A JOB FOR THE VAJ.I.EY
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The Interstate Commerce Com-
mission will meet at Washington
October 30 for th<* purpose of hold-1
ing a hearing in regard to a reduo-1
tion of express rates and it is mani-
festly to tb<* interest of the Valley
to have a representative present at j
that hearing well supplied with data
as to the effect the present rates!
have upon Valley shipments.
Since the signing of ih“ armistice
three successive advances have been
granted the express companies and j
each advance has made its effect felt
ftfTdff the Valley nrodueers who are j
dependent upon the express com- j
pany for the prompt marketing of
their perishable products.
Then* is probably no part of the
South upon which the advances in
rates has had such disastrous effects.!
Under tin* rates in force a few years i
ago the Valley producer w as per- j
mittrd a margin of profit on his nv -i
ducts without making the price pro-!
hibitive to the consumer hut under'
presents rates the prefit when
there is a profit is generally very
meager and it is often the ease that
shipments are made at a loss to th«*
producer.
Durin? the last shinping season the
Valley shipped 148 full carloads by
express and a conservative estimate
of shipments in less than carload
lots places the total at 300- carloads.
Practically all of these shipments con-
sisted of perishable products which
could not Lo shipped by freight anil
it is safe to say that a very large
percentage of them wore shipj ed at
a loss to the producer.
The Valley is deeply interested in
the action to be taken by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission upon
the petition for a reduction in ex-
press rates and the Valley Chamber
of Comnu rce which will hold it>
monthly meeting Friday should see
that a representative i> sent to
Washington to attend the hearing
and present the Valley's case it the
opportunity is offered.
Notwithstanding the attempts of
liquor interests to advertise the
standing of a few candidates who
are opposed to prohibition it is
evident that prohibition has ceased
to be an issue with the great major-
ity of American voters who now re-i
jr:-rd it as mu accomplished fact
firmly established by the clear deci-
sion of a biz majority. In certain j
sections of the country the prohibi-
tion amendment is regarded witn
considerable disfavor and candidates
ar«* using this purely local antagon-1
i<tn to further their personal ambir|
tion--. As a national issue it ha-
ceased to exist and all the ranting* j
of anti-prohibitionists in a few isol-
* ated “wet” sections will not have
the least affettt upon the general de-j
termination of the country to main-
tain the Volstead act. The days of
liquor control in state and national
politics have passed and then |
frenzied attempts in some districts 1
to again pry into politics through a •
light wines and beer camouflage is]
more ludicrous than serious.
Mexican officials contend that ]
American propaganda was responsi-
ble for the .Juarez revolt the exag-
gerated stories of the successes of
General Murgwia have led the gar-
rison to the exclusion that the fed-
eral government was liable to fall
at anv time. In this connection it
might be well to call attention to the
fact that the Associated Press and
other authentic news agencies have
sever disseminated the propaganda
of the revolutionist of the Murguia
type practically all of the sensa-
tional “news” of this character
emanating from San Antonio.
Tampico has made a successful
fight against the threatened yellow
fever epidemic the city having been
entirely cleared of the disease. Ite-
ci m rair.s added to the problems of
the health officials but a system of
drainage for the eradication of the
mosquito pest is working well and
no further spread of the disease is
anticipated. Few deaths occurred
hut the danger of an epidemic has
forcibly presented to the city the
necessity for safeguarding against
the possibility of another outbreak
of the disease.
£hose northern people who are j
bewailing the high prices of coal
and the possibility of a coal famine \
this winter should make arrange- j
nients to conn to the Valley for the
winter. The advancing prices of
fuel especially in the northwest
would make it cheaper for them to
spend the winter in the Valley where
the fuel problem will not worry them
and where they can enjoy the win-
ter in real comfort.
Much depends on the outcome of
the allied conference with the Turk
leaders at Mudania. Unless an
agreement is reached it is evident
that Europe will he plunged into an-
other war which may restllt in the
proclamation of a holy war by the
Mohammedan countries and the in-
volving of millions in a struggle 1
which would doubtless last for years.
Cameron county is practically the
only county in South Texas with art
improved highway which did not (
sustain heavy damage as a result of
recent rains. Damages in Nueces
county are estimated ch>se to $1U0-
000. and in Kleberg and Brooks the !
highways were* also s> riously darttag-
ed though not to such an extent as
in Nueces.

seems to Iwve set himself to tin* highly .

