Be OVER CITY


G, E. Dietx Of Moline. delegate to
the state constitutional c0nven-
ton, personally favors Legislative
rule OF municipalities. but feels
bound to subordinate his own view
to those OF his constituents. In
order to make his position on the
subject clear he has submitted Q
statement to The Argus in which
he says:
II have at all times before the
committees and on the floor Of the
convention, supported the general
principles of home rule for munich
palities. My personal preference
has been, and is, for legislative
home rule rather than for consti-
thtional home rule. However, in
asmuch as the people Of this dis
trict and of this part Of the state,
SO far as l have been able to judge
their attitude. have quite generally
and by what appears to be the
Overwhelming majority. demanded
constitutional home rule, have
taken and maintained and shall
continue to hold and maintain that
position in the convention.
City Above State.
THE particular section Of the
home rule article now under con-
sideration, to which am opposed,
was the one which relates to the
so-called charter convention pow
ers" of cities, villages and incor-
porated towns. The second para
graph of this section authorizes
cities, towns and incorporated vii
lagos to hold charter conventions
and to adopt such charters and
such form of municipal government
as they may see fit. Furthermore,
this section provides that these
charter provisions and that certain
ordinance provisions, under such
charters, shall prevail over state
laws" This would permit any
city, village or incorporated town
to adopt even a soviet form of mu
nicipal government. Under such
provision in the constitution every
city, village and incorporated town
in the state could have an entirely
distinct and different charter and
an entirely distinct and different
form of government. The measure
has, in my judgment, absolutely no
merit and has never been demand
ed by even the strongest advocates
of municipal home rule outside Of
Chicago.
II am certain that every student
of municipal government, who is
sound and conservative in his
Judgment on such matters, would
oppose any measure. such as this,
which would destroy the SOW
ereignty of the state and allow the
charter or ordinance provisions of
any city. village or incorporated
town to prevail over state laws
in other words, permit the estab-
lishment within the state of an al
most limitless number of munich
pal principalities exercising SOW
ereign powers. to which the here
tofore sovereign Estate of Illinois
| would be subject.
There can properly be but one

Reason for Opposition.
These are some of the reasons

why 1 shall continue to oppose,
paragraph 2 Of the charter con-
vention powers section, above
mentioned.
Il have supported. and will con-
tinue to support, section l Of this
article, which, in substance, gives
to cities, villages and incorporated
towns all powers of local self
government, which are not exer-
cised by the general assembly. This
will give to municipalities all pow
ers, which are not, by implication,
denied to them by the legislature,
in the exercise Of its sovereign
authority. Under the present con-
stitution, cities, villages and incor-
porated towns have c:!y such pow

But Few Cities Planned.
Only about fifty cities in the
country have progressed to the
point Of having city planners
study and arrange their commun-
tiles. Rock Island is the first in this
district to take this step, Moline
having done nothing so far and
Davenport having only named its
commission which will continue
the work.
"City planning is a matter of
thinking In the future" said Mr..
Ol0f 2. Cervin, member Of the
city planning commission. 1T is
n matter Of providing for the needs
OF q larger city as well as making
better accommodations for the
present city. II Lincoln park is
sold, the city planner may provide
for q larger and better park else
where. He may see fit to zone the
city as to business, factories, resi-
dences and civic center. He will
look into the matter of future city
extension, lay out thoroughfares
leading into the city, plan for parks
and Fairgrounds, arrange the street
car and transportation layout and
river frontage, and prepare plans
for civic center SO that the city
hall and all buildings pertaining to
the city welfare will be together.
THE planners aim is not to make
the city beautiful but to make it
proper and better thereby 1t will be
made beautiful. Better and
broader streets and proper parks
will make the city more livable and
comfortable"
