The company was formed two years
ago with a small membership; one
year ago there were less than 100
members, with an average of 54l
shares each; this year there are 30S
stockholders, averaging 413 shares
apiece. One can easily see how rapid
~ the company is growing and that
il is not an association of wealthy
men. but one in which people of small
savings have a part. Another thing
that makes this company appeal TO
the investor who longs for a home
of his own, but who cannot afford
to risk his money on "A speculative
scheme. is the personnel of the off,

cally all Phoenix men who have made
a success of their own business and so

Builders stock is held in Phoenix and
50 per cent of the remainder is owned

home of f. II. Greene, the president

Another reason for the rapid growth
Of the Home Builders, is the fact
that it has paid dividends ever since

the past l. months the amount OF
working capital has been doubled and

to none in our purpose to maintain

10 the bench a long line of distin-
guished justices who have added to
the respect and confidence in which
this department must be jealously
maintained We resent the attempt
of the Republican party to raise a
false issue respecting the judiciary.
Ii is an unjust reflection upon
great body of our citizens to assume
that they lack respect for the courts.
II is the function of the courts to
interpret the laws which the people
enact and If the laws appear to work
econbmic, social or political lnjus
uce il is our duty TO change them.
The only basis upon which the in
tegrity of our courts can stand is
that of answering justice and pro-
lection of life. personal liberty and

be abused, we should guard them
against abuse.
