Take the case of the First Ma

the four largest banks in Chica-

How the banks get rich on

Wherever public projects are
placed whether in high rent
Beverly Hills or in a hole in Ro-
gers Park = the money comes
out of your pocket.
The bulk of the city's rec1ea
tional facilities are placed in "sll-
ver-spoon" communities, but the
cost is borne by the city as
whole.
Chicago has two systems of
collecting money for public pro-
jects.
THE BETTER way is by direct
taxation, but the system most
used is to borrow money from
big business enterprises, by float
ing bonds.
Last year, the Chicago Park
District was authorized to issue
$24, 100000 in bonds, to be spent
on park expansions = away from

projects, and is asking for an adj
ditional 100000.
OF its first authorization only
S250,000 has been earmarked for
equipment and material. The Bu-
reau has plans for SO play
grounds, but where and when
they will be placed is still unde-
cided.
Both agencies declare they can
not embark upon dynamic pro-
gram of recreational expansion
until 'the housing shortage is al
leviated"
YET HOUSING shortage or no
housing shortage in November,
1915, there were about 7,019
acres of vacant subdivided land
and $3.50 acres of vacant unsuh-
divided land in the city - most
ly adjacent to low-income com
munities.
Today with their treasures
packed with money for recrea-
tional needs, the city's key agen-
cies are marking time, waiting
for the signal to expand from
high-pressure communities.
UNLESS there is direct action
from families, civic and social
groups with the low-income dis
tricts, the huge bond issues voted
by the people may again be al
located mainly to "silver-spoon"
communities.

1The JUNGLE is the big

BY RICHARD DURHAM

Inside the industrial Fourth
District are 223,3O4 people, main
~ workers, who have not sent a
Republican to Congress for near
ly half a century.
The Fourth is predominately
Slavic and includes the giant
packinghouses and stockyards,
mills and warehouses.
1t voted nearly 5 to 1 against
the COP in 1914 and to l in
1912.
THIS makes its incumbent Con-
gresham Martin Gorski, busy in
his law offices at 139 N. Clark
ST, feel that for him the Nov. 9Th
elections are all over but the
shouting.
Don't misunderstood me. l
don't say it's in the bag, but"
and Gorski lets it rest right there.
The Republican candidate for
the District, John T. Parsons, a
political nonentity, has only serv-
ed to increase GorSki's conf
dence Parsons passed his pri.
mary test by narrow margin.

not to know as much about the

GORSKI left the 18th Congress
with record of supporting every
measure proposed by the Admin
istration and expects to do the
same when he returns to the 80th.
He feels he has cleared himself
with his party and unlike his fell
low Democrat, Edward j. Kelly,
in the adjacent Third District,
has strong support from the De
mocratic machine.
He has only slight uneasiness
about whether or not he has
cleared himself with the people.
