MODERN VERSION

Under the spreading family tree
The village magnate stands.
In truth mighty man is he,
With stocks and bonds and lands.
He has no need Of brawny arms,
For he has factory hands.
His hair is thin and so is he,
His brow is knit with lines
His eyes are like fox, his ears
Are like two dollar signs.
HE never earned a cent because
He owns things, chiefly mines.
Week in, week out, from morn till
night,
We see his figure bent.
His good right hand cuts coupons
While the other counts per cent,
Singing in glee DER what he saved,
Lamenting what he spent.
He goes on Sunday to the church
And tells the tender lads
To labor hard and long and shun
All fun and foolish fads.
And while they work he sits around
And gathers in the scads.
Talking, advising, harvesting,
Onward through life he goes.
And while the common people work,
His credit balance grows.
He always has his reaper out
When anybody sows
Like music sweet unto his ear
Is clink Of yellow gold.
1t makes him feel that with the gods
His presence is enrolled.
The devils that he curses are
Reformers bad and bold.

Der issue Of Petroleum Magazine. pub
lished here today.
~Mexico's right to pass laws nat
ionalizing the oil mines in accord
ance with the Socialization of all
means Of production and distribution
which are conducive to uphold the in
terest Of public welfare and the right
Of the sovereignty Of the state to

General Trevino.
"To accuse this law a. immoral and
unjust" ne adds, "is to make war
against the law Of the land ard
against the institution Of the govern
ment This war, whether waged
against Article p Of the constitution
by nationals or by foreigners is anti
patriotic and unjust.
Throughout this article. which is
translated from the Spanish. General
Trevino argues the direct dominion
Of the nation over the subsoil." This
is the substance of the constitutional
provision in question.
IF we consider the true condi-
tion Of the oil mines and make a deep
er study of the situation and grant
the ownership Of the surface Of the
land and A perfect vertical delimina-
tion Of this land" he writes, I'VE
would find that the owner Of the sur
face may own all the minerals and
all the oil directly under his soil but
not so under the soil Of any of his
neighbors. But inasmuch as petrol
cum lies in large underground lakes
or deposits it is impossible to de-
limit physically these underground
reservoirs in accordance with the
ownership Of the land.
1T is illogical. therefore, 10 argue
that these interests have the right to
the ownership Of these deposits Of
petroleum in the subsoil Of the nation
simply because they have made geo
logic studies and have reared great
plants to exploit The mineral re-
sources.
Mexico endeavoring to enforce the
naturalization Of the mines. has used
IN no way amy right that might i'll any
sense hurt the rights Of acquisition of
the owners Of the surface Of the soil
respecting their rights as owners.
General Trevino adds that neither
political science nor political economy
nor even Jurisprudence has been will
ing to concede the right of the natur-
al resources Of nation TO individual

come the life Of that nation This
principle Of national ownership must

ing Water District.

A large delegation Of Valley men,
including irrigation district managers,
engineers, attorneys for canal com
pahiss and city representatives, left
the Valley Sunday for Austin 70 at
tend the final hearing on the United
Irrigation Company's application for
water privileges for the Melado tract,
near Mission.
A. b. Cole Of Brownsville, attor-
ney for several Of the canal compa-
nies. said before his departure that
the Valley delegation while protest
ing against the issuance of permit
i'm this case, will seek a postponement
of the hearing in order to prepare ad-
ditional testimony. Mr.. Cole was ac-
companied by X. b. Rentfro, repre-
senting the FL Jardin tract. and by
Harbert Davenport, representing the
Brownsville Chamber Of Commerce.
II i understood that the United Ir-
rieation Company, in its application
for permit, will point out that there
is a wastage Of fifty per cent Of the
water pumped out Of the Rio
Grande due 10 scepage in canals, and
that the company has prepared its
plans for watering this tract Of about
1900 acres TO include concrete lin
ings for the main canals. for conser-
vation purposes. The company had
plans underway to expend about ST.
100000 for development purposes. it
recently announced.
The opposition TO the request Of
the company will point out that the
lands in question are located outside
Of the river ''porciones. and there
fore are outside Of the riparian rights
area. They claim that the issuance Of
the permit cf this company would set
the precedent for the inclusion Of
millions of acres Of land north OF the
present irrigated area. which would
endanger the present irrigated areas

VILLA EARNEST In
FARM ASPIRATIONS,
SAYSLOUIS BRULAY

Pancho Villa il earnest in his aspir-
ations to lead farmers life, accord
ing TO Louis Brulay Of Brownsville,
who has just returned to his home
here after trip into the state Of
Durango and other west coasupoints
in Mexico.
"One Of our dealers in Durango
sold Villa a large amount Of plows
and other farm implements and equip
ment. including two tractors" said
Mr.. Brulay. Everyone seems to
think that Villa is honestly intending
to quit the life of a bandit and will
settle down and gain his livelihood
from the ground. His wife is now en-
route to Durango from San Antonio.
where she has been living the pas.
four or five years. and will join him.
She was accompanied by some fif-
teen other women, the wives Of Villa
men.
When passed through the station
Of Bermepillo, in Durango. a few
nights ago ! opened my window and
looked out. | saw a bunch Of men
standing near the train, and in one
of them | recognized Villa. They
were just preparing to leave for his
place"
Referring to the recent election,
Mr.. Brulay said that indications were
that the day passed very quietly in
host parts of the west coast country.
He was in Torreon and Gomez Palacio
on election day, and he said he was
very much surprised to see that every
thing was going along as usual.

The flooding of the Harlingen-S San
Benito road has proven more serious
to the automobile~truek freight trans
portation lines, of which there are
several operating between Browns
vile and up-ValIey points.
Reports as to the river situation
were missing today owing to the fact
that the United States army telephone
lines between Fort Brown and Fort
Ringgold are out Of commission. Last
reports, however, indicated that the
river j. still rising, although slowly.
Louis Brulay Of Brownsville, who
has just returned from Durango and
Chihuahua, Mexico, reports that the
Rio Grande country may expect high
waters for some time owing 10 un-
precedented rains in the state of Chi
huahua. Rain has been falling in that
section, on the Rio Grande watershed,
since the first of August, and the deep
Rio Grande canyons in the Big Bend
are almost full.
