of matters of public interest, charit-
able organizations, and so on, really
belong to a city as such as churches
and lodges. They should be encour-
aged and supported.
Every city needs good hotels and
accommodations. It is the means by
which the city entertains its guests
and as host, the city should put its
best foot forward. The reputation
taken to other sections will depend
largely on a city's hotel.
Good theatres are community
asset and should be provided. The
city of Northampton has solved this
problem by establishing community
theatre. This is the first in Ameri-
ca, though theatres antedated the
Christian era.
There is no real reason why the
people should not provide themselves
with cheap and good amusement as
well as cheap and good education.
Chicago is soon to have a theatre
devoted to children, the result of eff
forts by the Chicago center of the
Drama League of America.
A city should encourage its peo-
pie to avail themselves of such OPP
portunities as are offered by travel
ing lyceum companies, Chautauquas,
lecturers, the use of the extension de-
partment of state universities, the
publications of experimental sta
tions, both national and state.
A city can do much to increase the
productiveness of its surrounding
trade territory by systematic teach
ing of diversification and rotation
of crops, better seeds, better farm
ing methods in general etc. All
these increase productiveness to the
benefit of the city center.
Civic Duty
The final test of a city's excellence
is its conception of its duty to the
people. When, to the provisions for
public safety, public health, facili-
ties for business and education, the
city adds provisions for comfort and
broadened conception of living,
then the city is on the road to its
ultimate ideal.
The new city is not leaving the
aesthetic considerations to private
beneficence. They are recognized as
of public benefit, hence of public
concern. The economic advantage of
bringing art into industry to the

of the children for all time?
In speaking of park and play
ground development in the east, a
prominent authority mentions the
value of a pool of water. He refers
to the fact that the little pool about
the fountain of Trafalgar Square,
London, is said to give more pleasure
to more people than any other body
of water in the world in proportion
to it's size, and this value is entirely
incidental to its main purpose. Water
has always had peculiar fascina-
tion for all people, perhops, as has
been said, because it reflects human
moods, the quiet, cheerful, happy,
stormy, restless, etc. What wouldn't
some of the eastern cities give for
that wonderful stream ripping down
from Mount Ashland in one unending
series of delightful waterfalls and
pools? The people of this city cannot
over-estimate the value of Ashland
Canyon to the upbuilding of their city
and the well-being of its people.
Repressive Measures
There are certain repressive meas
ures that must be taken into ac-
count in the planning and building Of
a good city. l refer to such import
ant considerations as: doing away
with overhead wires; suppression Of
smoke nuisance; regulation of size
of buildings regulation of location
Of buildings such as the keeping Of
factories and the like out Of districts
properly belonging to residences; reg
ulating billboards and advertisements;
the making of necessary streets fix
lures, such as poles, light standards,
fire hydrants, etc, conform in de-
sign and color to a harmonious
scheme, etc.
In many European cities law re-
quires that the exterior of buildings
must be kept in good repair and neat
with frequent painting. Visible de-
terioration of property is held to be
a public concern as 1t depreciates the
value of contiguous property.
Clubs, Hotels, Theatres
The city builders should plan that
their city may have those organiza-
tions which make for a fuller COM
munity life. Such organizations as
a good live Commercial Club, Civic
Club a good band, Boy Scouts, Choir
al Society, Dramatic Club, Forum or
Fortnightly Club for the discussion
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-07-13

perfection of the latter-the very
goodness of knowledge and the value
of increasing the popular capacity for
broad appreciation and refinement,
are being recognized on every hand.
The crusade for the city beautiful
must commence with demand for
those comforts and aids to well be-
ing that will appeal to the enlighten-
ed business man. AS Col Goethals
said in speaking of the successful
building of the Panama canal, one of
the chief causes to that end was the
policy of treating employees so well
they had contented, healthy, loyal
working force without which success
would have been impossible. The
same fact applies to the success of a
city.
Civic Art
The application of art in planning
and building city must not be look
ed upon as the suggestion of con-
noisseur, but rather as one of the
things the most practical of men rec
ommend for its economic and con-
crete worth. Art has been defined as
"the doing we'll of what needs do
ing" and in no use of the word Is
that definition truer than Of muni-
cipal art. 1t is not a trimming but
necessity. When a thing is well
thought out and well built, art will
be the result.
This consideration should be rec
ognized in such public work as: pub
lie buildings, bridges, street lighting
standards, etc. Many cities even plan
their buildings on a definite color
scheme, sometimes using the blue of
the sky and of an adjoining body of
water as the setting controlling the
whole. Sometimes the color of a
building stone near at hand is taken
as the controlling factor, and tue
color of brick used for trimmings, the
paint on lamp posts, ETC., made to
harmonic. The wonderful color eff
feet of the Panama Pacific expos,
>tion at San Francisco was the result
of carrying this idea to its logical pos
sibility, where all structures are
erected under one plan.
And SO we see the vast importance
of this study of your city. Let US
remember that In America, demo
cracy is still on trial and nowhere
more than in the cities. Problems
of government, of human welfare,

