REGARDING THE second sug-

for such a column.
In the first place. 1t would entail
work on the IN Our Valley" editor.
In the second place. Il effusior
per day from that said editor Is
about all the long suffering cash
customers OF The Brownsville Her
aid can with justice be asked to
endure.
In the third place such a column
already exists. although to date II
has never broken into print. Just
attend any meeting OF the Secre-
taries OF Valley chambers OF COM
merce, any coffee drinking SYM
postum. any street corner gather
ing. and you will get our point.
OF course. we might gather up
these various spoken columns and
publish them day BY day, but we
fear that the eight or ten pages
the discussions would take W
would force too much OF the So
called news columns from the paper
However. we leave that TO "oui

ARDENT ADMIRER" writes
from San Benito, anent the radio
log.
In its place he or she would have
a column under some such heading
as There ought TO be a law" Or
What this Valley needs
You know, ordinarily the most
unsuspecting OF mortals. We have
an idea that Ardent Admirer" Is
attempting to take I'm Our VAL
ley" on a ride.
Not the kind Of ride that the
deSotees OF AL Capone deal out in
Chicago, but a ride nevertheless.
As to the first suggestion, the
there ought to be a law one, 1t
hits right at a pet theory Of In
Our Valley"
our whole editorial CD policy Is
nased on the theory that there
Ought not to be 4 law"
There are TOO many laws already.
Everything from III morals 70
our pocketbcoks are being legis-
lated.
And II you ask us the legislation
has done neither u morals nor
our pocketbooks any a~ppreciable
amount or good.
Some feature writer in one Of the
popular magazines not so long ago
figured It out that the ordinary
supposedly law abiding citizen,
even as you and /, could not back
his a out OF the garage and drive
to his office without f~racturing
some IS or 20 laws Of the city, state
or nation.
There ought 70 be q law abol-
ishing about seven-eighths Of the
laws We already have and providing
for the absolute enforcement OF the
other one-eighth.
we viii 60 that far with Ardent
Admirer" on his or her or his and
her ride and no farther.
