the board OF control. Mr.. Walthall
now Is at work surveying the budget
needs or all state institutions.
The educational budget. nearly
! one-half Of which viii be for Texas

clude no buildings for A. & NJ. col

il include any dN-mitories. The
urgently-needed buildings will be

There is serious overcrowdiny Of

Feeble Minded School
The worst condition Of all exists
in the state school for feehle-mind-

This school. with 100 pupils, has

Mr.. Walthall's view.
The state epilertic colony near
Abilene has more than $50 patients

is provided for in present appro-
priations. for construction this year,
but 10 will take care of but few of

Mexico Resents Restriction
As Proposed at Washington

the proposed law restricting Mex
lean immigration to the United
States will be highly injurious TO
Mexico's interest, and will not
benefit the Nnited States. The
proposed new law, incidentally. is
being bitterly denounced in Mexico.
the larger Mexico City newspapers
holding the bill a slap Of gigantic
proportions at this republic.
Meanwhile it Is the belief in well
informed circles that if the measure
becomes a law. Mexico will formul-
ate a law restricting United States
immigration here. Past reciprocal
action on the part Of Mexico gos
20 slbsLanti2te this report.
DR.. Gamio cites the fact tina
American and Mexican figures on
Mexican migration to the UnitsI
States do not coincide. While
1me-lcan statistics show that Me-.
cars returning to their nativc
country number only in the hum
dred thousands in the years be-
tween 1910 and 1923, Mexican
figures show that there were more
than a million reentries during
that time. Just as in the United
States the Mexican entrant has
been more accurately registered by
American officials. in Mexico the
returning Mexican has been more
carefully counted, said DR.. Gamio.
The Mexican scientist also point
"a to the fact that the popular
American belief that the Mexican
population Of the United State
has been enormously increasing Is
not based on facts. The large
majority Of Mexicans who fine.
jobs IN the United States are
transient workers who return &c
Mexico at the end Of seasonal de-
mands for labor. DR.. Gamio said.
MORE
DR.. Gamio believes such period
ical trips to the United States BY
Mexican laborers are beneficial
from an economic standpoint u
Mexico because IN this way modern
methods heretofore unknown ir
this republic are being brought
here. Mexico, said DR.. Gamio. ha
long been trying TO solve her in
creasingly difficult unemployment
problem at home. since this would
be to her advantage. "Stay-at-
home" campaigns for Mexican
poems have been conducted for
ON time.
Commenting on the Harris-Box
measure FL Universal said It would
be a bitter humiliation for Mexico.
The Mexico City newspaper added
that this would be an expression
by the United States Of its belief in
racial superiority over Mexico.
Then the editorialist bitterly con-
cludes that even the Americans
who are obiecting to the restric-
ton measure are doing 80 only be-
cause they benefit from the cheap
Mexican labor.
The bill has been a topic Of
conversation IN Mexico for some
time. and recent Washington dis
patches predicting passage Of the
measure has brought the subject
almost on a par with the Sidar
crash as far as street conversation
in Mexico City is concerned Amer
leans living In Mexico CITY are
constantly being asked their
opinion. and many have gone to
the American consulate general
here. asking the exact status Of
the measure.

Probably no woman In America has
any more unusual claim to distinc-
ton than Miss Marie Cronin.
To begin with, she is an artist
whose paintings have Won honors
in Paris salons.
Then-as If that were not enough
she IS also president Of q rail-

muddy street in the little Texas
town Of Bartlett houses her activ-
tiles in both fields.
On the first floor are the gen.
eral offices of the Bartlett western
Railroad-her railroad. There, as
president Of the line, she conducts
her business.
Upstairs Is an art workshop. There
hang the paintings she brought
back from Paris-paintings that
we're given space on the walls Of
the Paris Salon of the Societe
Rationale. des Beaux Arts. Every
day she slips up there to paint,
letting the railroad be forgotten for
a time.
The railroad is IS miles long,
stretching across the blackland cot
ton belt Of central Texas from
Bartlett TO Florence. It's equipment
consists Of five motor cars two OF
which have locomotive attachment,
81 flat cars and 10 box cars. IL used
to run steam engines. but the
cheaper gasoline motor cars replaced
them several years ago.
