TURNING BASIN
IS LENGTHENED
BY 300 FEET
V •
Three Boats Now Can
Tie Up To Wharfs
At One Time For
Loadings
An additional 300 fact will be added
lo the length of the Brownsville
taming basin making It 1300 by 1000
feet. It is indicated In a letter frem
Lieutenant Colonel E. H. Marks dis-
trict engineer to R. J. Cummins con-
sulting engineer of the Brownsville
navigation district.
The additional 300 feet of length
was in the original plan but was cut
out when bids for the dredging con-
tract were opened In order to keep
this contract within $1455000.
Dredge Contractor Willing
Colonel Marks in hi* letter states
"the pre-dredging surveys for the
Brownsville channel dredging job
have recently been completed and I
am pleased to Inform you it la In-
dicated there from that sufficient
savings will be mads cn the original
estimated yardage to enable the bas-
in to be extended in length towards
Brownsville to the length of 1500
feet originally projected.
"The dredging contractor has been
contacted informslly and haa indi-
cated that he will be willing to un-
dertake this additional work at the
contract price (8.47 cents per yard)
under supplemental agreement upon
the predication that the work can be
made continuous and without inter-
ruption."
Col. Marks set forth approval of
the PWA must be secured to the
change and it la expected this will
ha arranged immediately. The Navi-
gation district is taking the initiative
•a suggested by Colonel Marks in
getting the extension.
The additional length on the
Brownsville turning basin will make
ft posalble for three freighters to
dock at the wharves and to dis-
charge and take on eirgo at the
same time while fcur or five other
boats may be anchored In the turn-
ing bssin.
New Depth Held Up
Announcement also has been re-
ceived here in a telegram to the
Brownsville Chamber of Commerce
port committee from Senator Mor-
ris Sheppard that the U. S. Beard of
Army engineers has decided that
the additional five feet of depth on
the Brownsville channel and also
•ought by the Port Isabel port “Is
not advisable or necessary at this
time."
Senator Sheppard quote* Oeneral
Plllsbury who recently nude a visit
here as stating “he and the beard
believe that some additional com-
merce must develop before additional
depth la granted. He states that he
and the board have the greatest
faith In the project and believe
that later It will Justify a greater
depth. I will continue to cooperate
tn behalf of the project.”
AMENDMENTS
(Continued from Page One)
psychopathic hospital at Galves-
ton and developed psychopatic
units at some state Insane hos-
pitals.
Another amendment would dele-
gate to trial judges subject to
restrictions Imposed by the leg-
islature authority to place per-
sons convicted of law violation on
probation by suspension of sen-
tences.
The existing suspended sentence
law. based on implied constitu-
tional authority permitted sus-
pension of aentenoes of first-
offenders upon recommendation
bv the trial Jury. Another re-
striction denied the benefit to
persons convicted of certain crimes.
A new section would be added
by the amendment to provisions
of the constitution delegating
clemency power to the governor.
Transfer of the authority to
suspend sentences adding the
power to reimpose sentences from
the Jury to the Judge was the
intent of the amendment by
which authors contemplated an |
effective probation system could
be developed.
Gerald C. Mann secretary* of
state said in an explanation of
the proposal;
"Many courts now refuse to
grant suspended sentences for the
reason that they have no control
over the defendant after the same
tc granted. It Is pointed out that
tnis would prevent many first of- 1
fenders from having to go Into
the penitentiary and reclaim them
for society."

Mrs. W. R. Jones Is
Lions Club Speaker
A reminiscence of Brownsville 25
years ago was given members of the
lions dub at luncheon Tuesday by
Mrs. W. R. Jones long-time res-
ident of this section.
Conditions of Brownsville streets
and side-walks were contrasted
with those of the present day and
regret waa expressed by Mrs. Jones
that portions of the old eponv side-
walks then existing were not pre-
served for attractions today.
The old board walk extending
from about where the Missouri
Pacific station now stands to the
bridge crossing the river into Mata-
moros. was pictured as one of the
wonders of the Valley wares and
trades of several countries being
on exhibition according to Mrs
Jones.

