MAYOR LOONEY'S PLANS
rr IS WITH a pleasing directness
that Mayor Looney is laying before
jthe people of Brownwod the Very im-
portant question of municipal finan-
ces. For many years we have dis-
cussed the need for this and that im-
provement and succeeding city ad-
ministrations have struggled with'
their problems while the people grew
impatient at seemingly interminable
delays. Now it is generally recogniz-
ed that the time has come when action

Registered in the primary conventions
!by a large majority; but the landslide
which occurred was even greater than
was anticipated.
The results of the conventions Sat-
Jurday were watched throughont the
United States" with almost as much in-
terest as was displayed in Texus. For
Texas is the banner Democratic state
of the union the balance of power in
more than one national Democratic
convention of past years and ar in-
dex In this 'presidential campaign of
the sentimerit of the people toward
that ehiefest of national issues the
League of Nations' covenant of the
treaty of Versailles. Had Texas re-
pudiated the -Wilson administration
and the League of Nations the hope.
for a Democratic victory in the gener-
al election In. Noverii'ber would have
become so small lhat a Republican
victory would have been almost cer-
tain. Even as it is the question of
Democratic success in. the general
election Is one involving grave doubts.
Under such circumstances the eyes
Of the nation were upon Texas and
jt is a source of much gratification
to the countless thousands bf loyal
Texas Democrats that this state met
the test in a truly characteristic
Texas manner." The endorsement of
the Wilson administration and Wilson
policies was so overwhelming -as to
cause no doubt as to Texas' loyalty
to Democracy.
While this phase of the campaign
has been passed with credit to the
state however there remains a stub-

isast be taken and Mayor Looney in i born battle involving the welfare of
'& very frank manner is telling thethe state government. Mr. Bai'py's
people how action can be made pos-
sible. It Is sot to the discredit of former
city administrations that the city
govenuBent today is deeply in debt
sad Is; without funds with which to
give the city public improvement
Which have been needed for a num-
ber of years. .Rather it is to the dis-
credit of the citizenship as a whole
for the people of Brownwood have
been parsimonious "with their city
government and have denied thei
Mayors and councils sufficient funds
to meet the most economical budgets
Which good business men could. ar-
Tange. The auditor's report sum-
prised in the Bulletin of last Sat-
urday" pointed out these facts in a;
clear and impartial manner and!
.Mayor Looney in an interview in the
Mofiday Bulletin reiterated the same
facts. Certainly it is clear to every
citizen that a more liberal financial
i
support of the citys budgets will bq
accessary this year if Brownwod is!
to " hare any of the several public im-
provements which are so imperatively;
seeded. !
The suggested plan for street pav-
ing outlined by Mr Looney in the
Monday "Buletin appears to be a fair
and business like plan for emergncyj
JBsa. It is not contemplated for any'
other than emergency use. If this
plan? is adopted and the Bulletin can!
pee no very important reason for not
adopting it it will enable the city
administration to continue the mjch
eedtd street repair work while de-
veloping plans for permanently finance
lag street sewer and other public im-
provement work and for permanent-
ly financing the city's annual expense
budgets. As Mayor Looney has said
on former occasions "money doesn!t
grow on trees" and plans for secur-
Jng money for the operation of a city
government can not be manured and
pat into operation over night. There
is one conclusion however that is
sett-evident: More money must be
placed in the hands of the city admin-
istration for public -work and the cit-
izens of Brownwood must place jit

Texas to "carry on." The. sinister In-
