Is a possibility. Whether or not the consolidations would equal the divisions Is uncertain, but any such plan would be more likely to add stars to the blue field of the American flag and members to the United States senate. No nation grows according to preconceived plan. At one time In the early history of America, Charleston, 8. C., was ax Important a port as New York city, and even Alexandria, Va„ was nearly so. Yorktown, V«., now a town of only 500 Inhabitants, was an Important port of entry. Benjamin Frnnklln, in his autobiography, tells of s contemporary of his who refused to buy a dwelling and Instead rented a house or lodgings because of his Arm conviction, lasting throughout hin life, that Philadelphia could not possibly Increase In slxe but would dwindle away and Investors In jpa«kl estate would lose. •}>< Growth la Problematical. It must be remembered that these cities were In existence under the Rritlsh crown for about the same length of time they have been under the American flag and yet the new republic was several decades old before It became a certainty that New York wa* to be the metropolis of the Western world. It took more than two centurlea for New York to reach an undisputed place In the front rank of American cities. It Is possible that, with the development of air transportation, Some other city, Chicago, perhaps, or 8t. Louis might yet outdistance her. So stste lines laid down generations ago do not At aa well now as they did originally and there Is occasional agitation for drastic changes. That other people In the world t esides Americans are Interested Is revealed by the fact that the proposal to make New York city and Ifn environs a separate state was the subject of s paper read before recent meeting of the British Aaaoelation for tha Advancement of Science. The erection of New York Into a new state would he the most Important of state-line changes. The Idea is by no means new. Fernando Wood, elected mayor of New York city In 1861. In the course of his inaugural address, declared his belief that the city should be separated from the state of New York or, perhaps, even from the United States Itself, becoming a free city under no sovereignty save its own. as were the famous free cltiea of Europe In earlier tlmea. Cauata Disharmony. The reasons are lK>th political and economic. New York city is Demo* cratic and because of its huge population often elects a Democratic governor and state officers. The rest of the state !« normally Republican, usually returning a Republican legislature. This means a certain amount of disharmony. New York city pays an enormous proportion of the total • tax bill of the state and citizens o(^ the metropolis pay for Improvements, roads, public works and the like. In .other parts of the state which they •ever use or even see. A similar suggestion has been made k> respect to 8t Louis and Its environs. It. too, la a great port and commercial center. In fact. St Louis ananufacturers and other business men. In their national advertising, already use the slogan, "The Fortjf- Klnth Stat*.*' „ Chicago baa been propoaed aa another new state. Here, again. Is a ease in which there Is a great metropolis paying a large share of the taxes of the state within which It ties. It is a lake port and, by way of the Wetland canal, a seaport. It la tfae greatest railway center in the country. It is often of different political complexion front the remainder of the state. It has been propoaed to divide, the Vast state of Texas, which formerty Was an Independent republic, into four states. The area Is so extensive (hat the type of peopie and the type af Industry and agriculture in some parts is greatly different from that efothe»m.
