Restricted immigration Is
Feared by Every City
I'm Valley

Every chamber Of commerce In
the Valley Is sending q letter 70 J..
r. Canales, now In Washington
fighting the johnson and Box bills,
authorizing the local attorney to act
for the different towns in this Sec
ton.
THE passage Of either the Box
7r johnson bills will mean the death
blow to the Valley" the letter says
in part. 1T would mean death TO
the agricultural interests. Regard
less Of labor conditions in the Unit
ed States. we know that the Mexican
people are the only ones who will
do the work so necessary for the
future development Of the Valley,
for other types have been tried and
found wanting. 1t Is not so much a
question Of pay. but OF their being
able to work without question. and
to follow instructions and commands
without argument"
The letter also states that Judge
Canales "a s the letters as his
authority to represent this entire
section in his fight.
The immigration problem In the
Rio Grande Valley has become acute
recently, and the result OF Judge
Canales' trip to washington Is being
awaited with interest.

HEADLIGHTS
MISERABLE

we do not wish to be hard boil
ed but the miserable condition Of
automobile headlights in Cameron
county has forced us to take steps
toward clearing up the situation"
Sheriff Frank Brown stated Fri
day. Tickets are being handed
everyone caught operating on the
highways with defective lights.
Outlying justice OF the peace Of
fees have been doing a rush bus
mess the past few days p~lastering
fines on the offenders.
Motorists should cooperate in
cleaning up this condition. We do
not want the fines. We want the
lights fixed" Sheriff Brown de-
clared.
AL headlights must be tested be-
fore new license plates will be
granted. BY having their lights fix
ed now. motorists can prepare them
selves for plates as well as avoid
tickets. the sheriff said.
Motorists can buy license plates
and have their head lights tested
with the amount OF money a fine
costs them" he concluded.

was only fair. the opinion vas eX-

LESS RED TAPE
Officials Would Aid All
Mexico Tourists

An attempt win be made to
eliminate the red tape" necessary
for tourists to enter Mexico on
visits, 1t was said by officials.
Leopoldo r. Verdugo, MatamoFos
chief OF customs, wrote head
quarters in Mexico City Thursday
requesting that the Matamoros port
of entry be handled In the same
manner as the Laredo port.
At present, tourists desiring to
tour northern Mexico may obtain a
passport al the local chamber Of
commerce, but bonding of cars
necessitates delay and the payment
of a fairly large bond. At Laredo,
tourists may obtain bonds and
passports at a very nominal sum
and without the bothersome red
tape"
An answer TO the letter Is ex-
pected early next week.
The completion Of the interna-
tional highway now under cons
truction will draw many American
tourists here, and an even larger
percentage may be expected II
tourists are aided in crossing into
Mexico easily.
