IN OUR
VALLEY
BY c. NJ. HALL

THE engineer Of this column has
really been living in Texas too
long TO talk about L. but i looks
ike IL is all over. Over until we
need it real bad again.
Drove out a bit yesterday and saw
people sprinkling poison on the cot
ton to feed stray insects on, and
really ii should not be long before
this first bale agony is over with.
From the crop OF sun flowers on
hand Ii looks as il the dove shoot
ing will be fine, but what use the
weeds are ever going 70 be 10 us
Is the hard thing to answer.
~ Our idea of good looking weeds
is when they are cropped close 70 the
ground. or better sti!l, plOwed I'M
der.
But we are merely whispering this
for fear the clouds will hear us.
OOKS like the time has about
L. passed TO do any further prog
nosticating about when the IN
ate will vote on the port but the
fact remains that i now appears
some action will be forthcoming at
an early date.
Wire from Washington last night
said that quick action IS o hing
ing around and amendment a senate
group is working on, which those
supposed TO know now say will iron
out the differences on the Illinois
waterways project.
This anne wire predicted a vote
Thursday or Friday. but IL seems too
short a time 10 so quickly work out
a difference. But that IS the only
contention now left in the matter.
and il is said the proposed amend
ment will be agreeable 70 all in
terests.
CALLED up z. A. Rosenthal and
Il, asked him what he thought
about il, and he said any
amendment to any Illinois project
would be acceptable down IN the
Valley. We agree - thoroughly.
The Brownsville Navigation COM
mission Of which Mr.. ROSenthal Is
chairman is still working along at
tempting to have the right of way
ready. Once in a while they strike
a snag. but Mr.. Rosenthal seemed
to think that the money from the
government will Don be the only
thing TO worry about.
Our idea IS that If no deficiency
fund is forthcoming Immediately in
the form OF the governments part
is for us to act like Harlingen and
lend Uncle Sam a little. The dear
Uncle is in pretty good shape. f.

met with members Of the civil SER

he would get full cooperation and
that political influence would not be

side the courtroom with a Tribune
reporter, KiSsane denied ever men
tioninq Lingle's name or OF ever
working for the newspaperman.
Crime Efficient
The acting commissioner, like his
predecessor, William Russell, blamed
prohibition and the selling OF beer
by means of syndicates for Chicago's
crime situation.
He was asked II gangs were as
well organized as generally reported.
"Oh. better he replied. Crime
has become 50 efficient today, SO
progressive, that no one has caught
up with IT,"
Mrs. Lingle, the slain reporters
widow, appeared yesterday IN pro
bate court and asked for letters OF
administration. A petition filed BY

Sented Lingle'S personal property

Legislative Tickets

This county will elect eleven members OF
the state legislature this fall. These eleven,
very probably, will determine the character
of laws that are passed at the next session.
It is most important for the voters OF
both parties to select most carefully the
candidates for these positions If they are
the usual sort who are bossed by the seekers
of privilege and who put party chicanery
above the welfare of the people, nothing will
be gained by the aroused sentiment OF the
state for very definite reforms.
One of the causes of lack of prosperity
among classes of citizens, especially the
worker and the farmer, is the high cost OF
government. This can be cured by spending
less money. A legislature can perform this
service.
A very definite demand for state-owned
cement plant operated with prison labor will
be made next year That might result in the
diversion of part of the twenty millions OF
dollars raised through tax on gasoline to
other purposes with no dimunitlon OF any
road program.
The American Legion is demanding free
school books for all Children-a most logical
and meritorious advance. This will be fought
by publishers VINO profit from sales of books
to families.
There may be a demand for lnvestlga-
tions, which have been refused in the past.
Legislators who favor giving the people all
the facts should be chosen.
In view of the very definite trend OF
opinion this year away from the party IN
power, it is highly essential to have good
candidates on the Democratic ticket. Two
candidates for nomination on that ticket are
so outstanding that every Democrat should
give the independent voter chance to vote
for them in the fall. John F. White has
long record of unselfish services to the peo-
pie in offices that lacked glamour but into
which he put power. Walter Myers is a law
yer whose abilities and sincerity have made
him a potential United States senator. 1t
should be privilege to have his services IN
this comparatively minor position.
Whatever else happens in the primary,
Democratic voters owe it as duty to the
state to see that these two are named.
This, of course does not mean that there
are not other good candidates on both tickets.
But these two are so unusual as asplrants
for these positions as to demand practically
unanimous vote,
