MUNICIPAL pArERNAL1sA1.

Progressive cxagscration of municipal paternal.
ism in the United States may look like develop
mcnt from the European methods Of city govern
ment The principal cities of the Old World and
the smaller cities Of most countries have proceeded
seemingly to extremes in applying the theory, and
a similar expansion is apparent OH this side Of
the Atlantic.
Since the foreign cities were the pioneers in in
shutting laws and practices affirming the concentra-
ton of large powers and authority in the municipal
government the inference might be that in emulat-
ing them American cities are intoxicating foreign
ideas into modern systems. But there is no justIf
cation for the belief that American cities are mere
imitators, or that they have found European meth
DDS to be superior.
While impressions may have been produced here
from observing the results of municipal paternalism
abroad it is not likely that these impressions were
profound enough to cause radical changes. The
paternalstic tendency In United States cities is
outgrowth Of conditions and abuses. Whether the
idea had prevailed in Europe or not it would have
been adopted in some measure. In cnlarging the
general principle, American cities are not SO much
borrowing philosophy derived from European
ncipal experiences they establishing original
systems consistent with affairs and policies peculiar
to this country.
Absolutism and democracy are not far at varI-
ance in the us the one attalnS TO
personal authority and the other to the tyranny OF
arbitrary system resembling popular government.
Municipal paternalism, when carried to the extreme
is the domination of system in city government
Therefore, there is little indication that 1t would
have been applied in American cities If it were not
necessary.
The abuses committed by franchse-seekers and
quasipubc corporations and the crimes perpetrated
by public officers and legislators primarily
sponsibe for the propagation Of municipal paternal-
ism in the United States Corporations failed TO abide
by the conditions of franchise grants Public serv-
ants were dishonest. Other serious wrongs and
abuses existed Relief could be had only from a
thorough system, asserting municipal authority and
powers Cities could serve themselves and their pub
lie better by providing light and water. by operat-
