BY CAMERON LANpoN.

Chicago, Oct 1.-The high cost OF
living at last has been set to useful
work. 1t is diligently building sky
scrapers and apartment buildings. In
Chicago the credit for a large part of
the years building, and the total will
be over $1O0,000,000, will be due to
what has been accomplished by har-
Messing the demand for higher income
to balance the high living costs. The
towering office buildings and part of
the acres of apartment buildings, in
GLIDING some Of the luxurious apart
ments, are in fact monuments to what
an idea can do.
This is the explanation given: Dur
ing the years when the wildcatters
harvested three or four hundred mil
lion dollars annually the major factor
in the harvest was the cost of living
which created a need for higher rates
Of income from savings and for a
small-amount form of investment such
as the wildcatters offered in profusion.
The fabulous rates and the size of
the shares Haunted by the wildcat
promoters combined to take savings
away from the public as easily as a
bully takes candy from his kid"
brother
AS for bonds, they were inflexibly
1900 and offered in blocks of $4,000,
which was a sum too great for the
man or woman who had saved hun.
dred or two. The small investor saw
little to help his income above the
per cent at the savings bank and he
needed more.
! Then came the idea, the result OF
years of study of conditions and OF
a solution. The altruism of a Chi
cago banker. S. W. Straus, had taken
practical turn. He had make a study
of finance abroad as we'll as in the
| United States and he proposed that
bonds of small denominations bearing
/ per cent be issued, bonds secured by
| first mortgage on improved city rea'
estate and maturing serially. Instead
Of making the improvement of city
property the business of rich men, he
/ worked out a way by which the bis
sums for mortgages by which sky
scrapers and apartment houses are Fl
nanced could be split up fine enough
for small investors to take a part
That is how the Strauss" system o
financing, which has spread far be
yond Chicago, was originated. TIL,
first mortgage, real estate bond
which was a fraction of a big mort
gage of stable value, was the result.
BY means of such bonds as thes'
today a large part of the urban build
ing operations in Chicago are carried
on. Here was a simple thing. tnougl
a departure from custom, one tina
serves 10 add improvements to a cit.
at rate far greater than before. l
was obvious that dividing up a mort
gage into a series of bonds did no
diminish the value Of the security, o
the mortgage or of the individual bon,
even il il was only for 800. BY divid
ing the loan into bonds which matur
serially the safety was enhanced an
that discovery has caused the old pla
of sinking funds" to be abandone
in a large measure in the middle ives
where interest rates rule high and 8,
curity must be double-riveted. For q
