PLANNING FOR THE COUNTRY.
Il Needs q Propaganda Such a. Awak'
snsd Municipalities.

Il Needs q Propaganda Such a. Awak'
snsd Municipalities.
City planning no longer needs de-
Tense, though it sometimes needs urg-
ing, says the Times of Washington.
But rural planning, touched upon at
the recent conference Of the American
Civic association in Washington, needs
the sort of propaganda work that city
planning did two decades ago. 1t still
seems to be the idea that man should
look carefully after the city, but that
Providence is directing the develop
ment of the country. !;
1t was entirely logical, II startling,
to have Professor Frank A. Waugh, q
pioneer in country planning. advocate
that the same care be exercised In
placing country roads that is expended
In laying out city streets; that the
same attention be given to country
homes that is given to the city blocks;
that the same intelligence be expended
on arranging a farm as in laying out
Z city subdivision.
There is plenty Of public land, as he
pointed out, in the country where be-
ginnings may be made. There are the
roads, which constitute one Of the big
gest problem; the schools and the
churches. These need to be studied ~
to location and character Of construc.
ton.
But in country, as in city, planning
should center about the home. It IL
not exaggeration to say-for health
records will bear 1t out-that the aver
age farmhouse IL breeding place for
disease.
Poor ventilation arrangement, light
ing, heating, mark the average farm
house even Of more modern construc-
ton. Provision for the agricultural
employee is worse, though that for bis
employer Is bad enough. Arrange
ments for social intercourse are mad
equate. The movement to get full
value for investment in schoolhouses
and churches has, only just started.
Moreover, with the growing road build
ing the country faces the same condi-
ton that cities face-having alterations
made in streets at enormous cost which
might have been saved by intelligence
in the first place.
Country planning is going to be hard.
er than city planning. for its needs ara
going to be harder to demonstrate to
those who will be benefited. John
Jones of the city can recognize Tom
Smiths needs when Tom Smith lives
jam up against his wall. but Farmer
Jones will find it harder to enthuse
over Farmer Smiths needs when Smith
lives halfway across the state.
Country planning, therefore, must be
a state problem. 1t Is too big for COM
munities to handle alone. 1t requires
that wise provision and supervision
which can be had only by applying the
best intelligence of state to that por.
ton where, with few exceptions, moro
than half its population lives and
where that part of the population lives
which keeps the city man clothed and
fed

Taxes and 1iIIboards.

The imposition Of a tax on mural ad.
vertisements, which Mr.. McKenna is
reported to be considering, has produc-
ed satisfactory financial results for
many years past in France. Not bill
can be displayed on any boarding or
in any window in that country without
having affixed to it an inland revenue
stamp costing at least penny. Theat-
rical posters, cards announcing apart
ments to let and bills Offering rewards
for the recovery Of lost dogs all come
under the same law. On printed mat.
ter the stamps are usually attached be.
fore printing. Frequent inspection
renders evasion difficult. In this con-
nection our French neighbors put into
operation, just over three years ago,
another excellent idea which might well
be adopted in this country. This il the
plan they adopted to- get rid Of the
hideous advertising hoardings, which
then desecrated SO many Of the nation
al beauty spots. A bill was brought In
tax Of f2 square yard per
annum on all hoardings under SIX yards
square, "a a yard up to ten yards, f8
up. to twenty, and f16 on those above
twenty. If two separate advertise
ments appeared on the same boarding.
the tax was doubled; II three. trebled,
and so on. The bill was introduced
solely on artistic grounds and was pass
ID with the enormous majority Of 500
votes to 3.-London Chronicle.
