PUBLIC interest in municipal government soared to a new
high point in Austin yesterday with the induction.
Into office of the first city manager-commission officers
amid floral bouquets, patriotic singing, pledging of public
support and enthusiastic applause.
Probably never before in the history of Austin, and cer-
tainly not in the past decade, has there been manifest such
a keen interest in city hall affairs. The people did not
forget their local government after going to the polls some
two months ago, but are keeping uppermost in their mind
the fact that they have .drafted these five men to serve
them, without financial Femnueration, and it is quite ap-
parent that the people desire to show the new officials
that they will have the co-operation and influence of a
united city. This is as it should be, but it is also unusual
to find such a sentiment and interest in local government.
In Austin it is something new, born of a new form of
municipal legislation and The Statesman hopes that this
splendid sentiment will prosper as the city manager idea
begins to operate for efficiency in city building.

civic growth and at the same time keep us well within our
bonded limit. Austin can vote an additional 26 cents, for
each |100 valuation for the sinking fund, the tax rate for
1926 going to $1.64 following our recent quarter-million
dollar school and hospital bond issue. In other words,
Austin can legally vote nearly two million dollars worth of
bonds, provided the people choose to so tax themselves.
Austin needs an auditorium for various public gather-
ings, conventions, visiting artists and municipal entertain-
ment. Some have been holding out the hope that the uni-
versity’s building program would provide this great need,
but no plans at present provide for an auditorium and the
best we can get from the university is a promise that some
nature of an auditorium will be built within the next three
or five years. With the growth of both the city and the
university, however, there is the danger of conflicting en-
gagements and the ever-rising question as to just how
much use the university building would be to the city.
Let’s build our streets and let’s build our auditorium,

THREE years ago when there was a great deal of talk
about a business man for governor, Clarence Gilmore
was asked by a friend why he would not allow his
followers to throw his hat in the political ring and thereby
become a candidate for governor.
Gilmore’s answer was something like this: “I’ve givein
several years study to the work I have selected to follow;
I can see where this particular job of mine is of sincere,
service and I think I should continue to work at it.”
Mr. Gilmore is chairman ef the Texas Railroad com-
mission. .His salary is $4,000 a year. The other day
President Coolidge, looking around for a member of the
railroad mediation board, offered the place to Mr. Gilmore
at a salary of $12,000. Mr. Gilmore refused the offer.'
The Dallas News points out that Mr. Gilmore declined
because “he perferred to hold himself eligible to promotion
to the interestate commerce commission, where his work
would continue along his chosen specialty.” This is
probably correct, and means that Mr. Gilmore is not opposed
to promotion, provided that promotion lies in the path that
he has been following for a number of years. He is not a
grabber, however, and probably he does not seriously con-
sider the logic in the maxim about the bird in hand and
so forth.

“She came out there to get a

“I think she has a lot of nerve.”
“Lot of nerve? What do you

“And I think you had a lot to do
, to stand out there and talk with
her.”
“Well, good Lord, Fay! You don’t

does, do you? She asked for a drink
and I gave it to her. Then she left.”
. “Well," said Fay, "I don’t like

“What’s the matter with her?
She’s all right."
"Oh, of course, you’d say she was
’ all right," she flared at him sud-
, denly. “You never do agree with
me. I’m always wrong.”
"Wel, I’m a son of a gun,” he
complained. “For goodness sake,
’ Fay, don’t be so crabby.”
"She’s entirely too forward,” Fay
went on. “And besides, I think Nat

ed, “By the way, who is this Elea-

CHAPTER XII
“I mean it," Paul continued,
drawling. “Civilisation use to be
vary simple. Men lived in caves,
and when they wanted a mate they
went out with a club, knocked a
woman on the head and dragged
her in. .

"What did the women do? They
got together and conyinced their
men that what they needed was a
marriage law. The men fell for it.
thinking that with such a law they
could keep other men from steal-
ing their women. But what they
were doing was putting a ball and
chain on themselves. Women from
time immemorial have had a ma-
jority of the brains. That’s why
they never needed clubs.”
"Do you mean to say you vo
never heard of women's clubs?’
asked Noel Boyd incorrigibly, and
Vera said. "If my husband ia

rible puns. I’ll take him right

just makes speeches to hear him-

"He has got a lovely voice,” jeer-
ed Eleanor Mason, and Margaret
Wayne said, “Why, the flappers
simply go crazy about him. On.
the stage he’s a regular matinee

But Davidson withstood their
banter unmoved. "I have spoken,”
be said dramatically, as with a
delicate movement he flicked the
ash off his cigaret.
