AUSTIN. Tex. Feb. 7.-Scarch for
the answer TO the problem Of eff

all the programs of the Fireside
Forum. a movement which is now
under way on the campus, accord
ing to NJ. ID. Woodbury.. associate

Started last fall in response to a
definite need expressed BY the stu
dents themselves. the Fireside
Forum movement was given its ini-
tial impetus when a committee from
the Interfraternity Council. one
from a group Of boarding houses
and one from the faculty met and
formulated plans for the project.
The method followed was that Of
having speakers from the faculty
meet at dinner with the boys at
their boarding houses or fraternity
houses ard conduct n round table
discussion of some subject in which
the bows themselves have expressed
an interest.

u. Students Plan
Banquet Feb. II

AUSTIN. Tex, Feb. Unusual
interest Is attached to the annual
banquet Of the engineering students
Of the University OF Texas to be
held here February IS by reason of
the fact that it is to be made the
occasion of the presentation to Dean
I. Y. Taylor Of a bronze bust of
him. This gift to the veteran head
Of the College OF Engineering will
be in ccmmemoration Of his forty
years of faithful service to Texas
engineers. The bust was executed
by Hugo Villa, well known sculptor
of San Antonio. 1t is given by stu
dents. ex-srudents and the faculty of
the College Of Engineering. Dean
Taylor has been with this branch Of
the university since it was started.
The first enrolment OF engineers
was only fifteen. This year more
than seven hundred students are
taking engineering courses. The
wonderful growth of success OF the
teaching work is attributed largely
to Dean Taylor's tireless interests
and efforts TO promote the profess
sion in all OF its phases.

evidence, was scored today by +. b.

Of the Hidalgo County Good Govern
ment league.
Reports received at league head
quarters Tuesday afternoon indicat-
ed that feeling was running high
throughout the county.
In reference TO the action Of the
legislature, Mayors Freeland and
kirgan issued the following state
ment:
Not being present at the hearing
of the issue by the house we are at
loss to understand why this action
was taken without giving Mr.. Smith
2 hearing, since We were willing TO
20 ahead at our own expense and
anxious TO present a mass Of evil
dence that would undoubtedly have
resulted in the unseating Of Mr..
Montgomery.
This is the only tribunal that can
hear this controversy since there is
no appeal from the decision of the
legislature.
1T is true. Of course. that the
question Of salary involved il a small.
yet the law gave Mr.. Smith the right
to contest the election and he has
complied with every necessary step.
This action was dismissed without
giving him the chance to present
his evidence.
"There is no remedy since the
action Of the house is final. We are
surprised that Mr.. Montgomery made
no objection to the cause being dis
missed since in his campaign for
speaker he minimized the contest
proceeding and we weer informed
that he led the members TO believe
it would never he prosecuted.
ain the face of the charges made
and of the untiring efforts Of Mr..
Smith 70 bring them to a speedy
hearing. Mr.. Montgomery should
have objected 10 the dismissal Of
the charges with them still unset
tied, but should have demanded a
full and complete hearing"
In reply to the charge that oppon-
ents of Montgomery were a bunch of
grafterS. the league leaders said:
"As to the statement Of Repre-
sentative Kemble Of Fort Worth we
have never had the opportunity Of
meeting this gentleman. and. Of
course. we have no information as
to anything ever having been done
by the citizens of this country on
posed 20 Mr.. Montgomery and his
clique that would give Mr.. Kemble
the right 10 refer to them as graft
ers. And there are $500 citizens Of

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Several factors are counted upon by
Government oficials to Offset any ILL.,
effects that may accrue from q psyche
logical depression incident to stock
market declines. They are:
First, a probable reduction In tax
rates affecting incomes earned during
the calendar year 1929 and payable
beginning March, 1880.
Second, an increase In the purchasing
power of foreign countries through
easier money conditions abroad and the
ability Of foreign purchasers to finance
their trade with America on better
basis.
Third, a natural intensincation Of
foreign trade so as to absorb the huge
SURPRISES of production.
Fourth, a release Of funds hitherto
used in speculation and now available
for local business expansion and con-
Struction.
There is no way of estimating the
amount of money that flowed from in
terror cities to New York, affecting adj
verSely real estate and local projects in
various regions The era Of easier money
is expected to bring money back for use
in sound investments,
The banks will have ample funds for
commercial purposes and deposits of
banks are likely to increase materially.
In fact, reports already show substan-
tial increases In deposits.
While Government oficials are con-
stantly talking in reaSSuring terms
about the business situation, it is evil
dent that they have not the slightest

Hammerstein's Fears
A Little Exaggerated
/ the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Arthur Hammerstein has stepped up
to the wailing wall with q pitiful COM
plant that the talkies have killed the
legitimate stage. He announces that he
is going to Hollywood while the going
is good. Human flesh is different from
the screen, he admits, but human flesh
does not bring cash. And Arthur is
after the cash.
OF course, Mr.. Hammerstein's fears
are ill-founded. The spoken drama is
too old and lies too close to the racial
heart to be destroyed by the ingenuity
Of mechanics. The commercial stage in
New York may suffer severely. But that
stage does not represent all there is to
the spoken drama.
In fact, the commercial magnates Of
Broadway were in fair way Of doing
violence to the legitimate drama before
the advent Of the talkies. Eva La Gal
lienne has defied both the magnates and
HOLLYWOOD, and she Is prospecting be-
cause she knows the theater.
The little theater movement, despite
immaturity and decisions Of artinesS, is
showing remarkable vitality all over the
country. Excellent courses in the study
Of the drama, play writing and produce
ton are springing up like magic In hun
dreds of high schools.
The world is large enough to accom-
modate the talkieS, the movies and the
spoken drama. Each medium has its pc
culiar strength and each can enrich
human life II the workers are resolved
in all things to look to the good and
the beautiful.

concern about the fundamentals of In
dustry and the underlying soundness of
the whole situation. They do fear
who has been specializing is not in q
mood as q rule to look Enthusiastically
at the outlook. The number of peSsi-
mists, II measured by the number who
have been specializing in the security
markets, would naturally constitute an
extensive channel for the distribution
Of gloom.
This Is one Of the reasons why the
responsible authorities both In Govern
ment and business are talking so much
about the soundness Of the business
situation and they bring to bear con-
vincing proof Of how unrelated the
speculative activity was to the normal
processes Of manufacturing, distribu-
ton and sale of goods. They do con-
cede, however, that luxury purchasing
may drop on and that hesitancy may
be induced even In ordinary expansion
until the stock market itself shows some
signs OF recovery.
1t is largely a battle Of Psychology
now, and mostly mass psychology,
which is not usually interested In the
observations Of economists, but in the
general look of things. ! Never before
has the Government gotten into the
comment so directly and so forcefIlIIy
and the answer may be found In the
fact that, Notwithstanding the pe0-
simism Of the speculative element, the
sincere confidence here In the contin-
ued growth and prosperity Of the cotIn-
try is really undiminiShed.

bers Of Congress with that privilege
and immunity so well known 10 those
who live within the shadow Of the
Capitol dome.
If Senator Brookharts Forthcoming
trip to the grand jury room really pro-
videS q precedent and If henceforth the
members Of Congress should speak with
the knowledge that United States dis
trict attorney might summon them
forthwith to repeat their stories before
the grand jury. there might be occasion
for rejoicing. But, unfortunately, the
present case is one that resolves itself
entirely to q matter between Senator
Brookhart and his own conscience, and
the Senator's conscience has won. So
that, as the saying goes, is that.
