An Inland Channel to the Gulf

For the first time in history Fort Worth and Dallas
business men and builders have clasped hands They
have evolved q project. This projct is in the nature OF
a river channel from Fort Worth to the Gulf Of
Mexico. It calls for an opening for steam barges from
Panthervile to the Pirate Isle. Roy Miller Of Corpus
Christi has been engaged Is the chief pilot of the IN
d~ertaking, and on July IA the builders Of the two
cities viii launch their program for an inland water
route to the Gulf Of Mexico.
This was the dream Of Dalasites in the long ago.
II was a dream that was sneered at and derided and
ridiculed by the early builders Of Fort Worth. 1t is
different now. Houston had q greasy, loud-smening
bayou and the builders of Houston turned the muddy
stream into a deep channel in order that the freight
ers Of the seven seas might make landing at Hous-
ton docks.
cities. 80 miles apart, have a Joint population Of more
than 10000 people in two OF the richest agricultural
counties under the skies OF Texas. They are rail cen
tiers. They are jobbing centers. They are wholesale
centers. Thy are financial centers.
IN the not remote past, the little steamer II. NJ
Harvey made its way from the gulf to the city of
Dallas. It was a red letter event in the history of
the city which called itself the queen Of the black
lands Of North Texas. Then the deep water channel
scheme was permitted to wither and die.
Now resurrection day is coming, according 10 the
builders Of the twin cities Of North Texas, and with
the aid Of the government they are going to plan a
barge outlet to the Gulf Of Mexico. Brains and money
and determination and pluck form a marvellous COM
bination for progressive development. These men
Of North Texas have the brains; they have the money;
they have the pluck and they have the audacity of
purpose as well as the bulldog determination which
this new civilization and marvellous age calls for all
along the building firing line.

Norris and the Power Trusts

In the closing days Of the special session Of the con-

on the power trust. He asserted that the trust had
spent 100000 to control the senate in blocking Muscle
Shoals legislation. This was his Indictment: This
same outfit has blocked Muscle Shoals legislation for
10 years. and is now preventing agreement between
the senate and the house"
Sen. Norris IS a candidate for reelection. and out
in Nebraska they do say that the attorneys and the
agents Of powerful interests have sworn to bring
about his defeat this. year. First they will 60 after
him in the primary contest. II Norris wins. then they
are going after him IN November. 1t will be a con-
test worth watching.

Cooley must have been a hustler.
It's nc wonder that his circulation

Aside from our establishment at

One woman in particular wore a

cars, apparently.
Here and There
A friend Of ours stopped Us on
the street and said that he was going
to get rich. After the usual compn-
mentary and congratulatory re-
marks, we asked him how he was
going to manage 1t.
He said that he was going to use

The two most important docu-

independence and the rivers and

Why doesn't the Valley stage a
bathing beauty contest? This is the
time Of year for such an event, with
the sun shining and the flowers in
bloom and everything pleasant.
There are sufficient pretty girls
IN this section TO put this over IN a
large way. The Body by Fisher Is
not uncommon around these parts.
In the past. however it has been
found that the Valley girls are too
bashful TO enter such contests. For
this we are sorry, but think that
something ought to be done about
it.

circulated over the entire United
States -. for there is not an editor
In the country that does not like
70 use such pictures. Think OF the
publicity this section would receive.
Time for the political pot TO begin

