Devine.
[178] POVERTY and playgrounds, increased efficiency in administra- tion, more adequate factory inspection, but these things cannot be had for nothing. They will cost vast sums. We try to evade the problem by in- sistence upon saving. We declare that if our city administrations were less extravagant and more effi- cient, we would be in a position to malie these neces- sary expenditures. In this emphasis on efficiency, without at the same time indicating our needs and the amount necessary... to meet them, we are disin- genuous. A business man applying this one-sided method to his business would never be called efficient.
The business man has a plan. He knows what he wants and proceeds to get it. Our social life is feeble in plan. It is in fact almost planless. If we are in earnest about the problem of poverty in our cities, we would present, without, indeed, any immediate hope for adoption, a budget that indicates just what it would cost to meet our social needs, and then we would proceed to indicate how the money could be secured to meet these needs and, finally, educate the public to be willing to pay these bills.
