PROTECTION GIVEN
IN 0WN-H0ME MOVE

Local committee engaged in the own
your own home campaign which the
United States Department Of Labor
has been conducting since the first of
the year have as one of their chief
functions the safeguarding of the in
terests of builders and investors
against prof1teering in land values or
building materials. =
Wherever a town or city has under
taken to stimulate building as part Of
the nations reconstruction program,
the interests Of the committees have
been co-ordinated in such a way that
spectators in real estate or contrac-
tors willing to exploit the builder
have had little chance. Real esate ex-
changes. chambers of commerce,
mortgage investment companies and
building associations have worked to-
gether for the common good. With
the first idea that shortage of housing
gives an opportunity to start con-
struction work which provides en-
ployment for returning soldiers, the
own your own home movement was
started in few enterprising cities.

TOPUSH BUILDING
ON A LARGE SCALE
Purpose Declared by Real
Estate Boards at Atlantic
> City Convention.

'Building must proceed on large
convention of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards at Atlantic
City. according to Charles W. Fairfax.
president of the Washington Real
Estate Brokers' Association.
He said it was the consensus of
opinion at the convention that high
cost of labor and material will con-
tinue for many years. as the purchas-
ing bower of the American dollar has
been reduced to about sixty cents.
Rentals and Sales.
In this connection Mr.. Fairfax said ::
This same rule must apply In regard
10 rental and sale prices of real
estate. Rentals in over 80 per cent
OF the large cities and towns have al
ready been advanced on an average
Of 90 per cent, with the prospect of
a further increase. Tenants have rec
ognized the fairness OF such prop
osition. in order to encourage add.
tional building.
washington is alone in that respect
by reason of the pending salisbury
law that has operated to defeat the
very thing that is most needed-addi-
tional rental space. Much has been
said and written about the prevailing
high prices in Washington. but expe-
riences and reports from other large
cities indicate that the same condi-
tons exist elsewhere.
Cites Real Cause of Depression.
'If we but recognize that tho real
couse is the depreciation of money.
and if government officials and legis-
lators discontinue fooling the people.
class hatred will be suspended and
democracy will be safe for America.
THE present high wage scale exists
because living costs have advanced. and
why should the landlord he denied
when all other necessities have in
creased. Rent today is the cheapest
of all other commodities and this dec
1aration will stand the acid test"

No disposition to criticise the schools is en-
tertained when suggest that one of the great
needs of our educational program is greater en-
phasis on civcs and the obligation of citizenship.
Unless our children learn the principles of our
governmental system when they are young and
are taught how to participate in the functions
of democracy, their education has been sadly
neglected.
Our boys and girls will not value the right of
suffrage highly unless they understand what is
implied in the privilege. Clean government will
not come until the voters learn why corrupt gov
eminent debases the nation and the people who
are identified with it. The principles of demo-
cracy will never develop to their full fruition un-
tt they are fully understood and given room for
development by citizenship of honest and con-
scientious voters. To attain this end the schools
can contribute nightly.
