No More City Limits

Speaking at the recent conference OF

ity, said that the day OF city, county, and
state governments Is apparently on the
decline. His exact words were that the
sharp lines between city, county and
state will disappear and government will
become more regional In character. :"
That has familiar ring. It isn't the first
time such claim has been made. Perhaps
In some states west OF New England this
Ia true, but 30 far as we can see the pres
ent political subdivisions still have q
pretty strong hold In this section OF the
nation.
He added, "In addition to geographic
units OF government, such as cities and
counties, we shall have numerous kinds

ton Is becoming living organism rather
than an aggregation OF separate institu-
tions, such as cities, counties and states
and such as government and business.
We are discovering that we cannot well
continue to divide up our affairs into
such simple and distinct units -"
OF course as chairman OF a government
controlled unit which has projected itself
into the field of private enterprise Mr..
Morgan would be inclined to lean In this
direction In his expressed viewpoints. But
hasn't the trend of recent years been away
from such divisions OF government 80 that
duplication could be avoided. We have
today such separate units as fire, school,
water, and park districts, oftentimes
encompassed In big city. The trend has
been away from them with centraliza-
ton OF power In the larger unit where It
is capable and competent TO render the
services secured from the smaller govern
ing bodies.
Mr.. Morgan inclines towards complete
public ownership with little private ini-
tiative, II we Judge his remarks correctly.

Travel becomes our greatest activity
and nourishes our greatest industries.
There are about "a, 000, 900 motor cars In
this country today, and the automotive
industry Is planning 10 make 5000, 600 or
100000 more next year. VIII II sell
them? No doubt It will, for It gives the
people what they want very much-the
means Of rapid, convenient and comfort
able travel.
The railroads, which for years were
worried about falling patronage, are
cheerful again, planning new and more
comfortable trains, better tracks, faster
schedules. II they continue these strate.
gle appeals, they will have ample
business.
The buses? There is plenty OF busi-
ness for them, and will continue TO be,
as long as they give better and better
service. And the same Is true OF air.
planes, which are rapidly covering the
land with a Ynarvellously fast and cheap
network. Ships enlarge and improve their
facilities, and they, too, will doubtless be
justified II they continue improving their
service.
For the simple truth is that our people
are the greatest gadabouts that the world
ever saw, and their travel-mania grows
with what 1t feeds on, so that there n
apparently no limit to the amount OF
transportation the people can absorb In
prosperous times. We are evidently com.
Ing into such times again, and the travel
itself hastens and prolongs the pros
perity.
