IN OUR
VALLEY
BY CHARLES HALL

them at the train.
One Of the positive statements
brought back by the members OF
this committee was to the effect
that Brownsville will get its port at
an early date Because the most
powerful man on capitol hill Is di-
rectly In favor OF, and working for,
this port" This man is mentioned
rs none other than John Garner.
Every member of the delegation re-
turned high in the praises Of Mr.
Garner for the work he has done
with the idea of giving the Valley a
deep water port.
IL was said that the first step by
the Brownsville San Benito-Point
Isabel navigation interest will be 70
get the right-of-way. and the TIPS
Of the two islands.
This is a project in which all
should be ready to Immediately CO.
operate so as to be ready BY July
/.
ITARLINGEN is to get q hearing
within a few days on her pro-
position. 1t is to be hoped that
J u can be worked out so that both
cities will have a water way. II that
is what they want. Anyway. 70 the
end that all can be happy all
around, and sectional jealousy will
become a minor detail in Valley Life.
MEMBERS OF the delegations going
W 10 washington made OF the
trip an occasion TO discuss
many matters. Judge II. L. Yates
look advantage Of the opportunity
TO get in a word on views Of the
immigration question.
What will happen to the johnson
and Box bill, one or both, Is now
a matter of conjecture. 1t is said
that a number OF California editors
who were strongly II favor Of limit
ing immigrants from Mexico. since
a trip to the Southern Republic,
have somewhat changed their views
and favor conditions much as they
have been IN the past.
TOPIEs Of resolutions passed at a
recent Weslaco meeting OF the
Valley Agricultural Workers
club on the immigration question
have been mailed to The Browns
vile Herald office.
The resolutions. too long to be
included here in full, are to the
effect that legislation to restrict
immigration would have q serious
effect in the Valley.
It Is further resolved that should
such legislation pass that special
provision should be made for the
Valley, pointing out that white Ia
Dor cannot take the place Of that Of
the Latin-American.
II was further asserted that II
the Mexican laborer should be al
lowed TO come into the Valley with.
out his passport ne would not then
proceed further north and become
q competitor OF organized labor,
which II is said in the resolution
Is the aim OF the restriction bills.
THE slow rain over the Valley to-
day may do much toward bring
ing to active life again fruit and
vegetables, which have been dam
aged by the unprecedented freezes
Of O few weeks ago.
THE best the engineer OF this COL
umn can make out OF Valley
politics these days is that
Sheriff A. x. Baker Of Edinburg
may be getting ready to make the
race for governor, and that John
Garner may again have a hot race
for his seat IN congress. II we are
any Judge Of remarks heard con-
corning Representative Garner the
Brownsville navigation district will
give him many a vote by way Of
thanks for his port activities, If
for nothing else.
MYTH delegations to the naval
W conference in London taking
the public eye in the Foggy
city, It Is said that ladies OF the
British Isles are artfully discovering
how many bachelors there are in
the American group.
In doing so. they have brought
out a technical legal point that
British women, who marry Ameri-
cans. are least for a while women
without a country. They become
siiens so far as the British gov
eminent is concerned and must
take out naturalization papers II
order to become citizens Of the
United States.
IF YOU have not yet paid you,
poll tax. why not. and when are
arc you going to do so?
There are just a few days left
to make yourself a citizen Of ths
United States OF America and OF
Texas.
ONE or the latest moves in cor
pcration forming has beer
brought TO light through the
Duke OF Norfolk. He is 81 years old
has property worth millions, anc
has formed a corporation 70 admin
lister his estate. The capital Of tn,
corporation is S250.000.
wouldn't it be awful, If you hac
SO much money you would have x
form a company 70 handle it foi
YOU. That is q burden most If u!
would like to shoulder for a few
days anyway.
