HOUSING PROBLEMS

Housing experts see little hope of
relief for the homeless people of New
York state in the suggestions for emer-
gency housing laws which the leaders
at Albany have given out since Cover
nor Smith summoned the legislature
in special session to deal with the
housing shortage.
State Senator Lockwood, in charge
of the program, says that the first
measure will be one exempting from
state income taxation all mortgages
on buildings erected for dwellings.
Next will be a law granting preferen-
tial treatment of building permits for
dwellings, which is intended to make
labor and material more available
There is measure which would lower
the taxes on dwelling houses and
apartments.
In the tenement and cheap residence
districts, however, there is being agi-
tated demand that the legislature
shall follow at least one step in the
path opened by North Dakota. That
is, they want a state constitutional
amendment drafted and adopted which
will permit the state to sell bonds to
raise funds to be loaned to persons
wishing to build homes.
Another scheme talked of is the es-
tablishing of a series of state build
ing and loan banks, on the plan of the
farm loans banks.

WASHINGTON, D. c. - Doctor
Ladd's report to the people OF the
Northwest that the Farm Bureau fed
GRAFTON is going to tackle the job of
Kidding the country of the useless mid
dleman, either through co-operatives
on tremendous scale or by the North
Dakota method of state ownership of
marketing facilities, has created a
near-panic in lobbying circles in the
rational capital,
Here the Farm Bureau federation
has been supposed to be wholly Or
namental and standpat body, created
iii many places by the active aid Of
chambers of commerce for the purpose
of preventing the farmers from falling
under "radicap' influence. The idea
that a body so big and prosperous and
so capable of getting what it goes af-
ter, should ever go after anything that
the profiteers have nailed down, had
never before occurred to the minds of
the dinner-dance statesmen who draw
thousands month from the food gam
blers to keep them "in touch" at Wash
ington.
They are going to look into this sit
uation, and if the Farm Bureau feder-
alton is shown to be getting actually
disloyal, like the Nonpartisan league,
they are going to turn the case over to
the Public Ledger, the Chicago Tri-
bune and Bill Taft.
A NEW CAMPAIGN MANAGER
Congressman Doremus of Detroit,
who led the forlorn hope of the house
Democrats who opposed the repeal of
the Panama canal tolls act some years
ago, is announced as manager of the
Cox campaign in the West, with head
quarters at Chicago. Doremus is
typical big-city Democratic politician,
reactionary to the last degree, and past
master of the tricks of the vote-catch-
ing trade. He has remained a defiant
wet, a persistent worker for high tar
IFS on automobiles, and valued advis-
er of every big corporate interest in
his bailiwick.
At the time of his battle with
President Wilson over the canal tolls
issue, Doremus was chairman of the
Democratic congressional campaign
committee. He gave up that job at the
end of the year and permitted the par.
ty to notice his absence. Later, the
White House made truce with him,
and now that Cox has come to the
leadership of the national organization
the Detroit sachem is called upon to
show how practical corporation law
yer can run a practical business mems
campaign.
