This happens because to no one

looking around, or ahead, when a
street is extended. or cut off, or
when blocks are built up one af-

Streets are laid out with little or

economy in grading and other

Water fronts which are worth

Planning Rests on Legal Basis
Every square foot of land with

with legal qualities, which are of

becomes dedicated to the public

other public buildings, owned by

What Is City Planning ?

A city plan with its maps and
notes is a program for the fu-
ture physical development of q
city, town or village. It repre-
sents a joint endeavor of a city
government and it's citizens in pre-
pairing for their own future needs
and for the probable require
ments of their commerce and in
dustries. A city or town is a
place in which to live, to work, to
play, and should be planned sys-
tematically with these ends in
mind, just as the location of
buildings on factory site is care
fully determined.
In any community the govern
ment, which means the citizens
within the town limits, controls
so much land in streets and pub
lie places, usually from 25 to 40
per cent of the total area, that it
holds The key to the situation.
Since in the United States
many communities double their
population every twenty or thirty
years, the local authorities,
through their control of newly de-
veloping sections. can largely de-
termine, for good or for bad, the
conditions that affect not only
the present but coming genera
tions.
Every town has a plan, whether
it has been put on paper to ex-
press existing or desired condi-
ions or not. Whether it IS good,
or bad, sar incomplete, a plan is
there, just the same. It, is not
possible, therefore, for eommu-
nifty ever to say truthfuIlt that il
is not interested in city planning
The city plan seeks to obtain
order, primarily by anticipating
I the ress phhle peedsak the com
inunity well in advance. To bt
fully effective, it should include
a good zoning ordinance to mini
mize conflicting and mutually in.
iurious uses of land.
A zoning ordinance, on the OH
er hand. should always be based
on general city plan if it is tc
promote sound development anc
the best interest of the commun.
ity.

CO-OPERAT|vES
MAKE GAINS IN

Increase Membership by
4O@o In Year

MOSCOW, U. s. 8. R., July 25. -
Consumers co-operatives in the So
Wet Union now number 10000, 900
members, of whom 100000 are peas
ants and 100000 are townspeople.
In addition there are producers CO..
operatives-the agricultural with g.
100000 members and the handicraft
workers with 100000. This represents
a rapid growth since the war, but es.
pecially during the past year, during
which the gain is estimated at about
40 per cent. %
Agricultural co-operatives, which
had turnover Of less than 100000
roubles before ther war, now have a
turnover of more than a billion rou-
bles annually. They own and operate
1900 different enterprises, including
oil factories, potato reduction plants,
etc., that produce 100000 roubles
worth of goods and employ $4,000
workers.
Handicraft workers productive CO.
operatives increased their turnover in
the past year from 196,OOO,OOO roubles
to 464,0O0,000 roubles. One-fifth of
the handicraft workers in the country
are members.

Waukegan Boarders
Maintain Cooperative

WAUKEGAN, Ill. - OPP A CO.
operative boarding house controlled by
Waukegan men has been running for
10 years or more and Is still going
strong. It is operated and patronized
mainly by Finnish workers, although
no questions are asked as to national
ity, religions or political faith. Meals
are served at cost.
The Elanto Cooperative Assn. was
started so unostentatiously that none
OF the 20 men talked to on the wide
porch knew when 1t began. All they
knew was that 1t was organized by a
group OF men tired of moving about
seeking good food and congenial meal
time companionship and that 1t has no
connection with any other organiza-
ton. 1t is managed by August Lame,
who at the end of each week computes
the cost OF operation and divides It
among those who have been fed that
week. A general membership meeting
is held once a month.
A membership fee OF $40 is charged
to protect the association against
Jumping board. It is returned when a
man discontinues his membership.
For several weeks the rate has been
$3.50 for 21 bounteous meals.

ciated by many Of our practical work
ers. They look negligently on coop
Grafton, without understanding the
exceptional Importance cooperation
has, firstly from the standpoint of
principle (the ownership of the means
of production in the hands of the
state), and secondly, in view of the
transition to a new order by a pos
sibly simpler, easier, and more access
sible way for the peasant"
Whilst noting that economic condi-
tions in Britain are very different
from those prevailing in Russia, and
that capitalist control is here much
deeper rooted particularly that of
finance capital), nevertheless Lenin's
main point of the lack of appreciation
by many workers of the Importance of
the cooperative movement is quite
true as applied to Britain.
Cooperative histories and publica-
tons have generally only circulated
amongst co-operators; and they nat
unally treat the subject from the CO.
operative point Of view-that OF the
consumer. Hence there Is a need for
dealing with the subject from a differ
ent standpoint-that Of the organized
working class movement; and 1t is
from this point of view that this book
is written. ,-

Organization Needed to
Better Conditions
BY M. PERLlN,
Worker Correspondent.

Carl, a young worker, a member OF
the Young Workers (CommunisD
League of America, works for Olson
and Company a picture frame manu-
featuring company. The shop is UNI
organized. There are about 80 work
ers in the shop. Most of them are
young workers. They get from SIS to
500 a week. They must work nine
hours a day.
Most of the workers in this shop are
very religious. One day Carl ap-
preached one of the workers and
spoke to him about conditions in the
shop and the need to change them.
This worker replied: This world
don't amount to much and it is not
worth struggling to make life better.
God placed man on this earth on pro-
baton to see if he will follow his com
mandments. Our real life will begin
in the other world, to which we all
must eventually come"
| Carl advised him to get all This fool
ishness out of his head. "Those ideas
help the boss and not you. There is
but one life. In the few years that we
are alive we have to suffer under most
miserable conditions. We must know
that we have but one life and that it
is our duty to better that life.
ITO be able to achieve better life
we must get rid of these thought-up
religions of another world and life
after the death. We must all unite
into a strong union and fight for our
rights"
Carps talk was not in vain. The
workers began to understand. Now
that worker is doing his best to re-
educate the workers in the shop to
understanding the need for organizing
to carry on fight for better condi-
lions in this life.

AS Len1n, In the Russian cO-opera-
tive paper, The Union Of Consumers
(Soyus PotrebiteleD, June, 1928,
points out: with us, so It seems to
me, insufficient attention Is paid to
cooperation. 1t is doubtful whether
all understand that since the October
revolution, and independently of the
new economic policy Tor alternately
thanks thereto) cooperation has ac-
quired most exceptional importance.
In the new economic policy we
made a concession to the peasant as
also to the trader, with regard to the
principle of private trade, and hence
the gigantic Importance Of co-opera-
ton (contrariwise to what some peo-
pie thfnk). Essentially speaking, the
cooperating Of the Russian population
widely and deeply, and to an adequate
extent in presence OF the new eco
nomic policy, Is all we require. .
Out of cooperation and cooperation
alone. which we formerly treated as
a trading affair, and which we are en-
titled to treat similarly now, under
the new economic regime-is not this
all that is necessary for building up a
complete socialist society? 1t is not
the building OF a socialistic society, as
yet, but It is quite requisite and ade-
quate for the building thereof. Here
