BUILDING LOANS.

Now that the federal income tax
payments are made, financers will
do we'll to heed the suggestion re-
Gently given by Secretary McAdoo,
and adopt more liberal policy
with regard to building loans.
Building cannot stop because the
country is At war. In fact, war con-
ditions seem to necessitate more
building that ever. Certain types of
construction may be dispensed with
such As club houses and monument
al public buildings. Factories have
10 be erected as matter of course,
to take care OF the war work. Too
little consideration. however. has
been given TO housing needs.
The houses that are being built
BY the government for war-industry
workers are but a drop in the buck
Ct. All over the country more
houses are needed than ever before.
There are fewer people to house.
since 50 many men have gone into
military service. but they are dif-
ierenily distributed. Populations
are being shifted to meet the de
mandS OF manufacture and farming
In most cities large numbers OF
new dwellings are required.
Building requires more money
than ever before. at present prices
Of material and labor. Houses can
not be built without bank loans.
Banks and loan companies that ad-
vance funds for this purpose nov
are performing patriotic duty.

LET THE PEOPLE KNOW"


No anonymous Communication
LET THE PEOPLE KNOW"
Editor Ardmoreite:
| congratulate you on your eai'
torial in Fridays paper on Let ths
People Know" That sort OF healthy
newspaper zip will be approved by
the reading and thinking public. IL
hits the keynote of good city gov
ernment. There must be co-opera-
ton between officials and the citi-
zens. City business is not the pri-
vate officials business, but it belongs
to the public. The official is the
possessor of trust only and, II he
wants the best results, he ought to
welcome the advice, suggestions and
help of the citizenship in important
matters. Official and private CO.
operation is desired. The people
ought to let officials know what is
wanted. Then officials ought to
take the public into their confidence
in all important ofhcial matters. INC
good official ought to feel like ne is
public servant, with his ear to the
ground ready to hear his masters
voice, in a spirit of obedience and
service. The feeling expressed in
"the public be damned, this is my
office. and III do my duty regard
less" is vicious and little.
Your editorial will delight many
of our people. We like the spirit OF
it. We need more OF it from time
to time.
OF course we read other good
things in our paper, but this particu-
lar editorial on this particular sub
ject just hits our fancy sidewise,
and we just wanted to tell you SO
hurriedly. Yours truly,
