Looking for a Used Compass in your area?
CarGurus has 15,538 nationwide Compass listings starting at $2,950.
2007 Jeep Compass Overview
Looking to make a buck in the small-SUV market, Jeep broke into it in 2007 with not one but two vehicles. The Compass is more carlike and less rugged than its fraternal twin, the tougher-looking Patriot. Its maker calls it "The Urban Recreational Vehicle."
Since the Compass was released slightly ahead of the Patriot, it becomes the first front-wheel-drive Jeep. It's based on the Dodge Caliber, and its mission is to combine roominess and safety with fuel economy. It handles the roominess issue, as its cargo space knocks out the so-called cute-ute competition's, but it really makes an impression with safety. Not only is the Compass built with crumple zones, door beams, and an energy-transferring beam beneath the backseat, it also includes driver and front passenger multi-stage air bags with available side-curtain supplemental air bags, ABS, and traction control. There's even a knee bolster for the driver. It achieved a full 5 stars in the NHTSA side-impact crash test.
As for fuel economy, the 172-horsepower, 2.4-liter engine was designed for fuel economy; a 4x2 Compass may be able to achieve 30 highway miles to the gallon. Transmission choices are the 5-speed manual or an optional continuously variable automatic, a very smooth technology that constantly adjusts electronically to deliver what's needed in the driving situation, be it power or cruising efficiency.
Since this is an entry-level vehicle, the interior is unsurpringly plastic-laden. But it has a good number of practical storage spaces for cellphones and what have you, and the armrest on the center console slides to accommodate short and tall drivers alike. The design maximizes space, with the shifter angled out of the front area rather than straight out of the floor.
The list of standard equipment vs. options is a bit peculiar. A buyer must add power windows, air conditioning, and even a cigarette lighter, but fog lamps, airbags, stability and traction control, and a tire-pressure monitoring system are all standard.
Other interesting aspects of the Compass are a vinyl floor in the cargo area that can be hosed out and an interior overhead light that pops out of its holder/recharger for independent use as a flashlight. And here's something else: The speakers in the hatchback can be flipped outward when the hatch is open, directing the tunes in the direction of tailgaters.
And now, to answer the question of whether this Jeep product can leave the pavement: Yes, but it's no Wrangler Rubicon. The available Freedom Drive I 4WD system is superior to what comes on most competing cute-utes in that it includes a lock mode that holds torque distribution to an even split between front and rear axle. The braking system is excellent, and it features a rough-road detection sensor for improved safety on loose surfaces.
That said, the Compass is still intended to ride like a car, and its suspension is thusly tuned. As cute as it may be with its hatchback and its lack of boxiness, it's still a Jeep: The round headlights and seven-slot grille say it loud and proud.

Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms-children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well- lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction Manual contains important health and safety information that you should read and understand before using this software. AVOID DAMAC3B Xa YOUR XBLBVISIOM Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of gameplay may "burn in" to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner's manual to determine if video games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in the owner's manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played safely on your set.

You can win cars by finishing first in all races within a Career series. If you're connected to Xbox Live, you also have the opportunity to compete in your career online. - Racb Rbsxricxioms Races in Career mode are restricted to specific types of cars. Restrictions include car class, manufacturer region, power, and weight. If you're not in the correct car for a specific race, you must select a different car from your Garage, buy a different car, or modify your existing car. ■ MOMB RBC3IOMS A MP RARIXY Choosing a home region is important in Forza Motorsport, because it determines availability, cost, and rarity of the cars in your career. Entry-level cars, such as the Honda Civic or Ford Focus, are common (and thus inexpensive) in all regions. Middle- to high-level cars, such as the Nissan Skyline, Chevrolet Corvette, or Opel Speedster, are far more common in their home region and relatively rare (and thus more expensive) in other regions. Supercars, such as the Enzo Ferrari, Porsche Carrera GT, or Chrysler ME Four-Twelve, are equally uncommon and rare in all regions. The rarer your car is in your region, the more value it holds. Region also determines what aftermarket parts relationships you develop as you win money in your career (see page 11). After you choose a home region for a player profile, it cannot be changed. If you want to select another home region, you must create a new profile. You can buy and sell cars with other players, and this is a good opportunity to collect cars from other regions. Therefore, it is in your best interest to pick a region different from your friends', so you can buy and sell cars for profit that are rare in each other's regions. You can buy and sell over Xbox Live, via System Link, or between profiles on the same Xbox console. CARBBR I-BVBI-S AMD _ MAMURACXURBR RBI-AXIOMSMIRS As you progress to different levels, you unlock relationships with different manufacturers. There are two types of manufacturer relationships you'll unlock: Parts Manufacturers - Unlocking a parts-manufacturer relationship results in discounted parts being available in the Buy Upgrades area of the Garage. For example, a relationship with a tire manufacturer can lead to discounted tires. Car