PHILADELPHIA, April 25. —(P—
—President Roosevelts efforts to
encourage a united Western hemi-
sphere against possible advances
from Asia and Europe brought
forth a new suggestion here from
members of the American Ppils-
ophical Society
The society, at its annual general
meeting, heard and unofficially ap-
proved the suggestion of Dr. S.
Whittemore Boggs. Washington
State geographer, that the bound-
aries of South American countries
be definitely fxed to avoid further
disputes between them
To date these boundaries have
caused many armed disturbances
and prolonged legal and economic
troubles. Dr Boggs said He propos-
ed that all of those boundaries be
definitely fixed according to astron-
omical observations and ground sur-
veys as a step toward permanent
peace in the Pan-American coun-
tries.
President Roosevelt recently sug-
gested that closer economic co-op-
eration between these countries,'
from Canada to the Straits of Ma-
gellan. would be a long step toward
peace and understanding Geo-
graphical understanding was de-
clared by some members of the so-
ciety to be just as important.
As part of a plan for tying the
Americas together in a geograph- 1
leal and economic unit Dr Boggs
recommended adoption of a map I
of South and Central America as it
has been fixed by treaties, papal
bulls. and arbitrations recorded‘in
Europe and the New World and
that a history of Latin American
boundaries be prepared, with all
the history of the 38 boundary con-
troversies from Ure Rio Grande
River southward included."

Opposes New Taxes
McCraw spoke for more than half
an hour, and in his keynote speech
opposed new taxes, sales, luxury or
income: favored creation of a util-
Uy commission, came out for civil
service for state employes: opposed
sale of liquor by the drink; favor-
ed Industrial expansion; declared
emphatically that Texas must meet
social welfare obligations; branded
present state cost of government as
wasteful; favored turning over en-
forcement of liquor laws to local
authorities; declared he will enforce
the state budget law If elected, and
opposed any form of gambling
Early in his address he told the
crowd:
"Almost unnoticed waste, extrav-
agance, duplication and inefficiency
have become the companions of
state admnintstration. The $150,000,-
000 state government today might
still move along on it slipshod,
wasteful course were it not for the
necessity of caring for our aged
citizens, for the blind, for the de-
pendent children of Texas and
matching the retirement fund for
teachers. "
He said he would see to it. If
elected governor, that old age as-
! sistance will be administered "with-
Utility Regulation
j McCraw also claimed that in the
; field of public utility regulation "we
j have written a record of 10 per
| cent in victorles in behalf of the
(people and for lower rates," and
that pipe lines, seeking to avoid “a
। Just and righteous tax" were de-
feated in the courts as a result of
which '‘millions of dollars are now
I In the treasuries of the people of
Texas,”
Urges Merit System

i of employment and predicted that

I the state government is Inevitable
Belter Farm Conditions
The attorney general also pledg.
e1 himself to co-operate with the
J Federal government to give the
J farmer and stockman a fair market
| and better conditions and further
that he will lend efforts in con-
I servation of soil.
' He declared himself liberal in
support of education, adding that
thousands of children today in
Texas do not have the benefits of a
full school term, and that Texas
has none too many of the institu-
। tions of higher learning.
The candidate urged the enact-
ment of a labor relations act, said
he opposes child labor in factories
I mills and sweat shops, and that he
favors the adoption of the child la-
bor amendment to the United
States Constitution
McCraw pledged co - oporation

A large delegation of people from
Denton were among the thousands
in Arlington Saturday afternoon to
attend the festivities connected with
the "home-coming" and formal
opening of William McCraw's cam-
paign for the Democratic guberna-
torial nomination.
The crowd filled the Main Street
solidly for a block, and two bands,
singing school children and prelim-
inary speeches gave the candidate
' eludes perfect daylight driving
conditions, a mechanically safe car
and a competent driver.
For instance, it became evident
accidents began to happen when
cars were driven more than 60 miles
an hour on U. S. Highway 81 be-
tween San Antonio and San Mar-
cos. Thirty-one persons died along
that sector last year and the speed
check Just completed showed the
average speed of all cars exceeding
the maximum limit there was 64.2.
| On state Highway 35 in Polk Coun-
ty. a narrow and winding road,
the mishaps became numerous when
cars exceeded 42.
The highest theoretically safe
speed on U. S. 80 from Howard
I County to Pecos was found to be 54
| yet all cars observed exceeedlng 45
in that sector averaged between 61
and 66.
On state Highway 4 in Starr, Wil-
lacy. Cameron and Hidalgo Coun-
ties. which claimed 64 lives last
year, officers found the safe maxi
mum wa sabout 55.'But when they
trailed motorists along the narrow,
overcrowded road they discovered
those driving faster than 45 av-
eraged between 55.3 and 57.6

AUSTIN, April 25.—P-A new
highway map, replete with skull
and cross bones and tombstone dec-
orations, has made its appearance.
Although it’s not Intended for
distribution among motorists, those
with a heavy accelerator foot might
profit by a study of it, highway
patrolmen say.
The hollow-eyed skulls and a neat
little grave yard accoutrement tell
a story of speed and its often dis-
astrous results.
The skulls appear along stretches
of cardinal routes where officers ac-
tually trailed 31,256 automobiles as
part of a five-month research proj-
ect. On the tombstones laconic fig-
ures tell the number of deaths
along those highway sectors.
Taking all cars into consideration
8,582 or 27.5 per cent were traveling
between 56 and 60 miles an hour.
Legal maximum speed for private
vehicles is 45.
A total of 624 drivers, including
all sections studied, were exceeding
71.
A meager 169 per cent of the
31,256 were driving at 45 or less.
Speed Big Factor
Officers don't contend speed in ex-
cess of the legal maximum necessa-
rily results in death but piecing
together information from the sur-
vey they found there were certain
maximum safe speeds on certain
highways.
