Measure Introduced
In Senate, Is Rushed
Through Both Houses
(By The Associated Press)

AUSTIN, Texas, March 5.-Cameron county
won its fight for tax remission today when the
house advanced on the calendar the Parr bill and
finally passed it By vote of 81 to 81. Several
members were open in their declaration that they
"felt change Of heart since visiting the terri
tory last week as guests of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley. The bill now goes to the governor
protest was voiced when Representative
Faulk of Brownsville moved to suspend the rules
and advance the bill, but his motion carried sc
to Is. Representative Gray, who did not go on
the inspection tour declared he was still against
the bill, and said eff any Of you gentlemen have
a change of heart want to know why"

be made impossible by the enactment
of general law committing the State
to the policy of fostering by means of
tax remission all re lamation and
conservation projects comparable with
this flood prevention project in Cam
elon County. Certainly the State
could, without any embarrassment to
it's fiscal affairs. remit taxes to an
amount which would give communi-
ties a very definite encouragement to
exploit opportunities that offer for
storing flood waters and for pre-
venting overflows. 1t is a policy
which would be economically profit
able to the people of Texas and finan-
cially profitable to their State Gov.

imperative that Cameron County do
likewise as a measure OF self defense.
After giving his Endorsement to
this proposal, Mr.. Ferguson went on
to speak of the difficulties that con-

when they are asked to remit taxes.

gave as his reason for favoring the
tax remission proposal the fact that
the State would recover from ncreas-

amount of revenue it would deprive
itself of during the intervening years.
1t commended itself to him as a
business proposition. and so it must

Nevertheless. there is an additional
reason, moral in kind. why the State
should do this, 1t comes from, the

SENATE Tense
AT FIST MEET
HELDBY DAWES
Vice President Criticized
for Manner of Induc-
ton of New Members
Into Body Yesterday
(By The Associated Fress.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 5.-Vice
President Dawes took on the senate to-
day in first and inconclusive fifteen
minute round surcharged with the cleo
tricity of eager expectancy.
There was an explosion or two over
the manner in which the new presiding
officer had cut corners at the expense
of time honored senate customs upon
his Inauguration yesterday but when a
recess was taken until later in the af
ternoon the row had not yet reached an
acute stage.
Throughout the quarter session Mr..
Dawes himself kept perfectly quiet, ex-
cept when, in low voice that scarcely
reached the far corners of the chamber
he put two perfunctory motions and an
nounced the result.
During tho short time he was in the
chair, however, the vice president was
the target of a sharp criticism for his
manner of cutting short the swearing
in of new senators yesterday, delivered
by Senator Ashurst, democrat, Arizona
who emphasized his speech by shaking
fore finger at the chair. Mr.. Dawes
heard Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri
demand that the official record of what
was done yesterday be examined again by
the senate, and listened to an explanation
by Senator Hale, republican, Maine, whc
took upon himself all blame for the vice
presidents failure to return to the
chamber yesterday after he had witness
ed the Inauguration of President Cool
idge.
Dawes Quiet
Crowded galleries ,and an unusual
number of senator's, attracted by the
prospect of a row, watched the pro-
ceedings in an atmosphere so tense that
the quiet was oppressive. At the end
there was universal sigh of relief that
the impact had been no worse but SEN
ators, gathering in little knots to talk
it over after the recess was taken, seem
ed certain there was more to come
The vice president himself looked on
during the session with an inscrutible
countenance and declined to comment
on it afterwards.
The clerk had started to read the
journal of yesterdays proceedings, and