Manufacturers - Unlocking a car-manufacturer relationship results in previously locked cars from that car manufacturer being unlocked and available for sale. Occasionally, a car will be gifted to you. By increasing your difficulty, you increase your potential earnings. The guickest way to increase your earnings is by making the game more challenging. By default, damage and fuel/tire wear are enabled. Depending on the race, you might need to pit when those options are turned on. \ Regardless of home region, by advancing your career, you eventually will gain access to f all cars in the game. Region has no bearing on your language or your country of origin, nor does it affect which tracks are available to you. 4 ■ URC3RAPIISIC3 AMP 1"UMIM C3 Buy Upgrades Improve your car with a high-performance engine, drivetrain, chassis, and bodywork components. Add, remove, or sell parts from your car that you've already purchased (note: when you sell parts, you won't earn back the original purchase price). Upgrading a vehicle might move it out of its current car class; when this happens, you can uninstall parts if you want to return to a lower car class. ■ Engine and Power - Engines make power by burning a fuel and air mixture. To make more power, you must improve the engine's ability to breathe and thus burn more fuel. To improve breathing in Forza Motorsport, intake and exhaust upgrades reduce restrictions on air flow into and exhaust flow out of the engine; fuel and ignition upgrades supply higher fuel flow and a hotter spark for better combustion efficiency; and turbo and supercharger upgrades force more air into the engine. ■ Appearance and Aero - Customize your car's appearance to transform a generic car into /o(/rcar. Add front and rear spoilers and side-skirts to reduce wind drag, while increasing grip through higher downforce. Reduce weight with a carbon-fiber hood. ■ Chassis and Drivetrain - The chassis is the structure to which the body, engine, drivetrain, wheels, tires, and even passengers attach. This structure affects handling-how well a car grips the road and how accurately it responds to driver inputs. Improve the chassis by modifying the suspension and stiffening and lightening the structure. The drivetrain transmits the power of the engine into motion at the wheels and the energy of motion into heat at the brakes and tires. Improve the efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility of the drivetrain by upgrading the transmission, clutch, brakes, differential(s), wheels, and tires. When installing and uninstalling parts, you'll see the following icons: You own this part, but it isn't installed. You own this part, and it is installed currently. Additionally, as you select parts for your vehicle, you can see that each part has up to three different levels above the stock part: ■ Modified Part - This is an improvement over the stock setup. ■ Clubsport Part - This is an improvement over the modified setup. ■ Professional Part - This is the most advanced improvement for this setup and is designed for all-out racing. \ The Buy Upgrades area contains matched upgrade kits that are designed to improve ' your vehicle's performance. These Idts will always improve your performance, and combinations of upgrade kits will show even greater improvement. You don't run the risk of decreasing vehicle performance when buying and installing upgrades. However, tuning changes made to your car in the Tune Car Setup area can affect performance adversely if done incorrectly. 'V^HI bTuisib Car Sbxur Forzd MotorsportaWam you control over your car's chassis tuning. Then, you can benchmark and test drive your new settings and save or load your favorite chassis setups. Tuning is a complicated process. All of the tuning options are related to and dependent upon each other. Furthermore, there is no "right setting." The best setting will change by track, by car, and by driver. The ultimate test of a setup is on the track, so tune your car, and then go test drive to see the effects of your changes. CUSXOMIZB RAINIX l' Go to Customize Paint to make basic changes to your car's paint job. Here, you can alter the paint on your car's body, mirrors, hood, and wing. If you want to create a detailed, unique design, you must select Apply Decals. _arri-v dbcai-s The Apply Decals area is the most advanced livery editor of its kind. Here, you can add decals and create custom vinyl shapes and patterns on your car. You also can create custom skins that designate your Car Club. Layers / The building blocks for your car's custom design are called layers. Each layer can contain one element: either vinyl or a decal. You can stack layers on top of other layers to create any design you want. There are six parts to your car: top side (including the hood), left side, right side, front bumper, rear bumper, and the wing. Each of these six parts has 100 layers-for a total of 600 layers on all sides. (continued on page 16) Higher-numbered layers sit above lower-numbered layers-that is, if you have a layer 1 and layer 1 on top of each other, layer 1 will cover layer 1. Here is an example: If you want to place a decal on top of a blue vinyl oval, you'd first create the blue vinyl shape on a layer. ▼ Next, you'd The decal layer sits on the oval vinyl layer, because it has a higher layer number. If the decal had a lower layer number, it would be hidden below the oval. This is a very basic example-remember that each of the six parts of your car has 100 layers, so your design possibilities are endless. Layer Options Within the Layer Options menu, you can copy, paste, insert, or delete layers. You also have the option to copy all layers from one side of your car and paste them on the other side of your car. Copy Custom Design You can copy your car's custom design and paste it onto another vehicle of the same make and model. This is very useful for Xbox Live Car Club members who want to have a unique design that designates their club. oo racb - carbbr racb xyrbs y Amateur Races are single races, and the car restrictions aren't very strict.

