1t has been pointed out in this
paper recently that Labor is in favor
Of a reapportionment. There are
substantial reasons back of this atti.
tude.
Cities are industrial centers where
the far larger number of union men
are employed. The downstate is large
ly rural, and particularly in farming
communities labor is not thoroughly
organized, and often suffers from the
opposition of the farming class whe'
there is need Of labor legislation.
Representative Roger Little, ano
Senator Henry NJ. Dunlap who spoke
before the Rotary club against reap
portionment recently, should remem-
Der that Labor has not been properly
sustained i'm its battle for the right
of the workingman If they were to
tender labor a stronger support in
the legislative sessions they might
find the friendship worth while.

Chicago and Cook county, and by
the way Chicago Is nearly all of Cook
county, appears determined TO obtain
a reapportionment of the state that
will allow that city its rightful repre-
sentation in the state legislature.
Downstate Legislators are fighting
this plan. There is substantial ground
for controversy on both sides Of the
case. Chicago may not be fair to the
rural counties, once she obtains con-
troll, elects the governor and a ma
jority of the Legislators. 1t is DOM
inant control which might be abused
to the injury of the entire state.
Such is the problem created by the
vast growing population of great
cities. Many of them are corrupt cen
tiers of commefciaiism and immor-
atty, and they should be cleaned up,
The downstate could help do this, and
then the problem of state control
would be more easily solved.

The Community Chest campaign
has been only partial success 50 far.
Though more than $4,000 has been
secured, according to the latest re-
port to reach this office, there still
remains approximately $4,000 which
the collectors have been unable to
procure either in pledges or cash.
Such a result was not expected by
the executive committee, who fully
believed that the community was en-
tirely sold on the proposition of unit
ing all charities in one fund.
As The Review pointed out during
the preliminary arrangements for
the campaign there seems to have
been degree of overconiidence,
coupled with difference in some quar-
tiers. The preparatory plans were not
as far reaching as last year and eX-
tended over a brief period of one
week. The committee, thinking to
economic, did not see fit to make an
apportionment for advertising pur-
poses nearly as large as last year.
The fund available for this purpose
purchased less than half the space
devoted last year in the advertising
columns. Perhaps a part Of the
shortage is due to this fact. Not many
people outside the more progressive
merchants, and the newspapers, real
ize the value of extensive advertising.
The campaign, however, will be eX-
tended for another week to permit of
the entire territory being covered.
Efforts will be made to obtain incfeas-
ed subscriptions from those who are
amply able to pay. 1t is pointed out
that many subscriptions were UNI
necessarily small, at least judging
from what is generally known of the
wealth Of these people. 1t is expect
ed that several thousand dollars will
be secured by recanyaSsing those
whose vision is not as large as their
pocketbooks.

Miners Didn't Bite.

Philadelphia, Dec. "a financial
writer named Barker presented a jug
handled scheme to settle the miners
strike.
The plan provided that the dispute
be referred to an arbitration board OF
five. Three members of the board
would be selected by the press of New
York and Philadelphia, the United
States chamber of commerce and by
Thomas Mitten, manager of the Phil
adelphia street ear company, who OPP
crates a company union"
The miners looked upon this "solu.
ton" as an insult to their intelligence
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1925-12-11

There are other reasons, however,
which may account for the present
shortage in the Community Chest
fund.
While the press has been talking
prosperity, The Review has been ua-
able to see that prosperity has been
widely distributed. Merchants are
claiming that good trade conditions
exist. Banks are claiming larger de-
posits than ever. People appear 10
have about the usual amount OF
money to spend for pleasure, and
Christmas trade is already lively.
Workingmen, however, have not
witnessed this wave of prosperity, as
was anticipated. Many are out OF
employment. Others are working only
part time. The winter Seasons APP
proach has halted work in many
crafts. Laboring men on the whole
are able only to meet pressing needs
1t is not reported just what per
centage of the Community Chest fund
came from the pockets of working
men; but it is probable that the per.
centage was not large, due to the
above facts.
Labor could, however, put this fund
over. At least if working men
throughout the two cities were as
deeply interested as they should be
they could make contributions totaling
several thousand. 1t is not too late to

Took twenty-five Years to Reach
First 100000 Stations---Now
Number 100000

The growth of the Bell System and its con-
nectons has been nothing short of phenomenal
Beginning with 1876 it took % years for the
system to reach 100000 telephones. In 1898 the
year of the Chicago Worlds Fair it had about
100000 and in 1898, when the war with Spain
occurred, it had about 100000. The second
100000 were reached and passed in 1901, three
years later.
In the next three years. nearly 100000
stations were added, making over 100000 in
1904. In the next three years over 100000
stations were added and in the three years fol-
lowing 100000 more. By 1913, three years
later, the additions were 100000 and by 1916
nearly 100000 more Nearly 100000 were
added by 1919 and 100000 by 1922 The gain
IN both the years 1923 and 1924 amounted to
nearly 100000 each and according to the
present rate of growth, the gain in 1925 will be
almost as great At the beginning of October,
1925, there were 16,400,000 telephones in the
System. Throughout all this growth Better
Service" has been the watchword
1t has required extraordinary foresight to
keep ahead of this noteworthy growth. It is
said that the Bell officials and engineers are now
planning for ten, fifteen and twenty years
ahead

a una edad casi increfble
Nunca desde los dfas de Hamilton ha

modo, Gilbert lego a superar a su illus

Cuando Hamilton Sc retro de su ia
