THE HOME SHORTAGE

II has been figured that 7s6, ,n0n new dwellings will be built in the United States this year. thanks 10 the build ing boom which Is under way but which has q long way 10 go before the shortage that was created during the high price period is overcome At the beginning Of 1922 II was estimated that we were short about 100000 or about one houae to every hundred and ten people,
 Out of he estimated 7ss,ooo homes 10 be built 6ll,o GOO are for normal re- qulrements, mostly as replaeements for old ones. leaving l55,ooo new homes to apply to the shortage.
 The great shortage, our inability to make any great progress toward bring ing the percentage Of homes and families to a balance makes for high rents and will do so for some time to come. We must either pay the rent TOT what We ltslrt UT su'hNi N'"hiPN' conditions in some place where we may get along with several other peo- pie or families
 The home problem is getting too much of a start on the population, the shortage will become more acute un- less we more than keep pace with the increase in population and work against the deficit that we already have.
 The home builder need have no fear of losing much money in proceed ing with his plans to build at once, Costs may be high, he may save lit- tie by waiting for the price of some certain commodity that is to go into his building to come down, but the chances are that his gain in wanting will be offset by his rent charges in the interim In the long run he has nothing to lose in his venture and probably much to gain. It will take too long to overcome the handicap that the shortage has imposed upon us There will not be a decline in house prices or rents until we have built enough houses to make them superf1ous Until we do they will be in demand We are not going to over take a shortage of million homes in tion fails to further increase, some thing which is not likely.

AMERICAN CONCERNS IN
 GERMANY

Several American manufacturers have chosen to take advantage of the opportunity for cheap labor offered in the demoralized money markets and the lowered financial status of Ger many and are either contemplating the opening of factories in Germany or have done so. Their day of reckon ing is coming, it is said, the time will come when they will pay for the bene- fits that they are now getting and pay handsomely.
 After all, all property is the proper ty of the state or of the nation, it's owners being SO by grace of the well fare of the unit to which they belong In hard times is is possible to so levy taxes that the entire value of the property is wiped out by the debt that is owed upon it. Things have never reached such a pass in this country and probably never will but, should we De COn1rOntoQ With situation Tn which it became necessary to i'm mediately raise a vast sum of money and had no recourse other than the heavy taxation of property in the land it would soon become evident that the owner of a block, business or per sonal, was merely lease in effect, at a price which the government would set.
 Germany, someday. will have to pay the piper, she will have to make good for the time that her printing presses have been turning out her currency. she will have to accumulate a reserve against that issue of money. Just at present it is not bothering her. but it must comes, nevertheless.
 In the creation of her reserve she may turn to the heavy taxing of property When the mark swings back to near par value there is liable to follow a period of severe depression. The going is good in Germany now, it cannot always be so.

In smoothing the trail, some times at the cost of great effort to himself, the passerby does not work for his own good, he smooths for those who will follow. In beautify- ing it's edges with acts of human Kindness he beautifies for others. al so, not for himself. All of his ac- complshments are milestones along his path, for others to mark their trail.
 Some there are who prefer to pass along the road neither smoothing the bumps or beautifying the surround ings. These leave nothing to admire for those to come. They simply pass along. following the line of least re- sistance and bothering not a whit about their followers.

