tive workers. 1t is for the best good
of the nation to limit this class as
much as possible.
The future prosperity of America,
then, depends upon the decentraliza-
ton Of the cities. Large cities are eco
nomically wasteful. and they will have
to go. The manufacturing cities Of the
future will be located with reference
to food supply as well az with refer
ence to the market for their products.
In recent years the farmers of the
hog raising districts Of Iowa are COM
ing more and more to ship their hogs
to local packing houses for slaughter,
thus eliminating the long freight haul
to Chicago. A plan is under way to
establish terminal elevator at Cedar
Rapids. where the bulk Of the Iowa
grain can be cleaned and graded and
shipped direct to the consumer. In
this way the toll Of Chicago. with Its
heavy terminal charges and its army
of middlemen. will be almost entirely
eliminated.
One of the chief factors In the way
Of this enterprise and many others Of
like nature Is the discriminatory
freight rates which the railroads give
to the large cities. But this IL a mat
ter that will be remedied IN time. The
era of the open country and the coun-
try town Is dawning. The great city
has its place. q place which it will con-
tinue to hold. but 1t cannot be the
dominating force in American life. nor
can 1t much longer attract the flower
Of young manhood and young woman
hood from the country districts.

BLAST WRECKS BALLOON SHOP.
Plant Of Zeppelin Airship Company,
Germany, Demolished. .

Friedrichshafen, Germany, July 20.
The gas works of the Zeppelin Air
ship Company were demolished by an
explosion. Seven persons were in
jured.
The managers of the plant were not
present at the time, and the cause of
the accident has not been ascertained.
Shortly before noon the gasometer
burst and the walls were blown to a
great distance.
Several cottages fell in ruins at the
shock, while other buildings lost their
windows and doors. The defamation
was heard for miles, causing panic
in the district and even among those
residing on the opposite side of Lake
Constance. The neighborhood is
sparsely populated and chiefly by
those employed in the Zeppelin fac
tory.

creasing the proportion Of country

creasing the proportion Of country
dwellers.
At present there are too many drones
In the hives of industry. The unearn.
ed increment, the rapid rise In real
estate values for which community
growth is responsible. has placed hum
dreds of thousands Of people where
they can live from the proceeds Of
rents-live without working. They are
granted a perpetual tax upon the in
dustry of others-on the necessity OF
people to live. Legislation that will
put heavy tax on this unearned In.
crement will In large measure right
this wrong and force the property
owners into. productive labor. The
decentralizing Of the cities will force
down the abnormally high rents and
help to thin the ranks of the people
whom excessive rents have allowed to
remain in fdleness.
Aside from the people who do not
work, there is vast army Of nonpro-
ducers who are supported by the men
who work at productive labor. Our
system Of getting goods from producer
to consumer Is needlessly expensive
and cumbersome. There are too many
middlemen on the way. who through
custom have come to think they have
a divine right to an easily earned share
of the consumers dollar.
Much of this awkward system Of dis
tribution has been made necessary BY
the concentration Of the manufactur-
ing industries In large cities and by
the location Of these cities without ref
erence to the markets for their manu-
featured goods or the source Of their
food supply. 1t has been estimated
that II Philadelphia were located close
to its food supply the cost of living In
that city would be reduced 20 per cent.
The time has come for radical re-
adjustment of the system of distribu-
ton. The consumer and the producer
must be brought closer together and q
large share Of the energy wasted in
duplication and rehandling Of products
turned into productive labor. As an
example. there are nearly 100000 conn
mercial travellers in this country.
These men are well fed and well paid.
The cost of selling goods through them
IS enormous. The consumer pays this
cost in increased prices. The plan of
selling all sorts of goods in small guam
titles by personal solicitors Is rem.
nant OF the old days of cuttbroat com
petition. It has little. II any. place in
modern business. Today business has
been put on scientific basis. Consol-
idation is the keyword Of efnciency.
Consolidation has reached its highest
development in manufacture. Trans
portation Is not far behind It 1t IL

and excessive cost-is elm

New York, July 20.-The high price
