Russ Delegation is
Staggered by Demand
For Sweeping Changes
(By The Associated Press


GENOA. April II. - The Russian SOW
let delegation TO the economic confer
ence is staggered and amazed at the
sweeping political changes in the soviet
government suggested in the report Of
the allied experts on Russia now before
the subcommission formulating plans for
Russian reconstruction.
Demands were embodied in the repor:
for q general recognition OF the rights
of personal property and better pro
lection for foreigners and contemplate
changes in the soviet government which
would in the opinion Of the Russian
delegation, as expressed today, wipe out
communism utterly and impair the SOW
ereignity of the Russian government.
GENOA. April 12-Chitchcrin, head
of ihe Russian delegation, has asked
Schanzer Of the Italian delegation for an
exact Interpretation Of several points in
the plan for the restoration of Russia.

cial questions prepared by the Germans
and presented to Premier Faota. chair

URGES VALLEYITES
TO GET BUSY. ABOUT
GRAVITY CANAL BILL

10 Inc herald:
The house committee on irrigation re-
ported out favoraby the Smith bill, 9TH
erwise known as the cooperative recia
nation act. On April 3 the senate COM
mittee on arid lands had previously re-
ported out the bill in the senate. Thi:
means. for the first time, the bill il be-
fore both branches of congress, support
ed by the unanimous vote Of both COM
mittees The passage Of this measure
will practically make certain the build
ing Of the gravity canal in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley.
Whether or not the bill passes will
probably depend upon the attitude which
Is taken by Tc,as congressman. No
southern or western state is as strong
in the house a Texas. Our own con-
gressman, Mr.. John y. Garner. is ono
Of the most influential members of the
democratic side. The fate of this meas
ure will undoubtedly depend upon what
attitude Texas takes. If Texas congress-
men. lead by our own congressman. Mr.
Garner. get actively behind this meas
ure. those familiar with the situation in
Washington declare that the measure
will pass the house. That il will pass
the senate Is taken for granted.
Every citizen Of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley who can exert any Influence upon
Texas congressman is called upon TO do
everything in his power to secure that
congressman's vote. Our own Mr.. Gar
ncr has definitely committed himself to
the measure. With your assistance he
can doubtless secure the active co-ope-
ration Of every Texas congressman. Give
him your help. c. ii. PEASE.

cd at the request of Governor Hyde.

tiles and corrections. The son has
been serving as superintendent of
county institutions for the board
since last summer. His new salary

moval OF Wagner as secretary was
the first time that a governor has in

Farmers Hit Hard.

Jefferson City--A clear-cut case of
how the high taxes Of the Hyde adj

1000 bushels a. corn which was as
sessed at $4,000. The State Board of
Equalization increased the assess
ment to $1,000 and when the taxes
were paid on this valuation in Deem
her the corn was worth 5000.
