CITY BUILT HOMES

The housing shortage is acute in other
places besides Columbia and active stems
have been taken. by some cities to RENE.
dy the handicap. One plan which has
been put into operation by the Chamber
OF Commerce Of Aurora, ILL.,, is TO build
houses and sell them on the installment
plan TO citizens. Fifty houses are under
construction at present and il is thought
that they will all be contracted for by
the time they are ready for occupancy.
While SUCH a plan has several serious
drawbacks and necessitates aNheayv de.
mand upon the city treasury, it is one
way to remedy the situation. In other
places the Building and Loan Associa.
tons are exerting themselves to furnish
more houses and a combination Of the
two plans might prove a satisfactory
method Of relieving the situation in Co.
lumbia.
"A stronger association here and assist.
ance from the city might induce mapy

they are SO badly needed. Every wear

costs the business men.
Columbia has a strong Commercial
Club which is doing great things for the
community. If it could solve the bous.
ing problem it would be doing a service
which would return dollar for dollar

REVERSED ACTION

In the evolution Of our civilization
time was when no centralized govern
ment was present to settle the differ
ences Of groups or individuals. That wa
in the days when the people Of the eartl
were semi-barbaric Every home anc
every clan had their weapons of defens,
or aggression, as the case might be. ant
warfare and feuds were the rule rather
than the exception. With the progress
Of time these primary wars were for the
most part eradicated, giving place TO
national wars conirolled by the central.
ized governments The new central gov.
ernments established courts for the settle
ment of private or clan differences and
tried TO promote peace between indiyidu-
ais, families and groups.
As time rolled on and il was found
that the courts were for the most part
sufficient, measures were taken for the
disarmament Of the individual, and laws
were passed prohibiting the carrying Of
weapons. The moves that resulted in the
end Of legal private warfare came most
naturally in this order; first. establish.
ment Of courts; Second, disarmament.
The United States now plans 10 bring
to close International warfare. The end
Of war is sought. The means Of attain.
ing the end. however, are not the means.
not the order, that was taken in over
coming private warfare, but quite the
reverse. The United States turned down
a proposition favoring the establishment
'of an international court, the League
Of Nations. and now plans on backing
into the problem Of war eradication hind
foremost. The plan now is TO push dis
armament, single clause in the prob.
lem, TO the front and end wars in ius,
the opposite order that private wars were
ended. Washington speaks freely on dis
armament and maintains silence as re.
CARDS everything else.
In ending private warfare the establish
ment Of courts came first, and disarma.
ment only as a secondary incident. The
plan now is 10 make the incident para.
mount, and the true solution secondary.
There is one point that seems to be gen. |
orally conceded, disarmament will not.

ment conference must consider something
more than mere disarmament or fail in
