' To wear a l>ttU* bangle with a Red Cr*> —
upon it these days is something of a mark
of distinction. It denotes that the wear-
er is both a humanitarian and an Ameri-
can. The size of the donation it repre-
sents is of no consequence if the wearer
has dealt honestly with himsftlf and hw
country in giving to the limit ot Ins re-
sources. ^
If you cut your donation to the Red
Cross in half this year did you do the
same thing with your gasoline bill for
'pleasure riding? If not you are either un-
American or thoughtless or el-e you val-

Houston teachers have united in a peti-
tion to the city council asking thajt in view
of the increased cost of living they he al-
lowed increases in their salaries. Browns*
viile has paved the way for Houston.
Brownsville increased the salaries of its
teachers without a great howdy-do about
it liecause Brownsville recognized the
need. Also the salaries of Brownsville
teachers apparently average higher than
those in Houston even before the in-
crease. ___
President Wilson has completed the re-
organization of the air service and has
directed that the air service he separated
from the signal corps and the functions
of producing and' o|ierating aircraft he
divorced. President Wilson's order cre-
ates a bureau of aircraft production
which “shall exercise full complete and
exclusive jurisdiction and control over the
production of airplanes airplane engines
and aircraft equipment for the ih> of the
army." This work will l»e done under a
director of aircraft production who will
also he chairman of the aircraft hoard.
A year's experience in the conduct of ihe
war is rapidly revealing the frailties of
early organization and they are being
corrected and strengthened by the chief
executive as fast as (Mtssible.
(Louis Cobolini.)
We have a lino of railroad that connects
us with Houston. The cost of it- con-
struction was $13500000. We pMy an
overage of $10 per ton to Houston. For
$13y5000OO we could build a haritor with
forty feet of water at Brazos Santiago
establish a line of twenty steamer- to con-
nect us with New York Boston New Or-
leans and Cuba handle 5.000.000 tons of
different ores from Mexico and save
$10000000 in transportation; export to
Mexico $50000000 annually through the
gulf coast-border ports thus -aving $5.-
000000 more iu transportation.
With a*harbor we would have one mil-
lion acres of land in cultivation in the
Lower Kio (irande Valley which would
produce 3000000 tons for exjxirt and 1-
000000 tons for import. The rate in gen-
eral would be $8 j*er ton to New Yoi*k and
other points going and coining.
The shipf*er of the Lower Kio CJrande
Valley and elsewhere is confnmted bv
problems of transportation. There is only
. » - * *
one solution h suiutiun common to us all
iftul that is. the iwe of th« vw^tjrway*.. The
spirit of the times demand it—the neces-
sity for economy in transportation forces
it. There is a natural law governing trade
routes and the drift of commerce that is
stronger and more far reaching than any
law that man can make. In the end this
natural law destroys tariff walls and man
made barriers and rights the economic
blunders human beings made.
tl is nature’s law of resistance. For a
*lmc mar's efforts and the money he is
willing to Make may divert commerce from
natures routes hut in the end need for
efficiency and economy develops and the
need cannot be denied or disregarded. The
lower border ports are exporting and im-
porting $50.(MIOOO0 annually showing
that the need for water tran-portat.on has
developed.
The effect of that cause touches you
business men of Brownsville and the Low-
er Rio tirande Valley; you. farmers; you
laborer- and you land owners. It touches
every living man in the vallcv. His Inisic
problems in their different ramifications
are all alike. No man w II willingly pay
the high cost of moving commerce over
artificial routes to and from markets and
shipside when a wafer grad*- route or wa-
ter transportation is built at Brazos San-
tiago.
