into substantial volume in 1937, when It wl« be
oome cheaper to own than to rent.
WHAT TO EXPECT ON REAL ESTATE
Shortage of surplus of houses? Socially, theoretically, there* a
SHORTAGE. Actually, effectively, there* still a SURPLUS.
It is still cheaper to rent than to bnild, considering country as a
whole — averages of many communities. Until it becomes cheaper to
buy or build than to rent, there can be no real home building boom.
Mot much before 1937 wiU this point be reached. Then there will
be a real spurt, accompanied by broad strengthening of urban real es
tate prices. (Different situations in different cities, of course.)
Some advance signs of improvment earlier — in 1936. and even
late in 1933, but not of boom proportions.
Factors: Depression caused a tremendous shrinkage in the use
of houses, many families doubling up. Prices and rents shrunk badly.
Both are still low. relative to other prices. But now the slack is being
taken up gradually. Families are undoubling. The marriage rate is
now increasing, and new families need homes. Population is now shift
ing slightly, farm to city, helping to take up city vacancies. Unem
ployment is still high enough to keep the brakes applied to the demand
for houses, and this is likely to continue for at least a year more. Thus,
the spirited scramble for new houses will be delayed, but will come.
FINANCING COSTS COMING DOWN
Costa of wares mod bnUdinx materials are not likely to fall much
over the long pull of the next three or four yean, although they may
decline over the shorter pull.
Costa of financing, however, are coming down, due to the lower
trend of Interest rates and to government pressure for long-term amor
tising loans. This will reduce the carrying charges on home owners.
Government housing measures: Federal Housing Administration
M * stimulating influence on housing, but only for the long pull of
several years. Lower mortgage costs and longer amortisatlonn periods
will be the principal fruit Modernisation loans will be of increasing
importance, but for the present they represent a “drop In the bucket"
of total house construction normally needed. Government loan aids to
home owners have kept many homes off the market, and have kept real
estate prices from going even lower. Government construction of low
qpst housing will be socially beneficial and economically desirable, con
sidering the whole picture, but they will tend to delay private opera
tions, and will not compensate for the slack caused by this delay.
Farm prices seem to be headed slowly upward. Farming Is more
profitable than formerly, or less unprofitable. There has been an exo
dus from dues back to farms, where at least a living is to be had.
Mortgage lending policies are slowly becoming more liberal. Insurance
companies and others are trying to get back Into farm lending. Old age
pensions will cause pensioners to seek small farms near urban centers.
Farm property taxes have declined, while most others have risen. Bet
ter and more roads, better end more automobiles, rural electrification,
government retirement of poor land — all these will tend to Increase the
value of good land.
Inflation will drive owners of capital to seek safety In real estate
ownership, both of houses and of lands.
