XEKD OF A CIVIC COMMITTEI
THE suggestion mado by Prof. F.
A. Tlcdgon in n letter to tho
llrmtrniu f'li.l. vnilu.tn tll.it
that organization concern Itself In
civic improvement Is u good one. 13 lit
why limit tho scopo of Interest in
city government and civic Improve
ment to tho women's clubs?
Tho difficulty with tho city gov
ernment as wltii the conduct of nil
tho lnrge nffalrs of tlio peoplo lu want
of group consciousness.
It 13 hard for tho peoplo to think
for tho city. They can think for
themselves and for the Htunllor
croups that naturally form about
themselves and tliolr porsonal Inter
est but to think for the city as a
whole- and to give that tho primary
consideration Is almost impossible.
This Is illustrated evory day. Thero
.arc many people on Coos Day who
nro thinking exclusively about tho
ralso of wages In rortnln clashes of
rmploymont. If wages could be put
to $10 n day they would fool that
tho city government was Just tho sort
of govornmont tlioy had been look
ing for.
This disposition not confined to
thowagooarnorH. Thcronroninny oth-
-ors who think tho city should nld by
appropriations, nil projects In which
they hnvo personal interest. If this
woro dono they would think tho city
government tho host over formed by
man.
Every cltlzou that escapes udequnto
nssossmont feels satisfied with tho
assessor. Every man who is nblo to
.got city Improvements whero they
will boneflt his property Is sntlsfled
with tho city government. Wo nro
rail of us residents of some section of
tho city and represent some Interest.
Tho number of peoplo In any city
who tnko Into consideration the city
as n whole, tho people ns a whole,
educational advantages for the whole
community, who consider that in n
largo way It Is to tliolr advantage to
nay tholr taxes wuothor they uro as
sessed or not; who can see Hint nils-
Ing wngeu far ono class of workmen
out of proportion to what others aru
getting is not for tho general good,
lu very limited.
And yot the future of tho city Is
with tho Individuals who have this
larger group consciousness, for no
city administration can bo expected
to stand alone for tho city as a whole.
In tho end thero will be little- groups
nbout Individual mumbeis of tho City
Council, hnvlng their own Interests
to borvo und In tho end every matter
will bo determined with reference to
tho wants and Intel eats of those
untillcr groups rather than with rof
. eronre to tho larger group, which la
tho. city Itself, lu other words, gov
ernment will not lu tho end bo better
than the purposes of the peoplo who
do tho voting.
Tho Times thinks that u conunlttoo
of fifty men and women chosen re-
gantlets of eluli, social or political
affiliations, dominated only by tho
ono doslro to t.orvu tho city as n
wholo and who do not oxpect to hold
office but who do desire to contribute
Homothlng to tho larger growth of
tho city would bo a better solution of
the problem than to turn such an Im
portant duty over to the women's
clubs for It Is a duty that belongs to
. men ns woll as womon. Thero Is
field lu evory city for some organized
work on tho pint of public spirited
citizens who want nothing for them
holves and who are not willing to re
main mere spectators.
The Chamber of Commerco and oc
casional meetings of liusluebs men
are constantly pointing out to the
people the commercial possibilities of
the city as a whole. Thero Is, how
ever, room and n demand for some
clvle organization resembling the
Chamber of Commerco, nu organiza
tion hnvlng no selfish Interest but
holding out to the Individual voter
roads. It would amplify tho menus of
free education. It would enhance so
cial efficiency.
Tho country needs a navy, but
naval experts moro nnd more ques
tion tho wisdom of spending money
on such ships. It looks liko wnsto
of tho peoplo's money. It deprives
tho public of funds that tho govern
ment could Invest for the nation to
far greater and lasting advnntngo.
