City Planning

The city planning movement has gained impetus n
Texas IN recent months, and 4 recent survey Indicate
that practically all the major and many Of the smaller
cities az the state have entered actively upon city PLAN
Ming campaigns. n The past six months there has been
much Oyerhauling Of musty city charters, amendments
and revisions have been suggested and voted, and On
the whole. Texas municipalities are entering upon ar
era OF progressive development upon scientific lines
designed to meet future conditions.
Brownsville. Abilene and Galveston are among the
cities which have adopted street widening programs.

"A Trick of the Calendar

ms absurd tries which thc calendar plays on the
Aansas legislature and governor the coming year M a
Ifae'oat illustration w one ~ thc many reasons for
a present movement 10 adopt a rational calendar. IS
'ho contention Of Meredith n. stiles. member Of The
national committee Oh calendar simnlitcation.
In a%ccorlancc with the kansas state constitution.
re Legislature vlll convene On tha second Tuesday ia
January and the constitution also provides that the
governor shall! lie iuaugura.cd on the second Monday
" January. The intent Of The constitution "A that the
new governor take over Ls duties and ~ prepared FOR
the eonvcn.rg Of tic legislature.
N 1929 January ! falls ~ Tuesday. The second
Tuesday Is January y. The second Monday is January
"a and the governors Inauguration cannot take place
until six days after the legislature convencs. This may
result in the Kansas legislature having two governors
messages to guide its deliberations. but the probability
is the legislature will merely mark time after convcn-
ing until the new governor takes over his duties.
According to Mr.. Stiles, the national committee on
calendar sinplification is now submitting TO public
opinion a plan for a fixed calendar which eliminates the
possibility of such IN irrational situation as this whith
must occur periodically with the annual shifting of the
week days. n the simpliied plan is adopted the see
ono Monday in January will always be January 2, and
the second Tuesday will always bc January 10. II
would put an end to the inconvenience caused ny the
shifting Of the da;cs az the month 20 different week
days or the days of the week To different dates Of nc
month from year 10 year. It would fix the dates ara
week day names Of all periodical occurrences. such as
election days. Inauguration. an holidays, converting
dates for legislatures. all courts and other bodies.
The plan calls for thirteen months Of twenty-eight
days each. Fixity would be attained by regarding the
365th day and leap day as blank days without week day
names, TO be observed as extra holidays.
Adoption or the s|implificd calendar might prove 2
temporary inconvenience. but this would be infinit-
esimal in comparison with thr Inconvenience 20 he err
durcd year after year under the present antiquated sya-
TEN. The next regular Session Of congress will hive an
opportunity TO pass upopn this proposed simphficatioa,
and there would ~ M pronounced objection from the
American public If 10 were adopted.

A representative Of a large port on the Pacific coast
said that he ~profited more BY his visit to the Sabine.
Neehes ports than to any other ports he had seen.
All Of which merely goes to show the difference be-
tween experts and persons who merely pose as ex-
perts. The leaders in every form Of human activity arc
men who keep their ears and eyes open. Whether they
manufacture steel. operate textile mills. condu Y
chain store systems or do something else, they never
quit studying their work. they never stop learning.
Even in banking. which is presumed to be the most
conservative Of all professions. the leaders arc men
of vision and initiative, who believe IN progress. This
is particularly true in the sciences, which are adding
every day TO the store of human knowledge.
So the spectator who furnished tho theme for this
editorial need not have been surprised II important
visitors forgot tha. they were important and tried to
learn something they did not already know about sea-
ports.

PORT AUTHORITIES WANTED TO LEARN
Beaumont Enterprise).

A spectator at ono q the meetings Of por; authofi-
tics held IN Beaumont last week was impressed by the
desire OF the visitors to learn about Beaumont and the
S~abine-Neches district. Eagerness for information was
also in evidence during the inspection tours made in
this district.
A superficial person would assume that men who
: officials Of some of the largest ports in the country
would not be interested in lesser ports. Such m as
sumption would be unjust to port authorities who were
recent guests Of Beaumont. They did not adopt supe-
rior airs and act as If there was nothing pertaining to
a seaport that they did not already know.
On the contrary. they showed themselves to be quite
willing to profit by any lessons Of port management
and operation the Sabine-Neches district had to offer.
