What One City Is Doing
HERE'S a little item that is significant:
The report of the park department at Cleveland, 0..
•hows that from May 16 to July 15, the city has netted a
profit of $10,000 from taking over and running the concessions
itself. Sounds odd. but it's true, nevertheless, that Cleve
land is doing the ice cream cone and soda pop business
directly.
Of course, the city doesn't go into that business to make
money.
Primarily, the object was to improve the quality of the
service rendered and to provide better sanitary conditions.
That's the same purpose Cleveland accomplished in the
establishment of municipal dance halls. It's the object de
sired in Seattle with the splendid opportunity to provide
clean, wholesome, enjoyable dancing at the l.eschi pavilion.
Cleveland has made good in municipal ice cream as well
three-cent car fares and municipal dance halls.
There's no reason why Seattle can't succeed with a mu
nicipal dance hall.

No Money Minimum
THOSE lowa clubwomen who want a law permitting no
couple to get married unless they have at least $200
are, we fear, fooled by a half-truth
The important thing in getting married is for the right
man to find the right woman.
Money is desirable, but secondary.
When the right man meets and mates the right woman,
he will work for her, she will work for him. both will work
for their children and somehow, barring exceptional misfor
tune, the money factor will take care of itself.
It's not at all bad discipline for love's young dream to
have to begin on a basis of economy and mutual sacrifice
More marriages are spoiled by beginning with too much
than with too little.
One of the happiest old grandpas we ever knew told
us that he and his bride ate their first meal as life partners
on a board stretched across two barrels. And it wasn't be
cause the furniture hadn't come, either. That and a stove
and a bed and two chairs, plus a few cracked dishes, were
all the furniture they owned.
Their scantiness of material belongings drew them to
gether; he hustled, she saved and they became prosperous—
but riches didn't spoil 'em.
A law making it possible for a man and woman in love
to have a fair chance to work, earn and save would be a fine
lav, if enforced.
Bat no money minimum for matrimony.

Worth Trying
TTERE ia a sentence from Frank Walsh's speech at the
TCT rfecent social center conference which ought to be studied.
**To form the habit of using the machinery of democratic
.assembly and discussion, which exists in our system of com
mon schoolhouses, so that we shall be able to use our heads
-instead of losing our heads over the economic problem, is
• olatter of social life and death, of reconstruction or destruc
tion of our society, the success or failure of democracy."
As chairman of the national commission on industrial re
lations Walsh looks ahead. He sees Paint Creek, Calumet,
Ludlow, ominous fore-runners of the appeal to force; and
he hopes instead for the appeal to reason.
History records the sway of force. But now we have
new factors—free schools, the democratic ballot, the way
to free speech if we have sense enough to take it.
Maybe these will save us.
They're worth trying.

Equal Pay for Equal Work
WHAT! Pay a woman school teacher as much wages
as a man, when any school board can get dozens of
women applicants for employment at present wages for every
vacancy ?
Thus the tones greet the equal suffrage, equal pay reso
lution adopted by the National Education Association of St.
Paul. And pass on, muttering about the eternal sanctity of
the law of supply and demand.
But, getting down to brass tacks, why not?
If the woman's teaching equals in social value that of the
man—and most folks agree that usually it does—why
shouldn't her pay equal his?
Is the community, too, to be an exploiter of womanhood?
To be sure, it "keeps taxes down "
Which is a fine thing for tax dodgers and those of large
wealth who always cry for low taxes, though if we were to
revise our taxing system so as to make privilege pay its due
•hare there would be plenty of revenue to pay women teachers
•s much as men and do many other just things as well.
Perhaps thafs the real, bedrock reason for the present
'discrimination against women—the fact that many men and
;«ome unwise women don't want just taxation.
Yes; we're pretty certain it Is.
