When one of our bridges becomes tottery, or even long before it reaches that stage, we repair it, or rebuild it out of funds supplied by the taxpayers. In the same manner we improve our streets, public buildings, etc. But what of the unfortunate people within our city boundaries—men with families who have had reverse of fortune thru unemployment or sickness, mothers who are the sole support of little broods, who cannot make the pennies stretch far enough to keep the wolf from the door, people who need medical aid or legal aid and have not the wherewith to obtain it? They are a part of the city—they help to make or to mar it. Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other, runs the mathematical rule. Speaking in terms of a con- structive city, how different is the problem of a destitute family from that of an unsafe bridge? Poverty breeds both disease germs and crime. We are constantly exposed in the street cars, in crowded | stores, in the schools, to disease germs—a danger which can be much lessened by proper standards of living, decent | housing conditions, cleanliness, etc. Our children are also exposed to moral contamination if part of the city’s future citizens are permitted to grow up in evil environment. What are we doing for them? The city provides no spe-| cial fund thru taxation to handle this problem, as it does | the others. The Social Welfare League is our answer. | But are we standing behind them and beside them, shoul-| der to shoulder, in this great work they have undertaken | to perform? I am afraid not. We have donated generously | to the relief fund for starving children in Europe, to our orphan homes, to this drive and {hat one, and that was well, | but can we afford to neglect those in our midst? Every week last winter the League cared for 1,000 fam- ilies a week, and they are helping over 1,100 this winter. | And when I say “HELP” I do not mean that they go out to a home, look around and give them a $10 grocery order. Superficial charity, that “holier-than-thou,” red tape atti- tude, has been of little avail, but social service as practiced by this League lifts people out of their tragedies and puts them on their feet. The League helps them to help them- selves, renders instant aid where it is needed, and then fol- lows up with other forms of assistance. The chief aim is| to eliminate the causes of dependency. Don’t you, as a citizen, wish to help reclaim these 1,100 | families? It requires, as you know, more than groceries | and good will. $100,000 for 1921 must be raised at once. | The League offices are at 301 Central Bldg. The telephone | number is Elliott 4576. Step briskly—let’s not crowd. Keep Meier on the Job! NY SUGGESTION that Corporation Counsel Walter Meier resign to make way for the ap- pointment of Wilmon Tucker, the mayor’s legal} prober in the street railway, is the height of ab-| jsurdity. : Mr. Meier is the choice of the electorate of this) city. If the mayor insists on Tucker acting as spe-| cial counsel to push forward a suit in relation to| the street car deal, let him have Tucker; but if it is the mayor’s idea that Tucker is to replace Meier city will ever grant him. e mayor’s whims are no fit substitutes for the |pe le’s votes. Meier is the choice of the, people; e od been a faithful servant, and he is going to |stay on the job. The city has been remarkably patient with the mayor’s insinuations and innuendoes.
