The Press Platform For McAllen
And The Valley
1. Equitable divisions of the waters of the Rio Grande.
2. Adequate and fair prices to the citrus and vegetable growers.
3. Creation of a Valley Traffic Bureau to oppose confiscatory freight rates.
4. Unceasing work to reduce taxes and unremitting opposition to public fund plunderers.
Planks that might be well added to a platform of ambitions for McAllen and the Valley follow:
1. Greater diversification and more "living at home" on farms.
2. Scientific advertising of Texas grapefruit
3. Increased housing and entertainment facilities for tourists, including a regular assembly place for daily use.
4. A meat packing plant for McAllen.
5. Securing small factories or processing plants, based on a common sense view of the best interests of the factory investor, as well as mere community ambition.
6. An improved library, ultimately in its own home.
7. Completion of the Reynosa-Monterrey highway.
8. Creation of a city zoning commission.
9. Continuous campaign to make McAllen even more beautiful.
