PROPOSE PLAN
TO LIMIT TEXAS
COTTON CROP
BY GORDON X. SHEARER
United Press Staff Correspondent

AUSTIN, Tex. Sept. IA. tU.D-
An emergency measure, making 1t
unlawful for Texas farmers to plant
or harvest cotton and other soil
eXhausting crops in 1882 in excess
OF one-third the area planted this
year. will be submitted today TO
the special session of the state leg
islature. it was learned today.
The plan, as outlined to the
United Press by A. P. Johnson,
chairman of the house sub-commit-
tee. probably will defeat the pro-
posal OF Governor Huey P. Long 20
prohibit all cotton planting next
year, it was predicted. Even sup
porters of the Louisiana's executives
"drop-a- crop" program admitted
this.
1T looks like we're licked, but
well fight it out and try to have
the legislature pass Longs program
of no cotton at all next year, said
r. w. Adkins, of Gilmer.
Supporters of the Long plan will
attempt, Adkins said. to have the
ub-committee's report substitute
Longs acreage restriction plan for
the cutting of acreage by one-third.
The committees bill will allow
farmers to raise soil-exhausting
crops only for feed for man and
animals, Johnson explained. Vio-
lators can be punished by fines and
possibly jail sentences, he said.
a poll of governors of the old
South shows a majority of the exc
outives opposed to Longs plan, said
johnson. He talked to the COVER
nors by telephone, but refused to
give their comments.
Gov. Ross S. Sterling intimated
he would veto the cotton relief bill
if it embodieS Longs plan.

TRAGEDY OF ROYAL LOVE

1T is pretty hard on the children when
i their parents are kings and queens.
Especially when they reach the marriage
able age. They can't ask a cherubic
Cupid to do some straight shooting for
them. They have to hope that there
are nice young princes or pretty princess
eS with a sense of humor and good dis
positions waiting around to get married.
too
The announcement that King Carol II of
Rumania has sent his friend, NJ Manoil-
eScu, TO Rome to seek the hand of Prin-
cess Maria Francesca, youngest daughter
OF King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, brings
the marriage problems of the sons and
daughters of the reignlng houses of Eur
ope into the spotlight again. Even though
the Rumanlan government has denied the
attempted engagement in this particular
case, such is the customary method of
royal wooing, SO the point remains the
same
Maria Francesca is only II. She has
hardly had time to get g thrill out of
watching the soldiers on dress parade, in
the way that even princess can do. But
she may be married to a king of another
land.
There are so many things Maria Fran
cesca has never done. Being princess,
of course, she never can. She can't an
swer the honk Of gay sports roadster at
the palace curb, and go skipping down an
enchanted road in a world of moonlight
and roses and, we'll, if not love, the first
youthful STRINGS of the grand emotion.
She can't wear a fratersity pin on her
blouse, or go to football scrimmage and
cheer for a certain helmeted figure whom
she is meeting after the game. She can't
get excited when she meets handsome
young man, for she knows that unless
his coat of arms grew up along with her
fathers throne, they aren't going to see
much of each other
Being the child of a king has its limit
ations. Now and then some brave men,,
Der of the group, who has fallen in love
with a commoner, manages TO pull OIL
regular American marriage, founded on
love alone. Now and then, the princess
and the king or prince she is marrying are
really as much in love as though they
had nothing to do with political intrigue.
Not often, though.
Royal life is hard on a princess when
she is small. She can't get chocolate bars
from the freckle-faced boy across the aisle
at school or go coasting with the one who
lives next door, regardless of whether
his father is the cousin of the king or not
related at all.
But when she grows up and has to
have canned-romance life is even more
difficult That is unless Cupid gets busy
and treats the princess and the prince or
king exactly like he does other young
people.

POSTOFFICE POLITICS
W. {. COSTELLO
Manager

CEW cities in California, or the United
L States, have brighter prospect for
the future than FL Centro. Along the
path mapped out by destiny and the pio-
neers for this city already shine some
bright spots pOrtending a rainbow
trail for the county seat, into a
golden future that will see it one of the
haustive typographical survey of the soil.
But one bright spot along that trail
more and more seems a will-o' 'the-wiSp.
dancing ahead in the Mexican "manana'
the tomorrow that never comes.
A year ago last April, which is almost
a year and half ago, congress appropri-
ated $4,000 for a new federal post
office building in FL Centro. December
d, 1880, local business and professional
men, and residents in the neighborhood
of Fifth and Olive streets, donated, with
out cost to Uncle Sam, site for the post
office.
Federal examiners came and went
promising plans for the new postoffice
would be submitted by the fall of 1881
and soon thereafter bids were to be called
for the badly needed structure.
Phil knights, city engineer, submitted
to the government, at its request, an eX-
haustive typographical survey of the soil,
sewer and gas mains, and other condl-
tions at and near Fifth and Olive streets.
As yet not one little squeak has been
heard from the postoffice bureau mach
inery in Washington to indicate plans
even are being drawn for the postoffice.
Residents here are becoming restless at
the laxity shown in official circles. Some
are beginning to wonder if the postal de-
partment is hoping to hold that $4,000
long enough so the interest can be used
in construction Of the building, and the
principal remain untouched In federal
safes.
If El Centro is to gain its recognized
rights, it begins to appear Ell Centrans
must petition the President himself for
immediate action from the governmental
department that has shown itself con-
Quoted in an extremely unbuslnessllke
manner. Laxity and slOwness that would
not for one instant be tolerated IN prl-
vate business concern seem to be the rule
rather than the exception in postal cir
cles.
President Hoover's entire unemploy-
ment relief program is based upon plans
for employment of the jobless through
public works. With this in mind, 1t
seems high time Mr.. Hoover VISITED the
postal department, swinging big stick
to insure early development of the pro
jects already assured, and which Will
offer some measure of relief to the un-
employed.
Their promise that plans for the FL
Centre postoffice would be submitted
this September apparently forgotten
postal employees build mimic postoffices
on the shiny mahogany tops Of their
Washington desks, while Ell Centre, in
league with other cities, frets under the
necessary and expensive delay; and the
already appropriated money remains idle
in federal vaults.
Concerted action by ignored taxpayers
here is apparently the only way to bring
relief from this situation, II anything can
move the over-fed government employees
from their lethargy.