How Would Inheritance Levies AffectFord?

The giant Ford Motor company now a purely fam-
ily enterprise probably would pass partly into the
hands of other investors through operation of high
inheritance levies proposed in the administration
tax bill according to the U. S. Bureau of Internal
Revenue. Robert H. Jackson general counsel of
the bureau contends: “The effect of the proposed
taxes would be to convert what is now a family
industry into a widely-owned one and to permit
the public to share in the future earnings of an
enterprise to the building of which public patron-
age has made a substantial contribution. The Ford
report to the Massachusetts commissioner of corpo-
rations indicated a Ford net worth of $600000000.
Edsel B. Ford only son of Henry Ford acquired
41H per cent of the outstanding stock of the
Ford Motor company In 1919. Edsel has already
received an interest in the company now worth
on the balance sheet $246000000. This is not
touched by inheritance or estate taxes. The 59
per cent of the stock held by Henry Ford has a
value estimated at $354000000. The house bill
intended to cover most normal estates stops grad-
uation entirely at $10000000 and the Ford estate
on these figures would be 85 times the point at
which graduation of rates ceases. If the estata
passes by inheritance it will have escaped all sur-
taxes." Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of Mich-
igan contends however that the new tax would
throw the Ford enterprise into the hands of Wall
Street making it “a speculative football’V-Wall

KNOX OUTLINES
ANTI PLATFORM
GOP Aspirant Goes Down
List Opposing
New Deal
HAMPTON BEACH N. H. Aug.
'14. W)—Drawing upon the 1932 dem-
ocratic platform for six planks Col-
onel Frank Knox possible republi-
can presidential candidate . In 1936
Wednesday outlined a party platform
which he .declared represented “the
utter repudiation by Rcoeevelt and
his New Deal administration of
sacred promises.”
Presenting the planks In answer
to President Roosevelt's “reiterated
demand for a substitute program ’
the Chicago and Manchester N. H.
newspaper publisher recommended
for adoption by his party a num-
ber of plat a “taken literally from
the democratic platform of 1932.”
“The represent principle upon
which all those opposed to the radi-
calism of President Roosevelt can
support the republican party •••/*
he declared.
Colonel Knox in an address pre-
pared for delivery before the annual
outing of the Rcckingham County
Republican Club suggested that the
following planks be included In the
next republican platform:
“1.—An immediate and drastic re-
duction of governmental expendi-
tures.
”2.—Maintenance of the national
credit by a federal budget annually
balanced.
3—A sound currency to be pre-
served at all hazards.
”4—Unemployment and dd age In-
surance under state laws.
‘‘5—Btrict and impartial enforce-
ment of the anti-trust laws to pre-
vent monopoly end unfair trade
practices.
*‘6.—Opposition to the unsound
policy of restricting agricultural
production.”
Colonel Knox aald he not only
recommended those principles for
adoption by his party but he urged
"tlie precise language in which 1.
have read them.”
‘•This is important" he said "be-
cause they are taken literally from
the democratic platform of 1932.
'They represent the principles
upon which all those opposed to
the radicalism of President Roose-
velt can support the republican par-1
ty and they represent in every;
single instance the utter repudia-
tion by Rooeevelt and his New Deal
administration of sacred promises
upon the basis of which he procured
his election.
"It is almost altruism to say that I
had he openly repudiated these
fundamentally sound principles
prior to November. 1932 he would
not have been elected president of
the United States.
"• • • It Is a lack of trustworthi-
ness and loyalty to pledged word
and principle that has created an
' universal lack of confidence In the
acmlnlstration by the entire Amer-
ican business community.
•‘Ever since June of 1932: every
single industrial nation in the world
has been showing steady improve-
ment in business and Industrial
conditions. We alone who should
have led. have lagged in the proces-
sion and even Canada and Mexico
have outstripped us and England
' loyal to economic verities recognized
ay Impartial economists the world
abound has led in the prosperity
parade.
“Out of the calloused indifference
of the Roosevelt administration to
its pledges to the public we can
and must construct a program of
economic fundamentals and pro-
vide convincing evidence of our
sincerity."