(Tiamber of <'oiiuoerce. However tin*
inf. rmatioii given in that letter rchiied
only to ilic matter of linam-iti'g sitcli work
as done mid paid for by districts but
that the state of «tregon acting through
the agency of an irrigation security mm-
iiii'-sjiiii. guarantees the intcrcsi on bonds

first five years of the life of the project

slat.' had so guoi'autced the interest
on of bonds. As an induct*
ihciit for communities to undertake tlun
kind of public cn:i*i prises. this 1:111 hardly
he regarded a> a highly moving one.
l*.*;.-ib|y the improvement districts are
enabled to s«»t| their bonds a: a higher

the faith which the slate thus expresses |
ill the feasibility of tlo* project serves j
as a recommeudat j 01 of tlo* bonds to I
prci jahlc values they are hardly great]
enough t•* make the state's co-operation
powerful as a stimulus.
The t tregon method of state aid will
not serve our need in Texas. Ii water
is to to* impounded ill this stale on the
huge scale that is desirable communities
inusi he given 11 larger premium. The
state must hear part of tlo* cost of sin-lt
works. This in The News' opinion must

determination only tin* <|Uo*tioii of what !
i> the state’s share of the rest and tlo*'
i|Ucsih*n ot how i: is to make its contri-
bution. It may make it bv direct allot-
ment nf money by direct assumption of
some part of the indebtedness incurred
or by some form of tax exemption
T exas is under a reason which Oregon
may he free of for hearing some part
*»f the cost of water impounding. This
lettsun lies in the fact that with ns
water impounding serves a double pur-
pose; that of enabling irrigation to be
practiced and tlun of preventing over-
flows. Ibnibiless this is true of I tregon
itt some degree hut hardly to the degree
that it i- of Texas. It may he said iiiat
every time a dam is huiii oit any of oitrj
streams above Waco or on any of their I
affluent tun in- however sicall the)
dam m the affluent stream tlo difficulty
and expense of preventing overflows in
the low or altitudes of the slate are re-

lion toward the eost of im|Hnuid<iig water

tribution must be made in some form
by the state as a whole for doing which

CLINTON. Iowa Oct. 4. If threats
could kill. William D. Katon never
would have lived to complete t'.l years
H- editor of and publisher of the Clin-
ton Mirror which he recently sold.
In the days when the Mirror wa* en-
Mugcd in ruthle-'ly exposing crime and
criminals. Mr. Katon was frequently
threatened with buddy injury and even
with death.
** it at 1 managed to escape them all
and live to reach a ripe old uge. said
Mr. Katon. now tL'l and for the la t few
years editor and publisher as well ns
c<-inii.'.-itor. press man. business man-
ager ur.d subscription solicitor fur his
paper. It is one of the survivors of
the days when the Washington hand
press was the acme of mechanical per
fectiun. U is till used in the Mirror
office.
Mr. Eaton until his retirement re-
garded as dean of Iowa newspapermen
began his career as a printer in Cleve-
land Ohio working for a time with Jo-
seph Med ill. inter of the Chicago Trib-
une. With II. Kellogg who subse-
quently became his father-in-law he
went west to Webster City Iowa and
then on to Cresco. where he took a
claim and built a cabin. There he mar-
ried Miss Nancy II. Kellogg on Decem-
ber 20 1K57.

October 1. lhdl. The Mirror founded in
lb.>4. has reached its t»Kth volume. At
bt. Mr. Katon remains active although
his eyesight is now defective.
A few years ago he made a trip in an
airplane and liked the experience. It
was a far cry from the days when he
came to Iowa—days when the sleeping
car was just being heard of and before
telephone* electric cars electric lights
elevators and automobiles had become
common.
