COMPROMISE NOT IMPROBABLE NOW
dallas News).


The usefulness Of q regional organization such as
the West Texas Chamber Of Commerce Is abundantly
illustrated in the likelihood Of a peaceful and salts
factory compromise which IL offered with reference TO
the controversy over the use Of water-power resources
by insult interests. The committee appointed to make
recommendations suggests that the arrangement pro-
posed by insult be acceded to. This is taken to point
to a like attitude on the part Of West Texas communi-
ties affected. If that proves q Trustworthy indication,
the situation may properly be regarded with ~satisfac-
ton by the rest Of the State.
For the future, however, the more important part
Of the committees procurement will surely be found
in its advice that Texas make a fuller and more con-
sidered statement Of its policy with regard to the use
Of State streams. The committee holds that the order
of preferential use for these waters ought to be de-
termined and that first should come municipal, do
mestic and industrial usess; second, irrigation; third,
hydroelectric power; fourth, other uses.
Once the policy Of the State is wisely framed and
authoritatively promulgated, the occasion for the mis-
understanding and contention which necessarily arose
in the current situation will be removed in large de-
gree. Texas needs her rivers for the advancement OF
Texas. But planning and wise supervision must pre-
cede and accompany development. It is development
and not pre-emption for private profit that We ought
to seek.

"Oh. but I'm not" protested Peter,

"Then what are you hanging

Washington Letter

Progressives to fish or cut bait.
They loved the old Wisconsin war
horse. They weren't going TO admit
that anybody had more faith in him
than they did. So, somewhat against
their better judgment, they simply
were hustled into accepting a pro-
gram that wasn't at all theirs in
the first place-and thus we had the
LaFollette and Wheeler ticket.
II was all right. The Progressives
were well enough satisfied with the
showing they made.
Still, they feel that it was mostly
a wasted effort.
Their policy-not in an invidiou.
sense Of the expression-is to "bore
from within"
It's worked pretty we'll.

The World and All
LET THEM TALK
By Charles p. Driscoll

Every once in q while a naval officer or any army
officer gets into trouble through the ancient expe-
dent Of talking too much. Just what is too much talk
for an officer in the defensive arms Of our govern
ment? Well, that depends upon what the talk is about
and how disagreeable the opinions o: the talker may be
to those in supreme command.
have never heard 2fAny army or navy man who
got ahead by talkingra way that wss d~istasteful to
the higheatrsI the hlgher-ups. But it does happen once
in a pink&d that an officer, highly placed, may talk
freely in a way that rouses the ire Of some Of his su-
periors. If those opposed to the talker are not very
well entrenched, there is always a remote chance that
the talking officer may prove his thesis and get him
self promoted at the expense of those above him who
cannot talk so well as he.
There is a good deal of sentiment among civilians
against talking officers who conduct propaganda for
large navies, bigger armiess. more gas and bloodier
wars. And there is a decidedly stiff opposition in Of
fetal quarters againsts officers who tell the public
about any alleged mismanagemen. within the army or
navy.
I'd be in favor Of letting them all talk. Provided.
of course. that all civilians be permitted to talk back
without let or hindrance.
Our navy needs well-informed publicity. Il needs
advocacy in the public prints and on the rostrum. Not
merely speeches in congress for bigger appropriations,
but speeches out of congress by Annapolis graduates
who know what they are talking about.
Maybe we need the biggest navy in the world. II
we don't need it. who does? Maybe we ought TO 70
right out in the open and tell the world that we expect
TO maintain a bigger navy and q better navy than
any other country; that We have the money to do IL,
and let he who will challenge our right to spend our
money for fighting ships.
Perhaps that would be an effective kind Of arms
limitation. Maybe the other big navy-builders would
pause in their building if they knew, officials and alb
solutely, that there was no chance Of their ~out-build-
ing US.
Effective? Well, relatively effective. II might
prove more effective than sinking a lot Of expensive
~warships. just to prove that no other power can sink
so many.

