Borough President CURRAN urges
public spirited citizens to go to the
aid Of home builders by lending them
money on first and second mortgages
But money does not and cannot
safely flow toward, it runs away
from, loans on property half of the
declared value of which may be sub
stance and half shadow.
On the same day as Mr.. CURRAN' s
appeal to investors to go into shaky
second mortgages comes out a Mer.
chants Association report is pub
lished showing what is the matter
with building houses and what is the
matter with lending enough money
on them to do the builders any good.
The Merchants Association report
states that while general commod-
ity costs are now 81 per cent higher
than the average of 1913 the cost of
building materials in New York city
is still 102 per cent. higher than in
1913, and wages in the industry are
81 per cent. higher.
And wage scales Of themselves do
not, Of course, tell the whole story of
increased cost. The bricklayer whose
daily wage scale has doubled, for
example, but who lays only half as
many bricks for the doubled wage as
he once laid for half as much pay,
has lacked up the brick laying cost
to level four times as high as it
was before.
AS it is now, when a lender may
have to figure On so per cent. of
value and so per cent. of imitation in
a house he can wisely lend up to
only fraction of the actual value.
The house may take $4,000 to build
at the cost the Merchants Association
declares lis astonishingly higher
than it ought to be-" but if there is
any chance of it's becoming worth
only $4,000 as marketable PROPOSE
tion before the mortgage runs out
it is not a good loan investment for
more than $4,000 or $4,000. The av-
erage home builder needing to put
$4,000 into the erection of his new
house could not make start with
the $500 or $4,000 which would be

let him have on such thin and doubt.

ing a house will get down where it

men to lend money on new houses
as public spirited act, regardless
Of consequences. Investors will

ways have liked to have their money

HOLDS SUR-TAX
Is CONSTITUTIONAL
Attorney General Morgan Holds That
Tax Provided in Teachers PEN
sion Fund May be Levied

Madison, Wis.-Constitutio of
the proposed sur-tax on incomes as the
method for raising the 100000 need
ed annually to finance the proposed
teachers retirement and pension fund
law, is upheld in an opinion Of Attorney
General William Morgan given today.
The attorney general over-ruled the
contention put forward that a sur-tax
would establish double taxation and
violate the uniformity rule, through
the fact that Milwaukee already main
tanned it's own retirement fund and
would benefit in no way from the
state law.
"The uniformity rule of the consti-
tuition with reference to property taxes
does not apply to income taxes" the
attorney general holds. "In addition
the uniformity rule applies only to the
levy and assessme nt of taxes and not to
their distribution after collection.
"The fact that the city of Milwaukee
is already supporting a teachers PEN
sion system is not at all conclusive
upon the constitutional question. and
is a matter solesly for legislators to
consider in determining what is just
distribution of the burden"

Paris.-Eyen in France, the people

excomrades who Jared less happily

cident Of this affection of a sound
comrade for his crippled brother-in-
arms occurred at little open-air cafe
opposite the Care du Nord. A beggar,
with one leg gone below the knee, and
an empty sleeve tucked into his pocket,
was making the rounds of the tables.
His face wore that dazed, numb ex-
preston of one who has suffered so
much that he has become insensible
to any vicissitude of fortune. Three
service ribbons were in his lapel but
tonhole. One of the guests, an ex-
service man, noticed the ribbons ana
invited him to shave book"
There was a whispered consultation
inside and the waiter tugged the mans
coatsleeve and informed him that the
house didn't serve beggars." The
guest pointed to the cripple's service
badges and retorted Indignantly, "Per-
haps, then, the house serves its bene-
factors. This man lost his leg and
arm for the proprietor's patrie. The
proprietor may have a sense of graft

Other guests, ex-service men, be-
came interested and soon there was a
crowd around the irate customer and
the shoulder-shrugging patron" The
beggar meanwhile sat in supplied
dazedness, listlessly lingering his
crutches. He was so used to this kind
of thing that it no longer surprised,
hardly even seemed to hurt. Finally
another guest at far table shouted:
Waiter, you can serve me, anyway.
Bring me book"
With flourish he seized the glass
from the walters hand, strobe across
and deposited it in front of the beg
gar. The crowd cheered. The prop
rietor scowled. The second guest, also

gar, bowed to the proprietor and with

Court Decision
Ends Big Strike
Unusual Court Decision in Detroit
Ends Huge Cigarmakers Strike
and Workers Return.
(By Associated Press)


'Detroit.-An unusual court decision,
given by Judge George 0. Driscoll of
the Wayne county circuit court, has
ended strike of about 500 men and
women employed by a large cigar
manufacturing company here. The
decision is unusual in that the COM
pany that brought court action to re-
strain picketing, was ordered by Judge
Driscoll 20 fulfill a verbal contract
said to have been made with the Cigar
Makers international Union, to rehire
the persons on strike, and held that
the concern was liable for damages
amounting to the wages that would
have been earned by the employees
during the period of the strike.
According to testimony introduced
in court the company last November
asked its employees to accept wage
reduction, STIMULATING there would be
no further cut for one year. According
to the testimony, another reduction
was announced in February and q
strike followed. When the company
sought an injunction to restrain pick
citing, the court ruled that he must
carry the case to its logical conclu-
sion and decided the company had VIC
lated a contract and the workers had
been locked out. A settlement of the
issues followed and the cigarmakers
returned to work at the wage scale
put into effect last November.

al negotiations are undertaken.
The approaches already made are
understood to have been conveyed
through American representative sit
ting informally in the Allied councils
and it is believed that the converse
tons have been more or less of an in
cidental character.
The administration has indicated
its belief that the subject could well
be considered by the supreme council
but officials have pointed out that it
could not be broasled formally to the
council by the United tSates since this
government is represented there only
in an unofficial capacity. Information
has reached Washington, however,
which leads to the belief that some
other government, prompted by the in
formal suggestions of the United
States may make the disarmament
question an actual issue before the
council in the near future.
