VALLEY WILL
ENTER TOMATO
TARIFF FIGHT
w. E. Mel avitt and j.
E. Bell to Represent
Section at Hearing in
Washington June rs

NSpeCAal 10 1ne aeraldl
SAN BENITO, June 19.-W. Z. Nc
Davitt of Brownsville pioneer Valley
shipper, and j. Z. Bell, manager Of
the San Benito Chamber Of Com
merce, Will leave Thursday of this
week for Washington, ID. c., TO plead
the u Of the Valley in the hear
ing before the tariff commission on
the question Of levying q tariff on
Mexico and Cuban tomatoes.
This decision was reached at a
meeting Of Valley shippers, in the
chamber OF commerce office here
Monday afternoon.
The meeting was called by Mr.. Bell,
who is chairman Of the tariff com
mittee in the Valley, and was attend
ed by shippers from all sections Of
the Valley. Mr.. Bell presided ut the
meeting.
The imperative need Of such a
tariff was brought out in the dis
cussions, and shippers present who
had already given to the fund to send
a delegate TO Washington decided to
double their contributions in order
to send two, Mr.. Bell being sent to
represent the chambers Of commerce,
and Mr.. McDavitt representing the
shippers.
The Valley men will 60 to Wash
ington armed with a petition bearing
the names Of some 10000 Valley
people, asking the tariff commission
to ave the tomato industry In this
section by levying a tariff on Mex
lean tomatoes.
This tariff sets forth the points
that the Valley has spent millions of
dollars in improving the country, IN
order to produce such crops as it can
grow. These expenditures include
costly irrigation and drainage sys-
tens. The Valley has spent millions
in developments Of other kinds, based
on the belief that crops would sup
port such developments.
In order to produce crops in this
section, Valley people are under a
heavier expense. The petition sets
forth that the Valley could meet the
ruinous competition Of Mexico only
by sacrificing such developments, and
attempting TO produce with no in
vestment.
The hearing before the tariff COM
mission i set for June IS.
The Valley Is to be aided by a
large delegation of Florida residents.
and il is considered likely that a
number OF persons from other South
ern states will be on hand. Mr.. Bell
has been in communication with Of
ficials OF the Florida Chamber Of
Commerce. who have pointed out the
work that they are doing for the
tariff.
fit is simply q question Of the flu
ture Of the tomato industry in the
Valley" one shipper said. IF we do
not get the tariff we stand a
chance OF being forced out Of this
industry. which is now bringing the
Valley large returns-except when
the Mexican tomatoes are on the
market at the same time"

dockesed for an early hearing.
THE only thing / did, DR.. Nc
Donough says, was TO stick an OLD
auto traffic violation tag on the
chiefs car while it was parked i'm
properly at the northeast corner OF
Eleventh and Broad streets. (oppo-
site police headquarters). ! did it as
q joke, but some saw me and
reported the matter to Major Jordan,
who had me arrested.
McDonough Blames Politics
~ suppose the fact that l worked
hard for George Ainslie, for mayor,
in the recent democratic primary
may have something 10 do with the
episode" DR.. McDonough adds.
Chief Jordan was appointed by the
present city administration, Of which
DR.. John Fulmer Bright, returned as
mayor over Ainslie, his unsuccessful
opponent, is the head. Three detec-
tive ~sergeants who had been on the
police force for twenty years, and
who had been active in Ainslie's be-
half. were reduced to the ranks of
patrolmsn, with reduced pay, and
subsequently resigned. According TO
the Ainslie folk, several members Of
the Richmond Fire Department who
worked hard for Ainslie we sum-
marily dismissed from the service and
Roy Dudley. Jr., member of the city
library board, also an ardent Ainslie
hacker. refused to resign when his
resignation was requested by Mayor
Bright.
At the height Of the excitement,
DR.. McDonough declared:
"a high city official, whose name
I prefer not to disclose, came to me
and tried to have the matter dropped.
but I refused. ! know nothing can
be done to me for what I did. for ]

