THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1930 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE THREE Mrs. Landes Stresses Public Need for Women Noted Lecturer Impressed by Selfishness of Average Citizen Citizen "There is a vital need for woman in public offices," said Mrs. Berk K. Landes, noted lectureer and writer on municipal affairs, yesterday afternoon, at a lecture in central Administration auditorium, on the subject, "Municipal Housekeeping." Mrs. Landes was mayor of Seattle, Washington, in 1930-28, and is the mother of Prof. K. K. Landes, of the department of geology here. "I blame the president of the United States for getting me into office," said Mr. Landes, who gretted it. "She explained that President Hoover, at that time secretary of commerce, had asked the mayor of all states to work with the mayor of employment attention, and the mayor of Seattle called on Mrs. Lander to join in the effort to union. It was from that committee work that she was drawn into public work, she said, first to the city council." Women Like Public Life "I would almost rather legislate against people children than their parents," she said. Her first job in the city council, where she was the chairman of public safety, was to help organize a police department which had come up to remove some dog kennels from the city, and that the men of the council were about to pass on their dogs to the police city. She said that it took her a year and a half to get the kennels moved, and a huff to get the vicinity soon increased. A zoning law was also needed; she declared, and it was announced that the men into realizing the need of it. Public Needs Citizenship The public needs citizenship, Mrs. Landes asserted, as it turns its intellect to everything else except citizenship. The public is also interested in the fitness of the average citizen. Each man wanted his own particular need remedied, without considering the total burden. "We must be in touch with our city, administration," Mrs. Landes declared, "there must be a balance between the mayor and the departmental partisanship should be the smallest part of city management, and that once a man is in office, he should be given encouragement and approval to perform his duties; he should be promoted, and kept in the administration, instead of bringing in some outsider, unfamiliar with the work, she said. The man to promote is the officer who is in office, a good man is in office, he should be kept there, an long as he works, regardless of party politics. She showed that in 35 years, there have been only six mayor, two deputy mayors, and the world knows their efficiency. Public Is Government In speaking of a city manager, Mrs. Lindsay said that cities fail to get at the right businessman when they busin- manism as a city manager is better than a mayor for running the af- terior. "A government cannotrice any higher than its source—the public, the great thing to learn today is that we are the children of the United States and the speaking of the training of the children in citizenship. She said that most delinquency was created by not teaching the children how to use their leisure time, and the delinquency were comparable." Men and women should work out the problems of a city together, as they do in the home, a council made up wholly of either men or women is a bad thing Mrs. Landes held. She said also the women were better housekeepers the "Let us discard our social inferiority and work arm in arm with the men, said Mrs. Landes to the women, I close."
