Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nineteen Local Governments in Chicago: A Multiplicity of Overlapping Taxing Bodies With Many Elective Officials; Chicago's Greatest Needs Are the Unification of Its Local Governments, and a Short Ballot An edition Of copies of the report on the nine teen local governments IN chicago was exhausted in less than a year from its date Of publication, which was December, 1913. This second edition is printed in order that requests for copies of the publication may be met. Since the original report was issued the number of governments in Chicago has increased from 19 to 22 and the number of local elective Officials has grown from 236 to 251. There have been other changes that call for notice. The fact that the number Of governing bodies and Of elective officials is increasing, in face of the public demand for unification and the short ballot, is SO startling as to challenge attention. It is evident that the movement for consolidation Of governing bodies should be pushed with more vigor. It is gratifying to note that the Forest Pre serve Act was put into effect without the creation Of a new governing body, the Board of Cook County Commission ers having been made the agency for acquiring outlying wooded areas adapted to park uses. Consolidation Of the park governments with the City Of Chicago should be brought about without further delay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Politics and Politicians of Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois: Memorial Volume, 1787-1887; A Complete Record of Municipal, County, State and National Politics From the Earliest Period to the Present Time Beginning with the arrival of the first actual settler of Chicago in 1779, an attempt has been made to give in the following pages, on political lines, a clear idea of the unprecedented advancement of this great center of Western civilization, the rapid increase of population, and the speedy building up of business and society on a well-laid and secure foundation. The book will be found a non partisan medium of reference for many facts, incidents and reminiscences of national, state and city campaigns and conventions. It is hoped that it will commend itself to every person identified with politics, or interested in the political history of our country and of municipal government. Chicago is recognized as the great political center; nearly the center of population - the "Convention City." Illinois has furnished two of the greatest Presidents four terms, and for a quarter of a century the greatest campaigns have centered here, radiating from Chicago. Next year will be the one hundredth since the adoption of the ordinance of 1787, whereby the Northwest Territory was ceded to the United States, out of which territory the State of Illinois was formed. On the 4th of March, 1887, Chicago will have been incorporated as a city fifty years. We thus have both a centennial and semi-centennial anniversary worthy of commemoration. In this connection the book will be found to comprise a complete municipal history, from the organization of Cook county, the incorporation of the original town of Chicago, the foundation of the city government in 1837 up to and including the municipal election of 1886, with sketches of the various Mayors and administrations: inaugural messages, resolutions and ordinances of the City Council, official election returns, redistriction of the city by wards, valuable statistical tables, an account of the building of the City Hall, county statistics, etc., etc. The increase of population from 4,170 in 1837 to 750,000 in 1886, with no cessation in growth, is evidence that Chicago is destined to be one of the greatest, if not the chief city on the American Continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While state and federal prisons like Attica and Alcatraz occupy a central place in the national consciousness, most incarceration in the United States occurs within the walls of local jails. In This Is My Jail, Melanie D. Newport situates the late twentieth-century escalation of mass incarceration in a longer history of racialized, politically repressive jailing. Centering the political actions of people until now overlooked—jailed people, wardens, corrections officers, sheriffs, and the countless community members who battled over the functions and impact of jails—Newport shows how local, grassroots contestation shaped the rise of the carceral state. As ground zero for struggles over criminal justice reform, particularly in the latter half of the twentieth century, jails in Chicago and Cook County were models for jailers and advocates across the nation who aimed to redefine jails as institutions of benevolent transformation. From a slave sale on the jail steps to new jail buildings to electronic monitoring, from therapy to job training, these efforts further criminalized jailed people and diminished their capacity to organize for their civil rights. With prisoners as famous as Al Capone, Dick Gregory, and Harold Washington, and a place in culture ranging from Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle to B. B. King’s Live in Cook County Jail, This Is My Jail places jails at the heart of twentieth-century urban life and politics. As a sweeping history of urban incarceration, This Is My Jail shows that jails are critical sites of urban inequality that sustain the racist actions of the police and judges and exacerbate the harms wrought by housing discrimination, segregated schools, and inaccessible health care. Structured by liberal anti-Blackness and legacies of violence, today’s jails reflect longstanding local commitments to the unfreedom of poor people of color.
