Houston and the Valley
It has been a long long time since a Goodwill party
has visited the Valley from Houston too long In fact.
But the fact that years have elapsed since a similar
party came to our midst does not dim the welcome
the Valley extends to the 60 odd business and profea-
atonal men of Houston who are scheduled to arrive
here Wednesday night and spend Thursday and part
of Friday in the Valley territory.
For If Houston has not sent a goodwill party to the
Valley for years nevertheless during those same
years Houston has been working hand and hand with
the Valley in seeking the consummation of the com-
munity of interests that are binding Houston closer
to the Valley and the Valley closer to Houston.
It has taken some tune for both parties to realize
Just how closely our destinies are bound together but
with the realization good work has been accom-
plished
Perhaps It is an old story but the work that has
been done in Houston and by Houston Interests on
the Matamoros-Victoria highway stands out as most
effective and there can be no doubt but that recent
progress reported on plans tor that road is the di-
rect result of Houston’s energetic efforts.
Away back yonder at the instigation of Monty’s
Monthly' Houston staged a “Valley Fruit and Veget-
able Week ” and since that time Houston has been
most conscious of the Valley's product* and has done
everything within Its power to promote the sale of
our citrus fruit.
Houston has backed the fight for the completion
of the Hug-the_Coast Highway and the building of
the unfinished strip through Kenedy County. The
late Judge W. O. Huggins In fact led this fight for
a number of years and his co-worker. Col. Ike
Aahburn Is carrying on where Judge Huggins left off.
Many are the examples which might be cited of
the sympathetic interest felt In Houston toward the
Valley an interest which is just beginning to be
generally felt over the Valley.
May the good work continue and may the bonds
that bind Texas' largest city to the Valley be in.
creased and tightened as the years roll on!
And Auto Licenses
Automobile licenses for the year 1935 may be pur-
chased now and cannot be purchased after March
31 without payment of penalty unless one can cer-
tify that the automobile concerned has not been in
use
Tax collectors are reporting very few sales of
lioenses indicating that the last minute rush is go-
ing to be just &i intense as In the years when January
31 was the deadline for payments.
You will be saving yourself a tedious wait In line
and easing the work of the tax collector’s force If
you get your license now.
Bankhead Law Sense
Exemption from the workings of the Bankhead
Law of farmers whose cotton crop totals two bales or
less sounds sensible and will no doubt please a goodly
number of Cameron and Hidalgo county farmers who
are accustomed to plant five acres or less of the
Staple.
Many a Valley farmers was seriously affected last
season when be found that the Bankhead Law was
a virtual confiscation of his small crop for he had
not thought It necessary to Include his usual minute
acreage under the cotton acreage reduction program.
The ruling recently announced by Secretary Wal-
lace will suit these fanners nicely and will work no
hardship on those who plant the larger acreage*.
Brownsville's Charity Home
A “Tag Day" that will meet with most sympathetic
response in Brownsville is that scheduled for Satur-
day. March 16 when efforts wlH be made to raise
funds for our Charity Home
No Brownsville Institution Is more deserving of
monetary aid none has done a finer and more sym-
pathetic work throughout the yean than the Charity
Home; and perhaps none has labored under greater
difficulties.
Ever ready to extend the helping hand to the un-
fortunate within our midst the Charity Home has
carried on under circumstances far from encourag-
ing. The effort of the Charity Home to raise funds
this coming Saturday should and we are sure will
be most successful.
Delinquent Tax Payment*
Again we remind those whose taxes are delinquent
for the years 1933 and prior thereto that If possible
to pay these taxes on or before March 13. Friday
they will save interest and penalty assessments.
This ruling applies to all taxes state and county
city school districts of any kind.
If possible to get the money together a sizable
saving may be effected in many instances.
Science Begins Curing
Retina Detachment
By OR. MORRIS ITSHBEIN
Editor. Journal of the American Medical Association
and of Hytceia. the Health Magazine
Among the most serious of the conditions which
may affect the human eye is detachment of the
retina.
The retina is a tissue at the back of the eyeball
which apparently receives the images focused upon
It by the lens of the eye and passes them to the op-
tic nerve so that they will be suitably recorded by
the brain. Under certain circumstances this tissue
may become detached which results promptly in loss
of vision.
Recently two New York investigator* have discuss-
ed the results of an operation performed In 150
cases for the cure of detachment of the retina. This
operative procedure Is a great advance In medical
art because previously there was thought to be no
i hope for such cases and most of them passed on to
permanent blindness.
This condition usually afflicts men slightly more
than women to the extent of about 60 per cent of
males and 40 per cent of females. Usually it affect*
older rather than vounger people but a case ha*
been recorded in a child 5 years old. The average
age is 40 year*.
• • •
Cases of detachment of the retina also are recorded
In persons as old a* 75.
In a considerable number of case«. detachment of
the retina seems to follow an injury of some sort.
One case is reported in which the retina became de-
tached following an attempt by a rather elderly man
to cure his headaches by vibrating his skull with an
electric vibrator.
Most of the operative procedure now used involve
application of chemical cauterizing substances or
else application of heat for purposes ot cauterization.
The subsequent scairlng causes the retina again to
become attached to the field In which It "hould lie.
• • •
The New York observers operated on 155 eyes. The
condition was either Improved or cured in 47J per
cent and failure resulted in 52.2 per cent. This ob-
viously is a great advance over the previous situation
in which blindness almost Inevitably resulted from
detachment of the retina.
Eevn after successful operation* there was tempo-
rarily some impairment of the field of vision. The
greater the amount of detachment of the retina the
less was the likelihood of complete recovery.
More and more modem scientific surgery is finding
opportunity to aid some of the intractable afflictions
of mankind. Such diseases are pernicious anemia and
Addison's disease formerly Invariably fatal are now
being brought under control.
Because of the existence of cancer surgeons have
been able to remove successfully an entire lung or
one-half of the brain.
Operations performed upon the eyes are among the
most delicate of all procedures carried out by the
modern surgeon and yet today 6ight is being saved
for a tremendous number of people by use of these
methods.

