BE THE poLETICAL AHALYsI

Dan MOODY, Attorney, Is 10 60
up on a glass door in a little over
Two months from now.
Probability has increased that IL
viii be in Austin.
Gov. Moody has for several weeks
considered establishing his offices
here when he resumes the practice
OF law. He has considered attract
iye opportunities to join existing
law firms In the larger Cities but
the unacceptable charm Of the capt.
tai city holds him SO strongly that
he will very likely stay right here.
And that would avoid breaking
up the pleasant domino games with
his cronies.
II is one thing 20 build up roads
for the people Of Texas, another TO
set that they are kept accessible
TO the people. according to Cone
johnson, senior member OF the
highway commission. He
was talking about the growing vol
ume Of oversize cotton, automobile
hauling and freight trucks. Priv
ate drivers find ii hard TO keep a
wheel on the pavement, he admits.
The solution IS one for the legis-
leture, Comm. Johnson said here.
You can't legiSlate the trucks off
the roads: but you can limit their
size and their weight. and give the
other fellow a chance" he declared.
Present limits OF IA feet height
OF load legalizes trucks that won't
20 through enterprises, and
Which damage telephone and troll
Icy wires IN cities. 1t ought to be
cut, and the length OF the long
trucks and tralers should be cur
tailed, he insists. And enforce
ment ought 70 be taken out Of his
highway commission and put In
the railroad commission, along with
control OF motorbuses and common
carrier trucks.
The readiustment Of state offic-
Ia personnel. started ir the high
way commission appointments. will
be followed up here IN board Of
control changes and other trans
fers involved IN that shit Of Of
ficials.
Along with Claude d. Teer's
moving over into the longest term
on the board OF control. there
seemed a prospect that r. B. Wal
thall, who goes of. will find a haven
in some post. probably connected
with the railroad commission. where
his former chief. Pat NJ Neff pre-
sides. Mr.. Walthail came TO Aus
tin as private secretary 10 Gov.
Neff. Then he went TO the railroad
commission as oil and gas super
visor, then to the board Of control
fcs what turned out to be a seven
year term.
Austin is q long way from Dali
las, but in Austin a Dallas man mas
been offering to put his money on
one man against the other 100000
OO0 people OF the United States IN
guessing the first city manager OF
Dallas. His bet is o. z. Carr, 0
manager OF TT. Worth. That city
pavs Mr.. Carr only SIS 600 a year,
his Dallas booster said. and Dali
lss would be willing TO raise the
bid TO $4,000 or even $4,000 10
gcf him.
50 Austin may have heard the
news first or the North Texas citys
first steps under the modern, ef-
flcient. ~business-like method OF OPP
GRAFTON.
Absence OF uniforms made II
ineonspicuous, but the statehouse
had Texas understanding mill
tarv authorities all under the same
roof this week. There was
Mai. Gen. Hulen. commander OF
the seth division. and Brig. Gen.
Jacob #. WolterS. commander 81
the cavalry brigade. and
of course Adj Gen. r. L. Rob-
ertson. The citizen-soldiers were
in the capitol on business, giving a
orce-over 10 the military establish
