CITY COMPETITION.

The cities are at it again. The draft
registration has supplied figures on
which new estimates of population may
be based, and almost every city in the
country is busy juggling with the fig
ures. and gloating over its rivals or
making plans TO outstrip them.
This spirit Of competition is. in gem
eral, wholesome one. 1t is admirable
in the case Of the smaller municipali-
ties. A small city that lacks ambition
TO grow, and energy and viii to promote
that ambition. is a dead one" II is
likely to be SNUG and unprogressiye.
10 put up with old abuses to sink into
a lethargy fatal 90 the material pros
perity and spiritual welfare OF its citf
zens. Cities that are growing. through
active efforts OF their own. generally
do things 10 justify their growth. They
get busy with public improvements
They build betters sewers and lay bet
ter payements and erect finer public
buildings and get better water supply
and light and transportation. They
obtain libraries, and fill them with books
and read the books. They establish
parks. They keep clean and healthy.
They open business opportunities and
recreation facilities.
But there is a limit beyond which
such competition becomes less commend
able. No city is too small. if it func-
tons properly as a live. prosperous
cheerful. self-sufficient community. But
a city may be too big for the welfare
OF its people.
II Is doubtful where the line should
be drawn. Some students OF civic prob
lens are inclined TO question whether il
is well for any city to have more than
l.o00,00O inhabitants. Others insist that
half million is enough-that beyond
that figure it is almost impossible for
a city 70 fulfil It's duties and take care
OF its people adequately IL is easier
If city has only 100 900. That number
can concentrate better on problems.
Keep an eye on administration more
easily and obtain practically every sub
stantial benefit that is possible to a
community Of millions, without having
10 struggle with the battling problems
OF housing. transportation. education
and health that confront the latter.
And yet here are several big cities
quarreling again over their respective
size. making themselves happy or un-
happy over the question whether they
are fourth or fifth or sixth or tenth ia
the national roster. and planning new
schemes TO distance their rivals. Cleve.
land. for instance Is much excited over
the showing made by its neighbor. De
troit Both cities appear TO have con.
siderably more than three-quarters of
million people. certainly more than
Is good for either Of them. seeing that
they cannot provide proper living facil.
tiles for their present population. Both
are suffering from growing pains. And
we find the president OF the Cleveland
Chamber OF Commerce saying: "Cleve.
land must wake IN. We must do some
planning. We must keep the lead we
secured years ago. There Is no reason
Tor letting Detroit get ahead Of US"
AS II II mattered, The only competi.
tion really worth while Is competition
IN serving citys own citizens.