The World
At a Glance
BY LESLIE EICHEL
(Central Press Staff Writer)
NEW YORK. March 1J.—This is
a day we shan devote to correspond-
ents. acme of wnom spank the writ-
er (which should delight the read-
ers).
H. E Kockary of Elyria O. be-
lieves the writer is inaccurate on the
single tax.
Says Mr. Kochary;
"In one of your columns some
time ago—about the latter part of
October. 1934—you stated that the
single tax 's based cn free and un-
restricted international trade.’ Non-
seme. The single tax is based on
taxing of land (and land ouly) to
the amount of its full rental value
International trade <or anv kind of
trade) has no more to do with it
than the numoer of light years the
star Sirius is distant from the earth.
"Then in your column of Feb. 23.
you stated ... legal confiscation of
excess property values. That is the
single taxer's method of equalizing
wealth and Income.’ Tnls last sure
takes the cake. Buildings of all kinds
are proi*rty as well as machinery
railroads merchandise etc. But all
of these the single tax would exclude
from any tax whatever. Land only
would be taxed and that to its full
rental value.
"Then the last half of your quoted
sentence—’This is the single taxer s
method of equalizing wealth and in-
come Of all people the smg.e taxer
recognizes that you cannot equalize
wealth and—or Income that people
are NOT bom equal ... But what
the sing.e taxer WOULD do is to
bring about conditions such that
everyone would receive the full re-
ward lor his or her labor the re-
ward being commensurate with thei
value of the labor pf course
"Why don't you read Progress &'
Poverty’ by Henry George ?’’
We hare—approximately 50 times.!
but maybe wed better re-read it
and report.
College Education
Robert L. Barnes of Nashville.
Term. agrees that colleges cannot
develop |emus. He approves ot a re-
cent statement ot ours that colleges
claim too much when as some da
hey say they can train a person to
write fcr any sort of publication.
Says Mr. Barnes:
“The biggest proportion of young
oeople today have a fine education
trora books only—but actually they
still are ignorant. They can't make
a living ...
“No genius ever was born in a col-
lege cr school mcst of them came
through hard work ...
“I stlli think the tax situation Is
the one thing that will help us all .. •
Mr. Roosevelt and only he Is In
position to set the right kind o. tax-
ation Into motion and I think he
may get around to It some time ...
There should be only one form of
taxation—the government to collect
all the tax and distribute to the
states their proportionate share ..."
F. D. R. As Conservative
A Massachusetts editor writes:
“Rcbert Lincoln O'Bflen chair-
man of the United States tariff com-
mission. spoke here last night. I
quote the first paragraph of a story
In our paper today:
* Warning against the rtstn?
surge ot radicalism In the United
States sounding a fear that Huey
Long. Dr. Townsend and Father
Coughlin followers might unite into
one party in the threatening swing
to the left. Mr. O'Brien declared
that In the next presidential elec-
tion the majority of the republicans
might find themselves voting for the
re-election of President Roosevelt
as a conservative’."
Tc which a New York newspaper
mm. writing to us adds:
“There Is a wild rumor floating
around that Roosevelt Intends to set
up a dictatorship If Long-Coughlln-
Townsend. et al start running away
with things.
"A man I believe to be close to
General Smedley Butler told me
Butler expects to become the savior
of the country as a sort of constitu-
tional messlah. and that some really
startling outbursts may be expected
from the general. He already his
accused Roosevelt of aiding and
abetting Fascist plotters you know."

