Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1931-07-12

The legislature OF the state Of Texas has been sum-
fmoned In special session by the governor for the
primary purpose CT passing legislation dealing with
problems arising from the over-production Of oil in
the East Texas fields.
Would it be surprising If following this session we
were TO hear a revival Of talk on the semi-serious
proposal to divide Texas into five states?
Here we have the spectacle Of legislators from all
parts Of Texas being called at public expense TO deal
with a problem peculiar TO one section OF the state
Only to the extent that we were citizens Of Texas
does the problem or the East Texas oil operator af-
feet citizens OF the Valley.
That part OF the state Is five or six or seven hum
dred miles away from us.
At present, no matter what may be our hopes for
the future. we have no wells whose liquid gold Is af-
fected in value by the over-production in East Texas
And the same can be said Of Central Texas and Of
that portion OF the state Immediately adjacent to Fl
Paso, between that city and the Big Bend country.
We Of the Valley are no more vitality affected by the
East Texas oil situation than We would be by over
production in the Oklahoma and the LOUISIANA fields
And yet, our representatives will 60 to Austin and
devote 80 or more days Of their time and effort IN
helping to bring order out Of chaos.
Many a problem has arisen in West Texas OF which
we knew little and perhaps cared less.
And the same goes for the attitude we may ex-
pect Of citizens OF East and West Texas toward prob
1emS peculiar to the Valley.
Except as we are citizens OF the same state, what
possible interest can an East Texan have in our green
fruit law. for example.
What does he care whether our fruit goes on the
market green. half ripe or over-ripe except as a mat
ter Of pride in Texas products?
It's all true enough, and %yet-try to divide Texas

the additional information that 1t viii be several
months before this Canada to Mexico highway viii

than this Is the news from Laredo that the gap in
the highway In la Sale county has been cloced and

Laredo promises to make good It's claim Of being the
