asks that radical changes be made by
legislative enactment
A uniform road law throughout the
country is advocated by Mr.. Simms
who also suggests that a reciprocal
agreement be reached with other states
in the matter of licenses. While Ari-
IONA recognizes the license of other
states for a period Of six months. in
many other places a car can carry an
Arizona license for a much shorter
period, two months being the limit in
a neighboring state.
The secretary of state would have
stricter laws relative to drivers of pub
lie conveyances. He would make the
test for licensing a chauffeur more Sc

lights the law should be made more
up to date, is another one of the many
points brought out by Mr.. Simms in

report is that section devoted TO is

'SED|CTS BUILDING
BOOM IN MEMPHIS
NEXT SIX MONTHS
R. M. Hammond Asserts Man
ufacturers Are to Construct
Homes for Employees Be-
cause of Shortage.

"The next six months win witness a
tremendous amount Of home building
by large manufacturing companies the

the focal real estate firm of Hammond
Sons, Saturday.
With the home problem in Memphis

THE manufactured Is ina only man
able to9do the building in these times,
with the high retail price Of materials
of all kinis, but the manufacturer Is
able to yet all the material be can
use at Wholesale prices, Tho lumber
man can get the lumber, and the cement
man the cement, and interchange their
products so that both would get the
benefit Of the Wholesalers purchase
price. and both could build the houses
for their employees. II is merely mat
ter of investment. When the workman
is given the chance TO acquire a home
OF his own at a very low price. which
will be paid for by very low montaly
payments. he becomes a permanent
fixture OF the company He becomes
thrifty. and is able 10 save. as the
monthly payments would not be nearly
as high as the rent he would have
to pay for the same sized house"
Mr.. Hammond went on to say that
the owning OF home by the workman
would do more toward stamping out
bolshevism than any other thing The
Bolshevist, he said, Is the man who
is poorly fed, and is hard put to IL
to pay his rent bill each month And
the owning of a home at from Is to
80 per cent less than the market price
would convince him that this country
is after all run on the most sensible
plans possible, as we'll as furnishing
the concern which made the home pos
sible with loyal. honest workman,
and permanent one.
There Is much evidence In other
sections Of the country that the work
man will be soon given the chance 10
own his own home" he said TN fact
some of the largest firms In the coun-
try have already started the erection OF
such homes. One OF the largest real
estate firms in the country has estnb-
lished a system or loaning from $500,
900 upward for the benefit OF large
corporations who desire to build such
homes, the money loaned for this spe-
cific purpose. This Is the spirit In
which to tackle the problem. And
| for these reasons, l say that Memphis
| will not be slow In inaugurating sucr
stabilizing system, and that the mex
| few months will witness the erection o.
many. such profit sharing homes foi
