lets for the surplus production OF a region in which
the agricultural and mineral resources are being de-
veIoped with a rapidity never before witnessed in
the history of the American nation. Texas, New
Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas-the great
empire Of the southwest-depend upon Texas port
development to provide the avenues through which
their ever-increasing production will find outlets to
profitable markets.
w. E. Lea of Orange. Texas, has made a life study
Of Texas ports, and has been prominently identified
with development Of several, along the Texas coast
from Orange to Corpus Christi. He knows their po-
tentialities and problems; he is familiar with the va
rious sections they are designed to serve and the
part they are destined to play in the development of
southwestern resources. A man Of his qualifications
on the federal shipping board would prove an inval-
liable asset not only to the southwest but to the en-
tire country.
President Hoover has indicated that in the selec-
ton Of men for the various boards and commissions
he desires TO secure those who through years Of serv-
ice and study have familiarized themselves with the
problems and details Of the respective departments
in which they will serve. In other words, he has in
dictated a policy founded upon efficiency rather than
political expediency, and il this policy is followed out
the shipping board will be composed Of men who,
like W. E. Lea Of Orange, are fully qualified by years
Of experience to discharge the duties Of their Off
cial positions.

Sen. Joe Moore's Pet Bill

Senator Joe Moore put over a bill which creates
the Twelfth supreme judicial district and placed a
new court of appeals in Greenville, Hunt county.
Senator Moore is publisher of an important nevspa-
per and is a lawyer as well as a lawmaker.
His bill creates an appellate district composed Of
the counties Of Hunt, Fannin, Delta. Hopkins Kauf-
man. Van Zandt. Rockwell and Dallas. The county
of Dallas is also in the fifth district. being the only
county in Texas in two supreme judicial districts.
Senator Moore's measure provides for appeals TO
the Dallas court during the first six months Of each
year. That will be the procedure if the governor ap-
proves the bill.
But will he approve il? Former Senator E. 6.
Senter Of Dallas is for the disnlantling Of all the civil
courts Of appeals. He is the only Texan in the field
who is a candidate for the democratic nomination for
governor in 1880. Abolition Of all the u courts is the
platform the Dallas senator has announced to the
public and on which he will run while the running is
good.
# the veto axe falls upon the bill and beheads it
the senator from Hunt Will be disappointed. Those
who are close to the governor predict that the axe
may fall.

The international Water
Commission

One Of the most interesting announcements IN re-
cent weeks is that the American section Of the in
ternational water commission will meet at Wash
ington early in April to assemble data on the Rio
Grande, Colorado and Tia Juana. and that a joint
meeting Of the American and Mexican sections is eX-
pected to be held in late April or early May to pre-
pare a tentative draft for an American-M Mexican
treaty covering distribution of the waters of the in
ternational streams.
The Rio Grande Valley for many years has been
looking forward to the time when the treaty Of Quad
alupe Hidalgo would be succeeded by a new treaty
setting out in detail the respective rights Of the
United States and Mexico to the waters Of the Rio
Grande. 1t was with this object in view that the
American section Of the present international water
commission was created by act Of congress in 1924,
the bill being sponsored by Congressman John ~.
Garner.
The Valley has been very fortunate IN the fact
that W. E. Anderson. San Benito engineer, was made
q member Of that commission upon the unanimous
request Of Valley interests. Few men have made a
more intensive study Of the Rio Grande and the prob
lens Of the Valley in their relation to that stream
Upon him has fallen the duty Of collecting the major
portion of the data which will be considered by the
American section early in April and which will be
the basis upon which the tentative pact will be ne
gotiated between the two republics.
The Mexican section, like the American section, Is
composed of engineers who have made a study Of

will approach the many complex problems involved
with a view to arriving at a definite conclusion pred
icated upon a basis which will be eminently fair 70
the interests of both countries. 1t is one Of the few
commissions ever organized by either government In
which the political factor has been completely elml-
mated, and this fact enhances the confidence which
the border people of both cor -ries repose IN that
commission.
Ratification Of a treaty with Mexico based upon
an equitable distribution of the waters Of the inter-
national streams will assure the basis Tor addltlonsl
development of the Lower Flo Grande Valleys re-
sources through conservation Of Rio Grande waters
II Will be the foundation for development upon 2
scale such as no agricultural area IN the United
States has witnessed. It is safe to predict that nego-
tiation and ratification Of the treaty will be followed
by a conservation program that viii assure ample
water for practically every %irrigable acre on the
hover Rio Grande. eliminating a condition and prob
lem which for the past decades has been one Of the
greatest h~andiceps to Valley irrigation development.

the shipping board in New York,
and for the army and navy in
many places.
Ten years ago these things we're
unheard Of.
An example Of how far this idea
of coordination has been worked
out was afforded not so long ago.
The bureau Of fisheries found its
appropriations insufficient to pro-
vide clothing for the natives or the
Pribilof islands, who are wards of
the government in a remote part
Of Alaska now devoted to sealing
and foxing operations.
LITTLE FROM EVERYWHERE
When this fact was communicate
ed TO the chief coordinator a rep
resentative Of the bureau Of fish
cries was placed in touch with the
records Of surplus property. He was
enabled to obtain shoes from the
army, winter trousers from the ma
rine corps, coats, ~overcoats, rain
coats, blankets, comforters and
nurses dresses from the veterans
bureau; sails, oilskins, moSqito
bars and soap from the shipping
board, and medical supplies from
the public health service. All these
materials we're transferred without
funds III time to be made part Of
the annual shipment of supplies on
a ship furnished by the navy de-
partment.
This transaction, while relatively
small economically, Is significant In
the changes it indicates.
1t shows that departmental laws
have given way and that bureau
cratic perogatives have been will
ingly abandoned where the best in
t~erests of the government were in
