IS CONTENTED CITY German Rothenburg on Tauben Has Placid Contentment. Citizens Are All Houieownera and Therefore Vitally Interested In Buro'a Welfare Ruled Auto cratically From City Hall. Paris. Perhaps' there is no city In tho world possossluK such genuine reason for placid contentedness ns the Uermnirllotlicnburg on tho Tnubcn, CO miles to tho southeast of Nurem berg. It Is ruled autocratically from the rnthaus or city hall. And so well Is It ruled that whllo tho rich work at tho universal business of toy making, there aro absolutely no poor peoplo. It laid dowu.yeat'H ngo that all Rothfiibtirgers must be made worthy of their uuequnlcd town, and that no misery or evil muBt bo tolerated. Ro thenburg municipality resolved to realize this aim by Insuring that every citizen should have a stake In tho town. FlrHt it set to fight tho vicious practices or futilities living In rented houses. Rented houses, It decided, nro economically as vicious ns would bo rented clothes or even rented food. Also rented houses threatened to spoil Rotheuburg's domestic architecture, tho most picturesque and beautiful In uny European town outsldo Venice. Rothenburg municipality, therefore, stnrted on a policy of creating houso owiiurs. Hy special regulations it made it easy for men to buy the houses they lived In. It lent money at low intercut to tho buyers. Tho town lost nothing, because the houses nro good security. They nro enormously vnluablo owing to their wood carving, chimney pieces, and windows. Tho business was equally profitable to tho Inhabitants, who found that tho Interest on tho loans amounted to less than tho form er rents. And no longer anyone waa tempted to tear down tho old houses. Tho civic government went further. Tho man who Is not part farmer, tho man who cannot nt a pinch produco his own food, that man is only half a man. Therefore, said Rothenburg, every man, town dweller though ho bo, must liavo his llttlo farm. And It began to divldo up tho communal Rathaus, Rothenburg. lands among its citizens, nnd to buy o'ther lands, and sell them to cltizenB on easy terms. Somiow not only doeB tho typical Rothenburger own his own house, but ho owns somnwhero on the fringe of tho city a little allotment for farming. Ho can himself work in tho modest baby carriage or toy factory, while his wife and children havo gone to tho miniature farm a milo or so awny. Thus tho Rothenburg working man has his own production of fruit and vegetables nnd sometimes even his own animal food. His products, It Is estimated, averago In value 30 per cont. of his wages. This policy sends up industrial wages. The Rothenburger Is tho most Independent workman in Europe. What with his own homo, his own sav ings and his own nllotment, ho can pick und chooso his work. Ho refuses to'bo sweated. Strikes aro unknown. Also crimo is raro. There la about GO per cent. less than in neighboring towns. Thcro is no need to steal. Also thcro is no possibility. For tho paternal municipality is severe Men without occupation and men of doubt ful character from other parts of Ger many aro promptly sent back to their nntlvo towns. And bad native Rothen burgers, when thoro aro any, havo a bad tlmo. Tho municipality refuses to lot them share in all tho other boun ties which by reason of Its wealth It can shower down on tho Just. So thero is no temptation to a bad Roth enburger to stay at home. If It wero not for tho national tuxes, and war exactions upon tho men, Ro thenburg would bo tho most heavenly city not in Germany only, but In tho whole worlds After Three-Footed Bear. Franklin, Pa.
