Representative Drewry explains.

real estate of the entire country.
There have been several cases of
rich men dying who were theoreti-
cally worth, say 100000. But their
holdings sold for only half this. The
government tax on the estate was
100000. Therefore the heirs got
nothing.
The British government has moth
ing to do with the process by which
the holdings of millionaire-or any
one-are rendered liquid. That is the
business of the executor and the heirs.
The British government does not
get a price" for the property. In
stead it sets the amount of tax. and
it is up to the executors to scurry
around and raise the money as best
they can.
This is certainly a steep and in
some cases a confiscat0ry tax, but the
British government will stop at
nothing to keep its budget balanced.

struction in the southernmost part of Texas,
and the building of the Pan American High
ways, with their connections, is now begin
ming to turn the limelight not only on Browns
vile, Texas, and all sections of the Browns
vile Navigation District and vicinity, but also
to all parts Of Southern Texas.
Building OF this important new deep wa
ter seaport in the Southernmost Texas Gulf
Coast region Of the Rio Grande Valley, and OF
these Pan American Highways and their con-
n~ections will provide many good reasons for
gradually attracting the public eye of all Sec
ions of North America, and many from Cen
trail and South America, to the great State Of
Texas and it's vast resources and wonderful
climate.
The building Of this new seaport in the
Rio Grande Valley is destined to result in the
building of a great city and metropolitan dis
trict including Brownsville Queen Isabel, Del
Mar, Los Fresnos, Port Isabel, and other Sec
ions of Cameron County and vicinity in this
favored portion of the winter home belt of
Southern Texas, just as the building of the
deep water seaport serving San Pedro, Long

resulted in building a great city and metro

There are three major tourist and winter
resort states in this country. These are Cali
fornia, Florida and Texas.
California first came into the limelight
because of a remarkable gold discovery, and
has been in the public eye and well advertised
since that time.
As a result California has had a marvellous
growth and development, but its biggest and
most profitable development and growth was
because of tourist and winter home business.
Florida next came into prominence when
Flagler, the treasurer of the Standard Oil
Company, built the East Coast Railway, and
dotted it with tourist and winter home hotels,
from st. Augustine to Miami.
Florida has been in the public eye and
well advertised since then, and has had a very
wonderful growth and development.
Many whole sections of both Southern
Florida and Southern California nave become
tourist and winter home communities.
The whole states of California and Flori-
da have been enriched because of their tourist
and winter home development and growth.
The annual wealth derived from their
tourist and winter nome trade is frankly ad.
mitted to be larger than the total wealth from
all products of the soil and other sources OF
both California and Florida.

The public eye is now being attracted by
Texas, which 10 the last Of these three great
tourist and winter nome states to start devel-
opment.
Texas, while the last to be developed, is
however by no means the least important or
less valuable of these three great winter home
states.
In size, in natural resources, in location,
in climate, and in present and future oppor-
tunities for safe and profitable investment,
Texas 10 unsurpassed by any state in the whole
North American Union of States.
The location of Texas and many of it's re-
sources are naturally different from those Of
both California and Florida, and of many 9th
er states. These differences are to the advan-
tage of Texas, instead of to its disadvantage.
Tits greatly to the advantage of Texas that
the development of the tourist and winter
home business of Southern California and
Southern Florida started first, and that the
manufacturing, commercial and investment
business of many other states also started first.
This gives Southern Texas the opportun-
lily to be the latest and most up-to-date tour
ist and winter home development, and also
gives the whole state of Texas the opportunity
to profit by mistakes made by many other
states which have developed large and longest
ed manufacturing, commercial and investment
centers.