N u 1 i y H DRIVERS' NOTEBOOK OUTSIDE-lNSIDE-OUTSIDE CORNERING To maximize cornering speed, use the entire width of the track to make every corner as wide as possible. This provides the largest radius through the corner, allowing the highest speed given available tire grip. B When approaching a corner, place your vehicle to the outside edge of the track until "turn in." Then, move from the outside edge to the inside edge at a point called "the apex"— somewhere near the middle of the corner. When past the apex, use the track's width to your advantage, moving back toward the outside edge as you complete the corner. Late and Early Apexing A "late apex" is an apex point after the geometric center of a corner. When late apexing, you give up some cornering speed, so there's more grip available to accelerate your car earlier. In some cases, the time lost because of the slower speed through the corner is made up for by the time gained through increased straightaway speed after the corner. An "early apex" is an apex point before the geometric center of a corner. Apexing early is less common, but it can be advantageous when driving through an increasing-radius corner (see page 18). You might try to apex earlier to maximize speed through a corner (by creating a wide line at the exit), but at some point, the line created runs too wide and off the outside of the track. liji IM m rl^ \H I Finding the Line to Maximize Speed Find the best path around the track for your vehicle and driving style. 1 . Drive at a slow pace around the track until you know the layout. 2. Begin to use the entire track width for all corners using very late apexes. This might seem unnatural at slow, non-race speeds. 3. Slowly work your speed up, and pull each apex back about three feet with each lap. 4. Eventually, you will need to use the entire width of the track on the exit of a corner. You are now very close to the vehicle's limits and should start moving apexes back in smaller increments. If you run off the outside edge of the track or must "turn in" again after you've passed your apex, you've apexed too early. 5. When you've worked up to speeds and apexes that force you to use the entire track, then you've found your baseline around the track. This line might be different across drivers, cars, conditions, and car setups. 6. Now, work on compromising certain corners to maximize your speed through others (where corners are close together). Generally, it's best to focus on corners with the longest straights after them, as the speed you carry through the corners will help you on the following straightaways. Use lap times and telemetry to determine the best compromises between corners. »•■'' M DRIVERS' NOTEBOOK (continued) Setting up the Pass Most passing happens under braking or coming off of a corner on to a straightaway. To pass under braking, first get as close as possible to the car in front of you. As you both approach a corner, move your car to the inside of your opponent and bring it alongside— try to have the nose of your car at least past the door of your opponent. ^ Brake later than the other car; with your nose ahead, your opponent " will not be able to make the turn. You now have "taken" the corner and are halfway through the pass. Drive through the corner (without hitting your opponent). Your opponent should fall in behind you; when that happens, you've "made the pass." Be aware that your opponent might try to re-pass you coming onto the straightaway (by late apexing), because the line you took through the corner was severely compromised to make the pass. If you have a faster car (or an evenly matched one), the safest place to pass is on the straightaway. If the cars are closely matched, you should be able to get close enough that your opponent has to start driving a protective (inside) racing line to keep you from passing in a braking zone. As the other driver brakes deeply on the inside of the track, swing to the outside of the track and prepare to hit a late apex. You should be able to drive to the inside of your opponent as you both exit the corner. Because you're on a late apexing line, you should have more speed onto the straightaway than your opponent, who's recovering from a very early apexing (protective) line. Blocking the Pass Passing often occurs in the braking zone. If a vehicle is close behind yours, you should protect the inside line while braking into corners. This isn't the fastest way around the track (and why a "qualifying line"— without opponents— is different from a "racing line"), but it will prevent the other driver from muscling in to the inside line. (If that happens, you'll be forced to drop behind or to take the outside edge of the track.) Even though you're driving more slowly using the inside line, it's far more difficult for the driver behind you to pass on the outside.

