Mixed Car Freight Rates

Fverv .ection az the Lower Rio Grande Valley Is in
terested in the fight inaugurated by the Valley ship
pers, cooperating with the statewide rate committee
Valley rate men and South Texas Chamber OF CON-
rerce, to establish freight rates on mixed cars Of veg
etables upon an equitable basis.
Undxr existing tariffs, rates on mixed cars are es-
.ahlisbed upon the basis Of that commodity in the car
taking the highest rate. In other words, the rate on
potatoes to Chicago is 50 cents. cabbage 81 cents and
practically all other vegetables 1923. Cabbage or po-
tatoe. in a mixed car would take the same rate as the
hans. carrots or other vegetables includd in tn mix
ture.
The proposal advanced by the statewide committee
is that each commodity in a mixed car carry It's indl-
v,dual rate. a proposal eminensly fair TO all concerned.
II would assure the carriers q fair return and the
rate would not penalize the shipper who opens a small
r,srkt for commodities bearing a low rate.
In recent years the Lower Rio Grande Valley
.hinpers have developed a large mixed car business
vegetable shipments last year n mixed cars sggresating
r.arIv ao per cent Of the total. Approximately the
same percentage has been maintained TINS year bus
doubtless will Increase later in the season. That the
carriers have profited by reason Of the development
Of this business is obvious, and it would be to their
sAterest to cooperate IN a move which "Hl asSui
further development.
The advantage Of the mixed car lies in che fact that
rrac.icaIIv all such shipments go into the smaller mar
tets. markets which cannot handle straight cars profit
ahlv. In four years the mixed car business OF the
Valley has been developed, and hundreds Of small
markets now receiving Valley products by the carload
are not compelled to pay high express and handling
charges. As a result the vegetables are retailod al
very reasonable prices and the demand and consnmp-
tion stimulatd.
Under the present tariffs, shippers Of mixed cars
are penalized If they add to ther mixture either OF the
,uo commodities which form the bulk Of Valley ship
ments-cabbage and potatoes. There are hundreds OF
.nall markets which can easily consume a few tons
Of cabbage or a small quantity Of potatoes but could
mot handle straight cars Of these commodities. just
WHY the shipper and consumer should be penaiized IN
supnIvinr these small markets is not clear.
DEVELOPMENT OF the vegetable industry in the Valley
dsrends 10 no small extent upon the mixed car bust
mass and the development Of small markets. The lower
tho price 70 the consumer the greater the demand, ana
10 A. would be possible to place the major commodities
IL these markets at the same rate as in those markets
taking straight cars il would prove Of material advan-
tase in creating a greater demand and more profits for
crowers. shippers and carers.
The Valley should extend all possible cooperation
g. those who have inaugurated this effort 70 expand
valley markets and assure greater prosperity for all
Valley interests.

What does Representative Black consider to be the

that the constitution be amended to exclude aliens from
the population census in reapportiOning congressional

The Health Unit

The Cameron county health unit will be main
tanned another year. was the decision Of the commits
sioners' court, which recently passed the appropria.
tion covering the county's part Of the maintenance cost.
Brownsville, San Benito and Harrington have eaca
assured cooperation and made the necessary appro-
priations, and assurance has been received from the
state health department. that the Cameron unit will
receive $3.50 from that source. this being one Of the
few units in Texas to receive state aid.
The budget accepted by the commissioners court
carries a five per cent salary increase for the entire
prsOnnel Of the unit, an increase richly merited. The
total cost of the unit for the year will be s1syseo, a
third nurse being added to serve the H~arlingen terri
tory.
The value Of the health unit has been clearly proved
in recent years. Cameron, a border county, cannot af-
ford to relax vigilance in health matters, and the rec
ord Of the past three years in which there has been no
general outbreak of contagious disease. is an index TO
the vigilance and efficiency of the county health unit
and the U. S. health service. These organizations work
IN perfect harmony in protecting the border against
infectious disease, the unit also serving as the health
agency for all rural communities as we'll as for the
cities and towns. The fact that the state is contrib
uting literally for maintenance of the unit Indicates
that the state health officers are fully cogni4 1t Of
the necessity of protecting the border, and that ne ap'
preparation for the Cameron county health uait may
be regarded as benefitting the entire state.
The action OF the commissioners court and the
various city commissions will receive the approval Of
practically all taxpayers. They realize that safeguard
inr public health is one Of the best inpestments that
can be made, and the work the health unit has &C
compIished has created public confidence in that or
yanization and n desire TO extend full cooperation in
assuring maximum efficiency in its efforts.
