TENANTS oUTNuMBER OWNERS.

The United States has fought all her to
preserve the home" and yet probably go per cent
OF her people tenants. This the text Sc
lected the other day by United States Senator
William NJ. Calder of New York in address be-
fore the New York Real Estate associations
vention urging the necessity of national cam
paign for the creation of homes. He said
"The object of each of has been in the
last analysis, to preserve the home. Yet we find
that to the majority of people in this country
home means little more than dwelling for
which they are paying rent. What is worse in the
situation is that the percentage of these rent pay
ers is growing.
"In 1890 we were advised that SO per cent of the
people in America lived under the rental system,
in 1910 that the percentage had increased to 30.
and probably the of 1920 will show that
fully 60 per cent of the people will be classed as
tenants"
Taxation the Home.
The necessity for giving proper attention to real
estate taxation brought to notice in a paper
by Harrison B. Riley, president of the Chicago
Title and Trust company, which read at the
recent convention of the Real Estate Association
of the State of Illinois in Champaign. In his paper
Mr.. Riley said:
''It is undenable that real estate and, therefore,
the home keeper, pays increasingly unfair
amount for the support of the government and
the convenience of the people. A lazy indifference
and stupid lack of intelligence in the levy and
collection of taxes must be corrected that real
estate bears only an equal proportion of the ex-
penses of government and of civilization with
other classes of property.
Heretofore real estate has furnished over 50
per cent of the revenue needed by the state, the
several counties and the unnumbered municipal
and quasimunicipal corporations.
personal property, which equals or very likely
exceeds the value of real estate, has escaped pay
ing any fair proportion Of governmental expenses.
II suggest that the new state constitution shall
have only two restrictions on the power of the
general assembly to levy and collect taxes--viz
That all taxes shall be equal and uniform.
1.-The provisions for taxation and special assess
ment in the new constitution should be so flexible
that property and earning capacity can be reached
and an income tax used substitute for spe-
cific taxes upon classes of property difficult. to
reach or the value Of which 1t is impossible to de-
termfne except by assessive body much too

and in consequence has lived in houses
owned by others. But he musf remember that he
has paid for those houses just the same and
something besides House owners not philan-
thropists. They do not rent houses to tenants
from any altruistic motive. They are in the game
to make money. And the renter pays the profit

for the wage earners and salaried men to have
homes of their own. They provide an easy method
for everyone to for home. Bankers will
provide the machinery by naugurating clubs. And
within the next few years thousands upon thou
sands of persons will have realized the greatest
of all ambtions-owning the homes in which they