Undermining Relict
A relief worker in Cleveland
writes:
"Shall we the youth of America
continue to pay homage to the ideal-
ism and morality held up to us as
something to which we should re-
main steadfast In this period of flux
while the most vehement preach-
ers are the first to betray it?
"The latest move of Governor
Martin L. Davey of Ohio disheartens
one. Scarcely three months after
pledging not to molest the FERA
setup In Ohio the governor has mov-
ed to sabotage the last county In
which his mlluenee has not been
pushed. He now moves to discharge
wholesale a staff of highly trained
efficient social relief workers In or-
der to make room for political ap-
pointees ...
"Davey who blocked attempts to
make the Jobs civil service controlled
is trying to make room for his hench-
men. miny of them iliterate. men-
tally speaking. He recently fired
two state relief directors acknow-
ledged among the best in the na-
tion. Davey is seeking to build up a
personal polllical •chine."

WASHINGTON
By GEORGE DURNO
FTying — Harry Hop kina figure* to
be President Roosevelt's right hand
man In administering the proposed
new work relief program if 3 and 3
add up correctly to make 4.
When the White House needed ad-
vice badly the other day on strategy
for the senate fight. Federal Relief
Administrator Hopkins was out In
the central states on s brief speaking
tour. A phone call brought him fly-
ing back here and five of the ap-
pearances on his schedule were can-
celled.
Public Works Administrator Har-
old Ickes. who handled the original
$3300000000 fund was sitting right
here in Washington at the time. He
saw the president also during the
final period before the $4886000000
measure was brought up again but
It may readily be seen how badly
Hopkins’ counsel was wanted.
• • •
r. W. A.—Shifting a greater
part of direct responsibility for
handling the unemployed ohto Hop-
kins could be done without giving
Ickes any public black eye.
As the answer to Senator Byrd's
resolution demanding information
will show there Is still over a billion
dollars cf the original $3300000000
actuals- to be spent. Watching a bil-
lion dollars Is a fair sized Job in
Itself but also remember Ickes is
Secretary of Interior
While Ickes is kept busy as a man
should be completing the first phase
of public works. Mr. Roosevelt will
need someone else to administer the
bulk of the new schedule. The Fed-
eral Emergency Relief Administra-
tion goes out of exist :mce under that
name — in May. Washington has
yet to hear any rumors that Hopkins
was going also. Mr. Roosevelt is ex-
pected to establish a new agency in
place of the old. using the same per-
sonnel possibly calling It the Fed-
eral Works Authority.
• • •
Errors — Admlntstratlonltes from
the White House down got a terri-
fic shock the other morning when
they read in many newspapers that
the relief rolls had Jumped to em-
brace 22.375.000 persons. The actual
figures of 20.500.000 is bad enough
What happened was that Deputy |
Relief Administrator Aubrey Wil-
liams told two reporters there were
5.400.000 cases on the dole. Although
Williams cautioned them not to con-
fuse oases with families this mistake
was made. The erroneous total was
"abled abroad where it occasioned
much comment.
The government figures 4 to a
family In arriving at relief totals.
Williams’ visitors multiplied 5 400.000
by 4 and then added in T75.000 more
that being the last previous figure
available on single persons on relief
rolls.
^ctuilly included In Williams’ 5.-
400.000 cases had been 4.603.000 fam-
ily heads and 840.000 single persons
•mw 300 000 drought relief families
balance the grand total. He probab-
ly won’t use the term ’ cases’’ again.

Friction — Under the serene ex-
terior of Secretary "Uncle Dan” Ro-
oer’s Department of Commerce —
that same agency Herbert Hoover

—Arlval factions of sub-officials nr-
reptltiously are nulling and hauling
at one another tn a way that even-
tually promises to be felt in the busi-
ness world.
Smiling faces and brisk attention
to the wants of American business
men are concealing a lot of family
friction that will work Into a noisy
blow-off If somebody doesn’t Jiggle
the safety valve pretty soon.
A number of Department of Com-
merce employes are more concerned
at the moment over whether their
Jobs are going to hold than they are
In official business.

Ewing Y. Mitchell. Is said to be de-
fying the efforts of associates to ease
him out of the picture. Mitchell Is
reported reliably to have been of-
fered a European post but refused It
because he recognized It as the way
upstairs.
Bureau chiefs are chaffing because
they are given no say In the selection
of their personnel even when men
with particular technical qualifica-
tions are needed
As In the case of NRA discussed
yesterday minor employes are get-
ting Jittery too. They quake with

to decide which boss's coat-tail pro.
