It was believed the conference,
if arranged, would go far toward
removing grounds of misunder-1

States and Japan.
It would afford an opportunity
for first hand discussion of half
a dozen international problems
which" have troubled American
Japanese relations.
Among these are the question |
of the open door in China, rec-
lognition of Manchukuo, the nine-

Jt is a question whether Mr

American Rome if he had’known
what the future had in store for

the governmentwas committed
to the plan by that time.
It is not permitted to cancel
a bet after the horses have left
the post and some of the con-
tracts had been awarded when
the crash came. After that, al-
tho it seemed a great extrava-
gance to proceed with the Amer-
ican Rome, the statesmen began
to say that well, anyway, the
work would provide jobs for un-
employed workmen not only in
Washington but in the quarries,
mines, factories and steel mills.

the world, was not their doing
There is a facetious sugges-
tion that Mr. Walter Brown, Mr.
Hoovers postmaster general,
must feel very low in his mind
just now as he thinks of the
grand ceremonial dedication of
his new Post Office Building.
But the postmaster generalship
is not much of a job and Mr.
"Brown probably didnot have
any idea in building the new
Post Office that he was creating
a beautiful office for himself
The office has a shower-bath and
a private elevator, it is true, but
he undoubtedly has a shower-
bath of his own and after the
first few rides on a private ele-

the
Mr.
Hoover's reign over the splendor
of the new buildings and, as
spending went in the old unim
aginative days when a billion
dollars was a sum to stop and
admire, this was an extravagant
building program.
But standards have changed
since Mr. Roosevelt came to
town. You could buy all the
new buildings which constitute
the new American Rome for a
hundred million dollars; and Mr
Roosevelt has reckoned that at
his rate of spending the total

Salado-Might-Have-Been GREATER NEW
Capital—Almost Forgotten DEAL PLAN IS
Near-Greatness of Village on Waco-Austin Road Recalled
By Oldest Inhabitants; Research by Fort Worther
Shows It Missed Fame by Single' Vote
By C. L. DOUGLAS
Salado, sitting beside the Waco-Austin road, today is
but a village, but there are those among the oldest in-
habitants who still visualize the town which might have
been—and almost was—the capital of Texas.

there still lives in the little Bell
County village a half legendary
story that Salado could have had
; upon its hills the statehouse and
the buildings of Texas University;
could have but for one thing
the turn of a single vote back in
1839.
Like all legend and tradition,
it is a thing that is in dispute,
one of the enigmas of lost years,
and it would not he revived now-
were it not for the Interest of
Lloyd E. Price, Fort Worth at-

tory.
In Austin recently, Mr. Price
heard the tale from Dr. V. E. H
Reed, a Salado pioneer now- em-
I ployed as guard in the capitol
rotunda He became intrigued,
| with the' result that he spent an
extra day in Austin, digging in
the musty records of the state
I library, tracing as best he could
| the story to its original source.
The attorney’s research, com-
bining legend and fact, brought
out these revelations on how one
man named a state s capital
votes for Salado. Two others
held out for Waterloo on the con-
tention that the former place was
too far north. The fifth member
was hesitant. He realized that
upon him fell the burden of nam-
ing the capital site and he wanted
to give the matter thought.
Finally he decided and voted
for Waterloo, explaining that he
was swayed by the fact that
Stephen F. Austin had chosen that
place as his residence.
Against this legend there have
been. from various historical
sources, two objections some-
holding that the commission was
not appointed, and that If it had
been Salado.would not have been
considered because no town
existed there in 1839..
So Mr. Brice looked into this
