I CITY ASKS VETO
$ Measure Would Prevent Lx-

Commission Inicrmed
f -
1 A resolution bv the Brownsville
{ City commission requesting: govca-
<fnor Moody to veto senate ' .:i bo.
!. 54. recently passed bv the iegnla-
r tore was wired to the governor to-
( day following discussion of tn
. measure by the citv commission
and Harry Faulk Brownsville at-
torney.
Faulk recently called the atlen- j
turn ox Mayor A. 13 Cole to me
lact that the measure would prac-
tically prohibit extension of city
limits to include territory m any ir-
rigation drainage or other taxing
district.
The measure which is now on
the desk ot tlie ;o ernur after pa: •
mg both houses provide that tne I
city must pay from the revenues
} received all di trict i txes and flat ]
rate which in most case would be'
far in excess of the lcvenue the t:iv
would derive.
The law also provides that two
elections muH 1. held b"f< .t ad a-
tlonal territory admitted into -t
citv—one within the citv and a •xj-
aratc election within the territ.orvi
to be added with a majority vote
in each case.
The measure vis introduced
from Hidalgo county and the main
features ot the bill v ere not re-:
reived here un'11 passed by both!
houses and submitted to me gover-
nor.
Could Not 1 vtend
Under the provisions of this
measure members of the cut- coin-
mission said it would be virtually
impossible to extend the Brown -
ville city limits to include much of
the territory contemplated as such*
territory is within irrigation and {
drainage districts. The law would i
compel the citv to provide these fa-:
cihties without cost to all residents |
of such irrigation or drainage dis- *
tricts within the citv limits which
commissioners stated would be im-
possible.
Following discussion of the meas-;
lire Citv Attorney II. B. Galbrauh
was instructed to draw the re elu-
tion and forward it to Governor j
Moody bv telegraph.

j JUDGE DELAYS HER MOVIE CAREER
Movie stardom for 16-ycar-oId Helen Ruth Mann must br delayed
until her father m Texas approves it according to a ruling of Judge
Arthur Keetch of the superior court of Los Angeles Calif. It seems
that Helen had to have the court ratify her film contract before it
was legal because of her extreme youth and tlus*4r.dge refused to sign
because he objected to the clause which said her*;anager was to get
25 per cent of her earnings until she earned more than $750 a week.

FARM RELIEF
IS RIM OUT
City Federation of Women
Clubs Find Subject One
Of Politics
An attempt to line up the women
of the county and eventually those
ot the state and nation active tup-
port of farm relief legislation at
me special session of congres to be
held in April received a set-back
Thursday afternoon when the city
Federation of Women's clubs found
it outside their province to place
the matter before club women ol
the state.
The matter was presented by a-
committee representing the LI jar-
din Progress club composed of Mes-
ciames u. G. McGuire W. L. Glen-
denning and Mabel Henshaw.
Mrs. Henshaw speaking for the
El Jardin club told the federation
of the plan to rend telegrams to
President Homer on the opening of
the special session of congress in
April endorsing lus farm relief pol-
ice. and urging the passage of a
tariff on tarm products as well a
some method for price regulation.
Mrs. Henshaw' stated that the
Progress club had already voted to
send telegrams mb that' the move
had been endorsed by Brownsville
bankers and the chamber of com-
merce.
•Our present need is ome ma-
chinery for getting the matter br-
iore the women of the state and
securing their co-operation and we
hope that (he federated women's
clubs can through their organiza-
tion. bring this aoout."
Members of the federation while
expressing themselves as favoring
the idea declared that a~ an er-
renization it would be impossible to
act on the matter because of strict
constitutional regulations barring
anything of political nature from
the activities cf the federation. Mrs
Voinov Taylor suggested that put in
different form it might be possible
to take the question cut of politics
and also recommended that indi-
vidual members could sign any pe-
tition presented by the El Jardin
women.
Mrs. Jesse O. Wheeler presented
a resolution protesting against tiie
' governmental provision of $90000
for repairs anc! extensions of the
federal building which was unani-
mously endorsed by the federation
STREET MARKING IS

ville's need has been recommended

the company and erected at Ninth
and Elizabeth streets in a few days
Faulk said.
Members of the city commission
