ROLL CALL IS
LAUNCHED HERE
Brownsville people are responding
generously In the annual roll call of
the Brownsville Red Cross chapter J
it ht* been announced by W. O.
Washington chairman.
Headquarters have been establish-
ed in the Miller Radio Shop on Eli-
sabeth street and volunteer work-
ers are canvassing the city for an-
nual donations. People wishing to
contribute who have not been
leached by the workers can make
their donations at the roll call bead-
quarters
The services rendered by the Red
Cross are many fold according to
Rev. O. C. Crow chairman of the
roll call drive. Regular work in-
cludes first aid classes nursing
classes the furnishing of milk to
under-nourished children clothing
for children medicine and ice for
the sick beds for the poor trans-
portation for the stranded and
many others.
Its most spectacular work of
course is that in disaster sones.
Last season the Red Cross worked
in 78 domestic disasters in which
119.000 sufferers were aided. The
Hational Red Cross has 36.000 volun-
teer nurses available for use in
emergencies.
The organization also furnishes
many services to the army and
navy.
COTTON PLAN
(Continued Prom Page One)
duction domestically consumed
the amount of subsidy to represent
the difference in “parity price" an-
* nounced by the Secretary of Agri-
* culture and the daily average
*. price of ten designated spot mar-
kets on the grade and staple of
cotton for which the farmer re-
ceives a subsidy. The parity price
or subsidy to be paid only on the
* domestic consumption percentage
* of the established production basis
The proposed subsidy would in
v effect be an inverted tariff ex-
tending to agriculture benefits slm-
; liar to those received by manufac-
. turers through the operation of im-
* port tariffs. j
The establishment of a production
‘ basis on each farm and placing of
the farmer In a position to equitably
* participate in the part parity price
* benefits would be optional with the
fanner not compulsory and those
* farmers not desiring to have their
» production basis established so that
* they may receive a subsidy would
* be unmolested and left wtth all
* their “rugged individualism” and
* “personal liberties” which they en-
- Joy today and have the same mar-
* ket for their products they enjoy
* today and have enjoyed in the past.
The money with which to pay the
* cotton farmer a subsidy or parity
* price would be collected by the
* federal government through a pro-
cessing tax such a* now in exls-
tenet
To protect American spinners a
* compensator}- flexible tariff would
be employed similar to the tariffs
now being used to protect other
American Industries.
Needs No Appropriation
* . The plan requires no appropria-
tion of federal funds; its adminis-
tration would be inexpensive and
I self supporting.
American spinners converting
* cotton into cloth to be sold in for-
* eign markets would not be required
* to pay the processing tax. Such
. cotton would be spun under bond.
* similar in manner by which Can-
adian wheat is milled under bond by
* American wheat millers.
* The plan provides for a sufficient
number of adjustment committees
I in each county to make the neces-
sary production basis adjustments
» permitting any addit'ona) land to
* come into cotton production. After
* establishing production basis on any
* farm the farmer. 1? he chooses
l may plant his enUre farm In cot-
* tor. and ra._e twice Ids production
» bans but h*» would be permitted tq
receive a subsidy on only the dom-
* estic consumption percentage of his
established production basis. For
example: If » farm has established
production basis of 100 bales and
the domestic coosumpticn was
placed at 40%. then the farmer
would be entitled to a subsidy on
40 bales regardless of the amount
* produced on that'farm.
Establishment of production basis
would protect one farmer from an-
other Those having high produc-
* tion costs could produce if they
desired only that amount upon
which they would be entitled to a
parity price leaving the production
. of cotton for foreign markets
which would not be entitled to a
* subsidy to those sections having
* low production costs.
Backers of the plan point out
that without a program subsidizing
the cotton farmer he must produce
cotton in competition with foreign
l growths produced with cheap labor.
* or reduce his living standards to
* those of the foreign pauper. If the
American cotton grower is com-
Etiled to reduce his standards of
vlng in order U. meet foreign com-
petition then Industry must suffer
decrease in business which would
be disastrous.
It is believed the bill could ap-
. pjy to all agricultural products and
r come think it would be wise to ap-
[ piy the idea to aU major agricul-
turai crops at the same time giv-
• tag growers an opportunity to de-
cide which he should grow.
Suggestions and other plans are
. being solicited by those interested
* in seeing the Bankhead Law. which
* caused much dissension replaced
* by one believed to be of greater
. benefit to the grower.

strenuously denied since the mo-
ment of his arrest that he had any-
thing to do with his wife’s disap-
pearance or death.

most dramatic murder trials in the
history of the Lower Rio Gmade
Valley he was found guilty and

circumstantial evidence.

