STEIN AVERS
BAN BENITO. July 31.—"Florida !
I do not think is as well off in a
rauction war as the Valley” said
M Stein former publisher of
the Brownsville Herald and now
supervisor of several South Texas)
newspapers before the Rotary club
Thursday.
He pointed out that this section
has the advantage of summer crops
and expressed the Belief mat pres-j
ent conditions will improve to the!
extent that probably better returns
will be had.
Advertising Stressed.
*In the Carolina* they are making i
a great to do about the*iodine con -:
tent of their vegetables and are|
advertising it as healthful” he said.
"I don’t know if there is any iodine
la Valiev vegetables but it would)
be well to find out and advertise it 11 j
it is so.” he asserted.
Mr. 8tein also touched on the road
situation in the Valley. “I oelleve
that if we can get together on wha:
we are going to do about our road
tystem we can go ahead he de-
clared
In opening his talk. Mr. Stein said
that in the past few years he had
seen a number of sections some of
them in competition with the Val-
ley. and that many of them will oe
forced to give up farming. Parts of
Georgia Alabama the Carolinas and
to aome extent Mississippi will have
to give up farming he said. None of
the southeastern farmers are able
to compete with Texas or other
growers of the southwest in raising
cotton he pointed out.
Mill Wages Low.
One of the first things he decided
upon taking over a newspaper at
.Columbia Ga. was that cotton mills
fefeere one thing the Valley did not
rwant. He described the low wage
"•tales and the general unemploy-
ment among textile workers since
the slump in this industry. The aver-
age wage is seven or eight dollars a
wc&k said.
Charles Greenslade secretary of
the dub wlio has been ill for several
weeks was present for the first
time at Thursday’s luncheon since
his office became effective. He will
assume his duties at the next meet-
ing.
Dr. M. A. Childers of Harlingen
was the only visiting Rot&rian.

Pease made this statement to
the Herald late last evening: “It
Is to be regretted that the owners
of the Independent had to air their
differences of viewpoint in this
; public manner but because of the
j fact that we have so many stock-
holders it is inevitable that differ-

“It has bern my desire in the
past and will be my wish in the
future to attempt to so conduct
the editorial policy of the Inde-
pendent that it will serve the
cause of the whole people of the
1 county without reference to class

inevitable that dissatisfaction will
occur in the minds of some and
perhaps a great many of the stock-
holders.
“So far as I am able and within

i purpose to make the Independent

of the former Mexican president

Mexican officials are scheduled to
reach Matamoros Monday t* Tues-
day.
Visit Two Weeks.
They will spend two or more weeks

in shape to accomodate them.
The latest report in connection
with the visit is that a large
combination hotel and casino is to
be built on W ashington beach and
a hard surface road constructed
from Matamoros to this resort.
Persons interested in the gambling
along the Rio Grande which was
closed down recently are known
t'j be close friends to President
Calles’ son. and were instrumental
in bringing the group to this sec-
tion for a vacation trip it was re-
ported.
Hotel Rumored.
Several rumors have been cur-
rent concerning the construction of
a tourist he tel on the beach and of
a highway to the beach.
Today it was reported from Severn*
sources that a casino is to be put in
on the beach possibly combining
gambling horse and dog racing bull
fighting and other sports.

tentatively.

BROWNSVILLE
WASHINGTON July 31. —<JPh~
The trip of Secretary Hurley of
the war department to the Philip-
pine Islands which starts tomor-
row has revived interest in the
question of Philippine independ-
ence.
Though he has been extremely
reticent regarding the purpose of
his trip it is known Secretary
Hurlsy is making the trip to study
the status of the islands for Pres-
ident Hoover.
Conferences Held
The war department head has
had many conferences during the
past few months with Manuel
Quezon president of the Philip-
pine senate who has been in this
count »y advocating independence
for the islands. The outcome of
these conferences was not divulged.
Years of agitation in the Phil-
ippines fcr independence recently
culminated in monster demonstra-
tions by Filipinos inspired by the
visit of Sen. Hawes democrat. Mis-
souri. one of the outstanding ad-
vocates of Philippine independence
in congress.
Legislation to free the Philip-
pines has been before congress
virtually since the islands were ac-
quired as a result of the Spanish-
American war. but it has made
little headway.
The question was revived during
debate on the Ilawley-Smoot tariff
act. chiefly by representatives of
sugar producing states who would
like to levy a tariff on Philippine
suaar and other imports.
During the last session the sen-
ate insular affairs committee ap-
proved a bill looking toward Phil-
ippine independence but it failed
to receive senate consideration.
Free Entry Helped
Gov. Gen. Davis recently told
the Filipinos in two public utter-
ances they were economically de-
pendent upon this country. He said
the effects of the world wide econ-
omic deprersicn would have been

much more serious in the islands
if they had not had free entry to
the big American market.
Despite the economic side of the
question about which there is some
difference of opinion the Philip-
pine political leaders have made in-
dependence their biggest issue.
Hurley will sail with his wife and
Sen. Quezon from Seattle August
8. Arriving in Manila August 31.
he will spend 17 days studying con-
ditions and talking to leaders be-
fore turning homeward.
En route Hurley will make a visit
at Honolulu during the stay of his
boat.

embassies and legations and 345