NEWSPAPER POLITICS

Perhaps the best way to de-
 termine the political sympathies
 of newspaper which professes
 to be independent is to ascertain
 the politics of the editor. The
 New Britain Herald adopted
 child of the late Congressman
 Robert J. Vance, uses up columns
 of space every now and then
 denying that it is democratic and
 devotes nearly as much space to
 attacks on the republican party.
 Yet, when it's young editor, John-
 stone Vance, appeared before the
 New Britain electorate eight years
 ago to ask election to the House
 of Representatives, it was as
 candidate on the democratic
 ticket and running mate of the
 present democratic mayor of New
 Britain, Angelo M. Paonessa. And
 New Britain gave them it's cus-
 tomary answer to democrats run-
 ming for the Legislature, turning
 down Paonesso by 1,1S7 plurality
 and the democratic editor by
 1,241. Paonessa, however. frank
 ly admits that he is still a demo-
 crat."
 This from our cheery contempor- aries at the other end of the dinkey line, the Hartford Courant. We con- graduate the venerable master upon its statement of facts, the editor of the Herald did run for representa- tive several years ago, and on the democratic ticket at that It may have been eight, we have forgotten the exact number of years. But a lot of The amount of water over the dog water has gone over the dam since that time.
 The amount of water over the dam is irrelevant however, the burning question of the moment is the politics of the Herald. It appears from the above, the Courant is unable to com prehend how any individual may pro- fess one political belief at one time and grant another political party any thing at any time in his writings. This is not surprising, coming from the Courant. Its mind and it's ways are set, no good exists outside of the ranks of its political followers no in- dependence can be in politics. The paper with ideas of its own" certain ly has these ideas deeply ingrained. If . one-way mind is indicative of age. we are thankful for our youth.
 And the Herald is sorry that it so happens that columns of stuff which the Courant believes attacks the re- publican party has to be printed at this time. We shall print articles that |As democrats vii, ihink is an attack

Opportunity SchooIs

In every community there is a
certain proportion of children who
are not normal in ability. In foIm-
er years these backward pupils drag
ged hopelessly behind their classes.
Desiring to excel in some way, they
were apt to cultivate mischief as a
means of proving they were not
wholly defc cent in ability.
Progressive school systems now
establish what are often called "Op-
portunity schools, which are special
classes for these sub-normal chill
dren. Ususally about half of the
time of such groups is given to hanG
work, which interests such pupils
and arouses their sluggish mentality.
Instead of beng melted to lives
of insubordination, they are induced
to do real work, and enter usefuI
Such instruction and the
special attention needed will not
probably cost anything IN the long
run, as it saves a certain proportion
Of these children from being depen-
dents and possible criminals.

BIG CORN WANTED I
Prize For Largest Ear Grown in
Iowa This Season.

Ames, Iowa. What Iowa fam
er grew the largest ear of corn this
year? That IS TIE question which is
worrying the Iowa Corn and Small:

viii award prize to the farmer who
shows the biggest ear at the annua,
corn show to be held at Iowa State
College Jan. %, to Feb. 3, in connec-
tion with the annual farm week meet
ings.
In addition to the $4,000 in prizes
and l07 silver cups that are awardea
the adult exhibitors at the show,
special prizes for boys and girls
club exhibitors amounting to $500
will be offered for the first time this
year. These prizes will be given to
the junior exhibitors of corn in
classifeationS similar to those of the
grown ups.
Another special prize will be
offered to the exhibitor who shows
the largest collection Of unusual
products grown in the state. Many
farmers have freak crops, such as
cotton and tobacco and other non
Iowa products and it is hoped that
this will bring an unusual array OF
Iowa grown freaks to the show.
J. L. Robinson, secretary of the
association, urges all prospective eX-
hibitors to start early their selec-
ton of show samples so that they
can have a chance to substitute ears
for any that are damaged by shrink

Conscription for Everybody

A constitutional amendment has
been introduced in congress which
would provide for conscripting labor,
wealth, and property in case of an
other war, so that the entire re-
sources Of the nation would be avail
able to fight such a conflict. Much
can be said in favor of such a plan,
though it needs to be carefully de-
fined.
The industrial disturbance occurr-
ing in this country since the war
happened largely because no plan
had been arranged to secure the SER
vices of the people and the indus
tries. Enormous wages had to be
paid in all the war work plants,
which made it necessary to advance
wages the same in other industries.
That made prices advance by a SIM
liar amount, and upset the whole
economic system that had been built
up after years of careful develop
ment.
