Municipal Government In America.
Tho Cincinnati Times-Star has some
apt comments on the popular idea.
which originated in Europe, that Amor
lean municipal govcrnmon. Ia failure.
The belief has grown out OF tho facts
that scandals now and then dovelope in
American cities; that taxation 10 OK.
tremely high in some OF them, as com.
pared with rural districts, and that in
municipal campaigns partisan charges
Of dishonesty are often made for politi.
cal purposes-very often they arc
charges that cannot DO sustained and
are therefore never heard Of after cleo
ton day. except in rare instances.
The Times.S,ar in its comments TO
serred to. admits that it Is true that
taxes ara high in American cities, but
calls attention TO the fact that they are
not high when com pared with taxes in
European cities. There is the further
fact, also, which is lost sight OF by our
European cities. that all American
cities are in the period OF development
they are yet to DO built. and in pro-
cess OF building, which calls Tor large
expenditures OF mouey-and are not
finished as are the great cities oil
Europe. The policy OF American cities
is to pay as they 20; the European cities
leave heavy mortgages for future gener.
atoms 10 lift.
These points are well taken and do not
receive a Just consideration By those
who are too ready to echo the popular
saving tina. American nun icipal govern
men. Is u failure. Recent statistics
show that in the decade from 1850 to
1900 American cities were the only
municipalities in the world that did not
greatly increase their indebtedness. In
the same period English cities nearly
doubled their Indebtedness, or from
57i.OJo.O0J to l,0Oo,0OO,OO0. The mu.
nicipal deb:;n France alone is five times
as great az tina. OF all tho cities in
America
This comparison should not BIO alarm.
Ing to Americans, nor sh ould it cause
them to view with apprehension the
situation OF affairs. That misgovern-
,nent and extravaganza exist lie true,
but it is also true that they do not exist
to SO great an extent as formerly. There
is 4 healthy public sentiment. just now
prevalent throughout this country in
favor OF municipal reform, and looking
to tho management OF city governments
on a business basis. Compared with
the condition OF affairs in Europe. and
taking into consideration the tendency

ernment has much the best OF it
