AUSTIN, Aug. 23.- t1 Three
suits. alleging operation Of motor

airy injunction was set for Sept. o
These suits have growh but ~ the
bus war in the Valley. which came
to a head with the recent visit OF
high officials of the Missouri Pa
cific Transportation company to
this section. The NJ. p. officials laid
down a barrage of charges against
alleged wildcat" bus line opera
tors. They said that the M. p. sys-
tenn was operating at loss in the
Valley due to "wild-catting.
AS explained by the officials. ex-
bus drivers have purchased cars and
gone into the business independent
ly. They operate on regular Sched-
ules. keeping several minutes ahead
of the regular M. p. bus and cut
ting fares, it is charged. This has
resulted in a heavy drain from their
revenues, 1t was said.
There has been considerable fric-
ton between the bus drivers and
tn company since 1t was taken
over by the NJ. p. Some of these
quit and entered the business in
dependently, it is said.
The legislature recently enacted
measures regulating common car
riers which makes 1t mandatory
that the buses obtain certificates
from the state and that they in
sure their load. This measure was
aimed directly at the wildcat"
bus and freight lines. 1t In believed.
1t is on this measure that the bus
lines are seeking injunctions to halt
the three drivers mentioned in the
above suits.

Says Irrigation and Trans
portation Solution of
Valley Problems

Water for irrigation and deep
water for transportation will solve
the major problems Of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley" was the state
ment of Congressman John T. Gar
ner. minority leader Of the house,
who arrived in Brownsville Thurs
day night and is spending the day
In the city.
MY ambition Is to secure conser-
vation OF Rio Grande waters to as
sure ample supplies for the irriga-
ton Of the fertile acreage Of the
Valley, and to secure deep water for
the transportation Of Valley prod
ucts," the congressman said. "On
each visit to this section / am more
forcibly impressed with the necessi-
ty of making provisions FOR the
wonderful development of which
the Valley Is capable. and conserva-
ton of Rio Grande waters and wa
ter transportation are prime factors
in that future development"
Tariff Measure Wrong
Commenting on the pending tar
iff measure, the congressman pro-
nounced 1t "indefensible." stating
that in no way did 1t serve agricul-
ture.
Congress was called in special
session for -the purpose OF relieving
the Depressed condition of agricul-
ture," be baid. The president call
ed for enactment of a tariff bill de-
signed to equalize the benefits OF
protection-to place agriculture
upon the same plane as industry
This bill fails to do that. A few
agricultural commodities have been
granted increases. but the major in
creaseS have been rendered industry.
AS the bill now stands 1t gives to
manufacturers greater measure Of
protection than ever before. 1t will
place an almost unbearable burden
upon every farmer in the United
States"
The congressman. who was ac-
companied by Harry l.. Sexton, mi
nority clerk OF the house. left
Uvalde Monday. and will cover the
major part Of the Fifteenth district
before returning, spending two OF
three days In the Valley counties
