What reading level is The City, the Hope of Democracy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is doubtful if it is more prevalent in public than it is in private business. Public affairs are conducted in the open, they are under the scrutiny of competitors; prices paid are always accessible, and the methods of checking in vogue are more elaborate, if not more effective, than those in private concerns. Further than this, in many cities, all purchases in excess of a small minimum can only be made after competitive bidding. In large contracts, the city often buys more cheaply than does ...the private individual.

Evidence shows the same to be true in federal affairs. The malfeasance in the postal depart- ment, the interior department, in Congress, and elsewhere has grown out of the relationship of the government to the railroads carrying the mails, or desiring to secure to themselves or their offi- cials large tracts of land, timber, or other rights.
