Town Industrial Planning

w. H. Manss, former Industrial
agent of the G. B. & @. who delivered
an address at the first annual meeting
Of the Keokuk Industrial Association,
is a worker, is generally conceded. He
recently wrote an interesting article
on Town Industrial Planning in
which he told how to anticipate the
future growth and needs of town by
laying out an industrial zone which
is just what Keokuk is doing. The
article is SO timely that 1t is repub-
lished as it appeared in the Town De
velopment Magazine. 1t is as follows:
Citizens Of established nations have
criticized American municipalities,
because of their fostering an intense
individualism resulting in private for
tunes and large estates in WITCH the
general public does not participate.
With the last decade has been born
q spirit, not Of communism, but one
that recognizes personal obligation to
the public veal, the birth and develop
ment OF which is due to the CONNER
cial clubs of our towns, which have
taken diverse interests, intense com
rnercial competition and varying dis
positions and nodded them into vital
force for the good Of the community,
state and nation
| Competition for commercial SD
premacy has not been lessened MOI
have temperaments been disregarded;
/ but the new spirit has called on eact
] to contribute of his ability, energy
time and money to pay the moral obli
cation which he owes to the commun
ity that has afforded him the oppor
tunity for the creation of his wealth
Commercialisn thus is not badge
either of degeneracy or selfishnes.
i but it becomes means for education
civic righteousness, art and the physi
cal and moral uplift OF the commun
ity. To comprehend the modern city j
is not necessary to number the In
habitants, take account of the banl
| deposits or manufacturing interests
dbut rather to recognize the tundenc
of its spirit and the activity an
charter Of its citizens to establish it
supremacy.

to solve the problem Of how they ca

business more readily, avoid conge'
ton of traffic, expedite transit serv1c

In solving this problem many of tn
continental cities have purchased e.

buildings, and, under the superyisio

Quick City Growth.

Quick City Growth.
American cities are very largely the
product Of the last half century. At
the close Of the civil war only 10 per
cent OF our total population lived in
what we would call city. Philadel-
phia in 1880 had a population of S0,-
000 Agriculture was the predominant
ing pursuit of the vast majority of
the people of the United States,
while today 80 1-3 per cent of the in
habitants live in cities of 5000 or
more. Greater New York City, Chica-
90 and Philadelphia claim one tenth
of our total population. The growth
of towns is evidenced when we re-
member that today rs per cent of the
people of Scotland, II per cent OF
England and Wales and 40 per cent
of Germany's population live in their
cities.
Every town in the United States is
fostering the hope of becoming an
Industrial center. It's commercial
club gives it the promise, and the
spirit of the commercial clubs char
acter and the activities of its COM
mittees is the security for the prom
Use. Notwithstanding this expectancy,
few towns are rightly planning indus
trial areas or making preparations for
the changes that will certainly follow
| in a towns life by the coming of man
ufacturing plants.
The forms of government adopted
by our towns are not prepared WITH
the view of their becoming munich
palities, and this insufficiency of char
acter rights has much to do with the
misunderstanding of and the criticism
made against city officials.
In a rural community the form Of
government is comparatively sim
pie; the town officials being selected
from the best representatives and
their election Is due to their char
! acter rather than to their social posi-
4 ton or partisan affiliations. Future
j generations are too often obliged tc
solve the original limited conditions
and In the solution many, rural preju
ldices and traditions are created.
Every city in the United States es
pecially, is practically in this stage Of
4 transition from rural to urban life.

Private Rights Protected.

The location of such zone does
not discriminate against the property
right of private individuals nor de-
crease the business of the real estate
agents. Satisfactory arrangements can
be made with such agents for han4
ding property in these districts. One
of the advantages of such industrial
planning is that the needs of manu-
facturers for land and building on
long-term leases can he met. Manu-
facturers located in such an area are
not annoyed because OF iniudicious
subdivision of industrial zones in 9TH
err sections, and when industries are
seeking a location two thirds of the
time of the committee is not consum-
ed in the effort to satisfy the selfish
interests of those owning the real es-
tate, and in the discussion as to where
they can locate the industry, which
frequently seems to be of more local
interest than the actual securing of
the industry itself. Well-planned in
dustrial areas meeting twentieth
century conditions, will become an
advertisement to any town that fos-
ters such plan, and will give to the
manufacturer every advantage so
widely advertised by the city In an
age when system is the indication of
success or failure, why not apply it to
commercial clubs in its Industrial
methods, and having established the
correct basic conditions utilize the
energy of the club, not in considering
the minor problems which now must
be later discussed. but in the larger

TIE JURY THAT CLEARED THE

The jury that acquitted the ten lich packers who wy-e tried in Ch.- caco for violating the antitrust law was far from being d the same SO cial element to which the defendants belong. ], was made up of typical Ame1ca2s Of the middle class, as far aS all outward signs go.
 Only two Eu7ors live in Chi,aso Mos; O; them are Illinois farmers or small business men in little towns. Not one is rich. Estimates made during the t-jal placed their aSgre- gate worldly possessions at about 5O,O0O. which ss surely moderate for twelve men, most Of whom have reached late middle age.

The federal govern ment seem d to have good reason to be satisfied with that jury.
 Yet it proved most bitter disap- polDtment. The lawyers acting for the nation believed that they had proved their case abundantly. They felt that the evidence of guilt had been piled high enough to convince aGy group C unbiased men. But they overlooked or underestimated the no- torious unwininsness of juries to send to jail men of good standing in the community where they live for any violation of law framed to pro- tect the freedom of trade or the gen e7al rights of the public.

 In the light of the extremely dis oouragiug result of the trial at Chi cago il is clearer than ever that the ef6ectuaI regulation Of the great cor poratons engaged in interstate traf- fic, and the protection of the country against monopoly in trade and indus
