The Danger of Tampering
With the Quota
The Aaerie&n people are generally agreed that the
fixing of quotas to control Euripean immigration was
a wise move but it is obvious that the efforts of the
American Federation of Labor to extend the quota
system to apply to Mexico and Canada will meet oppo-
sition in every part of the United States.
The St- Louis Globe-Democrat in a recent article
discussing the proposed extension of the quota sys-
tem intimates that the American farmers and indus-
trialists have about reached the limit of patience. It
states that “the quota system car. be overdone to such
•n extent under existing labor conditions that the
whole system might suddenly be abolished.”
There is food for thought in that statement. It
haa been the history of the American people that they
will not permit a cliqye or small minority to impose
upon the country for any long period. It has been
the policy of the government from its inception to ex-
tend legislative aid to various groups needing such
and when the quota provision became a law it was
enacted for the sole purpose of protecting American
labor and maintaining existing standards. It was not
the intent of congress to jeopardize either agriculture
or industry. It merely sought to extend to labor a
certain degree if protection.
But having received this protection labor is
not satisfied. Under the leadership of the American
Federation and a few congressmen who receive their
support therefrom it is seeking to apply the quota to
he nation’s nearest neighbors a move which can
only result in further los* to the agricultural inter-
ests and which is certain to arouse the ill-will if not
the enmity of the two countries. The Globe-Democrat
states that “the quota system can be overdone." and
that statement is absolutely correct. It was not in-
tended as an impediment to agricultural and indus-
trial development. The system was originated for the
•ole purpose of protecting labor and maintaining liv-
ing standards and that it has accomplished this ob-
jective cannot be denied. But apparently the labor
leaders have the idea that it was enacted for the sole
purpose of giving them a stranglehold upon both
agriculture and industry and that with complete
isolation through extension of the quota they will
have both at their mercy.
There are limiU to the pow-er the American peo-
ple will delegate to any organization and it is obvious
that the limit has been reached in the power already
axtended the labor unions. Any further infringements
upon the rigbta of agriculture ar.d industry will be fol-
followed by a political revolt upon the part of those
affected and in the adjustment of economic conditions
the entire quota system may topple.
The present quota was established upon a scien-
tific study of labor and industrial conditions through-
out the country. Agriculture ha» been the chief suf-
farer through inability of the farmers to secure labor
at a reasonable figure. Probably no factor has played
a more important part in the creation of the prevail-
ing agricultural depression than the quota restric-
tions. Industry being well organised has been able
to meet the changing conditions and the brunt has
fallen upon unorganized agriculture.
It would be the part of wisdom for tha labor
leaders to leave well enough alone. They have esta-
liahed wages and living standards which are the envy
of all nations but they should bear in mind that
there are limits beyond which they cannot go without
•roasing a storm of national protest that may result
in complete downfall of that protection granted
through the quota system.
Must Be Fair With Mexico
The recent statement of Charles L. Chliders Im-
perial Valley irrigation attorney that the all-American
canal plan of development in connection with the
Boulder Canyon Dam project would eventually deprive
Mexico of irrigation water from the Colorado river
fcaa caused considerable alarm throughout South Tex-
as which is dependent to a great extent upon irriga-
tion water from the Rio Grande.
Mr. Childers' statement was made before the gov-
ernors of seven western states in conference at Den-
ver. The object of the conference is to secure a mu-
tual agreement in regard to the use of Colorado river
wats-ra for power and irrigation and to effect the sev-
M-states compact prior to the next session of congresa.
The announcement that the all-American canal
plan ta designed to deprive Mexico of irrigation waters
from the Colorado ia a ew phase to the situation but
la rot so alarming at it would have been prior to the
recent action of Mexico in appointing a commission
to cooperate with a similar commission from the Unit-
ed States to effect a division of waters of international
atreaaa. There are three streams to be considered—
the Colorado Tia Juana and Rio Grande and it is
obvious that neither the American nor Mexican sec-
tions of the commission would consent to any division
that would deprive either nation of fair portion of the
flow of these rivers. The commiaaion w-as formed for
the sole purpose of arriving at an agreement upon the
•qultabla ui# of these weters.
The action of tha last session of congress in ex-
tending the scope of the commission to cover the
Colorado and Tia Juana is in itself proof that the
American congress desires to be absolutely fair with
