is COMMENTED CITY
German Rothenburg on Tauben
Has Placid Contentment.
Citizens Are All Houseowners and
Therefore Vital!y interested in
Rurg's WeIfare-RuIed Auto
cratically From City Hall.

Paris.-Perhaps there is no city in
the world possessing such genuine
reason for placid contentedness as the
German Rothenburg on the Tauben, so
miles to the southeast of Nurem-
berg.
1t is ruled automatically from the
rathaus or city hall. And SO well is
it ruled that while the rich work at
the universal business of toy making,
there are absolutely no poor people.
1t laid down years ago that all
Rothenburgers must be made worthy
of their unequaled town, and that no
misery or evil must be tolerated. Ro-
thenburg municipality resolved to
realize this aim by insuring that every
citizen should have a stake in the
town. First it set to fight the vicious
practices Of families living in rented
houses. Rented houses, it decided, are
economically as vicious as would be
rented clothes or even rented food.
Also rented houses threatened to spoil
Rothenburg's domestic architecture,
the most picturesque and beautiful in
any European town outside Venice
Rothenburg municipality, therefore,
started on a policy of creating house
owners. By special regulations it made
it easy for men to buy the houses they
lived in. 1t lent money at low interest
to the buyers. The town lost nothing,
because the houses are good security.
They are enormously valuable owing
to their wood carving, chimney pieces,
and windows. The business was
equally profitable to the inhabitants,
who found that the interest on the
loans amounted to less than the form
er rents. And no longer anyone was
tempted to tear down the old houses.
The civic government went further.
The man who is not part farmer, the
man who cannot at a pinch produce
his own food, that man is only half a
man. Therefore, said Rothenburg,
every MIN, town dweller though he be,
must have his little farm. And it
began to divide up the communal

lands among its citizens, and to buy
other lands, and sell them to citizens
on easy terms. So now not only does
the typical Rothenburger own his OWL
house, but he owns somewhere on the
fringe of the city little allotment fol
farming. He can himself work in the
modest baby carriage or toy factory,
while his wife and children have gone
to the miniature farm mile or sc
away. Thus the Rothenburg working
man has his own production of fruit
and vegetables and sometimes even his
own animal food. His products, it is
estimated, average in value 30 per
cent. Of his wages.
This policy sends up industrial
wages. The Rothenburger is the most
independent workman in Europe
What with his own home, his own saw
ings and his own allotment, he can
pick and choose his work. He refuses
to be sweated. Strikes are unknown
Also crime is rare. There is about 60
per cent. less than in neighboring
towns. There is no need to steal
Also there is no possibility. For the
paternal municipality is severe. Men
without occupation and men of doubt
full character from other parts Of Ger
many are promptly sent back to their
native towns. And bad native Rothen
burgers, when there are any, have
bad time. The municipality refuses to
let them share in all the other boun'
ties which by reason of its wealth it
can shower down on the just. So
there is no temptation to a bad Roth,
enburger to stay at home.
If it were not for the national taxes,
and war exactions upon the men, Ro
thenburg would be the most heavenly
city not in Germany only, but in the
whole world.