Net revenue from tuition is no longer keeping pace with inflation at about 4 in 10 American universities. Without the money, what will be lost?
Argentine university president argues that Google's business model could be applied to higher education.
The University of the District of Columbia cuts 20 academic programs to fix its financial problems, drawing faculty complaints about process and outcome alike.
California Governor Jerry Brown, a Democrat, warned the University of California Board of Regents Thursday, that the university system is going to need to look to internal savings to finance improvements, The Los Angeles Times reported. Brown spoke at a meeting at which the board approved a tuition freeze (consistent with the governor's thinking), but also a request to the state for $120 million beyond what he has proposed in his state budget plan. "The big, bad state is not going to bail you out at a rate that is different from what we are doing," Brown said. And he said that the university can't rely on its reputation for "quality and greatness" to get around budget realities.
"Remember that students, unfortunately, are the default financiers of higher education in America," he said. "We are going to have reshape the way things are done.... We are going to have to get into concrete trade-offs of how do you live within your means."
Carnegie Mellon University has announced a $67 million gift from the investor David A. Tepper. The funds will be used for a quad that officials plan as an "academic hub" for the business school and other programs.
University of California students need another tuition freeze in the coming year, and a more rational approach to tuition than the past mix of freezes and large percentage increases, Janet Napolitano said Wednesday, The Los Angeles Times reported. Napolitano -- the new president of the university system -- made the proposal to the university's Board of Regents. Over the long run, she said, the university must strive to keep costs to students and families under control. "I want tuition to be as low as possible, and I want it to be as predictable as possible," she said. Napolitano said that she wanted to work "to bring clarity to, and reduce volatility in, the tuition-setting process." She also said she wanted to increase the number of transfer students from the state's community colleges.
Today the Senate is holding a hearing on student aid and college access with a focus on simplification, in advance of the upcoming reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. Focusing on streamlining federal student aid and making the various programs more flexible is a well-reasoned approach in a fiscal environment where increases in federal funding for the programs appear unlikely. Here are three recommendations policy makers can apply immediately to simplify programs and increase college access:
1. Better align financial aid applications with college admissions by using prior-prior year
Each year a student is enrolled in postsecondary education, he or she must submit a FAFSA to be considered for federal student aid (grants, loans, work-study). Under the current structure, the FAFSA becomes available Jan. 1 and requires tax information from the prior year (PY). However, most students and families haven't even filed their taxes by then, making it difficult to complete the form in totality. This delay can cause an unfavorable chain reaction: a delay in submitting the FAFSA due to lack of tax information can result in a delayed financial aid award letter, which in some cases could lead to a reduced amount of financial aid, at least when it comes to aid that is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
The use of prior-prior year (PPY) income on the FAFSA would have multiple benefits for students and families. These benefits include the ability to: file the FAFSA earlier, often at the time they are applying to college; make better use of the current IRS data retrieval tool, which allows automatic population of a student's tax return data; receive notification of a financial aid package earlier; and streamline the college-going process by applying for financial aid the same time they are applying for admissions.
This would be welcome news for students who need financial aid the most -- who also happen to be the most likely to miss current financial aid deadlines and overestimate college costs, according to a study by researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago and an Illinois financial aid official.
The best part? The U.S. secretary of education was already given the authority to implement PPY over five years ago, so Congressional action is not needed to implement this idea.
While there are some concerns about using PPY as a proxy for current financial strength, it is important to remember that prior year information is also a proxy. The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators recently released a study on the impact of using PPY data and found that for most of the lowest-income students, using PPY versus PY did not greatly impact the amount of Pell that a student received.
2. Implement an early Pell notification, or "Pell Promise"
Low-income students often decide at an early age that college is too costly and therefore just "not for them." Enrollment data underscore this pattern, with 52 percent of low-income high school graduates enrolling in postsecondary education compared to 82 percent of high-income graduates, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Even for low-income students who do go on to college, many are self-selecting out of competitive or elite schools that would have been less expensive than where they ultimately attend. (This issue of "undermatching" has recently attracted significant attention from President Obama, as well as the first lady.)
One recent study of a sample of high school valedictorians found that only 50 percent of those from low-income backgrounds even applied to a selective university, compared to roughly 80 percent of the valedictorians from upper-middle and high-income families. Unfortunately, when a student decides early on that higher education is not an option, it impacts their high school coursework choices and college enrollment behaviors.