November 23 after receipt of the
appellate court's mandate.

Island that predatory fish caught in
drag seines are not killed.
5. That most of those testifying
have quit fishing at Port Isabel and
go to Mexico or Redfiah bay.
Near the conclusion of the hear-
ing the Valley people present were
aaked by the commute if they would
be satiafied if the present law were
enforced. Most oi them said they
would.
Cecil S&rmuth of Harlingen offer-
ed to take any member of the legis-
lative committee out ‘any day in
the week” and show him seines be-
ing dragged ‘and if I don t I’ll pay
your expenses here and back.”
One member of the committee
Conde H. Hoskins said. “I know it
is true the law is being violated.”
Chairman Pat Jefferson of Ban
Antonio was in charge of the hear-
ing .and was introduced by August-
line Celaya Cameron county repre-
sentative.
Justice of the Peace W. G. Fields
of Harlingen presided for the Val-
ley people and called first mi John
Prentiss San Benito attorney.
Telia of Practices
Prentiss said he has lived in the
Valley 24 years and that fishing
now at Port Isabel Is "nothing like
as good as it used to be. I don’t
go to Port Isabel now but go to
Mexico.”
He said he had watched the
"round-up of thousands of good fish
in seines. They take an iron spike
and pick out the good fish In the
pickets and turn carloads of bad
fish buck into the water alive ”
He told of three friends from
Central Texas coming here intent-
ly and spending from $50 to $73
each going fishing in Mexico because
there is "no fishing left at Port
Isabel”
"I am looking at this from the
point of view of the masses not
the few.” hetsaid
AI Parker of La Feria spoke next
He said he was acquainted with
fishing in this section for 24 years
and declared the people of Harlin-
Sn "feel they have an Interest In
is waterway and that they wUl
be a part of it.”
I'll pay your expenses here and
back.*
Hoskins asked “What will be the
effect on Port Isabel if the bay is
dosed" Carruth said “City will
have more fish and more fishermen
and It will help the town."
Carruth then declafed that “you
have seen two page advertisements
signed by Port Isabel merchants
favoring the nets. I know person-
ally of two of those merchants
and I've heard of several others
who are In favor of closing the
bay. They told me they thought it
would be better for Port Isabel to
do so but for diplomatic reasons
signed the ads."
Carruth said that he knew about
25 Harlingen fishermen who form-
erly went to Port Isabel to fish
and who now go to Redfish Bay
and most of those who talked later
said they had made the change.
Verified by Larson
J. O- Larson caretaker of Green
Island bird preserve said he
could verify Camith'a statements
about seines being dragged.
He said he had closed waters
within a mile of Oreen Island
last year to semes and that “I
have never seen better fishing in
my life than we had there this
year. You could go out there with
a pole and line and in half an
hour catch a remarkable string of
fish.
“I am not saying you should
close or should not* he saM “but
why penalise Cameron county all
the time In favor of the bays
above here?"
He said he eould have caught
100 to 150 pounds of fish a day
during the summer in that dosed
area.
At this point Carruth said he
had been going to Green Island
for five yean and that this year
the first time the waters were
closed to seines was the first time
he had caught any fish there.
Larson said there were not many
predatory fish there when asked
’bout how many predatory fish
the seiners kill and declared “It’s
all foolishness to think a fisher-
man is going to stop and kill 200 or
300 catfish.” Hie said they take
out the good fish and turn the
predatory fish loose.
—
of men a year and fine them"
Fields said and then the seining
continues.
Hoskins asked Carruth If the
situation here wasn't the same as
game law violators. Carruth de-
clared "The situation is differ-
ent because no other place in
Texas has an Industry' which boasts
it $250006 annual payroll been built
up on illegal fishing.*
Caruth said in his opinion 1000
persons could make a living in the
Laguna Mad re and at Port Isabel
If the seines and nets were re-
moved.
There was considerable discus-
sion of proposals to close the bay
during the spawning season and
about methods which might be
used to enforce the law. Chairman
Jefferson told of officers In the
Corpus Christ! area flying over
seiners end taking photographs of
them as they look up. At this point
Hanson created considerable amuse-
ment by declaring: “Mr. Chair-
man. you have tipped the com-
mercial fishermen off They will go
back and tell every fisherman when
he sees an airplane coming to
dive In the water."
Most of those present agreed that
If the present law were enforced
rigidly and a closed season main-
tained. that they would be satis-
fied—but expressed the belief that
the only law which can and will
ever be enforced la one barring all
seines and nets.
A number of other Harlingen
men were called on. telling of
fishing * in Redfish Bay. and of
seeing seines being dragged.
The committee will leave Friday
for Ban Antonio to hold a meet-
ing with the Isaac Walton League
and will then proceed to Austin
to hold its formal meeting and
make its report.