City Planning

Better living conditions. better business and more
attractive and agreeable cities are some Of the results
to be expected from modern city planning, is the YER
dict of q national COMMITTEES which has been making
a study Of the subject in cooperation with the U. S.
Department Of ommerc
A city or town, the committee points out in u
special report, 10 q place in which 70 dive, to work and
to play, and should be planned systematically. just as
the location Of buildings on a factory site is deter
mined.
One. Of the objects Of the report is to show how
wise city planning can help make home surroundings
more attractive and make improved dwellings avail
able to more families. Adequate parks and play
grounds are two Of the main detectives Of planning.
The committee report states that a lawn around
the home is the best place for very small children to
play, but public Fairgrounds and athletic fields are
needed for organized games for larger children and
adults. The increasing danger imposed by rapidly
moving traffic further emphasize the hazard Of
streets as play space. and the need for well-located
Fairgrounds to care for every child. The distance
that children Of various ages will customarily travel
TO Fairgrounds should be recognized. especially in
apartment house neighborhoods. where even the small
est children must be provided for. The need of more
public open spaces Of all kinds is one Of the conse-
ouences OF apartment. house living. Large parks, de-
sirable as they are. are no longer generally recognized
as d substitute for the smaller parks convenient to
the people who need access to trees, grass and the
open space and city planning OF the future the report
saws must take this fact into consideration.
In practically all the major eenters of population
nn;llious of dollars are being expended to restify the
mistakes of those who originally laid out the cities.
Most Of the cities have been laid out with no regard
20 future development. the necessity for separating the
business and residential districts and the need which
has arisen for recreation eenters and Fairgrounds due
"a the more hours Of leisure now enjoyed by the aver
ape citizen. Reereations for both young and old are
now generally recognised as a necessary adjunct to
civic duties. and the character Of recreation depends
20 = great extent upon the provisions made by the
municipality.
A city situated as Brownsville is. destined to be-
~om. one of the large centers of industry and popula-
s;on. should profit from the mistakes made by the
,.vy.r cities. The growth of the city will not depend
.rt;rely upon the business and industrial advantages
.ftsred. Rscrsations. home comforts. sanitation are
..dsv carefully considered by industrialists before Sc
,srtinr new locations. They realize that these things
ill be demanded by their employees and that without

PRESIDENTIAL TICKET? NOT
FOR PR0GRESSIvENESS
By CHARLES STEWART

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The Pro-
gressives put a presidential ticket
in the field in 1924. There's hardly
a hint of one in connection with the
coming campaign.
True. Senator George w. Norris
has the Progressive endorsement for
the Republican nomination, but the
Progressives know he won't get il.
Yet scarcely anybody urges running
him Independently, like the late
Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette. four
years ago.
II isn't that Progressive Isenti-
ment has waned.
On the contrary, the group is
stronger in congress-especially the
senate-than when LaFollette, the
elder, ran. From all signs, this
ought to be a better Progressive
yea than that was. However, the
Progressives appear to have had
their fill Of third party activities.
The fact Is, LaFollette probably
wouldn't have been nominated in
1924, if it had been exclusively up
TO the Progressives to nominate him.
The Committee for Progressive Po-
litical Action clumsier name for
it would have been hard to think Of
originally was TO have held, not q
nominating convention, but a confer
ence, after the Republican and Demo-
cratic selections had been made, to
decide what 70 do about IL. The in
tention was TO choose, il possible, be-
tween the two major league presi-
Dental candidates, and to frame up
a list Of congressional nominees
whom good Progressives could con
scientiously vote for.
IL was the general public, a num-
Der of newspapers, and one or two
political groups like the Socialists.
rather than the Progressives, which
insisted on regarding the affair as
the birth of a new party.
These outstanders took IL for
granted that LaFollette would be
nominated.
They ced that they were 60
ing to support him-he wasn't quite
AZ advanced as the Socialists, for
instance, but he'd do-they'd be on
hand to root for him at the "con-
vention" and he'd get their votes
in November.
Il amounted to . challenge to the

The existence of the criminal fence is primarily re-
s~ponsibls for many wanton murders committed in the
course Of raids by these newly organized business
associations" Of thieves. The elimination Of the Grim
inal fence will result in the disbsnding Of these or
CARNATIONS, as they must have a wholesale market to
make their work profitable, and it is the plea of the
commission that this also will reduce the actual num-
Der Of criminals, as many Of this new type Of bandit
would not be drawn into single handed crimes for
small amounts.
The apprehension Of these criminal bands. with the
facilities for quickly disappearing offered by the auto
mobile, and their ability to vanish from one state and
turn up hundreds of miles away, forms one of the still
unsolved problems of modern crime. Heavier SEN
fences and more efficient justice will undoubtedly
have its effect. but IL cannot be said that any real So
luton has yet been brought forward.
However, in the case Of the criminal receiver and
distributor Of stolen goods, we have a very different
situation. BY necessity. he must have a permanent
place Of business and storage warehouse. He must
pose as an unsupported member Of the business com
munity. He cannot move from place to place or carry
his criminally gotten goods around in his pocket.
Instead, he must trust to the difficulties Of prosecu-
ton and the laxness of our laws for his immunity, a
trust which has been more than justified in the past.
All Of the public prosecutors unite in reporting that
q conviction for the criminal fence under our existing
laws is difficult. Not until every state has greatly
frightened up its judicial procedure, and its criminal
code, will we achieve any practical results. 50 far az
state legislation is concerned. other than to drive the
criminal fence from one state to another in the same
way that we have been driving the Illicit trade in re-
volvers for gunner out OF our jurisdiction, only to
have 1t establish itslef defiantly just across the bor-
der.
