Y. ID. STATE BUILT HOUSES
OVERRUN COST ESTIMATES
Buyers Plan Court Action Is Time to
Sign Contracts Draws Near-Av-
erage Increase Held 2O%.

| Bismarck, Aug. 5.-Houses built
by the Home Building association of
North Dakota, will cost far more than
the original estimates.
Many people who have had homes
built under the plan are just getting
accurate information on the probable
cost of their houses and are aghast
at the figures.
Several have consulted attorneys
and legal battle is certain to re-
suit, when the persons who built
houses are asked to sign contracts in
the near future.
Estimates of the increased cost
home builders must pay vary, accord
ing to information obtained by build
ers. J. B. Adams, manager of the
Home Builders association, was re-
luctant to give figures because he
said he was engaged in rechecking
accounts. Mr.. Adams finally esti-
mated the cost would be about 20 per
The condition is no surprise to
those familiar with the work of the
Home Builders association and the
Bishop, Brissman company report
made to the house of representatives
last winter. The home builders start.
ed without a system Of accounts and
with many political workers in jobs
instead of trained men. The present
manager, J. B. Adams, an accountant,
was installed in office to salvage the
wreckage.
Only one contract has been signed
of the 50 houses built by the Home
Builders association. This was on
the first house built for Mr.. Adams,
the contract being signed before he
was employed by the association.
! Interviews with persons living
I, here who have home builders houses,
! revealed that none had written con-
tracts, but had been given estimates
when the houses were to be built,
which they declare are verbal con-
tracts. a 4 = -G
Although complete figures will not
be available until rechecking is COM
pleted and the industrial commission
announces the situation on the houses,
some of the builders have learned of
their costs. Here are some exam
pies:
Estimated cost, $4,000. Final
cost, 1920. Extras added to
$4,000 and included in 5000,
$500.
Estimated cost, $5,4O1. Final
cost, $7,OO1. Extras charged and
included in final cost, $685..
Estimated cost, $4,000. Final
cost, $5,122.85. No extras.
Estimated cost $1,000. Final
cost, $7,189. No extras.
Estimated cost, $500. Final
cost, $4,000. Amount of ex-
tras unknown.
The method used by the Home
Builders when the program began has
caused a great deal of the present
trouble. A man wanted to build q
house. He went to the Home Build.

ough routine of alleged brain or hand
labor for few hours a day and draw as
much pay for it at the end of the week as
they can make the higher-up "guys" hand
over.
This vice has never bitten very deeply
into the people of the country districts
but it is epidemic and rampant in all our
cities.
The farmer has suffered deflation to
the hilt. The mass of the city people has
resisted it successfully so far, at the same
time mending their ways not bit. We
wish hard times for nobody but it looks
very much as if nothing less than real
poverty will cure the city masses of the
depravity represented by that French
teacher.
Let's thoroughly understand that in
difference is mediocrity and mediocrity
is bankruptcy. God will that the nation
escape that!

THE DEPRAvITY OF LAZY IN
DIFFERENCE

We know of a public school ma'am
who teaches French and who has lust
given one of her classes an examination
test has herself examined their papers
forty of EN-. and marked each Individual
paper, all in the space of a 40-minute
hour. In other words, a test that was
just about worthless because 40 pupils
only had 20 of the 40 minutes in which to
show what they actuallf learned in the
preceding month. There was no need OF
this senseless speed because the teacher
is expected to go over the examination
papers at the conclusion of the five-hour
recitation period.
The explanation, of course, is that the
young woman was merely lazy. didn't
want to work after the regular school per
iodand carelessly Indifferent to her
high duty.
1t is simply amazing how this twin
headed microbe. of inefficiency and lazin-
ess has spread over America in this last
decade. 1t has invaded all clases~not
everybody, but great masses of people.
Millions haven't the slightest pride in the
thing they are doing in life. All they care
is to drag grudgingly and stupidity thr-

THE MULE BAROMETER

Some folks Judge the times by the mar
ket for diamonds. In Alaska parts
of it anyway the business watch, the
price Of gold dust. On Wall street they
economic conditions in America go up
and down with steel
But say what they please about barO-
metric pressure of diamonds, shining
gold and herculean steel, they have to
go some to find anything better in baro-
meters than the mule, the gentle mule
the mule with forty-hoss power heels, the
mule of our fathers!
The mule as a barometer of business
absurd? Listen to what comes from Mis-
souri, which is the home by the way OF
the poet, DR.. j. j. Gains, otherwise "Un-
Gle john"
just now the mule trade is good in cot
ton sections, therefore business condl-
tons are improving in the south. Mules
for mines aren't selling well, so the coal
mining business is slow. Sugar mules are
depressed; it follows that there are hard
times in, the sugar industry. The demand
for draft mules is good; accordingly road
construction work is booming. Farm
mules are quiet, so the farming business
is quiet: it follows. too, that farm I'M
plement manufacturing is slow. Rice
mules are in the dumps, so rice farming
must be up against it.
But glory be, and best of all, the army
mule trade is quite poor because the war
industry is at very low ebb!

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1921

What good is there in any plan that
breaks down under the very conditions it
was called up to face? In every single
phase of life in this living world plans
are adopted only for the purpose of MAX
ing the conditions of the matter at hand
better. When they don't they are swiftly
hitting the utter failure of Communism
in Russia, blames the failure on the con-
ditions it had to face. Out of his own
mouth, therefore, he admitted that the
plan called communism is no good there
fore, an useless, dead one. Shovel in the
dirt, men!
