But I believe the most powerful, re-

method used In conjunction with the
ideas mentioned. would be q oonstitu-
tional amendment migrating in our
organic law an Immigration and in

What cane man would think of con-
Quoting gigantic land business or
other enterprise without distinct,
well equipped department. employing
the most skilled men to handle every
branch thereof. Why not Tex
as adopt this method? To create
values for our fertile domain we
must reach beyond the confines of our

has resorted to many ways in the past
to advertise itself, by giving large
grants of land for the construction Of
railroads, to heads of families, by ap.
