The Willacy District

Settlement Of the controversy which has ragged the
past six weeks between the associated water districts
of Cameron and Hidalgo counties and the Willaey
county district without recourse to court action now
appears assured. The districts have filed their pro-
tests to granting Of a permit for diversion of water
from the Rio Grande; the WiIlacy district has replied
with the assurance that none but flood waters will be
diverted, and, rs the matter now rests, 1t appears that
the districts have assured protection Of water rights
SO far as possible under existing laws.
Further assurance is expected to be obtained from
the final plans Of the Willacy district, which must be
submitted to the hoard Of water engineers for ap-
prevail. Arrangement OF the intake viii determine
whether the district can divert any Of the normal flow,
and in the event IL is so designed that only flood
waters will be diverted, it is probable that no serious
objection will be raised. Directors Of the Willacy dis
trict have given assurance that the intake would be
designed with q view Of diverting flood waters only,
in such quantities as would be required to maintain
sufficient in storage reservoirs to assure supplies for
the 129.50o acres the system Is designed to serve.
The wiIlacy district has presented a complex prob
lem There is no objection on the part Of the asso-
ciated districts to diversion Of flood waters. Those
residents Of the Valley who would not welcome de-
velopment Of the rich acres Of Willacy and eastern
Hidlaso counties under irrigation are not numerous.
They realize that those fertile lands are destined 70
prove an important factor in future wealth production
Of the lower border country.
There is only one factor involved in the controversy

provide for diversion Of flood waters only, the major
cause Of that controversy will automatically be eiimi-

The World and All
WHAT'S YOUR REMEDY,

Crime has increased vastly in the United States
since the World war. OF course, violent crime always
increases after every war, everywhere. You can't take
tne young manhood Of a nation and drill IL to shoot
and club and disembowel other young men, without
paying a penalty in increase Of violent crime. A Ger.
tain per cent Of the well-drilled young men will come
back home and kill and mutilate private enemies in.
stead Of saving these attentions for the public enc.
mics whom one is duly authorized TO kill.
SO a part Of this increase in violent crime Is easy
to understand.
But the thing that is not quite 50 easy to compre-
bend j. why there is more crime in the United States
Of America than in other civilized countries.
II. A~ddington Bruce. writing in the February Cen
fury, points out that four times as many criminals
are now in prison in New York state as in the whole
Of England. Also, that ten times a. many automobiles
are stolen in Cleveland as in London, which Is about
ten times the size OF Cleveland.
There are several ways Of looking at these figures
One reason why we might be expected to have more
persons in prison than England. for instance, is that
we imprison people for acts that are. not ~offenses
against the law at all in England. It i not against
the law in England to sell and manufacture liquor
while In some Of the American states one may 20 70
prison for life. under certain circumstances, for pos
sessing even the smallest imaginable quantity OF
of liquor.
Then, too, while London is much larger than Cleve-
land, Clevelanders probably own more cars than Lon
doners.
But even such considerations and allowances do
not explain all OF the difference.
! remember comparing the homicide figures OF Lon
don with those Of a Kansas town, more than 80 per
cent American born Of American born parents, where
| once lived. Although the Kansas town was less than
a hundred thousand in population, its annual murder
toll was twice that or London for several years.
In that particular case, I knew that unbeautifu
local politics which offered sanctuary TO certain kinds
OF criminals, was responsible for more Of the crimes 81
violence. How much does crooked political manipula-
Non Of American city governments have to do with
the crime situation in this country II would be in
teresting 70 have an intelligent study Of this question
And what are we going to do about il?