Mexico and that no treaty will be ratified that ia not
equitable. Pending the ratification of a treaty neither
government could afford to permit diversion of watar
that would prove a serious detriment to the ether.
The original intent of the all-American canal plan
would be e direct violation of all American precepts
of justice snd international fair dealing. It is doubt-
ful if Californian* would permit such sn injusitce snd
It is virtually certain that the other six states interest-
ad in the Colorado development will not. The interna-
tional commission will establish the basis upon which
the water* are to be put to beneficial use by both na-
tions and upon this basis bath nations are expected to
ratify the treaty.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley has what might be
germed fourfold protection against the materialisation
of tha plan (4 the all-Americ canal interasta. Tha
|gr«a ftalcs interoeied la*Cel do river development
will not favor it; the International commission can-
not establish an equitable division upon such basis
and neither the United States senate nor the Mexican
chamber would ratify a treaty that permitted such in-
justice to the irrigation interests of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley and the Mexican state of Lower Cali-
fornia.
The disclosure by Mr. Childers will probably re-
sult in securing prompt action by the international
commission and the early formulation of a treaty de-
fining the respective rights of each nation to the three
streams involved. In this respect 'fT will probably
prove beneficial to the Irrigation interests of the Low-
er Rio Grande Valley who will vigorously oppose any
effort to deprive Mexico of a fair share of irrigation
water.
France has been greatly stirred over the recent
statement of a German leader that wars are necessary
to prevent the nations from becoming overpopulated.
A more desirable method would be to increase the
manufacture of automobiles. The record in the United
States between January 1» 1919 and January lt 1927
was 137017 persons killed and 3500000 injured. War
may be all that Sherman said it was but for real re-
sults the automobile is » close competitor.
Bilbo has apparently won the democratic guber-
natorial nominaitcn in Mississippi defeating Gover-
nor Murphee by a majority of 8000. The Murphee
organization contends that republicans participated
in the democratic primaries and if that is true the re-
publican leaders will derive considerable satisfaction
from the fact that there are 8000 republicans in the
state.
About the most pitiful example of wasted effort
is an attempt by a woman driver to park an 18-foot
car in a 15-foot space.
HYDRO-ELECTRIC DEVELOPMENT IN TEXAS
(Dallas News)
Last year 1492602000 kilowatt hours of electric
current was generated in Texas. Of that total 1482-
699000 kilowatt hours or 99.3 per cent was of fuel >
and power production and 10.203 000. or .3 per cent of
water-power production.
So it is stated by Utility News "a weekly news-
paper published by the Texas Public Service Informa-
tion Bureau at Dallas.”
Of course not all the witer that could be made to
generate electric energy is so used. The Teason it is
or at least the chief reason as stated by that publi-
cation is “the lack of dependable water flow.” mean-
ing. of course the high variability in the flow of our
streams which at times overflow and at other times 1
quite or almost cease to flow even sufficiently to make
the flow dependable enough for the needs of generat-
ing electric energy when their floor waters are im-
pounded. What percentage of the kilowatt hours of
electric current last year could have been produced by
water power if our streams had been put to their max-
imum use in that service is not to be deduced from the
figures given by Utility News. But that it could have
been made to be as much as 5 per cent of the total
generated and used must be thought unlikely.
That is a cogent commentary on the policy of put-
ting out streams at the disposal of tydro-electric de-
velopment since the effect must be to make them un-
available to agriculture for irrigation without pro-
ducing electric energy in sufficient quantity to be of j
any economic value large enough to be shared by the
public. There may be some profit in that use of our
small and undependable stream flows. That is doubt-
ful owing to the improvements made in the process of
generation with lignite and oil. But of a certainty
the profit to be made in that way will be too small
to be distributable among a larger number than those
to whom the grant is made. The profit whatever it
may be will be private and not a public profit.
The Utility News gives the location of all or most
of the plants which generate electric energy with
water power. Three of them are operated by the Tex-
as Power and Light Company one each at San Marcos
Llano and Martindale. There is another at Cuero and
still another at Marble Falls both being small of
course. The Utility News adds that “several plants
in the state designed for water power have never pro-
duced any electricity because of the lack of water.”
Our streams make one of our “natural resources”
an immense one if their normal and flood flows are
impounded and used for municipal and agricultural
purposes and a very negligible one if used for gener-
ating electricity.

