CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-"Building loan
sharks" the income tax law, and ''prof-
teers' greed" are a combination which

Legitimate money lenders are refusing
to make loans on mortgages, c. c. Baird.
president Of the Chicago Association OF
Commerce, and Charles Bostron. building
commissioner here, testified. Baird de-
ciared builders have to pay as high as

This usurpation is practiced, accord

extracted when the loan is made and

action"
After questioning Bostrom regarding
building costs. Senator Kenyon, mem
Der of the committee. denounced profit

The home shortage Is not caused by
high wages paid labor. as It has generally
been attributed" said Kenyon.
"Greed is the cause Of 1t all-prohteers'
greed. Let us send a few Of them to
jail"
Baird declared the Federal tax on mort
cages should be abolished to encourage
big capitalists to invest in building mort
cages.
"Big estates and insurance companies
which In the past have invested In real
estate and mortgages have now not only
stopped doing so, but are selling the
ones they have and placing the proceeds
IN other sound securities" Baird said.

window glass is now selling for thres

Prohi Officials Appalled, by
Recent Ruling of Supreme
Court Regarding Whisky.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.-"Dry" law
chiefs today were In utter dismay over
the probable effect of the Supreme
Courts decision, holding that whisky
may be transported" from warehouse
storage to owners homes. They frankly
fear Generalization in enforcement work
may grow out Of the release Of millions
Of gallons Of liquors legally held.
Some clear statement, further inter
pretating the rights Of whisky owners,
under the highest courts ruling, is ex-
pected as a result OF the conferences
continued today between Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue Williams and Pro-
hibition Commissioner Kramer and their
legal advisers.
Revision Of some Of the prohibition
regulations now in effect is being made
to conform to the decision, and other
regulations discussed as possible subsu-
tutes to prevent heavy Withdrawals OF
liquor from storage.
Officials faced the most difficult prob
lem they have had since national pro-

GUARANTEES SOUGHT

After officials conferred today 1t was
indicated that the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau may devise a plan calling for Ger
tain guarantees from whisky owners who
may seek to remove their liquor stocks
and transport them Legal advisers Of
the enforcement bureau doubted whether
the Government could successfully resist

withdraw their stocks. Efforts to pre-
vent such Withdrawals, 1t was admitted,
would cause litigation In courts all over

APPOINTMENTS
MORAY
NEW PROBLEM
Women Who Worked for State
Organization Deserve
Recognition.
MISS BUSH FIRST NAMED

Warren 7. McCray had hardly ceased
computing the plurality that elected him
Governor OF Indiana when he committed
grave political mistake.
1t is NOT an irretrievable mistake, how
ever, for the nature of the appointments
he makes VIII in q measure determine It's
magnitude, If IL assumes any at all. The
Governor-elect's first strategical blunder
had to do with that new element that has
given politicians so much to worry about
women in politics.
The hrst act of Mr. McCray was to
appoint Miss Adah Bush for years his
private secretary, as his secretary In the
guberDatorlal office. The fact that he
selected Miss Bush for this position, OF
course, is not construed by any one as
mistake, for she has demonstrated re-
peatedly her capabilities, both in the
business and political nelds. In fact,
Miss Bush alone was practically respon-
siie for the management OF Mr.. McCray's
second and successful primary campaign.
he overlooked, however. the prime
necessity OF assuring some OF the other
orthodox republican women workers that
they, too, would be houored In due time.
Involved In the appointment is an in.
trieate problem Of feminine political de-
velopment that would do justice to the
most astute OF the male element
Miss Bush, an ardent Republican par-
usan, nevertheless took an active part
In the formation OF the Indiana Lea que
OF Women Voters, which came as a
sequel TO her successful career as a
champion OF equal suffrage.
In recognition Of her services she was
made secretary OF the Indiana Republic
an women's committee. While IN that
capacity she attended the Chicago con-
vention and later went to the Demo
