IN OUR
VALLEY

ONE more day and the Valley goes
to the polls with the remainder
Of the United States TO vote on
Qts representatives and on proposed
amendments.
" Because 1880 is declared an off
year in politics Is all the more reas-
on voters of Cameron county should
flock to the polls. In the last eiec-
ton Cameron county was the banner
county voting for Ross Sterling for
governor. Let's turn out in full
force and do II again Then as
long as Mr.. Sterling is governor he
will carry a kindly feeling in his
bosom for Cameron county and the
Valley.
He Is going to be elected anyway.
So let's make 1t unanimous.
IT has been the custom Of Texans
heretofore to defeat amend
ments to the constitution. This
time amendments are being offer
ed, which "a be Fundamentally
recommended. Vote them. If you
are not familiar with them and look
at them for the first time on the
ballot, 1t might be well to remember
that many outstanding thinkers Of
Texas. backed by labor journals and
representative spokesmer. or organs
OF various other organizations re-
commend their passage.
Three OF these seem to deserve
unanimous support. These are.
that which provides special sessions
whenever the governor See fit to
call them and the per diem Of the
legislature SD. Second Is the pro-
rosal to tax university land, and
third that affecting the supreme
court 70 provide for continuous ses-
sions.
Texas is moving fast and its courts
and legislature should be oiled to
meet the demands. And 1t is moth
ing but fair that the university with
its rich oil holdings in West Texas
should help carry the expense as
individuals carry their share.
THIS morning at Q o'clock Harlin-
gen will be bombed" from the
air. The bombs will be buds
containing free passes to airplane
rides to be given at the municipal
airport.
We would like to write a longer
story about 1t, but there are some
who would take it that we meant
that the city was really going TO
get bombed and that everybody In
Harrington was mad about a bit Of
righteousness. If we did not feel
friendly toward H~arlingen we would
never have anything at all to say.
VITHICH reminds US that We can
w and do write sometimes about
Arkansas.
Wonder how many remember a
bill that was once introduced in the
Arkansas legislature to stop immi-
gration2 If we are correctly in
formed a man now residing in Har-
lingen had some hand In it.
The bill set forth that no more
people should be allowed to come
to the only diamond mining state
in the union, because, 1t set forth.
the state then had about all the
white folks the negroes could make
a living for.
4 MINATED Annie reminds that
~ an idle rumor isn't when talk
a ative people get hold Of 1t. And
Wy thing anybody says can be
twisted out of the abstract into the
monstrous by busy tongues.
I OOKING over the wire reports OF
doings in the United States 1t
seems that calamity howlers
make much of the unemploy-
ment situation, and q bank closing
its doors they attempt to make an
unusual show OF: when people have
been put out Of work and banks
been affected in varying bust
ness cycles before. the country al
to emerge or top Of the pros
heap.
Then TO show that much Is being
done by the present republican adj
ministration Hoover and his CO.
workers step out with long inter-
views or how well the situation is
being handled; and greedy stock
gamblers come out with distorted
predictions or elysian fields Just
in the hope Of cashing In on
their own statements.
Which makes us wonder why the
want the leadership In
at present. We might let
the republicans stay in there and
yet the blame for al economic slump
will pass in self adjustment.
except we just hate to see them
win. Then the democrats can come
on the return wave of prosperity

country into prosperity after the
republicans handled IL so badly"
