i Seabury Dis-
cusses Original Es-
tablishment of Land
-— !
•'ipanish grants and Mexican land !
laws were discussed by Judge W. F. 1
Seabury of Brownsville at the lun-
cheon of the Cameron County Bar
Association at El Jardin Tuesday
noon outlining of the fundamentals
proving very interesting to those at-
torneys present. Arrangements have
been made by the Bar association for
similar addresses at each of their
luncheons.
In a 20-minute talk Judge Seabury
outlined the history of the Valley's
settlement and development under I
the kingdom of Spain and the sue-1
ceeding reppblic of Mexico and the
controlling part played by the land
laws of the two sovereignties. First
came the colossal grant to Jose de
Fscandon afterwards County of
Sierra Gorda to Gomez de Castro and
to Basques Borrego the last being on
.the north- bank of the Rio Grande
and extending from the present site
of Laredo to that of Zapata—about
sixty miles of river front. Then the
semi-military frontier settlements of
Laredo on our side oftbe river and
Guerrero Mier Camargo and Rty-
•nosa. on the Mexican side all found-
ed in 1749 and erected into munici-
palities each with an extensive ter-
ritory outside the town proper in
the year 1767.
Mr. Seabury pointed out that the
“Act of General Visit” a copy of
which was left at each town by the
both the charter of the town and a
multiple land grant granting to
each inhabitant a lot in the town it-
self rights of pasturage etc. in the
town commons or "ejidos” surround-
ing the towrn and an individual tract
or "porcion” in the lands outside of
the commons.
The supreme court of Texts early
held inadmissible in evidence certi-
fied copies of these ports of the Act
of General Visit cotnainmg the sur-
vey and allotment of a particular por-
cion because the Art was a single
instrument sod a grant made by it
could be proven only by introducing
the whole Act in evidence.
These porcion* were laid off as
long rectangles containing five to
six thousand acres each and each
porcion had a narrow frontage gen-
erally 1300 varas or 1750 vara* on a
stream mainly the Rio Grnnde but
sometimes one of its tributaries.
The river frontage was given to fur-
nish watering places for the colon-
ist’s live stock and also for farming
in river bottoms subject to overflow.
Irrigation as we understand it was
hot considered possible. In fact the
Acts at Guerrero and at Camargo con-
tained express findings that irriga-
tion by lifting water out of the river
hsd been tried but was unsuccess-
ful because the water sank into the
ground and the ditches would not
carry it to the fields. From above
Laredo down to San Juan in Hidalgo
countv the whole Taxas frontage on
the Rio Grande wa* parcelled out
into the town commons and private
porcions assigned to the five settle-
ments. with the exception of the
Basques Borrego grant in Zapata
county. All other Spanish and Mex-
ican grants were made later and
for a different purpose. They were
made to ranchmen who could prove
their ownership of livestock and need
of pasture lands to maintain them
and they were sold at appraised
values not donated as in the case of
the porcions.
Judge Seabury’s discussion of the
Spanish and Mexican method of exe-
cuting and registering conveyances of
land of their laws of descent and dis-
tribution and of the peculiarities of
the community property system then
in force was. of course technical and
interesting only to lawyers. These
matters were he said of living in-
terest to all lawyers in the Valley
because the validity of all transfers
of property here depends upon.their
conformity with the laws in force at
the time they were made. To this
extent Spanish law and Mexican law
are not the laws of some foreign
countrv. but the laws of this land so
long as it lay under their sovereign-
ty. _

cial support to the proposed con-
struction of a community house on

chamber of commerce property
which fronts Levee street. It is
bounded on the west by the Missouri
Pacific bridge road; on the south by

