MODEL TOWNS MUST BE A5N
pI AIMED ON a BUSINESS BASIS

If for no other reason, therefore,
the model town must be considered,
organized and deyeloned on. busi-
lness basis: ana the vahie of the ex-
'perience acquired OF any success
achieved will depend FIRST and last
cL obtaining results in the face OF
conditions no more favorable than or
| ldinarily met with in other land de-
iyelopments, and by the use OF means
/ ordinarily available in other instances.
N fact the future of toWn-planning in
! America depends on whether il can be
shown to pay. The so-called model
town must succeed on a commercial
basis. 1t must even do better in this
respect than the ordinary CONNER
! cal or speculative development. Its
educational. architectural, and sociol-
oeical possibilities therefore. in the
last analysis depend on its economic
success. The equation is fundamental
( lS an economic one, however aesthe-
Itically it may be put upon the slate.
and its solution must be found in
terms OF dollars and cents.
Thus. in spite of being called
garden cities" the real genesis and
the most important function of the
European model own"-usually de.
Iyeloped on some kind of cooperative
IDasis-has been an economic one
practically a matter Of seld-defence
Whereas the medieval walled town
was a refuge for marauding barons.
Ithe cooperative town of today is pri
marily means OF protection against
our modern land spectators. And
the value of the model town in this
respect should be even greater here
Ein America, where one Of the funda
mental difficulties in the solution OF
the housing problem lies in the uncer-
tain and rapid changes in land prices
and usage and the speculative ex-
ploitation Of an increment very much
,"rnearned' by those who ordinarily
profit most by it.

But many people believe they work
when they are not honestly entitled
to the belief, They put in SO maAy

they do it unwillingly and disln-

fMuskogee Times-DemocraD
The Oklahoma City Times prints a
leading editorial under the caption,
The Get-together Spirit" The Times
wants everyone to quit knocking Ok
lahoma CitF and desires that all
jealousies and pickering stop. This
is a mighty good thing for Oklahoma
City, but would IL not be Well for
Oklahoma City to set the example
For the last five years leading men
ir that city representing her com
mercial club and other organizations,
have consistently and presistently
knocked on every city in the state OF
more than ten thousand inhabitants.
We would be glad TO see the sugges-
ton OF the Oklahoma City Times car
ried out but we believe that the first
step must come from Oklahoma City
When that city is ready TO stop knock
ing others and to help boost the state
Iat large. the response viii be ready
and enthusiastic. but it is a mighty
poor rule that does not work both
ways, and it is significant that Okla.