RICHMOND, Va, June 19.-Rich-
mond has been enjoying a bit OF po-
litical comedy.
Observing the auto Of Police Chief
Robert B. Jordan parked in a re-
stricted zone, DR.. James Patrick Nc
Donough, prominent veterinarian and
former justice Of the peace, tagged
the car.
The results were not as expected,
however, for the chief, who couldn't
see the Joke, had two warrants sworn
out against McDonough, charging
him with impersonating an officer
and disorderly conduct.
McDonough retaliated by swearing
out a warrant against the chief Che
wasn't joking this time), charging
the head OF the police department
with violation of q city ordinance
which forbids the parking OF any
automobiles less than twenty feet
from the intersection Of street curb
lines.
ConsuIts Legal Authorities
Before taking this summary action,
McDonough consulted City Attorney
James E. Cannon, who ruled that the
fact that an auto belonged TO the
police chief did not exempt il from
the state law on the subject. Nc
Donough also sought the advice Of
James NJ. Hayes, Jr., state motor
vehicle commissioner, who held that
the state law forbade the parking Of
any vehicle less than twenty feet Of
intersecting curb lines.
The warrant on Chief Jordon was

A Statement to the Public by L. w. Baldwin, President of the
MISSOURI PACIFIC LINES
Railroading Has Been
Revolutionized!

/ has been taking place in the business of providing the
people of the United States with the best railroad trans
portation service in the history of the world. If the rail-
roads were being operated today as they were less than
10 years ago, this country would be in the throes Of the
greatest economic disorder ever recorded. The explana-
ton of what has happened should be known by everyone.
First, and most important, Of course, is the new order
of affairs under which those responsible for the manage
ment of great institutions like railroads and their armies
OF workers have set about aggressively to provide a max
inum amount of the best service the traffic Will justify.
And, along with this, one Of the most helpful things has
been the better understanding between the public and the
railroads, due in large measure to the policy Of the rail-
roads of trying to keep the public posted regarding all the
facts about the transportation business.
Improvement Of the physical plant Of the railroads
has been carried far beyond the realization Of most per-
ssons. Since 1911 the miles Of track operated have in
creased $1,000 miles or from $4,000 to 100000 miles.
The increase since 1921 has been only Il, 500 miles, but in
that latter period there has been invested in the railways
for additional equipment, additional other trackage,
heavier rail, additional shops and other facilities and for
other Improvements $3,996,442,752.
The average tractive power OF each locomotive in
service on the American railways has increased in the last
IS years 4S per cent, and since 1921 the increase has been
Is per cent, while the total tractive power Of all 1ocomo-
tives in service has increased 90 per cent since 1911 and IS
per cent in the last ) years.
The number Of freight cars has increased II per cent
in Is years, but the average capacity has increased % per
cent, and the total carrying capacity has increased s. per
cent, and Approximately one-third Of this has been effect
ed IN the last five years.
The money invested in railway property in the
United States has increased SO per cent since 1911, and
approximately 20 per cent of that increase has been made
in the last five years.
In this connection it is interesting to note that the net
capitalization OF all railways at the close of 1926 amount
&c to only SIS, l90,513,329, divided $6,8S5,47, 1876 capital
stock and S11 ,~3O5,O76,143 Of funded debt, while the re-
placement value is approximately twice that sum-.

Helpful Hints

Rub a felt hat well with warm
fuiler's earth and then brush. A
solled velour hat should first be
beaten with a small wooden cane
Then hot bran should he rubbed Ia.
using fresh bran as Il gets dirty.
Give a final beating with a cane.
When using cocoa in place Of choc-
oiate in baking cakes. etc, dissolve
cocoa In hot water and let cool be-
fore adding 10 batter. -Four table
spoonfuls OF cocoa are equal to two
Quare OF chocolate. Cocoa used
this way gives the cake a better
chocolate color and does not make
IL dry.
