republicans would have a majority,
John Garner down at Uvalde de-
clared the demos stand ready to
help Hoover bring the country back
to a more prosperous condition.
There will be non Of this bust
ness OF trying to turn the govern
ment topsy-turvy. The tariff Is not
to be flown into like a hen picking
on some one else's chickens. But
the power companies, which have a
hold on the nations vitals, will be
taken to task" the Texas veteran
declared.
Garner is a scrappy representa-
tive and If he has something up his
sleeve for the power companies and
opens fire. he will probably make
them sit up and take notice. The
Texan has long been known among
the newspaper men as the most pow
erful man on capitol hill. Garner
has often spoken out TO them when
others seemed afraid to speak. It
now looks as If President Hoover
will have a few lively sessions in
congress as his administration closes.
THE Matamoros Rotary club join

OVERHEARD a little bit of an OBJ
servation from a citizen of Mat
amoros last night, which not
only may be something to consider
a bit. but shows that We Americans
are being watched by the Mexicans
and understood.
1t went something like this:
IAN American practices in one
generation with his money what In
Mexico is practiced in three. 1t takes
ore generation in Mexico TO amass
g fortune, the second generation TO
work to save 1t, and the third to
Aspend 1t.
In America they do 1t all in one
life. A man makes his fortune when
he is young. nurses 1t TO maturity
during middle life. and spends it
when he is old" How about it?
Al PRINCE up at Mercedes is
" either one of the wonder editors
OF the country. or S the biggest
garner in ten states. He said he
wished he had a job OF writing a
column every day, after taking a
hand at II in the Valley Morning
Star. Al did very we'll that far. But
then he added 1T is so easy" Now.
Al. writing one Of these things every
day comes around more regular than
milking time did when you were a
boy and 1t gets so hard.
And even If IL were easy we who
must do it, must never pretend IL is
easy. We get paid for II you know.
and how these hard times do effect
people who make exactly the same
salary they always did, Al, you must
rot injure the price Of yours and
other editors commodity thataway.
