BUILDING AND THE GENERAL
BUSINESS OUTLOOK,

The present activity in building OPP
erations is an outstanding feature Of
| the general business situation. The
| building industry in the United States
| is second in importance only to agri-
culture and many million workmen,
| directly and indirectly, are dependent
upon 1t. In the more active building
sections of the country that are sys-
tematically reported, comprising about
| half the states, considerably more than
| two billion dollars in contracts were
| awarded last year.
High freight rates due to labor con-
didons and high wages to labor are the
controlling factors in building costs.
They maintain construction prices at
levels that interfere with the full and
well Grounded development of building
operations. They also serve to inject
an element of fixed initiation into this
the greatest construction movement in
the nations history.
The lack of well balanced develop
ment is made manifest by an anlysis
of contracts let and permits issued to
date. Residence construction leads.
Public buildings, roads, bridges. and
other types of building for public pur-
poses are next in Importance, stimu-
lated somewhat by desire to relieve un-
employment. Business and industrial
construction, which must be done on q
basis OF cost that will permit present
and continuing return on the invest
ment, has not expanded correspond
ingly.
Despite the handicap Of high costs,
home building activity is being main
tanned for the present because the
housing necessity compels 1t, even on
the basis OF uneconomicaI investments
Putlic building and construction are
also being done on a high cost basis
which will be reflected in high tax
rates for years TO come. Public build
ing. like residence building. cannot
continue indefinitely under these con-
dltions.
Labor itself Is the chief sufferer in
the situation. Resistance by important
classes OF labor to wage declines in a
period of declining prices discrepancies
the entire productive organization Of
the country and contributes to unem-
ployment in other lines. The malnte-
nance of building operations on high
wage levels delays general wage read
tustment. II means exhorbitant rents
and prohibitive costs for homes for
worlmen. 1t is a general deterrent TO
a return to normal industrial. CONNER
cial and financial activity.
On the whole, labor costs in the
building field are not greatly reduced
from their maximum. Transportation
Is very large part OF the laid down
cost Of building materials and the ad-
iustment of railroad rates is deferred
by the refusal OF railway labor to
recognize that the period Of war wages
Is over In other words, high building
costs are being maintained directly and
indirectly by labor costs. 1t Is there
that the fundamental correction must
be made.

gaze of genuine affection that I saw,
such as might have seen in my own

DO 1T nowl

Ideas are epidemic, as we'll as influ-
enza. Someone sees a ghost" which
throws stones or sets the house on
fire. and behold all over the country
come reports OF ghosts" Someone
who has a reason for not wanting the
children of today well educated sees a
mythical objection to the Towner-
Sterling BILL now before congress,
which provides for a department of
education and a chief who is a member
OF the cabinet. and all over the country
little men OF little minds echo the cry
of "paternalism."
The Towner- Sterling bin requires
these three things in a state before it
can receive the "paternal" federal aid
TO education provided in the bill:
J. A public school opportunity OF
not less than "a weeks.
2. Compulsory attendance at some
school. public or private. for at least
"a weeks in the year. OF all children
between Z and IA.
8. English is the basic language OF
instruction in all schools, public and
private, in the common branches.
The man who comes out In the open
and says these provisions are wrong.
or American, or vicious may have
courage, If not sense.
As a matter of sober fact, there are
no real objections to the bill, even by
those who don't want it! The only
persons who don't want it are the peo-
pie who have always fought education,
who see in education Of the masses the
end OF spiritual and thus civil tyranny.
But the people Of the United States as
whole want education believe in ed
ucation. demand education, know that
education is the one and only salvation
for both the individual and the ma
ton.
Talk Is cheap. Action takes thought
and time. When the Towner- Sterling
bill passes it VIII pass because enough
newspapers, clergymen. educators. in
fluential men and common, ordinary,
every day citizens have printed, talked
and written about their convictions
both to and at their respective legisla-
tors.
You who read this have represen-
tative in congress and the right to
address two senators. Three two-cent
stamps and your convictions sent to
these gentlemen will aid in bringing to
your schools. your community, your
children the same federal aid which
has helped your and other communities
