MANAGING THE CITY

the town and let th« commission run
it.
Once you get the habit of politics,
it is very hard to quit. When the
first I>es Moines commissioners, who
were hard-working businessmen, had
done their turn of public service, some
of them were glad to retire. And
every time a good man retired, a hun
gry politician was glad to take his
i place . The people of Dos Moines
more or less suddenly awakened to the
fact that they had the wolf of politics
in sheep's clothing of commission gov
ernment.
It is not meant to imply, however,
that commission government has been
a failure in Des Moines. No charge
of dishonesty or corruption has been
made against any of the commission
ers, but all of them are charged with
playing personal politics instead of
attending to the city business. Two of
, the present commissioners are de
scribed as old politicians. A third is
a labor union representative. The
Fourth is a contractor, and the only
candidate on the businessmen's ticket
who was successful at the last elec
tion. The mayor-commissioner is a
former college professor.
This commission is said to be di
vided by petty jealousies and misun
derstandings. It has brought adverse
criticism upon itself and commission
government, whereas Ave years ago
Des Moines was back of its commis
sion to a man.
Even under these circumstances,
however, commission government in
Des Moines is undoubtedly an im
| provement over the old regime. The
j reoord of achievement in municipal
! progress since the commission form
was adopted—much of It lapping over
into the present, turbulent times —has
been equaled by few cities. The gas
rate has been reduced from $1 to 90
cents, and the gas company has Just
been compelled to pay back to con
sumers $114,000 improperly collected
after the commission fixed the rate
i schedule. The company fought the
case with might and main, spending
hundreds of thousands of dollars and
going to the United States Supreme
Court. The city defended It and won
it at a total expense of $23,000. exclu
sive of the regular salaries of the cor
poration counsel and his assistants.
A civic center has been established
| on both sides of the Des Moines river
| that flows through the center of the
town. Here the commission has built
a handsome city hall, costing $423,000,
JTt lias built four steel and concrete
bridges as an expense of more than
i half a million, and has put up retain
ing walls and parked the river banks
! at a cost of $120,000.
For ten yers, under the old form of
government, the people of the city
had been trying to get a viaduct
across the railroad tracks, connecting
the retail and Industrial sections of
town. It couldn't be built because
the aldermen Quarreled about which
street it should be on. The commis
sion promptly built it, spending $150,-
000 therefor.
Eight public playgrounds have been
established and swimming pools have
been built in two of the high schools,
Two public, eighteen-hole golf courses
are maintained under the park sys
tem. It was discovered that valuable
property in the business section was
underassessed, and the commission
employed experts to fix values scienti
fically. with the result that $27,000,000
of taxable value was added to the as
sessment rolls, thereby enabling the
commission to reduce the city tax levy
from an average of 39 mills to 32
mills.
Motorization of fire departments is
receiving attention in all cities of any
size. In Des Moines, the apparatus
was changed in one year from horse
drawn to motor-driven at a cost of
sllO 000. Miles of good street paving
have been laid, the public lighting has
been vastly extended and one-half the
sewer system of the city has been
put in since the commission form of
government was adopted.
MUSIC FESTIVAL
OF EDUCATION IN AMERICA
V
By Dr. Ernst Kunwald, Conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
I believe that the way for America'
! to become a musical nation is for all
! the people, young and old, rich and
j poor, to with to play good music.
, When you play music yourself, serious
l music, Chamber music, you at once be-
I come a better listener, because the best
| music, the music that has been taken
! from the rich storehouse of the genius
|of the world must be understood, it ;
I must be studied, and the way to study
j a thing is along the line of perfecting
) yourself in it. The more you study
! music, the more cultivated your mind j
| becomes, and the more you play classl
j cal music, the more you realize all its
j variations, its difficulties, its power, j
j the inspiration which gave birth to it
and the joy which its production mustj
forever give the world. The reason
that I believe in symphonic institu- J
tions is that I am confident that peo- 1
pie who attend the symphony orchestra {
regularly, who grow to love it, who fol- j
low the music with intelligence as well ;
j as emotion, will eventually desire to
I play the music, and once we have audi
ences for our coucerts. who are musi
t cians themselves, we will begin to ere- j
ate great music in America.
"So that the lack in America is not
so much what you call culture, for 11
find very many sincere music lovers in
J this country, people who. are willing to
make heavy sacrifices to bring beauti- j
! ful music to their friends and fellow-;
I countrymen, people who care more to
| hear music than for any other artistic
I pleasure; but I do find a serious musi
j cal lack, namely, that the great ma
! jority of people in the audience have j
! not the desire to play themselves.
