It is some comfort to know that ( jievor in hutuan history has a nation j iprown so rapidly. Since the republic j. tvas founded. a little more than a con j? <ur> ago. we hme multiplied our popu- | Jation by thirty. On an average wo i( have doubled our size every twenty flvt' years.

The one big fact that stands out of j I the result is that most of the growth I I In the last ilecadc has iwen in the It cities. Some of the country districts j ; have actually /gone backward.

Smaller Cities Grow. ; On flic whole, the smaller cities have j t (grown more rapidly than the larger i tones. The rate of increase in those | above 100,000 has been 31.8 per cent, j ^ while the showing Is 30.1 per cent In Imiuhc between 25,000 and 100,000. Six- ' K ftt*en of these smaller cities have more i a 'than doubled their population In the decade.

If San Francisco had enjoyed a ke growth she would have had In 010 a total df 800,383. Willie it is too much to claim that ut for her calandty she might have eachcd this result, since a large city , u./i ?ii?i u? Mui?w as great a percentge of Increase a? a small one under Imilar conditions, it is entirely within ounds to say that the city beside tho (olden fiate would have gone up to half million or 600,000 but for her lsaster. The more force is lent to lis contention by the fact that some f the increase In other California ities Is due to tlie fugitives from San 'ranclseo. Boston's Suburbs Separate. The Hostoiiians claim that the ceilis figures represent only a part?of ie population of their city, since llos>n actually Includes Cambridge and a n miter of other cities that are returni separately. If there were a greater oston, as there Is a greater New ork, her population would be 1.200,M instead of the 670,58ft now reirned. In like manner the Twin Cltler 'In I Minnesota fan con I e ml tiuit the two P arc essentially one ia all bat r.amcand that a true rating can only be given them by consolidation. Th?is If Minneapolis and St. Paul were combined ^ we should have 51(1,152, ranking as the %, ninth city in the country. 4. There arc many other cities that Rwould considerably augment their pop- 7 ulation by a little expansion. The case 8. of San Francisco, Oakland and IVerke1 ley has already been mentioned. Like- J? I wise Omaha and South Omaha prae- ; 72! tleally constitute one city. If the two is. were joined together tlioy would have h l.r?0.007 instead of the 124.000 given to Omaha now. The cities in northern 17, New Jersey would be most affected by j consolidation, however. Thus lOIIza- 1 beth, the Oranges and several stnuller ' a villages contiguous to Newark would ' 2z give the metropolis of New Jersey 123. more than half a million. Oayonne, | ^ Iloboken, West Iloboken and several | other towns nre really a continuation 27. of Jersey City. If those were added j 2sthe total population would run a clc.se j j?1 second to the greater Newark. j I 22 State Lines Retard Totals. ^ I 34 j All the expansions mentioned could ^ j be readily made, since the cities to be sc. ; consolidated arc in the same stales. ^ There are a number of cases, however. 39 win re state lines Intervene.
