NO CORPORATION
CAN BUILD HOMES
Hope of Moline for Relief from
Housing Problem Hit by
Decision.
TO URGE REPEAL OF LAW
Ruling of United States suorer.
Court Does Not, However, Affect
Browning Field.

Moline is affected by the ruling n,
the United States supreme court IN
refusing to take jurisdiction in casa
involving the right of corporations To
hold and deal in real estate in Illinois
thereby definitely settling the point
against the corporations. This citv'.
need. of houses makes it an interested
party.
For a number Of years, while tbi.
community has been undergoing rap:d
industrial development, there has been
a great scarcity of living quarters for
workers needed by the factories. In.
dividual enterprise seemed unable IN
cope with the situation, and It was felt
that the best plan would be to organ
ize a large corporation to go into ths
home building business on a large
scale. The Greater Moline committee
investigated the matter, but decided
that under the law such an undertak.
ing would be out of the question. II
therefore is bending its efforts, In co.
operation with other organizations, to
secure the repeal of the law.
Some have argued that this law
would prevent the city from develop.
ing Browning field as an athletic park
to which admission could be charged,
but it has been shown that the city Is
not regarded as a corporation IN the
sense meant under this act Besides,
the municipality does not own the
land
Hit at Pullman Company.
Discussing the ruling of the supreme
court Harry A. Jansen, president Of the
tary of the Tri-City Manufacturers as
sociation, said:
"The manufacturers did not. antici-
pate a favorable ruling for they have
long realized that the law stood direct
ly in the path of the corporations in
the matter of owning real estate. The
law was passed after the Pullman
strike in 1898 and was a political
measure aimed at the Pullman COM
pany. 1t has been great detriment
to the state Moline has suffered be-
cause of it and communities through
out the whole state have suffered in a
similar manner. There remains only
one thing to do-to have the state
legislature repeal the law and pass
new one that will grant the desired
right to corporations.
..'The matter was discussed by the
Greater Moline committee some time
ago and I believe plans were made to
cooperate with organizations In vari'
Gus parts of the state to bring about
the repeal of the law. Just how far
the movement has gone, do not know
at present"

great deal OF inconvenience also re-
suited.
The Lockhart Heating * Plumbing

at the corner of Second avenue and
Sixteenth street it was found neces-
sary to cut off the main. and this was
done without notifying the users of
water on the street, and without even
consulting the head of the water de-
partment.
At the Electric laundry. 1914 Fourth
avenue. there is a big boiler used for
heating and power. Some time after
the water had been shut off someone
happened TO notice that there was
only half an inch of water in the
boiler. a big fire had just been put
in and there was imminent danger of
an explosion.

Tired.

Dear God, 1 am so weary with it all,
I fain would rest me for a little space.
Is there no great rock where the
shadows fall
Where I may cast me down and hide
my face?
I work and strive, sore burdened and
afraid,
The road is flinty and the way is long;
And the weak staff whereby my hands
are stayed
Bends like reed when bitter winds
are strong.
The lofty thought proves fruitless in
the deed.
The prize toll for seems glittering
lie.
There is no comfort for the present
need
No guerdon promised for futurity.
I shrink In terror from the endless
task.
I look with horror on the barren land,
And ask, as only hopeless hearts can
ask
The meaning OF my days to under
stand.