I "I believe that, through the musical j
1 festivals, such as we have had in Cin- j
cinnati for a great many years, we will j
not only widen the interest in music, j
but we will help to create the desire to
: produce and to execute music, because \
i the people who come together in these
; festivals are people who have worked
; hard for the privilege of singing and
playing in them. A two years' train- \
ing is necessary for any chorus before
I it is permitted to appear in the Cin- j
cinnati May Festival. And I am con-!
vinced that two years' training with
rich and beautiful music, in the atmo- i
sphere of people who love music, is
I going to bring about inevitably in
most of the workers the desire to be
! come actual musicians, not merely
music listeners or music, performers.
You see, these festivals are not made
; up of what is usually called Ihe trained
j musician—they include children from
the schools, people from all over the
city, with, of course, some famous
' singers for the leading parts, the Cin
| cinnati Orchestra to bear the burden
I of the accompanying work.
"It has been the custom in a good
many Western cities to hold what we
called spring festivals—a series of con
certs by a local chorus doing a certain
i amount of good work with one or two
j famous singers and an orchestra from
' some other city. A limited number of
rehearsals are held and an oratorio is
, given, a symphony concert and prob
| ably a popular concert. This is a good
I thing for the cities, for the people, for
I musical progress, but it is not enough.
I hope 1 do not prove myself too much
of a local patriot when I sav that the
Cincinnati festivals have for many
years been established on a more artis
tic and practical basis. We can boast
| a chorus for our city which is com
-1 posed of tiie same people who have
been members of it for twenty or thirty
| years, and for a long time this chorus
| has devoted two years for the prepara-
I tion of works to be given in five days.
I There can be no question that these
I festivals are of the greatest value in
; developing musical taste, in helping
! the people to become musicians, in en
-1 larging the culture of the whole com
munity, and incidentally, too, in help
ing the city as a business center. Our
May festivals are the greatest oratorio
! celebrations of the Middle West, and
j I do not believe that they can be over
t estimated if you want here in America
i to become a great musical nation as
vou have become a great commercial

' nation—a nation of busiuess geniuses.
J "I find the interest in music in the
Cincinnati Public Schools is growing;
dally. I am one of the advisory com-1
i mittee in public schools on musical
matters. I see the school people and
: the schoolchildren are very much in
■ terested in having nie superintend
their orchestra work, and pupils from
these classes come to our afternoon
concerts regularly. For the social j
; community also I feel that such musi
cal work as we are doing here is im- j
1 portant. It must of necessity heighten j
the standard of culture. If people
want good music and have it, and grow
i to understand it, love it and play it,;
they will inevitably feel the urge for |
tlner art and painting and sculpture. l
j They will want more intelligent dra- ;
; matic presentations, they will want the j
| truer and better home architecture.
I In other words, is not all art impulse
i one and the same desire for beauty, ]
only flowing out through different
channels; so that if it is cultivated
along one line it is bound to seek the
various outlets that are essential to it?
"And artistically, too, I believe that j
: for a city to be a musical center must
be a valuable and significant thing for
(the civic growth and improvement. To
begin with. It must bring together peo
| pie who love music, who have artistic ;
| standards, and in bringing together
such a community an audience Is fur
: nished not only for good music but
: for art and literature.
"A gr'eat factor in our musical life i
is our symphony orchestra, about
, which, as it is connected with me per
sonally, I rather like not to say too
| much, but asked about the tastes and J
| likings of the public of our symphony
! concerts I have to say that there are
no very great differences, so far as
modern music is concerned, between I
American and European audiences. In j
European audiences where there is
something which the people are not ac-:
customed to. they do not like it in the
beginning, they have to become accus- j
I tomed to it. It is not that America is j
Iso far behind in her appreciation,—
| the same condition obtains everywhere.
I A popular novelty has an immediate i
! hearing and an immediate response,
but with the serious music which is
new 1 find everywhere that training is :
| necessary to bring about a genuine ap
preciation. Where it Is impossible to 1
give a complicated modern novelty I
l twice in a season or two consecutive
j seasons, because of the restricted mini- j
; i ber of concerts, as for instance in Cin-1
cinnati, I recommend very hinghly the
1 institution of lectures, such as I have
' j accustomed myself to give before the
'! performance of a difficult work. For
instance, the last time I gave a Britck
| ner symphony the people were not very
enthusiastic, but before performing a
Bruckner symphony again I gave a lec
' ture to my public, in which I told them
' many things about this work, and
[ played parts from the score, and I am
confident that, at the next concert which
1 I am to give, the Bruckner symphony
' will be understood with a great deal of
[ interest and pleasure.
"So much for the symphony concerts.
• | For the popular concerts, of course,
quite a different policy must be fol
! lowed. It is very natural that the ma
jority of the people in a country which
' has not specialized in music should
prefer popular to severe classic music,
[ but I find that it is possible to ac
; custom audiences to the higher type
iof music. This is just what lam aim
-1 ing to do in our popular concerts in
Cincinnati. I am bringing before the
; people music they know, then I am
bringing modern serious music with
| colorful orchestration, and in the same
program I am adding the purely clas
. sic.
