CITY MANAGER
BERTH HELD TO
Be STACKS aim
Mayor Refuses to Admit
He Would Like to
Land Job.

Mayor L. Ert Slack today was 81
lent on reports in political circles
that "the mayor has his eye" on the
city managership.
II have nothing to say about that,
and won't have" said Slack when
asked if he will seek the post.
The Democratic mayors nuner-
GUS public appearances over the city
and his continual discussion of non
partisanship in municipal govern
ment led political observers to be-
lieve the mayor is interested in eS-
tabliShing such a record that the
commission will choose him for city
manager in 1880.
Unless the legislature repeats the
manager statute, the busineSs-Hke
form will become effective in Indi-
annapolis in January, 1890, the elec-
ton of commissioners being in the
fall of 1929.
Slack was identified with the
manager movement before he was
elected mayor by city council
Nov. 8 to fill the uneXpired term
of John L. Duva1.
When he took Office, Slack an
nounced he would direct his admin
istration along the line of non
partiSanship and do everything
possible to prepare the municipality
for merging with the city manager
form.
The mayor believes any city
should have the right to choose its
form of government, and offered
his service to the Indianapolis City
Manager League in drafting amend
ments to the present law which will
"clear up" some minor points.
Preliminary indications are that
there will be at least three states in
the 1929 fall election for commits

TEST FOR A DICTATOR

Americans pretty generally I'M
derstand that politicians are made
by the prosperity and destroyed by
the adversely of the country.
COOlidge-that is, as statesman
-unquestionably is the creature of
the amazing wave of prosperity
which began after 1921 and is only
now subsiding. Most observers ad-
nit that if the country should run
into really difficult economic cris-
is before next March. the Coolidge
myth would evaporate almost in
stantly.
But there is a widespread i'm
preston among Americans that
Mussolini is a sort of miracle poll
tician, above all the ordinary rules
of politics. 1t is obvious that he
does not abide by the American
rules of the game and so it has
been argued that he is controlled
by no rules.
Soon the world may see the mat
ter put to a test. Italy faces an
economic crisis. Can Mussolini
survive it?
If any politician can, he can. 1t
is much easier with machine guns
and prisons than with slush funds.
Mussolini destroyed all the means
of orderly political protest and
flooded the country with soldiers
and spies so the people could not
resort to their only alternative,
violence.
Should the economic crisis devel-
op and Mussolini be thrown out as
a result thereof, then the rule will
be well established that no polite
ian can survive a really first class
economic crisis.

MOTORISTS, CHILDREN
URGED TO BE CAUTIOUS.

Now that most of the schools in
St. Louis county are in full swing,
with others opening in a week or two,
it is well for car-owners, parents and
teachers to give thought to the safe
ty of school children.
Car owners should be careful in
passing schools or in driving where
children are going to or from school.
A state law specifically requires that
they slow down when passing school
during the hours when children are
coming or going, or at recess time.
Parents and teachers can help by
urging children not to play on motor
travelled roads or streets, to be care
full in crossing, and to walk on the
left side when walking on highways.
Children should also be cautioned
against soliciting rides from strangers.
The traffic law makes it a misde-
meanor to solicit rides while standing
in the travelled portion of any
thoroughfare.
They should also be cautioned
against hitching or jumping on or in
to any moving vehicle, or getting into
any vehicle without the owners con-
sent. Violation of any of these rules
frequently leads to accidents.
