A CITY MANAGER

The Service Club is performing timely service
to this city in bringing here on Monday the man
who is given the largest share of credit for establish
ing the city manager form of government in Cincin-
natl
Citizens OF Indianapolis should be greatly inter
ested In the working OF this plan and in the results
which have been obtained in what was once as ma
chine burdened and abused city as is this.
Each day brings additional evidence that this
city needs relief from the political government which
exists.
The recent cemetery episode and the hasty re-
treat of majority of the council is but one of many
incidents which should indicate that no property and
no interest is safe in the hands of men VINO make
business Of politics and who mix their politics. and
perhaps something else with their official viewpoint
The document fled by Mayor Duval against
member of the park board. rehearsIng innumerabe
acts which he charges to former administration is
in itself an indictment of the system Of government
as well as the member toward whom IT is directed
Instead of business administration of affairs.
the present system lends itself the political pur
poses Of the we'll organized machine bipartisan in
its nature which really controls all city affairs.
The cost to the people Of this political manage
ment of municipal affairs is enormous
The cost to individuals whose property interests
are sacrificed is even enormous
Any store or bank factory run on the same
basis would be in the hands of receiver in month
While no system of government is self-operatins
and will not Of itself bring relief the tests of the
city manager plan in the large cities thus far have
shown that the people have better chance of escape
from the mismanagement, which always accompanies
political use Of public offices than under the system
in operation in Indianapolis.
Let it be hoped that this message from Cincin-
natl will be heard by who Interested in help
ing this city throw off its shackles Of politics and ma
chine government
OF course the best argument for city manager
is being given daily by the present administration
OF affairs.

tons against campaign lies, except in the ntelli-
gence Of the voter.
Every has right to accept untruth and act
upon It, Every has a right to be fooled often
they please.
The grave charge made by high official of this
State Is that political dictator uses his power to
impose upon those who trust him, abuse their con-
fdence and trust to destroy their Constitution.
The truth or falsity of that charge should be de-
termined to the full satisfaction of every or
woman who has ever given moments consdera-
ton to his recommendations

GIRL FROM THE MILLS

In any cotton mill town you see them, girls,
mostly young, some of them pretty some wanfaced,
many Indifferent. For most of them, it seems there
isn't much to look forward to, except perhaps mar
riage to get out of the mills The alternative for the
great majority is to work and on until they be-
come cooress cogs in the great cotton machine.
Now and then Of these girls gets out of the
mills and a in the world The story
of her triumph over gray environment is always re-
freshing
Jennette Brown came from Russia when she was
10 years old She worked in the mills at Lawrence,
Mass until she was IA But she went to night school
after her day Of labor at the mill and gave her mind
a chance. Her parents took her to Boston Here
she worked in a candy factory. At 16 she was
married. At % Nine. Jennette Gair was left PEN
niless widow with three children.
She worked. saved, studied, learned Eighteen
years ago, by dint Of superhuman effort she had
enough to open small hat shop back in Lawrence
She scrmped and studied
Twelve years ago she heard of Palm Beach She
moved her hat shop to Florida She paid $3.50 for
lot and sold 1t year later for 81 600. During the
last year and half in Palm Beach her real estate
sales above $5O00,000.
For cog in a cotton machine that's doing pretty
well.
Trying to look down upon those above us is
quite strain
Some of the spring hats look almost good
enough to eat
Speaking of Scotch is much difncult than
drinking It.
The who slaps every one on the back
eventually seems to strike it lucky.
Some men so brave they will go and get mar
ried right While women are buying spring clothes.
These the days the golfers are out after
the early brides.
Trouble with having grouchy look is you sell
dom get pleasant one.

Why can't one see through sheet
metal and other like substances1

Because such substances do not
have the characteristic OF being
transparent. This simply means
that their chemical composition and
atomic structure are such that
light rays do not penetrate them,
but on the contrary are stopped and
turned back by them.

SOLUTION SEEN

c A s { s
Issues Can Be Validated by
Legislature, Opinion
Sets Forth.

AUSTIN, April 2.-CP-valida,
ton of Texas road district bonds, in
volving approximately S100,000,000
may be accomplished BY the State
Legislature, an opinion made public
last night by Attorney General Dan
Moody states. The opinion was writ.
ten by Assistant Attorney General
Charles A. Wheeler at the request OF
Lieutenant Governor Barry Miller,
and approved by the attorney gen
eral.
When restricted by the legislation,
the Legislature may legalize unauth-
orized acts and proceedings Of sub
ordinate municipal agencies, where
such acts and proceedings will have
been valid if done under legislative
sanction previously given, the opinion
holds, adding that a special session
OF the Legislature called by the gov
ernor may legalize such unauthorized
acts.
SPECIAL SESSION.
In answer TO the query whether the
Legislature could validate bonds de-
creed unconstitutional by the United
States Supreme Court, the opinion
states that legislation may be passed
at a special session, provided such
legislation is designated in the proc
lamation of the governor calling such
session or presented to them by the
governor"
1T is our opinion that the Legis-
lature of Texas has the power 10 vail
al -
tricts and TO validate such bonds, II
in fact, they are invalid" the opin-
ion reads. Several authorities sus-
tanned Mr.. Wheeler in this conclusion.
No BONDS NAMED.
No outstanding Texas road district
bonds were declared invalid by the
United States Supreme Court de-
cision. the opinion says. 1t states
that the Archer county suit was one
timely brought TO prevent issuance
and sale of bonds on behalf of Road
District No. 2, Archer county, and
in that case the court held that the
act under which said bonds were TO
be issued is repugnsnt to the due pro.
cess clause of the fourteenth amend
ment of the Federal Constitution, and
this is the act under which all road
district bonds of Texas have been is.
sued"
The Supreme Court Of the United
States seems TO have held the act
under which road districts in Texas
were created invalid for the reasons"
the opinion states, that -the Lesisla-
ture did not create the road districts;
the Legislature did not levy the tar
or fix the amount to be raised, and
there was no legislative determination
that the roads to be constructed
would be of benefit to the property
taxed
QUOTE AUTHORITIES.
The opinion points out that in this
case the Supreme Court lays down the
rule that if the Legislature he'd created
the district and had found that the
property within the district would be
benefited by the local improvement,
the district would have been properly
created and the act constitutional
Thus the Legislature having the
power originally TO have created such
road districts as may have bonds out
standing, the opinion holds that the
Legislature has the power TO validate
the creation of such road districts and
10 validate such bonds, if in fact.
they are invalid. Authorities sustain
ing this conclusion are quoted.
