What London Thinks 1--WE do NJ

probabilities are that money will be in

1t is possible, Of course, that

valued for being so easily achieved
KANSAS CITYS KINGDOM.
What more could the civic ego re-
duire than a kingdom? kansas
City is the capital city Of a king
DOM" says the Commercial Clubs
next finest piece of art printing, en-
titled: kansas City. The Heart
of American What II Is-Where 1t
Is-How It Is" A big subject de-
serves a big title. This one might
have been somewhat simplltied.
Where is Kansas City? IL is the
nearest place to everywhere. That
can easily be proved. To some places
il is geographically rfearer; to others
it is nearer by reason Of freight
rates; to all places it is the nearest.
Kansas City there is, as is bound to
be true. seeing that there is nowhere
in the world another. It is on fifteen
trunk line railroads; and 1t is on
what James J. Hill called God Al
mighty's great railway, which is the
Missouri River.
When the twelve Federal Reserve
banks were being parcelled out st.
Louis got one by preeminent right,
and that was a problem for Kan
sas City, which is in Missouri, too.
The idea Of putting two Federal Re-
serve banks in one state seemed 70
he quite beyond consideration. But
Kansas City persuaded the organi-
cation committee to come on ground
Of courtesy. All that was necessary
was that il should come before the
case was closed. Facts would do
the rest. Il came and surrendered.
How could it help itself? Here was
a city which though sixteenth in
population was sixth in bank clear
ings, tenth in postoffice receipts,
seventh in telegraph receipts, tenth
in manufacturing, third in the i'm
portance of its grain markets, fifth
in its elevator capacity, third in
-four milling, second in livestock
transactions, third in horse and mule
transactions, first in beauty, first in
expectations, first in pride of habi-
tat and first among large cities in
the proportion of native born peo-
pie. The census shows that So per
cent of its population is white, of
native parentige. That explains a
number of other things.
But" said the organization COM
mittee, we've got TO put one bank
in st. Louis and we can't put two
in Missouri"
THE CENTRE OF EVERYTHING.
But this is Kansas City," was
the answer. Look at the map for
Yourself" And it was proved by the
map that Kansas City, Of all the
places where a Federal Reserve
bank could possibly be put, was the
nearest TO the sources Of wealth.
nearest to the farm production CEN
ire, the lead and zinc centre, the cat
tie centre, the wheat centre, the cop
per centre and the sheep and wool
centre, besides being itself almost
exactly the geographical centre Of
the whole country The committee
said it hadn't any idea what a place
Kansas City was. 1t wouldn't prom
Use, perhaps because it was afraid
people would say it had been hypno-
tized. However, it never recovered
from its establishment, and Missouri,
for these reasons, is the only state
in the Union that has two Federal
Reserve banks. u. u.

but city Of half million might be
big enough"
This thought is not new in the
West. People have begun to ask
themselves how big a city should be-
provided it Il not already too big.
There is evolving an ideal of size.
Over and over in cities of less size
one hears: "Why should place be
more than half a million? That 10
big enough. One can get anything
one wants and yet have room TO go
about in"
HOW BIG TO CROW
II is interesting and perhaps also
economically important. 1t reflects a
consciousness Of other things than
growth for its own sake. There are
other values. A city may become so
preoccupied with the business Of
growing that it will forget to make
itself beautiful and wise and develop
within itself the pride Of habitat. To
find the other values being empha-
sized in a city like st. Louis, which
has been outstripped in growth by
its great rival, Chicago, would not
be very significant perhaps.
A city that had failed in the race
for size might be expected to seek
distinction in terms Of its own gen.
Jus. But for a city with an mex
haustible power of growth to be
thinking already Of its higher func-
tions is a fine development of the
imagination.
You might say, very broadly, that
cities are Of two kinds, those in
which people say they" and those in
which people say "we." In a very
large city, New York or Chicago
for illustration, people say, They
are putting a subway through here,
or "They ore going to tear down
those buildings and make a park of
that space" In the other kind Of
city people speak in the first per
son plural, 1--WE are going to have a
new municipal building next year"
or eve are going to make a boule-
ward Of this street" So they speak
in Kansas City.
1t is possible. Of course, that
growth itself is coming to be less
valued for being so easily achieved

contrary.