THE PRECIOUS THING
What would you save if your home were afire and
you had time to save but one thing?
It is a question we used to speculate upon mightily
when we were children. I always maintained that I
would save my biggest scrapbook. My little sister
said she would devote her energies to saving Mack
her yellow dog. no matter what the others might want
to do.
We put the question up to our mother. What
would she save if everybody’s personal safety was se-
care and there was just time to grab one thing?
Our mother considered the matter thoughtfully.
She did not believe in sending the children away when
they asked foolish questions. Looking wistful and a
bit sad she replied “The bottom drawer.”
“The bottom drawer” was a drawer in the dresser
in our mother's room. It was a sort of shrine of
precious memories for one person. For there mother
kept the toys and clothes and schoolbooks of two who
had died in childhood.
At house-cleaning time these precious keepsakes
would be taken out brushed aired and carefully put
back again. And to her latest years our mother went
sometimes on lonesome days to sit and dream some-
times smiling sometimes crying before the contents
of the bottom drawer.

Whet would you save in a fire if you could save
but one thing? It’s not a practical question of course.
But the answer is revealing if honesL
1 know a man who would save his watch even
though he had to escape to the street in his night
clothes and there were no insurance on anything.
Another friend of mine undoubtedly would greb a
gun from his gun-rack. And he would presently die
in the flames trying to rescue another of hie pre-
cious guns. He is a hunter and a collector of fire-
arms.
Many persons especially children have been lost
while trying to save household petj from firea. Every
once in a while you read of a man’s being burned to
death while attempting to save his money which he
had not sense enough to put in a bank where some-
body else could worry about its safety.

sonal association. 1 know several men who can talk

What’s What in Washington
By CHARLES P. STEWART
CONGRESS LEADERS HESITATE
ON CUTTING DOWN TAXATION
Exclusive Central Press Dispatch to
Brownsville Herald.
WASHINGTON. Augk 2C>.—Chair-
man William R. Green of the ways
and means committee of the house of
representatives where all revenue
bills originate will be calling his
group together quite awhile before
the next session opens they’re tell-
ing us to decide whether or not
we're to get any tax reduction in the
course of the coming winter.
To decide WHETHER? — good
gosh! did we understand that cor-
rectly?
Why we thought it was definite-
ly understood OF COURSE we were
going to get a BIG reduction.
That’s what President Coolidge
told us surely. And Senator Smoot
the administration’s great tax ex-
pert. said it would be at least $300-
000000. And Senator Robinson the
Democratic leader said it OUGHT to
be fully half a billion if it hadn’t
been for Republican mismanage-
ment. And Secretary of the Treas-
ury Mellon had the surplus all fig-
ured out and everything.
• • •
How about thia WHETHER bus-
iness?
Well you see there's nothing to
get excited about. Everything's all
right. Only it isn't. With that
minor exception the situation’s as
satisfactory as the most finicky fi-
nancial expert could desire.
We have an elegant tressury sur-
plus.
Instead of the mere $300000000
that Secretary Mellon originally es-
timated it at it exceeds $600000000.
If the cards hadn’t been gummed
the way they have the Democrats
might have had their half billion-
dollar tax reduction with a com-
fortable jag of money left over to
start another surplus on.
The trouble is. there are so many
things to be done with this present
surplus—besides reducing taxes.
• • •
To begin with who knew the Mis-
sissippi river AND tributaries
would act up as they have during
this last season?
Flood control!—that’ll have to
come out of the surplus.
You can stop right there if you
like. Once let the subject of Missis-
sippi flood control come up in con-
gress—as it’s going to and shake
Capitol Hill to its underpinning—
and goodbye surplus.
Flood control alone will be dis-
cussed in terms of billions.
Boulder Dam and a Great Lakes-
to-the-Atlantic canal and a few
other little problems in hydraulics
will clamor for consideration also
but they'll resemble small change in
comparison with the Mississippi
river AND tributaries proposition.
Still even thev’U make a three to six
hundred million-dollar surplus look
sickish.
• • •
This next congress is likewise go-
ing to be bugs on racing — yeah
naval racing—with Great Britain.
That was a cinch from the minute
the Geneva conference blew up. It
amounted to a challenge to this
country from the British. We may
not fully understand yet that that
was what it amounted to—because
it's hard for an ordinary' person to
get the significance of all the dip-
lomatic sleight of hand the experts
pulled off at Geneva—but our big
navy folks will make it clear to us
in due season.
We simply have our choice be-
tween letting the British throw it
into us and outbuilding ’em—that’s
the size of it. Naturally we ll go to
work to outbuild ’em.
• • •
If it were necessary it would be
easy to tell what's going to become
of the rest of our surplus but it
ISN’T necessary because this is one
of the times when there won’t BE
any core.
However whadds the most of us
care if they DON’T reduce taxes! It
was only SUPER-taxes they were
talking about reducing anyway.
Let Green and his committee get
all the fun they can out of it.

