FORMER TEXAS
GOVERNOR TO.
SUCCEED NEFF.
Nomination Ends Row
Started With Oppo-
sition Encountered
By Neff Last Year

WASHINGTON, April 16.-tP)-
Oscar B. Colquitt, former governor
of Texas, and a Hoover democrat
was nominated today by President
Hoover to be a member of the rail-
road board of mediation, succeed
ing Pat Neff, also a former COVER
nor Of Texas, whose term has ex-
pired.
In naming Colquitt, the president
turned aside a recommendation
that he reappoint former Governor
Pat M. Neff, whose nomination by
President Coolidge last session met
considerable opposition.
Mr.. Neff was opposed by former
Senator Mayfield of Texas, and a
group Of labor organizations which
contended Neff was unable, on the
fact Of his record in several media
ton cases to exercise an impartial
opinion.
The senate interstate commerce
committee held lengthy hearings
on Neff'S nomination and subSe-
quently returned a favorable re-
port. The opposition, however. pre-
vented Neffs name from coming
before the senate and his nomina-
tion automatically died for lack Of
confirmation on March 4.

EXPENSEONLY
OBJECTION TO
Plan BY FOX
Heads of Brownsville
Navigation District
Say Money Needed
Provided In Bonds

Notice that report Of
Major Milo P. Fox, district
engineer at { alveston had
been made to the Chief of
Engineers in Washington on
the proposal 10 change the
channel at Brazos Pass from
Point Isabel towards and
near Brownsville, was receiv-
ed by the members of the
Brownsville Navigation Dis
trict here today and was con-
sidered by them to be very
favorable to the project.
The only objection to the location
Of the turning basin about miles
northeast of Brownsville instead OF
al, Point Isabel is the additional ex-
pense.
Members Of the local commission
point out that the project Is not
considered either impracticable or
not feasible and that in anticipation
of the additional expense the citi-
zens Of the district already have
provided to meet that objection by
providing the necessary funds with
a 100000 bond issue
z. A. RoSenthal, chairman Of the
Brownsville navigation district, dis
cussing the notice of report, said
&c h{nl1lvT =
fled at the favorable terms of the
report as indicated by the notice.
I'VE gather from this notice Of
report that there is now no ques-
ton of the feasibility and practic-
ability of the proposed Brownsville
ship channel" Mr.. Rosenthal said.
1T is also evident that the pro-
oosed Brownsville project has ad-
f7antages over the proposed Point
Isabel project. Apparently the prin-
cipal objection to the project is the
additional cost, which was antici-
pated by the Brownsville navigation
district and provides for. The voters
Of the Brownsville district answered
this objection on the 22nd Of De-
cember last by voting a $2,000,0 900
bond issue which has been validated
by the legislature Of the state Of
Texas"

FIRST STATE
PAPER READ
AT SESSION
President Also Propos-
es To Complete Leg
islation Initiated At
Former Meeting

WASHINGTON, April 16.-tP)-
President Hoover, in message OF
unusual brevity and directnesS, rec
commended to congress today the
creation of a federal farm board
with authority and resources to
remedy recurring causes Of depres-
sion in the agricultural industry and
a limited revision of the tariff with
a reorganization of the tariff COM
mission.
In addition he proposed in this,
his first state paper, the completion
of legislation initiated at the last
session for the suspension Of the ma
tional origins clause of the immigra-
ton act, the taking of the 1880 CEN
sus and the reapportionment Of
congressional representation.
Here is the full text Of Presi-
dent Hoover's message to the spe-
cial session Of congress.
To the congress of the United
States:
1 have called this special session
Of congress to redeem two pledges
given in the last election-farm re-
lief and limited changes in the
tariff.
The difficulties Of the agricul-
tural industry arise out Of a null
titude of causes. A heavy indebt-
edness was inherited by the indus
try from the deflation processes Of
1920. Disorderly and wasteful
methods of marketing have de-
veloped. The growing specializa-
ton in the industry has for years
been increasing the proportion Of
products that now leave the farm
and, in consequence, prices have
been undply depressed by congest-
ed marketing at the harvest or by
thgSpccasional climatic surpluses.
Railway rates have necessarily in
creased. There has been a growth
of competition in the world markets
from countries that enjoy cheaper
labor or more nearly virgin soils.
