[ HOME BUILDING

kane advertised: Wanted n mar to

Every community feels the need
Of organized action to overcome
shortage of dwelling houses. AS
population increases on the farms

The result Of that advertisement
was that Wilbur II. Conan Of Spo-
kane comes to the front with a solu-
tlon Of the problem.
Many people who want to build or
buy homes have not over % per
cent Of the necessary funds. TO
secure cooperation Of building and
loan societies or savings institutions
fifty per cent capital must be avail
able.
Mr.. Conan urges formation in
each community Of IA financial cor
poration to make up this difference.
This plan will help the individual
whose capital is too small to acquire

"The German and French langu-

Already the taxburden in this

CREDIT

1t is consensus Of opinion tina
with REIMBURSEMENT Of federal con
troll of railroads. nothing is NOR,
essential than sterilization Of rail
road credit.
In adjustment Of current accounts
and Indebtedness due the Govern
ment for expenditures for better
ments and improvements. it Is essen
tial that credit be arranged whereby
the roads concerned may effect liqui
dati0n without financial hardship.
This may well be effected by Offset
ting current accounts, and, on pro-
per security. extending credit for
the uncovered balance. Expenditur-
es for betterments and improvements
or for equipment when requested by
the road concerned should on proper
security be funded at a reasonable
rate Of interest for an Appropriate
period, say 10 or Is years.
This will properly take are Of
immediate credit so far as the Gov
eminent is concerned, but how about
the broader aspects Of railroad credit
for the future and in general?
Something more must be done to
put railroad credit and finances on a
sound basis.
The past is usually a good guide,
and to this end we may profit by
investigation and avoidance of the
causes which before the war impair
ed railroad credit, practically stopped
construction and improvement, and
brought the whole transportation
system face to face with disaster.
Undoubtedly one Of the chief
causes for this is our incongruous
plan Of regulation. NOtwithstand-
ing approximately ive-slxths of all
traffic transportated by rail is in
terstate and under the exclusive jul
risdiction of the Interstate CONNER
&c Commission we have As state
commissions all exercising regula-
tory authority, all naturally selfish
on local questions, all with conflict
ing views and interests. For ex-
ample, not infrequently instances
have arisen where to obey a law or
order of one state meant to violate
a law or order of another.
This archaic method of regulation
should he abandoned and full and
complete jurisdiction lodged in the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
with its enlarged powers no more
reason obtains for state regulation
Of Its transportation system than for

Another cause Is lack Of indemnity
