Various Forms of Communal Indus

BY FRANK KOESTER, City Planner and
Consulting Engineer.
The civic impulses which evidence
themselves in improved and beautified
buildings asd streets are not satisfied
merely with aesthetic progress. but are
also shown in plans for improving in
a direct and practical way the living
conditions of the whole city.
Among such improvements are vari-
GUS forms of communal industry, such
as municipal markets, municipal
slaughter houses, municipal ice plants
and municipal baths.
One of the most important of such
activities is the municipal market.
Such markets are best conducted by a
board of managers, whose duty it is
to conduct the entire undertaking.
The principles upon which such in

cued the nation from Republican mis-
rule and kept the country at peace
amid distracting misrule on all sides.
How could partisan speaker satisfy
a partisan convention without offend
ing a universal sense of Justice? The
task was an impossible one.
The delegates had gathered to plan
for the country's return to bondage
to the interests. and Senator Harding
would have disappointed the delegates
II he had conceded to the Democratic
administration any merit whatever.
He did not disappoint them. On the
contrary, he lived up to the highest
requirements of partisanship and ex.
tolled the Republican record as flaw
less and pictured the Democratic rec
ord as a menace to prosperity at
home and peace abroad.
His declarations on the subject OF
preparedness were sufficiently emphat-
ic to arouse all the fears that have
been assiduously cultivated by the
manufacturers Of munitions, and yet
were not definite enough to inform
the taxpayers of the burdens which
the jingoes have in store for them.
Common Ground on Tariff.
It was not, however, until he
reached the tariff question that he
left out all the sails. He is believer
in protection for projections sake,
and he knows that protection is the
issue on which the standpat Repub-
licans and the Progressives were most
nearly in agreement. They rival each
other In devotion to the theory that
tax Is blessing when collected
through the customhouse.
II the subject was a chilling onc
for impassioned eloquence, the occa-
sion was no more encouraging. The
delegates were not here to outline any
constructive work. they had planned
nothing from the experience through
which they had passed.
They based their hopes OF success
upon a reunion OF the two elements
of the party, and felt confident that
this reunion could be effected with
out commenting any Of the reforms
accomplished by the Democratic party
or pledging the Republican party to
any remedial legislation.

singing and parading that lasted more
than an hour and half.
1t is some months since the Repub-
lican leaders conceived the idea OF
tying the protective system to the
army and navy. 1t will be remembered
that Congressman Mann included in
dustrial preparedness In the qualified
Endorsement which he gave the admin
istration's program. Protection was
looking for a crutch, and 1t was quick
TO avail itself of the support offered
by the preparedness propaganda.
II was very easy for high-tariff ad-
vocate to support policy requiring
larger appropriations because larger
appropriations compel larger tax lev
les. Regulars and Progressives alike
recommend tariff as q source from
which to draw increased revenues.
They defend taxes upon consumption
on the ground that they are felt less
than by direct taxes. II Is the old
defense. viz: that by means Of 1t more
feathers can be obtained from the
goose without squawking.

sentiment in favor of bigger appropri-
atoms for the army and navy by pa

has been refrigerated out of them.
But there was heat enough and to
spare at the Auditorium. There wasn't
ice enough in Chicago to keep their
temperature normal.
At the Republican convention the
committee on credentials reported on
the contests, and the report was
adopted without discussion. How diff.
ferent from four years ago!
The committee then gave temporary
seats to Taft majority, and that tenn
porary majority proceeded to make
itself a permanent majority. and then
1t completed the work for which 1t
came into the political world.
This year there were few contests,
and II did not matter which way they
were decided. The real contesting
delegations are several blocks away,
where with friendly credentials COM
mittee to pass upon their claims all
were seated.
But what an ill-fated omen to have
the Republican party's claims to the
nations confidence presented by ex-
Senator Depew and ex-Speaker Can
non! If the convention had deliber-
ated four years. II could not have
chosen two men more responsible for
the revolt of 1912. or more irritating
to the progressive element.
Depew Against Reforms.
Mr.. Depew was one of the most con-
spicuous representatives of the preda-
tory group which finally became so re-
pulsive to the Republican party that
100000 Republicans preferred defeat
rather than submit longer to its dicta-
tcrship.

Republican party more than half of
its votes in 1912. There was only one
thing that they could have done which

But the subject and the occasion
restoration OF the Republican party
to power and there is no inspira-
ton In such a subject to bring forth
an epoch-making speech. The Repub-
lican party was put out of power be-
cause 1t had been guilty of high crimes
and misdemeanors. 1t had converted
popular government into a predatory
oligarchy; 1t had betrayed the people
and given them over to spoliation at
the hands Of the special interests. Fa-
vor seeking corporations had been per-
mitted to take control OF the instru-
mentalities of government and employ
them for private enrichment.
The injustice finally became so
rank and the swollen fortunes so
conspicuous that large portion of
the Republican party revolted.
More than half of the Republicans
had the independence to leave the or
ganization and, by boiling. they ex-
pressed their determination to rid the
party OF corporate domination, even
II 1t were necessary to pass through
national defeat In order to make the
party free.
AS result of the division in the
Republican ranks the Democratic
party came into power, and proceeded
to put into law a reform program
without parallel in the history of the
country. In addition to facing do
nestle problems of great importance;
in addition to having to deal with
abuses that had grown in size until
