Only those who have longed for
home where there was breathing
space and elbow room can realize
Just how hard it is for family of
moderate means to live comfortably,
well-housed and in pleasant sur
roundings in any of the nearby SUI
burban places.
It is a pity the builders of the
South are, maybe unconsciously, fol-
lowing the northern custom of erect
ing jig-saw houses in the newly
opened suburban resident sections.
There is scarcely a town Of any
size in the South which has a suffi-
cient number of small dwelling for
the residents, and absolutely none
for the photographed new
conner.
Despite the jokesmltns, the back
to-nature move is a serious one to
many who have dweIt long in over
crowded cities.
The glare of lights, the hardness
of pavements, the blare and noise in
cident to the life Of all small towns
begins to pail on many who have
not yet reached middle-age, and the
longing for the clean, quiet open
country, Or the more populous SUI
burban town grows irresistible.
Why is it municipalities are, al
most without exception, blind and
deaf to the desirable class of people
who would be drawn to the small
town which enabled the man Of
moderate means to live Gin a house
by himself"
Real estate dealers and investors
seem all to be bitten with the same
bug when it comes to erecting dwell
ings for renters; the houses are
either too ornate and in localities de-
manding too high rent for the man
on salary, or else they are Of a
dreary sameness which makes them
uninhabitable to those whose purses
may be slim but whose longings for
home comforts and cOnveniences are
not to be stifled.
The cry in the South now is for
newcomers; every small town, every
Southern village, could welcome
some Of the overflow from Northern
cities, but no provision is made to
induce those who are desirable.
Life in the South is less complex
and less expensive than in the North,
and we have long prided ourselves
on the possession Of q dignity which
money could not add to nor take
from. But when it comes to hOus-
ing the stranger within our gates,
we take little trouble to provide him
with a home as comfortable Or as
convenient as might readily and
cheaply be given him.
The longing for home Of ones
own is a passion with most people,
and one that it is hard to stifle or
eradicate.
We do need "settlers" in the
South, and we need them badly, but
we will first have to erect homes for
them which are an improvement on
those provided for the average mill
hand.
Take stock Of the smaIl-town pos
sibilities of your town and your
nearby residence section, and see if
it doesn't answer the question, "Why
are we growing SO slowly"
If we could eliminate politics as
the word is understood today and
apply the money, time and strength
to municipal development, the South
would soon come into her own, and
the labor question would become a
dead one altogether.

ARIZONA CONSTITUTION
AMENDED IN REPORT
Senate Body Wants Provision
That Recall Shall Not Ap-
ply to Judiciary.

Presenting the report Of the Senate COM
mittee on territories on the House bill
providing for the approval Of the con-
stitutions of Arizona and New Mexico,
Senator William Alden Smith Of Michi-
gan, chairman Of that committee. today
gave notice Of an amendment to the
Arizona constitution requiring the people
of that territory to so modify their con-
stitution as to provide that the recall pro-
vision shall not apply to the judiciary.
Mr.. Smith was fresh from the White
House, and, while he did not profess to
quote the President, the proposed action
is In strict accord with the views of
Mr.. Taft. Mr.. Smith expressed the opin-
ion that if the joint resolution should be
adopted as it left the House it would be
vetoed.
'Most anxious that the resolution
should become a law, and without delay,
shall suggest the modification as the
only means of guaranteeing that result"
he said, in explaining his motive.
Dependent on Adoption.
If adopted the amendment would re-
duire that the question of amendment
should be submitted to the voters, and
admission would be dependent upon its
adoption Under the resolution as 1t
passed the House the constitution would
stand accepted il the modification should
fail of acceptance.
The President has let the fact be
known that in the House form the reso-
luton cannot have his approval. 1t is
freely admitted that even II taken out
Of the constitution the judiciary recall
requirement could be made the subject
of statutory enactment, and this fact has
been strongly urged as a reason for the
acceptance of the Smith amendment.
The question has been canvassed on
both sides of the Senate chamber, and.
so far, only republican insurgent senators
hold out against it. They wish the fed
eral Endorsement Of the recall principle