dates in the county race, and the

But why talk Of politics on Sun

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-07-13

Sen. Tom Connally Of Texas has ventured the
prophecy that the senate Of the United States and the
house Of representatives viii have to meet the question
Of the agricultural exports debenture in the years to
come. IN the closing days OF congress the junior SEN
ator frSm Texas said:
This session Of the congress was delegated to the
relief Of the farmer. This session was solemnly called
upon the great flannel mouth political plea that we
are going to call the congress together to do some
thing for suffering agriculture. I want It to be set
down in the record now that the longer congress has
been in session the worse off the farmer has become.
His prices today are lower than they were when we
first met to administer some relief 10 him. Should
they continue to decline, it looks now as If instead
Of administering relief We will be forced to administer
his estate. In April, 1929. wheat at Kansas City was
s110. Today CJune 2D in Chicago 1t is SO cents, a
decline Of % cents a bushel. When we met in April,
1929, TO relieve the cotton farmer, to give him more
money for his cotton, he was then getting in New
York 2o33. After talking for IS months about re-
lieving him, his price for July cotton in New York is
1907, a decline Of something like 80 Is per cent.
Why. M. President. the answer is complete. There
is no foreign demand because foreign governments
cannot buy our goods unless they can sell their goods
to US. The American farmer cannot even buy do
mestic goods unless he can get a high price for his
product"
Sen. Connally was one Of the coalition that forced
. senate majority to accept the foreign debenture
plan and the making OF the tariff act. Speaking OF
the debenture plan which was stricken from the bill
by order Of the president, the Texas senator said:
Il want to call the attention Of the country to the
fact that the issue OF the agriculture debenture Is
not dead. II cannot be put to sleep by executive
ukase; it9 death cannot be decreed by the temporary
victory here on the floor Of the senate Of those who
would do it to death in the hope Of receiving some
benefit from the tariff bill. That issue will be with
us until agriculture shall really. in some measure. be
benefited by preferential legislation which congress
has given to all industrial classes Of our population. :"
There is a general election coming In November
All the great agricultural states Of the midwest and
the northwest are republican Gibraltars. If the farm
ers Of these sections run amuck on election day and
elect democrats or progressives to the senate and the
house, Sen. Tom Connally's prophecy may come to
pass. They haven't been running amuck in recent
years, not since the silver craze swept the country.

SO that she had no fears either for
herself o. for her beloved little
friend.
The future Of Judy was as rosy
as her own. She would have the
world at her feet, and then In time
she would find love, ind she would
know that u Is the greatest thing
C1 all.
The day in the country was q
great success. From Chummy's
point Of view. 1t vas perfect.
They drove up to u ~ corner Of
Connecticut, where there was q
sweeping line Of great hills. They
climbed one Of them. leaving the
car at the bottom, and Alan carry
ing the luncheon basket. On the
top they were rewarded by q grand
view and a sweet cool breeze. They
ate and drank like school children.
Judy was entranced by the wide,
open spaces, and danced about like
q child Of ten.
Then they laid themselves down
on the Spr1ngy, scented turf, and
smoked and talked-at least, Judy
and Chumnly talked. They strolled
about and picked flowers, made a
wide circle of the summit Of the
hills, and finally reached the car
again, scrambling down a steep hill

exercise and fresh air.
Judy was dropped at her rooms

Judy'S room was on the top floor

little pictures that the boys at the
cafe had given her. and there was
a gayly striped Como rug thrown
over the hard couch.
Far more color was provided by O
mass OF exquisite flowers from hot
house and garden-a veritable med

all the variegated splendor Of the

been thrown into basins and jugs

Chummy found 1t hard beyond
belief to repeat her conversation
with Judy to Alan. She managed
to tell him that Judy was very
much changed.
shes SO serious, Alan -- you
wouldn't know her"
And you think she can look az

man asked.
"Oh, yes, Of course she can. She
always has"
Then you don't think 1t neces-

Steyne said nothing. There was
no other account. He knew that.
IL had come TO the point. 1t was
now the end Of the first week in
August. He had consulted the girl
about the date OF the wedding q day
or two ago, and she had suggested
the seventeenth, her birthday. II
must be settled definitely now.
There was nc going back. Her
preparations were made. He had
none to make.
The time had come for him to
settle his debt. TO pay for that
more than seven-year-old mistake.
He nerved himself, ard they dis
cuSsed details. There was plenty
Of time to give orders for the other
rooms at Gramercy Park to be pre-
pared before they came back. They
would write from abroad.
Perhaps ClariSSa would pick I'D
some Italian furniture. There were
y small sitting room for her and
another bedroom, and also a maids
room, to be arranged. ClariSSa
could think Of no more ideal home.
Before we 60, Alan, we must
make Judy spend q day with us.
I'm still a little worried about her.
You see, shes alone a great deal
now. and Clara jerks is SO busy.
Shall we 60 into the country and