lem. The equaluat ion fee was not j
mentioned.
The rominee's references to pro-
hibition came at the end of his hour
address which was delivered for the!
most part extemporaneously when i
he answered a scries of eight ques-
tions propounded to him in a full -
page advertisement in the morning
newspapers b> ten Nebraskans who;
styled themselves “citizens of both
parties.” Smith adherents classi-
fied all of f cm as republicans.
Hands Off llr> ( congressmen
In his repiies he declared in sub-1
stance that the president can do
nothing about liquor. except to i
make recommendations to congress!
and assume a leadership on the i
question and further that he would!
not attempt to persuade any demo- j
cratic member of congress to go <
against his constituents if they I
wanted prohibition.
The governor emphasized at the!
start of his address that he would
speak in plain language so there
could be no misunderstanding of
where he stood oq any question and
would carry this policy out for the
rest of his campaign which carried
him southward today to the border
state of Oklahoma for • speech to-
morrow night at Oklahoma City.
“Various people have attempted
to misrepresent and confuse ny atti-
tude with respect to the Mc.Nary-
Uaugen bill” he said. *‘I do not
propose to leave the slightest doubt
in anybody's mind on that subject.
As I read the McNary-Haugen hill
its fundamental purpose is to estab-
lish an effective control of the sals
of exportable surplus with the cost
imposed upon the commodity bene-
fitted.
Flays Republicans
“For that principle the democratic
platform squarely stands and for
that principle I squarely stand. Mr.
Hoover stands squarely opposed to
this principle by which the farmer
could get the benefit of the tariff.
What remains of the McNary-Hau-
gen^bill i» mere matter of method
and I do not limit myself to the
exact mechanics and methods em-
bodied in that bill.” *
Continuing the nominee inter-
rupted frequently by applause said
there was “a clean-cut issue which
the farmers and the voters of this
country must decide.”
remains but to work out the
details he added “by which this
principle shall be put into effect
and I have pledged myself to name
a non-partisan commission of farm
eaders and students of the problem
to work out these details. I shall
make that appointment if | am
elected—not when I take the oath
of president hut immediately after
election; and I pledge to the farmers
and to the people of this country
that no stone wiil be left unturned
to give immediate and adequate
farm relief by legislation carrying
into practice this definite principle
lor which my party and I stand.
Takes Up IJueston*
Here ended the prepared address
Riven out in advance to newspaper-
men and the nominee took up the
questions asked him in a newspaper
"open letter” addressed to him.
1 he text of the questions as read
and the governor's replies follow*
Q—"What specific federal legisla-
tion do you propose for farm re-
lief?”
A—“If these gentlemen had read
my speech of acceptance there would
be on occasion for that question. I
made it clear in Omaha tonigh that
ihe legislation working out the prin-
ciple of lifting the surplus is to he
handed to a commission to be work-
ed out during the winter.*
Q—“Do you believe the country
will be more prosperous with liquor
or without. Why?*’
A—“Well I assume that this is an
intelligent group of men that have
an understanding of what is going
on around the counrty. Nobody no
living person no matter how wise
no matter how well informed no
matter how far seeing could make
any answer to that question because
there has never been liquor out of
this country.”
Q—“Do you believe that liquor is
the great issue in this campaign?”
A—“I certainly do not.”
Q—“How can you square your sup-
port of democratic candidates for
congress pledged against liquor with
what you say you wiil do for
liquor?"
A—“Why. I don’t know what idea
these men must have of the debates
the platform and the speeches of ac-
ceptance. If they paid the slightest
attention to anyone they could not
ask that kind of a question because
there is nothing that the president
can do about liquor. All he can do
is recommend to the congress and
he Van assume the leadership of the
American people in an effort t»
show them that his recommendation
is right. That is what I propose to
do. and let the American people
make the decision as they will have
to do.”
Q—“How can 1 support a dry dem-
ocrat candidate for congress ?”
A—“That question came up in the
national convention and the nation-
al convention deliberately through
the report of the committee on cre-
dentials left every democrat in the |
United States free to express hi* |
own individual opinion of what be
thought on that subject.”
“Now you have an admirable j
scholarly gentleman running for J
United States senator here Mr. Met-
calfe. 1 understand that Nebraska
is dry but 1 would never ask Mr.
Metcalfe to turn bis back on the peo-
ple of his state until such time as he '
can come out here and convince j
them that they are not tackling the
problem the right way.”
—“How will your proposal for 1
the sale of liquor in few states meet !
your issue of personal liberty in the j
other states ?” *
A—“The prevention of the sale of
i liquor is in the exercise of police I
power nd 1 have clearly shown
! that if a majority of the people of a
: given state voted for the exercise of
that police power in that direction
they should get it to the limit.
“On the other hand following the
well defined Jeffersonian principle
of state’s rights the state that does
not waut the exercise of that police j
power ought to be in a position j
through a majority of the people to
say so.”
Q—“Are you still personally op-!
posed to the St. Lawrence water-
way?”
A—“Why it the gentlemen had
just looked at my speech of accept-
ance. they would have seen that I 1
made as clear declaration on that as ■
any man could make. 1 frankly said
to the American people that while'
1 was the governor of the state of
New York 1 favored the all-Ameri-
can route because it went through ;
that state but inasmuch as the fig- I
ures affecting the St. Lawrence ca-
nal as well as the all-American
route are disputed by some eminent
engineer I am willing to leave it to i
congress after a study of the mat- i
ter.”
“Now number seven is something
of a tricky question. It says:
“‘You have stated that the Under-
wood tariff law fulfills the pledge
of this year’s democratic platform.
“My answer to these disttinguisb-
ed gentlemen is that I never said
that and I challenge them to find it
in any public paper of mine.”
The last one number eight is
this:
"'Are you in favor of higher food
prices in the city or lower food
prices on the farm ’
“My answer to that is that th->
farmer can get the full benefit of
the value of his crop without in-
creasing the price in the city.”