Police Radio Here
Several short tests were run on
KOHT. the Brownsville police short

Force Price Down
C. W Hanson gill net flaher-
man at Port Isabel said that the
only reason that gill net fisher-
men can not make a living Is be-
| cause the price of fish Is pushed
down by the seine dragsters. He
said when the law against seines
was passed all the* fish houses
bought gill nets and supplied the
boats. These nets were soon worn
out by draggin and then the fish
houses started buying regular drag
; seines he said
"I am talking from experience”
Hanson said. ‘T know every fish-
erman at Port Isabel and have
been on their boats. We want to
fish legally but we cant compete
with the draz seines.”
J. H Stockton of La Peria spoke
against clo&ing the Laguna Madre.
declaring that it would raise the
price of fish to the consumers of
Texas
Justice Fields then asked all
those who had seen seines being
dragged in the Laguna Madre to
stand and a considerable number
estimated at 25 to 30. stood
He was asked by the committee
if he had ever taken any action to
get the law enforced. He said he
had written Game Commissioner
Tucker who wrote back that they
s had a warden at Port Isabel and
i were trying to enforce It.

LUCKY
GIRL
‘Majority Favor* Closing
Parker declared he was convinced
that from 80 to 90 per cent ol the
people of Cameron county are in
favor of closing the Laguna Madre
and declared “I can’t believe this
commission and our representative
Mr. Augustine Celaya would act
on this without taking into con-
sideartion the wishes of 80 to 90
per cent of our people. ’
Parker said yaars ago the Ltguna
Madre was one of the outstanding
fishing spots on the coast and it
would be today if nets and seines
were barred.
George Butler of Bryan member
of the committee questioned the
80 to 90 per cent in favor of closing
it. asking “isn't it a fact that Mr
Paulk ran for representative on a
proposition of closing this bay and
game out third or fourth?”
Parker said he has seen seme
dragged and declared they killed
a quantity of small fish He said
Red fish bay has improved 500 per
cent since seines were barred there.
Carruth said that he has been
fishing in the Laguna Madre for
five years and said ‘ just recently
six of us stood on Green Island
and counted seven crews of fisher-
men dragging seines.”
“I saw them bring in one drag
where they crossed the seines and
brought in about IC00 pounds of
fine reds and trout dragging right
over the spawning grounds.
“I have been seeing them seining
for five years. They are not caught
and are not prosecuted. They have
one privilege there and they abuse
it by dragging seines.” Carruth aaid
the fishermen now get from one to
three cents a pound for fish and
that he has seen the time when
they received ten cents.
At this point J. H. Schmidt fish
dealer at Port Isabel said that
the annual payroll to fishermen at
Port Isabel was estimated at $250.-
IMA
If anyone in your family is Ml
occasionally sluggish or ronsti- -
paled; especially any child you 1
should know this medical truth:
You cannot get safe relief with
any medicine if you cannot regulate
the dose. And to regulate dosage
you should have a liquid laxative.
With a liquid laxative you can
gradually reduce the dose. And that
is the secret of safe relief from
a sluggish constipated condition.
Why Doctors Use
LlgiaM Laxatives
A liquid laxative can be measured.
Its action can be thus controlled. If
properly made of natural laxative
elements like senna and cascara
it forms no habit — even in the
youngest child. And such a laxative
will help the bowels to help them

Dr. Hill to End
Revival Friday
Crowds grow larger as Dr. P. B.
Hill nears the close of his stay In
Brownsville. The largest crowd of
the week heard his message Wed-
nesday night on “The Certainties of
the Faith.’ Dr. Hill pointed out
that we are living In a world of
mystery and uncertainty. It la
also true that there are many
things about the Bible and the
Providence of Ood that we do not
understand but there are aome
things that we can know about j
religion he said. We can know
Christ; we can know that our sine j
have been forgiven; and we know
that in the groat plan of God
“that all things work together for *
good to them that love God" he
declared.
Dr. Hill will preach again Thurs-
day night at the Pirst Presbyterian
church at 7:30 o'clock. He will ekwe
his meeting hero Friday night with
a special message on “What Pres-
byterians Believe” This is not a
controversial message states Dr.
Hill but a simple discussion of the
truths emphasised by the Presby-
terian church.
His message at the Queen theater
Thursday was “The Pour Anchors.**
He will conclude his nrxm-day meet-
