(This paid column Is edited by a
citzen of Oregon, who will discuss
questions which he deems Important
ror consideration by the people.)
Figures soon to be Issued-by the
census bureau will be scanned with
great Interest by those who have
ice n alarmed in the past by the
growth of our cities. According to
the census of 1900, about one-third
it the population of the t'nited States
lived in cities. .o doubt the pro
portion has increased In spite of the
improvement which has undoubtedly
taken place In the conditions of
rural life. The best blood of the
country Is continually drawn to the
city, and there It meets another
stream of population flowing to the
amo center, namely. Immigration
Civilization Is seen at tts best and at
its worst in the city. There may
nrofessions. In the nrts, nnd in busl-
he found the shinning lights In the
ness life. There also are found vice
in all its forms, both glided and not
gilded: there, on the one hand are
wealth and luxury and on the other
poverty and misery, with all the
gradations from the palace to the
"slum". Without renewal by fresh
blood from the country, city life
would soon become like a stagnant
pool. But with the best that the
country can. do, the prospect In our
cities Is not flattering. The con
stant stream of foreign immigration
empties t!ie greater portion of its
flood into the city. Low standards
of life, Ignorance, dirt, disease and
crime are assembled Ju the city
slum In appalling bulk. Social phil
osophers are grappling wl'.h the
problem, and practical remedies are
found in the social settlement, the
Christian mission and the Institu
tional church. Not only does the
city harbor within Itself the seeds
of destruction, but there circulates
from it, through the many avenues
characteristic of this day, of easy
Intercommunication nnd evil Influ
ence that blights whatever it touches.
No city livoth unto itself and no city
dieth unto Itself. City and country
are bound up together, and the city
might he called the great central
nervous system of tho body politic.
No one will disrepute that many
cities, like New York, Chicago, St.
Louis Sun Francisco. Pittsburg, have
been found to be great centers of
political corruption Involving the pub
lic men and public Interests of (he
state and even of the nation. In
the state of New York, the city be
came so corrupt that its government
haH been from time to time remod
eled by the state legislature, and ft
has long been true that the decent,
patriotic people of New York City
hav0 been compelled to look to the
state legislature for relief, which
could not be obtained In the city
within Itself, because of the preval
ence of Ignorance and corruption
among the voters. When we recall
this fact, It is natural to Inquire
whether we in Oregon have done
wisely in taking away from the
state legislature absolutely the pow
er to make or amend city charters.
Tlpe state has a vital Interest In
maintaining the virtue of Its chief
cities and so rapid Is the Increase
of city populations that there is
grave danger not only that the cities
will dominate and control In state
and national politics, but that that
control will emanate from the wor,st
elements of city life.
The state of Oregon Is growing,
but It Is perhaps true that Port
land is growing more vapidly than
the rest of the state. DoubtlesB
the new census will show that Port
land has more than one-third ot the
population of the state. She Is now
a groat factor In stale politics and
she will be a greator fax-tor. The
time may come when the law-abiding
citizenship or Portland and of
the rest of Oregon will regret that
the state legislature has no power
to intervene ,in Portland's govern
ment. PHIL IIARAIOXICUS.