ARE WE, as community, pulling together?
IA Or are we pulling in OPPOSITE directions?
ORGANIZATION is the great community need of
the day. Without organization men and
women are apt to sink below the level of
mules. Even mules in times of danger or
panic, have been known to COOPERATE They
sometimes kick together. If it were given to
mules to think, they would wonder at the
ways of men. That men and women, living
and working in the same community, should
refuse to cooperate is one of the riddles Of
civilization. The only benefits worth having
are the benefits we can share with our NEIGH
BoRs. Individual benefits count for little. 1t
is the cooperative effort that brings ever
lasting good. Coed roads, factories better
schools, good markets can only be secured
when all pull together. Every man, woman
and child inthis community should give one
hour each day to community work. But don't
wait for someone else to start it. There is
work for you to do. Begin with yourself.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-07-13

press for solution; and to the ever
lasting credit of our Anglo-Saxon civ
ilization let it be said that we are
meeting those problems face 10 face
and conQuering them one after an
other.
Let us remember the importan %
of this study of the city by recalling
that in England forr-fifths CT the
people are in the cities, and in Ameri-
ca the rush to the cities bids fair 20
bring some such proportion in this
country. Already the uroan popuia
ton In proportion - that IN the
country is staggering. DO you know
that one city Ct tie United States has
more people t1an li"e in the western
half of the IN tel States outside tf
cities?
A prominent economist recently
said: This flocking to the towns
and cities means the ultimate destrc-
tion of the white race If 1t remains
unchecked" To that pesimistis es-
innate of our capacities as community
builders let us respond with a real
study of the science of city building
that will mean the successful city,
the typical American city of the fu-
ture.
This brief outline may serve to
indicate the scope of the new city
movement. 1t will remain for a care
Tul study, something at least In the
nature of the survey mentioned, to
determine how much of it contains
lessons that would be helpful in the
upbuilding of Ashland. Certainly
you have the natural endowments;
certainly you have the opportunity
for a splendid achievement; l be-
lieve you have the people and the de-
termination.

Sewer TAX NOT
Large enough
ASSERTS MURRAY
Department Head Gives Reason
Why Ait Least One Bond
Project Needed

Now that the proposed bond issue
has been approved by the board oil
supervisors Harry Murray is particu-
laTly pleased that the provision of
SI30, 900 for sewers at Waikiki went
through for he believes that either
general taxation or bond issues is the
only way to tax people for the use OF
sewers, and Il also assures getting
the work doEe much more quickly and
the money is available in lump sum.
Honolulu, Manila and maybe few
cities on the mainland are the only
places which tax people directly for
the use of sewers" he said. In all
other places the sewers are maintain
ed out of the general tax AS the law
here does not permit people to dig
cesspools they must have sewers and
therefore IL does not seem right to
me to tax directly. A sewage system
is a universal necessity for If one
district becomes affected by disease
the whole city is likely to become so,
also. Therefore IL sewerage work is to
be undertaken It should be paid for
by the whole city"
Murray said that the present re-
turns from the sewer taxation is not
sufficient to maintain the system and
10 make IL SO would neeessitate in
creasing the tax so per cent.
In spea1IEg of the proposal that the
Nuuanu water Should be used for
watering lawns and gardens and ar
tesian water used for drinking pur.
poses, Murray said that it would mean
the laying of two pipe lines at an ap-
proximate cost OF $4,000

to give their Republican rivals in one
or two instances a rather sharp fight
r. w. Breckons. Republican national
committeeman, sized uD the situation
in the following comment today:
The confidence of the Democrats
in carrying the territory Is shown IN
an analysis of the nominations filed
On Hawaii they failed to nominate
anybody for the senate, and the same
is true of Kauai, since the only nomi-
nee there outside of the two Republi-
cans is non-partisan In East Ha-
wall only three Democrats appear as
candidates for the house, with four
members to be chosen. On West Ha-
wall, with four to be elected, only one
Democrat bobbed up.
Maui has six places in the lower
house, but only four Democrats are
aspiring In Kauai, entitled to four
representatives, only two Democrats
could be found to make the fight
Except in the senatorial fight in
Mani, where only two Republicans
have filed papers with two to elect,
there will be contests in every sena-
toria1 and representative district for
the honor of being the candidates of
the Republican party. ..#
In short, Democratic nominations
seem to be considered empty honors,