A "Pell Promise" -- a commitment of funds from the federal government as early as the ninth grade -- would make low-income students aware of their Pell grant eligibility in much the same way that the Social Security Administration disseminates information to citizens about the amount of social security they can expect in retirement.
While not technically a promised income, Social Security statements allow individuals to plan for an eventual retirement. A Pell promise would assure low-income students that a specific amount of funds would be available to them upon successful completion of high school and incentivize early college-going behaviors and patterns. Early studies from similar state-based programs, such as the 21st Century Scholars Program in Indiana, have shown that when students and parents know there are funds available to them for higher education, there are noticeable increases in college preparatory coursework and college going rates.
Identifying low-income students early would not be difficult given IRS data and other federal and state means-tested benefit programs. This change would also be easy to implement since the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) already authorized a similar demonstration program, although funds were never appropriated to fulfill the program.
3. Provide flexibility in the Pell Grant program through a "Pell Well" of funds.
The current system of Pell Grant delivery is based on the traditional spring/fall calendar and the traditional student. A student may wish to move through their program at an accelerated pace by taking courses each summer, yet under the current Pell Grant rules, that student would run out of Pell eligibility and be forced into loans to cover academic costs or defer additional enrollment until the next year. This structure is outdated and confusing to families, particularly as nontraditional students and innovative programs with nonstandard academic calendars proliferate.
To increase flexibility and encourage students to complete at a quicker pace, lawmakers could implement a Pell Well system, whereby a student's lifetime Pell Grant eligibility would be calculated when the student initially applies for aid. The student would then be able to draw funds from their well of Pell Grant at their own pace, not to exceed a certain amount per payment period.
This is different than how Pell eligibility is currently calculated, which is based on telling students annually how much they qualify for in Pell funds and then trying to explain future Pell eligibility as a percentage of full time enrollment. Students and parents understand dollars, not percentages, and they increasingly require predictability and flexibility. Such a change would both simplify and streamline the program, and incentivize continuous enrollment and higher retention and graduation rates.
As Congress considers various proposals through HEA hearings, and as grant makers and college access advocates continue to think of ways to reimagine student aid, we should remember that manageable and realistic changes like these could have a huge impact on college access and success.
Justin Draeger is president and CEO of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators.
The University System of Georgia Board of Regents voted on Tuesday to merge Kennesaw State University and Southern Polytechnic State University. The merger, announced on Nov. 1 as a foregone conclusion by the board, is now a sure thing. The merging itself will play out over the next several years and students will not attend the new institution, which will keep the Kennesaw name, until 2015.
The plan, which was announced to the surprise of most people on both campuses, met some opposition from students and alumni at Southern Poly.
The Georgia system has already merged eight institutions in an effort to, among other things, save money. So far, countless hours have been spent on the mergers, and historic institutions' names have been wiped off the map. And, so far, the 31-campus system has saved only about 0.1 percent -- an estimated $7.5 million -- of its $7.4 billion operating budget.
Harvard University recently announced an 11.3 percent return on its endowment, which was valued at $32.7 billion on June 30. That's the largest endowment in higher education. The university also recently announced a $6.5 billion fund-raising campaign -- the largest ever in higher education. But an interview released by the university Friday with its chief financial officer, Dan Shore, he focused on financial pressures on the university. He said that the university has a $34 million deficit. And while that's small in the context of the university's $4.2 billion budget, he said that "the path toward our ability to thrive in the future requires that we not wait until the deficit gets even bigger before we start to act, because then it will require us to be in a much more reactive position." He also noted uncertainty about federal support, on which Harvard relies for research.
In language that is similar to that used at many less wealthy colleges, Shore also said that Harvard can't simply add expenses. "The campaign helps, but, fundamentally, we can no longer live in a world where things continue simply to be additive," Shore said. "The next new and exciting thing that we think it's important to do can't simply be layered on top of all of the other things that we've been doing. It's just not a sustainable model. And I think the entire higher education industry is feeling the need to move away from that way of doing business."
Survey finds far fewer state systems experienced midyear cuts this year than last. But serious finance and capacity issues remain.

CRAIG ALLEN, PRESENTER: On Monday, we had a holiday for the city's 96th birthday, which was actually yesterday. On 12 March, 1913, Canberra was officially given its name by Lady Denman, the wife of the then Governor-General, at a ceremony on what is now Capital Hill. But in the preceding years, other sites had been possibilities - from Bombala to Jervis Bay, from Orange to Tumut and Dalgety. Some pretty fancy footwork went into the politics of the site selection, with five political heavyweights as key players in the drama. It's no coincidence that we have suburbs called Watson, Hughes, Fisher, Deakin and Reid. David Headon has their story and, courtesy of the National Film and Sound Archive, we have some footage from that day in 1913 which has never been shown before.
