There aro commercial and in dustrial Interests which, blinded by the privileges of the present," fall to see the udvuntuges of the golden era of Uio future. These Interests, therefore1, while yielding to tlio growing demand for city pluuuiiig, adhere to the antlqunted Ideals and methods which have been so well ex pressed in Purls and Berlin and which nre based wholly on the principle of workaday coro ' inerclallsm and Industrial prof its rather thnu upon the prin ciples of buinuu efllciwticy and social progress. "Nickel" poli cies in transit . development, . such as we frequently encounter ' among our public corporations, yboulovnrd and parkway devel opments, the main function of which is the increase In real estate values that benefit the few, the construction of costly public buildings to impress the strangers and benefit the graft ing contractors, do not consti tute city planning. . Unless we realize the impor . tance of reducing congestion, dis tributing adequately and equita bly the advantages of parks, playgrounds, social and educa tional routers, give easy and cheap access to the opportuul ties for employment to the peo ple as a whole, this country will be developing slums and their products poverty, immorality, crimes, disease and death.

To make money iu your own com munity you need faith In that com munity. If you haven't got that faith you'd bettor move out, says John M. Osklson In the Chicago New& In my youth I went to school in n little town which was said to have n population of 3,500. About four or live now houses a year wore put up, ancl about every five years n little mill, o steam laundry or a small private school would he erected. The town grew so slowly that everybody began to believe tlwt It wasn't growing at all. Then Brown, who ran a harness and saddle shop, stnrted out to see if he couldn't stimulate n( booster spirit. 1 used to hear his first faint blasts of celebration of flint llttln town's ruiusl. b'Utles and see the amused smiles on l.lio faces of those buslress people he talked with. It seemed to me a hope less tank Brown had undertaken. . But Brown had faith enough In the town to keep on and to put up as much money ns he could raise to help bring other mills and Industries. By the time I left that town to go to college it had become almost popular to boost. Last fall I dropped into the old place, and I had a talk with Brown. Long ago. through his capacity for wnklng the sleeping faith of men, Brown had risen out of his harness and saddle shop and was a factor In a great In dustry which had been developed since I went away to college.' The town Itself was changed. The now blood brought In by Brown and his crowd of boosters hnd been good for It. It Isn't a metropolis yet. not by a long way, dm it gives you the Impres slon of n place confident of its future. Its property owners are hanging to their holdings and paying the rather high taxes, due to big expenditures for street and sewer Improvements, with an air which says. "You may think I'm Btung, but you just wait until we hnve quite recovered i.'om the temporary tlmnp!" It Is true thnt the town Is in a slump, Not even Brown will attempt to denj It But it Is just as certain ns any thing economic can be that Brown and his regimojt of believers in the town's future will caul it out of tlio Blump. And In doing It don't forget that Brown and the other believers will make n handsome profit. You can make your faith in your community pay. IDLE MONEY is that which you carry in your pocketbook or keep at home. It earns nothing and a thousand whims 'and petty extravagances lie in wait.
