MEXICANS MOVING
TO PICK COTTON

LAREDO, Tex, July 29.-P-
Hundreds Of Mexican families are
moving to the cotton fields in the
coastal and Lower Rio Grande Val
ley where heavy yields of the fleecy
staple are ready for harvesting.
These families have taken every
precaution against being molested
and detained by immigration au-
thoritieS. They are armed with
birth certificates, baptismal rec
ords, marriage records, etc, while
those who have been residents OF
the border section many years have
cards Of Identification that will
convince the immigration authori-
ties that they are not violators of
the immigration regulations.
The exodus of the Mexican fam
lilies to the cotton field has caused
a dearth of domestic help in MANY
Laredo households. Good prices are
offered for cotton pickers, and La
redo housewives are doing their
part to retain their help.

WATER POWER TO
 LEAVE POLITICS
Commission Recommends BuSi- ness Leadership for Resources

New York, Oct A UP) - Recommendation that New York states water power problem be re- moved entirely from politics and placed in the hands of unbiased business interests" is made in a re- port by the committee of 25, ap- pointed last April by the statewide economic congress to consider in dustrial and economic problems of the commonwealth.
 Holding that the water power development question has been a football for political parties and utility companies for many years, the committee takes the position that it is business problem which business alone must solve.
 "Water power development is primarily an economic question" ." the report said in part. "The issues should be framed neither by can- didates for public office nor by the companies engaged in furnishing power.
 They should be framed and pre- sented 10 the public by the busi- ness leadership of the state" The report continues by saying that a committee on power will be i appointed which will include nc person interested directly or indi- rectly in the production or distri- button of power, to study the prob lem in all it's phases and to recon. mend a course of action for the state to follow.

Bribery Open Scandal Under Grant-Nobody Ever Punished
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

MIA tocl NlCe WIlltF
 Washington, Oct 24.- Lobbyists in the Grant administrations were often able to recruit the aid of the president himself in furthering their schemes for public plunder. These lobbyists did not hesitate to attempt to bribe the speaker of the House or to offer the vice president a prosperous corporation job to count on after his term expired.
 It seemed as if nearly every one in public life were selling out to the highest bidders and those who protested the general Nractice were subject to ostracism and po- litica' attack. Cabinet members, senators, congressman and innu- merablc lesser officials were the lobbyists willing prey. Bribery was used even to obtain passage of the $7,0OO,00O Alaska Purchase bill.
 The railroads maintained the most effective Hobbies. A correspondent suggested that Congress adjourn permanently, leaving the placard on the door: 'The business Of this establishment will be done hereafter in the office of the Pennsylvania Railroad"
