FOR HOME OWNERSHIP.
Senator Sheppard Proposes Joint
Resolution for Government Aid.

Senator Sheppard of Texas told the
Senate yesterday the United States was
menaced by a rapidly increasing aris-
tocracy of landowners and introduced a
Joint resolution proposing constitu-
tiona1 amendment, which. he said.
would promote ownership of homes and
dissipate the danger of the United
States becoming a nation of tenants.
The resolution would authorize Con-
gress to purchase land anywhere in the
country, hold, improve. subdivide and
sell it and make loans for the purpose
of encouraging farm-home ownership.
The amendment, he said. was similar
to one adopted in the state Of Massa-
chusetts and approved more than three
to one by a popular vote.
