NAVY YARD HOUSING
SCHEME TO Be SOLD
Private interests Invited TO Take
Over 100000 Co.
Operative Project.

Under private auspices, the $1,000 ;
600 Navy Yard housing project viii
/ be offered for sale in the near future.
The United states Housing Corpor-
alton is disposing OF it's equity to
local real estate Interests. and the en-
| tire tract, comprising several hundred
/ lots. two stucco dormitorics, and a
! power-house viii be placed on the
market.
! \ building BOOM In southeast
] Washington is predicted by experts
In touch with the situation. II is
/ held back now by the high cost Of
building materials and labor. but
/ plans are being proposed which will
cope with both OF these difficulties.
MANY NEW wORkERs.
Ii Is anticipated that there will be
large increase in Navy Yard en-
pIoycs during the coming year be-
cause OF the development of gun
factory activities here. Within the
next six months there viii be an
acute housing shortage In Washing
/ ton because OF tho influx OF new
Government workers.
II Is probable that an appeal will
| be made to the Interstate Commerce
COmmis sfon to waive priority orders
for open-top and gondola cars. per-
mitting their exclusive use for the
shipment OF fuel, SO that such build
/ ing materials as cement, gravel lum-
/ ber etc. can be brought TO WASH
ington TO cope with the emergency.
! 1t Is possible that such action will
be necessary before the housing de-
velopment in the Navy Yard tract
will begin in grim earnest. In CO
operation with the Housing Corpor-
alton it seems certain that some
/ plan will be drawn to stimulate
building on the project.
/ PROJECT TOO BIG FOR THEN.
The Navy Yard employees found
| themselves unable TO finance the
original community plan, and credit
restrictions for private operations
also present certain difficulties which
| IL may require Government co-opera-
| tion to overcome.
But confidence Is expressed that the
housing project will be at least par
/ TALLY developed during the fall and
/ winter months, and that the following
/ spring will see the whole plan being
! realized.

Herbert Hoover made very efi-
cient food administrator but he is a
mighty poor candidate for the presi-
dency in cur opinion. He seems to be
a sort of straddle the fence candidate
not sure which side he wants to be
on and is evidently waiting for the
party that he figures will be the
Strongest. If he is as vacillatlng IN
administering public business as ne Is
about running for president ne is
poor man for the job. 1t would be a
question of getting his ear to the
ground to find cut which side was the
strongest on public matters. He is
being urged for the presidency by both
republicans and democrats but he does
not say whether he is democrat or
republican. If he wants to be presl-
dent let him come out clean cut for
some definite program instead OF play
ing the part Of the political dema-
gogue.

doubled under the present state ad-
ministration. We erred in one respect
and we will have to acknowledge the
error. 1t was the farmer who got
stung instead of the rest Of us. They
were told their taxes would be lower
ed and were given to believe that If
they voted the nonpartisan ticket they
would get great benefits from it. They
voted it. Now they are benefited by
paying II per cent Of the taxes. And
unless some very radical legislation IS
made to offset the radical tax legls-
lation of the last legislature, we are
going to predict that your taxes will
be much higher next year. The only
way we can get away from this is to
support candidates for the Legislature
this year who stand for economy in
state affairs and who are in favor Of
cutting out hundreds of useless ex-
travagant office holders for which you
pay the taxes to furnish big salaries
for work that is net performed and for
Offices that are not necessary. Think
this over when you come to vote for
members Of the legislature. Also
remember that what we told you last
spring in regard to the tax matter was
the truth and those of you who said
we were not telling the truth will have
to take it back if you are honest.

and educational institutions of agri-
culture and to represent the farmers
of the whole nation" About 500
delegates from farm bureaus and as
sociations in thirty-two states attend

spoken in putting the federation on
an independent basis, free of any al
lance with labor, capital or any other
organized body Radicalism must be
stamped out
Harvey Scone, president of the II
linois Agricultural association, de-
clared that "full support be given the
in reconstruction prob
lens, and the farmers must be pre-
pared to sell their labor as other
bodies Of men in industry and labor
sell their service"
At the closing session resolutions
were adopted opposing government
control of public utilities, opposing
free distribution Of seeds by the gov
eminent and urging immediate re-
urn of the railroads to their owners.
Another resolution favored federal

yrocers, commission dealers and all
'ther food purveyors.

TIMEs haven't changed much after


TIMES haven't changed much after
all. Here is an extract from a
speech made in the United States SEN
ate by Daniel Webster in 1S43. "There
are persons who constantly clamor.
They complain of oppression, specula-
tion and the pernicious influence of &C
cumulated wealth. They cry out loud
agains. all banks and corporations.
and all means by which small capital
becomes united in order to produce
important and beneficial results. They
carry out mad hostility against all
established institutions. They would
choke the fountain Of industry and
dry all streams. In country Of per-
feet equality they move heaven and
earth against privilege hnd mono
poly. In country where property is
more evenly divided than anywhere
else they rend the air, shouting agrar-
ian doctrines. In country where
wages of labor are high beyond all
parallel they would teach the laborer
that he is but an oppressed slave"

Chloe prices started upward on nc
count Of the war; then they rose
again on account of the nigh price Of
leather; now they will rise once more
because Of underproduction due to the
idieness Of laborers. When the labor
ers go back to work, they'll have to be
paid, Of course, and that will send
the price up some more. And that's
