Dividends From Better
TRANSPORTATION

Tie benefits which will accrue TO Cameron coun-
ty as q result Of the feeder road program and the
Southern Pacific and Spiderweb extensions in the
county are already becoming manifest.
In the past two weeks announcement has been
made that approximately 1000 acres of highly fertile
land tributary to the new rail extensions and the
paved feeder roads will be brought under irrigation as
soon as the canal systems can be completed, and indi-
cations are that this acreage will be quadrupled be-
fore the next tax rolls are made UP.
Every acre Of this land has heretofore been car
ried on the tax rolls as unimproved lands with a very
low valuation. Next year it will be carried as i'm
proved irrigated lands which have the advantage Of
paved highways and excellent railroad facilities, and
il will rank with the high valuation lands Of the coun-
~.
This is merely the beginning. There are many
thousands Of acres Of extremely fertile lands which
the Cameron county paving and road improvement pro-
gram will bring under intensive cultivation within
two or three years. These lands, because Of their
isolation from markets. have heretofore had low val
uations. The highways and railroad extensions will
give them the same facilities the highest valuation
lands Of the county possess. They viii eventually 60
upon the Cameron county tax rolls at the same valua-
ton as those lands which heretofore have carried the
heavy burden OF taxes and will become an asset to the
county instead of q liability.
Practically all paving completed under the feeder
road program has been through irrigated lands, and
is being followed by more intensive development OF
those areas. In addition TO promoting this Intensive
development the paved highways provide a highway
base for the development Of the unirrigated sections,
raost Of which can be brought under irrigation through
extension Of present systems, by installation Of new
systems, or utilization Of the surplus waters Of the
Rio Graade. The dirt road program undertaken by
the county in connection with its paving program is
providing excellent connections for these unirrigated
sreas, and the results are already apparent in de-
elouments now underway or announced.
AS a direct result Of the ~s6,00o,0Oo bond issue
thosa Cameron county lands which have for years
horne the heavy part of the tax burden will probably
be called upon to pay some additional taxes next year,
but IL il very probable that by 1929 the added valaa-
tons will permit the reduction Of the county tax rate
to the present basis with indications that it will be
reduced year after year ss those lands which are now

vertised American. I have seen and heard both Mary
and Aimee Semple Mcpherson IN action, at close
range, and ] believe that the two are so much alike
that either could have succeeded equally well in the

/ believe that the greatest cultural need Of this

and related need is development OF inland and coastal
waterways for transportation.
l believe that no detective ever solved a crime
mystery. that no bandit ever was clever, that there are
no master minds in the underworld, and that no
crooks wife ever stood by him through thick and thin.
l believe that the young people Of today do less
lying and less getting of mates under false pretenses
than the young people Of other days, and that the
wartime f~lappers are blossoming out as very compe-
tent mothers.

both men Of considerable personal charm. behind the

] believe that there is no very Widespread and
general interest in good music in this country. and
that the talking machine companies are largely re-

almost worthless from q tax standpoint are brought
under development and add their valuations TO the
rapidly increasing wealth of the county. That the de-
v~elopment of these lands will be rapid is indicated by
the action being taken by landowners in the unde-
veloped sections who are making all possible efforts
to bring their lands under irrigation and intensive
cultivation.
Present Indications are that Cameron eounty's in
vestment in better transportation will be paying huge
dividends before the end Of 1928, and that within two
or three years, as the direct result Of the ~$6,0O0,00O
bond issue, the actual valuations of the county will
show an increase which will reduce the tax rate on the
older developments to a point considerably lower than
it was before the bond issue was voted.

The policy is a sweeping one, but hesitating half-meas-

serve only to aggravate the situation. In the present
visit I hope to get information and make certain ar