DAVID HEADON: On the first day of 1901, the separate colonies of Australia federated to create a Commonwealth.
Eight years after that, in November 1908, the battle of the sites, the long and controversial battle of the sites to confirm the new democratic nation's capital city, finally drew to an un easy close.
But, like all battles, this one had winners and wounded, heroes and vanquished. In this episode, we focus on a select group of five men; leaders who we might place, with validity, around the winners' camp fire.
You'll recognise each of them as suburbs of Canberra. Of the five in question, four are early prime ministers and the fifth, a Minister in successive Labor governments between 1910 and 1916.
Now, the portraits of the four prime ministers are hanging on permanent display in the elegant King's Hall of the Old Parliament House. So let's go and take a look.
There's this man, Chris Watson: Australia's third Prime Minister, the Labor Party's first Prime Minister, in office for a bare four and a half months, but a man destined to play a big role in the national capital's story.
And there's George Reid, Australia's fourth Prime Minister, and as canny a tactician as anyone in the national Parliament.
And Andrew Fisher, the Labor Party's second Prime Minister, Australia's fifth, a real favourite of our present Prime Minister, and a man destined to be in power for most of the key centenary years, from 1908 to 1915.
And Billy Hughes, the little digger, Labor man turned divisive National Party Prime Minister during most of the years of the Great War and beyond. His portrait now hangs in the National Portrait Gallery.
Last, but by no personality measure least, King O'Malley, the legendary King O'Malley, destined to put his indelible and unique stamp on the history of Canberra.
All of these formidable men in the public life of federated Australia were elected to the Commonwealth Parliament in the historic first national vote in 1901.
It was a Parliament which, according to Billy Hughes's biographer, Farmer White, constituted a, "… galaxy which has never since been equalled".
So let's start with John Christian, Chris Watson. We know that in the few short months that the fledgling Watson Government was in power in 1904, it could only manage one lonely piece of Federal legislation a seat of Government act for Dalgety.
If anyone might be permitted to stick with this premature political choice, it was Watson. A thoughtful, principle man born of sturdy, atypical stock, Watson is the only Australian Prime Minister to be born outside of Australia, or the British Isles. It was, in fact, in Valparaiso, Chile, of a Chilean- German father and an Irish New Zealand mother.
Watson spent his early years in New Zealand as a railway construction worker and a printer's printer. He came to Australia in 1886, finding a job as a stable hand at Government House in Sydney.
The story goes that, after a bit of a chat with the governor, Lord Carrington, he was given sixpence for a beer. Watson spent his money immediately on ... a book.
Keen rugby player, rower, deft cards and billiards player and voracious reader, Watson soaked up the politics of the trade union movement from an early age. It would soon lead to a remarkable political career in the infant Labor Party. Here he is, in his later 20s, with fellow NSW parliamentary Labor Party members in 1895.
Watson would soon prove to be as important as any one of the bigger name Federation founders in reshaping a colonial politics previously based on narrow free trade or protectionist loyalties into the ideological and philosophical modern, Australian political divide of Labor and non Labor forces.
But it was the intense politicking of the early national parliaments, including his own short Prime Ministership, that took a severe toll on Watson's health. By his own admission, the experience knocked his nerves to tatters.
Perhaps that is the reason why he adopted the national capital's cause. For Chris Watson, the capital of his adopted country was not just a national priority; it was a passionate, personal crusade.
But why Canberra? Biographers have suggested that Watson's Canberra interest involved this unlikely chap long term elderly Usher of the Black Rod in the NSW Legislative Council, Stuart Mowle.
It was probably Mowle who encouraged Watson to go and see the Canberra site for himself at first hand. Few men were better equipped than the forbiddingly erect Stuart Mowle to assess the various southern sites as future capitals. He had a soft spot for the south-eastern corner of NSW, having lived on the limestone plains and in the Brindabellas, and ridden all over the southern country from the mountains to the sea. Looking at this photo, I am willing to admit it's a bit of a stretch to imagine Mole as a man from Snowy River. You'll just have to take my word for it.
Chris Watson was Mowle's federal parliamentary member in South Sydney. Watson evidently listened to the Usher of the Black Rod and, not averse to a bit of adventurous travel, went and saw Canberra for himself.