"Who’s the other one?" asked
the thin leader
•'Don’t know him. Think I’ve
seen him around but all these
guys look alike today the ones

“Do yon think this gtrl will

"Maybe; he’s not wise enough
to be suspicious and if we can
line him up we’ll take Mannle

got on the way in has got a hun-
dred and fifty thousand dollars'
worth of uncut stuff If Its got a

The music stopped and the con-
versation among the three was si-
lenced. Leisurely they paid their

accounts and bidding farewell to
Clarice and Clssie they passed out
Into the street. The three parted
quickly in front of the door and
each hailed a different taxi-cab
though all gave the same address

tel downtown.
CHAPTER IX
Rory O’Shea’* Battle.
Mrs. O'Shea herself climbed the
three flights of stairs that led to
the Kildare apartment to invite
Sheila and Old Tom down to hear
announcement round by round of
the fights at the Garden over the
radio. Old Tom demurred at first
as he still was ashamed of quitting
his job with Tim O'Shea but the
novelty of radio tempted him. They
were the only guests. The other
children of the O’Sheas all owned
homes and radio equipment of their
own. Not only that but Jobs to go
to early in the morning. They
couldn’t afford to be wasting their
sleeping hours by visiting the old
folks in the midweek. At least so
old Mrs O'Shea assured Sheila. *
Michael O’Shea censored the re-
ception. He experimented with one
station after another catching a
marvelous concert by one of the
most popular jazi orchestras or by
reference to the daily program he
would manage to capture a program
of old-fashioned songs of which
Kathie his wife was so fond. But
he kept his ear on the station
broadcasting from the Garden that
night and jwhen tfcu preliminary
bouts were uninteresting he shut
them off pre-emptorily. 9o care-
fully did be time his return to the
Garden station that they caught
even the few introductions of
other lightweights which imme-
diately preceded the O'Shea-
Campean bout
The eyes of the proud mother
and father lighted when the an-
nouncement came that their Rory
had entered the ring. The cheers
for O’Shea that swept the huge
hall brpught an electric tingle to
the cheeks of Sheila. Here was a
hero! Campeau’s reception was
not so sweeping for the French lad
had not yet wen the hearts of the
fans. Too few had seen him In ac-
tion to have become true hero wor-
shippers.
The preliminaries to the bout
were short. The management was
anxious to get on to the Brown—
Malloy go. The managers of the
heavyweight fighters had already
warned the promoter repeatedly
not to occasion any unnecessary
delay no matter how popular the
rest of the card proved to be with
the crowd.
The first and second rounds wets
without much interest The men
had fought each other before and
they were wary of the pitfalls
which they knew existed. Toward
the end of the second the "boc"
chorus began but it was short
lived. There was a sharp exchange
toe to toe lust as the bell rang and
the warmed up fans applauded.
"Take him Rory take him l”
“Carry the fight to the frog!" “Go
on Campeau!" "Mix it up. mix It
up!"
The bell for the third round quiet*
ed the audience. Campeau an<f
O'Shea opened up now. Rory to
his own satisfaction had found that
the two previous rounds had left
him hardly with a sweat. He
sprang from his chair to meet
Campeau near the latter's own cor*
ner. Returned confidence made
Rory the aggressor and he carried
the fight to his rival. But Campeau
remained unharmed. The youth
of the boy was holding out gamely
against Rory's superior ringman-
ship. Experience and youth equal-
ized the fighting qualities of the
two men and while the round ct
fast fighting lifted the galleries
to their feet neither man showed
appreciable damage and the round
was even just as had been the first
two.
Sheila was now thoroughly
aroused and excited. The calling of
blows meant nothing to her for
she did not understand the lan-
guage of the prize ring but when the
voice of the announcer rang out:
“Campeau draws first blood with
left Jab” Sheila felt her heart Jump
but was quickly reassured when old
Mrs. O'Shea put in quietly. “Rory
always did bleed easily In the nose
even when he was a baby.”
It was the end of the sixth round
that Rory began to feel the pace.
He had carried the fight to the
other and had delivered as much
punishment as he had taken but
he feared Campeau'a quicker re-
covery due to youth.
"Take it careful Rory.” whisper-
ed Jimmy Tree as he and Reagan
sponged him down. "No more
chances now. You can go ths
twelve rounds easy and you've still
got the punch that'll win If you
wait for it Tire him out a bit and
take it easy. He'll probably start
in to finish you now. Let’s hope be
does. Just wait and shoot it home;
and don't waste a single one. If
you haven't got it pointed don't
shoot! You’re going fine and re-
member You can i!o only wbat you
think you can do.”
The sixth proved unsatisfactory
to the crowd. Campeau rushed
his opponent but skillful Rory
easily avoided these onslaughts
and forced Campeau to waste pre-
cious strength in efforts against the
wily older man. Campeau de-
served the round for sheer agres-
slveness but Rory walked to his
chair with a smile and waved to a
couple of newspaper writers who
yelled good luck to him.
"That’s the stuff Rory” Reagsu
cried. "You're fresher now com-
pared with him than you were at
the end of the fourth. It's a win
you’ll get sure out of this.”
"Now for the lucky seventh*
said Rory as he spat out the water
and relaxed for those precious ten
seconds that precede the belL
Campeau was more wary this
round. Each man felt out his op

log strength and stamina in tha
