In urging home ownership the Gov

great mistake to expect a Iaborer to

Tt is my opinion that the Federal

Meanwhile the pressure for all
types Of new construction work is in
creasing. While actual building fg-
ures for the year 1919 were the
largest in the history Of the indus
try, it is doubtful if the housing
shortage made any real Improvement
during the twelve-month period. The
increased demand for buildings, due
to growth in population and busi-
ness expansion. and the greatly in
creased prices of all building materi-
ais. no doubt combined to absorb the
gain that was indicated by the finan-
cial statistics.
Reports from all parts of the coun-
try show a very large amount of new
projects in contemplation, and the in
quiry for capital for building enter
prises is growing steadily. The short
age of working hours in the building
trades, scarcity of unskilled labor
and the low supply of materials will
prevent operations going forward
with the rapidity that the fundamen-
tai conditions in the industry would
warrant otherwise.
There is a con tnued tendency to-
ward types of construction for resi-
Dental purposes in the leading Amer
ican cities. The shortage of servant
! labor and the high cost of all house
hold commodities have had much to
do with this new tendency in the
building situation. Apartment houses
and family hotels offer comforts and
conveniences that are hard to obtain
in privately owned residences.
Residences Less.
Tho cost of a place of residence
per capita is much less in buildings
that house a number of families than
in those that furnish living accom-
modations for only one family. What
amounts to cooperative buying OF fuel,
light. water, gas and other similar
commodities also exists in family no
tells and apartment houses. As re-
suit of all these various conditions
the demand for buildings of this char
acter is increasing steadily and in all
the principal American cities during
the season of 1920 we shall see many
new improvements Of this descrip-
tion.
An additional reason why we shall
see more and more construction work
Of this type is that these larger en-
terprises can be financed by the pub
lie. Large projects in the past nave,
to considerable extent. been fin
anCed by Insurance companies. trust
companies and other larg" lending in
terests, and the public has not par
tiCipated directly in these trans
actions.
However. the general investing pub
lie which has helped to build our rail-
roads, our public utilities, and our
industrial plants. is now becoming
moro and more a factor in the hnanc-
ing of large building operations. This
is due to the development of the first
mortgage serial real estate bond as
a convenient medium by which the
small investor as well as the large
one, can rally in the support of the
building industry and participate in
the benefits thereof.

Fundamental conditions indicate that the New Year

Standard Oil Feared.

Senator Kenyon. republican. Iowa,
said there was an Impression over
the country that if the bill was
passed the Standard Oil Company

Senator Smoot, republican, Utah, in

such was not the case, adding that
If the Senate wanted ito play into
the hands Of the Standard Oil Com
pany it had only to continue the
present public domain policy.

domain as big hunting preserve and
that the President seemed to have
fallen under 1.-The same baleful in
f1uence." which believes that the way
to conserve the natural resources of
the country is to keep them away

Leasing System Opposed.
If anybody is interested in keeping
oil off the market, it is the Standard
Oil Company. he continued, adding
that while he and other western
senators were opposed to a leasing
system, the time had come when the
country must either play into the
hands Of the Standard Oil Company
or have a leasing system"
The Standard Oil Company, he de-
clared urged the passage of the leas-
ing bill for oil lands in 1911. knowing
that by urging leasing bill it could
bring IAN impasse' in the Senate so
it could charge whatever it desired