"The greatest, difference between
American and European audiences is
! not in the degree of liking and under
standing modern music novelties or
popular music,—it consists in their
different attitudes toward the classics,
—pure classics, especially Haydn,
: Mozart and Beethoven, —here the prin
ciple proclaimed by me in the begin- j
i ning must be remembered. The
greater the number of persons in an j
audience who themselves play, Cham
ber music or four-handed piano ar
rangements, etc., the most genuine the j
appreciation of the classics. The rea
son for this is obvious. The modern
concert goer is accustomed to the
richer sound of the usual popular and
modern symphony works. The beauty
of music in a modern orchestra is like!
a beautiful person wonderfully and
elaborately dressed: what reaches you j
i first is not the human beauty but the I
| elaborate costume. I feel that to be
' come real music lovers in America we
must understand ihe beautiful body of;
music, as well as to enjoy the ricli
orchestration. It is just as if you
wanted to be a true student of human
be auty and only looked at people who
were very much dressed up. The ar
tist who paints the human being most
beautifully is a student of the nude.
1 "The beauty of our great classics,
Haydn. Mozart and Beethoven, is just
in music what the simple human body
is in comparison with wonderful dres
sing, but to understand this heavenly
inward harmony and richness you
; must study the nude in music as in art,
and this means careful, untiring, per
sonal work.
"The composers I have found most
popular with Cincinnati audiences, —
Beethoven, Wagner and Tschaikowsky,
—are here, as everywhere, the most be
loved. For reasons above mentioned,
there is in American audiences to be
found a certain beginning of weaken
ing interest in Beethoven in compari
son with Wagner and Tschaikowsky.
These three musicians are all deeply
i passionate and great in conception, but
Beethoven's symphonies are somewhat
-1 lacking in the gorgeous modern or
chestral color which makes the works
k 1 of the other two so strongly appealing.
"It is my firm belief, however, and
a belief which has often been endorsed
in Cincinnati by facts, that with fre
quent performances of Beethoven given
• due care and genuine enthusiasm, the
torch of admiration will never be ex
, tinguished. If Beethoven is presented
: often enough the eyes and ears of every
I generation, every nationality, will be
open to the real greatness of this mas
': ter of all masters, whose works, even If
II less brilliant in color, are the most im
posing structures which the art of
j symphony has brought forward up to
: | the present day.
j "I could resume the policy of the
modern conductor as I see it, in the
resolution to try to give every school,
. from Bach to Strauss and Debussy,
the best prepared and most enthusias
tic readings possible, and at the same
time see the holiest duty in putting
the great classics, and especially Beet
hoven, before the public in their iui-

mortal beauty and greatness.
"Just as soon as people love music j
j in this way there will never again be
j the question of whether or not an or- i
j ehestra can be self-supporting, because j
; of course it will be possible for an or-,
ehestra to be self-supporting with all:
the people wanting it, loving what it j
j can give them and needing it in their
j artistic life.
■ "But as it stands to-day the only ]
i truly self-supporting orchestra I Isuow
:is in Europe—the Philharmonic Or- i
ehestra in Berlin, which 1 had the
; honor of leading for five years. Even i
this orchestra in Berlin was very much |
, | helped at times and was decidedly!
I elated to receive a subsidy of sixty
thousand marks a year from the rau
! nicipality. I do not think as matters
. j are in America that even in the next j
, thirty years we shall have self-sup- j
, | porting orchestras; for in America the
, | expense of support ing an orchestra is j
■ | greater, and as yet the response from j
.i the people is not so large.
■ ! "In addition to what can be accom-
L plished through our musical festivals,
. through our work in the symphony or
! ehestra, I am very much interested in
[ the possibility of having opera here in
, Cincinnati. I believe that many of Our
L large cities should have their own
• opera just as is the case throughout
; Germany.
, "I have no idea of establishing a
_! duplicate orchestra,, which I believe
was recently mentioned in the Musical
Courier in New York, because I think
_ we have work enough to care for the
, one orchestra in which we are inter
l ested, and 1 do not think at present it
could be duplicated with benefit to the
! i city. My idea is to use the Cincinnati
» Symphony Orchestra not only for con
' certs, but for the opera as well. Of
t course, it would not be possible to
. have opera on the scale of the Metro

What we want opera for in this city is
something more important than either
of these matters. We want it in order
j to produce through it the great talent
in our music schools, we want to use
■ home talent for the production of a
beautiful opera. I believe that this
should be done in Cincinnati, that it
I should be done in every city that has
a symphony orchestra. I believe even
tually we should have very good per
formances, not only in French, Italian
and German, but in English, which so
: many of the American people crave.
It seems to me that to use operas in
