Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Municipal Reform Movements in the United States There are very few municipalities in our country where a reform movement would have no reason for existence. Too often, however, the mention of a reform movement conveys the idea of destruction, an immense amount of tearing down, so that it has come to pass that the so-called practical reformer is almost as much dreaded as the practical politician. On the other hand, it is true that many a reform must tear down, in order that the ground may be prepared for the superstructure of improved conditions; but it is also a fact that certain reforms, destined to accomplish permanent results, are expending their utmost energies on the constructive phases of their work. To illustrate concretely: the recent action of the London County Council in insuring the lives of all the workmen who are engaged in the dangerous parts of the work of constructing the tunnel under the Thames is a reform in the right direction, and there are organizations that are striving to secure an increasing regard for the claims of life, in preference to those of property. The differences in the two phases of reform may again be illustrated by the work of the Society for the Prevention of Crime and of the City Vigilance League, the efforts of the former being along destructive and of the latter along constructive lines.