There's Watson with Sir William Lyne and Billy Hughes, amongst others, on the 1902 Tour of the Senators, wryly amused in the background as Lion struggles manfully to get his prodigious bulk over a rabbit-proof fence.
In mid August 1906, we know for sure that Watson was one of the 36 senators and reps to disembark at the Queanbeyan railway station on a crisp, but dazzling, late winter Monaro morning, ready to run the slide rule over this emergent contender, Canberra.
Chris Watson, as always, cut a commanding figure within the group. One member of the large party was heard to remark that "Watson always comes out on top".
And he was determined to get his way with the capital. After this watershed visit by the parliamentarians on the brightest of all possible days, Canberra's stocks soared.
Watson took it upon himself to become Canberra's principal advocate in the Parliament. In the House of Representatives, then in Melbourne, this was his classic summary of the superior credentials of the Canberra site.
(voiceover): There is the plain in the centre and foothills all around. Beyond that, we have on the southwest and south the Murrumbidgee mountains towering as background. There are mountain gorges which afford every diversity of scenery. And I have been informed by trout fishers that there are most interesting places in the heart of the mountains, full of beauty and within a short distance of the suggested site. I do not say that picturesqueness alone should decide the question, but other things being equal, I think that the beautiful ought to turn the scale.
DAVID HEADON: Watson privately rued the fact that so many members of the inaugural national Parliament did not get to see the Canberra site soon enough, including himself. Had he seen it earlier, he wrote, "I should not have voted for any other."
George Reid was undeniably one of Australia's most significant founding fathers. For many decades after his death in 1918, Reid's reputation suffered because of the judgments of one or two of his equally illustrious contemporaries.
The sometimes jealous, ever manipulative Henry Parkes called him a 'babbling lunatic'. Then there was Alfred Deakin's acerbic diary enter in his posthumous book 'The Federal Story', not published until 1944, which would influence the opinions of a whole generation of Australian political scientists, post-World War II.
It is no flattering portrait.
(voiceover): Even caricature has been unable to traverse his extraordinary appearance, his immense, unwieldy, jelly-like stomach, always threatening to brake his weight band, his little legs apparently bowed under its weight to the verge of their endurance. His thick neck rising behind his ears, rounding to his many-folded chin.
He had no taste for literature, for art, newspapers satisfied his taste. He was fond of society and social amusements, but even at the theatre his preference were for those of the crowd. In other respects he resembled Henry Parkes, for he was inordinately vain and resolutely selfish, a consummate politician even more cunning, if anything excelling Parkes in variety and violence of vituperation.
DAVID HEADON: The Victorian protectionist Deakin was clearly no admirer of the New South Wales free trader Reid, but Deakin is dead right that Reid was a consummate politician. According to his biographer, Reid was "the best platform speaker in the empire".
More significantly, he was the most outspoken defender of social and economic liberalism in either the NSW or the Australian parliaments.
Reid fought aggressively for what he believed in, and just about always got what he wanted. Audiences loved his quick wit and sharp humour. When a woman called out to him on the hustings that, "If I were your wife I'd poison you." Reid is said to have replied, "Madam, if I was your husband I'd poison myself."
On another occasion a heckler took issue with his bulging stomach, precociously asking when the baby was due and what it would be called. Reid replied, "If it's what I think it is, all piss and wind, I'll call it after you, young fella."
But a flair for showmanship should not cloud Reid's crucial role in the Federation debates of the 1890s. From 1895 to 1899 he virtually single-handedly gained a more democratic, more accessible constitution for coming nation.
And we should not forget that it was Reid who, as Premier of NSW, convened the secret Premiers meeting in 1899, at which it was confirmed that NSW would host the capital site.
At first, Reid favoured the western sites of Bathurst, Orange and nearby Lyndhurst.
However, when it became clear in 1906/07 that the more remote southern sites of Albury, Tumut, Bombala and Dalgety were serious contenders, Reid eventually swung his formidable weight behind Canberra.
He and Watson took turns in the House of Representatives to disparage Dalgety, the prime pick of West Australian surveyor and noted explorer Sir John Forrest. Reid was especially keen to knock the charismatic Forrest off his perch, and probably succeeded when he suggested in the house that Forrest had acquired all his surveying experience in the desert. Hardly a qualification, Reid wryly observed, for having an opinion about prosperous, abundant east coast NSW.
In the last months of the capital debate in late 1908, Watson and Reid astutely recognised that they were surrounded by too many nervous politicians, conscious of the opinions of their distant constituencies. The site known as 'Canberra' might just be too specific, too prescriptive, to get up in a parliamentary vote of continent wide politicians. They strategically conjured the less definite, more diplomatic, less geographically threatening, district of Yass Canberra.
And so it was, in the final votes of October and November 1908, that Yass Canberra triumphed over a number of other options, one of which was - Canberra.
With deft sleight of hand, Chris Watson and George Reid obtained their desired result.
In later years, others emerged to play their sometimes supporting, sometimes principle roles in the Canberra story.
Let's look briefly at three of them. Thanks to the genuinely iconic cinematograph footage of the foundation stone ceremony, directed by that doyen of the Australian silent film era Raymond Longford, we find them sharing the same podium on Capital Hill on 12 March 1913.
Andrew Fisher, Billy Hughes, and King O'Malley.
Atop the podium that dusty day, Prime Minister Andrew Fisher had just three more months to run in a precedent setting period, during which his Labor government had gone full term.
It was his second time in the job.
The first time, he had come to power against the odds, just one week after the Senate voted for Yass Canberra over Tumut on 6 November, 1908.
Thus, one of Fisher's first nation building tasks was to see the seat of government act of 1908 successfully through to legislation. Indeed, in the period from late 1908 to 1915, no less than three Fisher governments would be in power in Australia.
The cumulative effect was both permanent and profound.
In October 2008, Prime Minister Rudd launched the first substantial biography of this seminal Federation-era figure. Perhaps our present Prime Minister should introduce the accomplishments of our fifth Prime Minister.
KEVIN RUDD, PRIME MINISTER: Fisher introduced legislation to establish this nation's capital, Canberra.
Andrew Fisher should be honoured in Australian history as a political pioneer, as a social reformer and a great Australian nationalist committed to the great task of Australian nation building.
DAVID HEADON: David Day's fine biography provides Mr Rudd and all of us with an abundant of history. Fisher was a political leader, legislator, and administrator of integral importance to the early history of our nation.
Coming to office for the first time on 13 November 1908, he recognised immediately that, in his words, "the-seat-of-Government question must be got out of the way".
It had gone on for far too long. Fisher took immediate steps, appointing as his Minister for Home Affairs Hugh Mahon. Within a month of coming to office, Mahon had issued his visionary instructions to surveyor Charles Scrivener. These instructions confirm for us that the second national Labor Government appreciated the scale of its responsibility on this vital question.
(voiceover): The surveyor will bear in mind that the Federal capital should be a beautiful city, occupying a commanding position with extensive views, and embracing distinctive features which will lend themselves to the evolution of a design worthy of the object, not only for the present, but for all time.
DAVID HEADON: When Prime Minister Fisher articulated his thoughts for the nation's capital city on the March 1913 podium, he too imagined an elevated future.
(voiceover): Here on this spot in the near future – and, I hope, the distant future too - the best thoughts of Australia will be given expression to. I hope this city will be the seat of learning as well as of politics, and it will also be the home of art.
DAVID HEADON: While Billy Hughes was neither temperamentally attuned, nor indeed destined to play a leading role in the national capital's big picture, he was very, very good on the finer grain detail. Several decades after the battle of the sites had concluded, Hughes infectiously captured some of the flavour of earlier, more innocent times in the autobiographical volumes he penned in his 80s, when he finally sat down to reflect on a long and turbulent life.
(voiceover): The story of how the Parliament of the Commonwealth came to choose Canberra as the seat of Government is a chapter of history about which lingers the fragrance of romance.
DAVID HEADON: If there is one actor in the capital drama who has more of this 'fragrance of romance', than any other, it is King O'Malley. So fragrant that the redoubtable Michael Boddy and Bob Ellis used the barely credible details of O'Malley's life as inspiration for their renowned musical, 'The Legend of King O'Malley' in 1970. A production so popular that it has been widely credited with kickstarting a new era in Australian theatre.
John Bell directed that first production his first in an illustrious, continuing career.
Soon we hope to do a program devoted to O'Malley. His eccentric character, brash American manners, economic acumen and personal charisma.
Well, I'm out of breath and out of time. I look forward to bringing you more of Canberra's wonderful history in 2009. See you then.
CRAIG ALLEN: Thanks to the National Film and Sound Archive, the National Library and the National Archives for their assistance with this project. Damian Porombka was the editor and co-producer. The five episodes we've produced to date are being rolled out in ACT schools as part of this year's history curriculum.
