Recent reports Of the progress of retrenchment
and reform in the management of the states in
dustr1es indicate that very satisfactory results have
Deen reached, and that substantial economies have
been effected. In connection with the Home Build
ing association the statement is made that the asso-
citation cannot be revived without a change in the
present laws which will prohibit issuance Of bonds
Until SO per cent of the cost of a house has been
paid.
The best change that can be made in the Home
Building law is to repeal it and direct that the as
ISOLATION go entirely out Of business except for clos
ing up the accounts left open under the late waste
full and inefficient management.
The state of North Dakota has no more need for
a home building law than a dog has for two tails.
There has been a lack Of home building in North
Dakota during the past few years, not because 81
lack Of funds for building, although funds for ali
sorts OF purposes were scarce, but because the cost
OF labor and materials was 50 great that it was not
safe to build. Any intelligent man contemplating
the building of a $1,000 house two years ago knew
that almost to a certainty, that house would shrink
n value on his hands by at least 20 per cent within
two or three years. There were circumstances in
which, even with that prospect, it was goodsbusi-
ness to build. But such cases were rare. The
shf1nkage has come. Costs are as near the bottom
as they are likely to 60 in a long while. The house
that cost 5000 two years ago can be built for
1900 today. The man in Grand Forks, and pre-
tsunably elsewherein the state, who wants to build
such 2 house and who has 20 per cent Of the price
TO invest, can borrow the rest at a moderate rate Of
interest and on easy terms Of payment.
The state cannot help matters any, and its assist
ance issnot needed. The thing to do with the Home.
Building association IS to close it up. 81.

WELLSASKS QUICK ACTION FOR FLOOD
 VICTIMS OF DELTA
With Red Cross Emergency Funds at Low Ebb, Relief Needed immediately to
 Carry on Work

Quick and generous response to the Red Cross appeal for s50o,ooo for relief measures in the flood-swept regions of the lower Mississippi was urged yesterday by Oscar Wells, chairman of the Jefferson county chapter of the American Red Cross.
 Many have responded generously to this cause" MT Wells declared. but want to urge on every citizen Of Jefferson county the necessity or quick action and prompt relief in an emergency such as this. Thousands are suffering down along the Missis- sippi and thousands more will soon be starving if effective relief meas ures are not speeded up.
 The Red Cross expended all of it's available funds for such purposes be- fore an appeal for more funds was ever made. So relief work Is actu- ally being held up today until suffi- cient funds are assured for carrying 1t on. am sure that the people of this city are as mindful as those of other communities of the deplorable conditions and intense suffering ex- isting among the people, particularly the women and children of nearby states
 According to reports from south ern division Headquarters of the Red Cross, communities smaller than ours have already given great deal more than we have to this cause, and l want to urge on every one the neces- sity of prompt action"
 The appeal for funds was made some days ago by both the national chairman of the American Red Cross, Judge John Barton Payne, and Presi- dent Warren c. Harding. As quick iy as the money is being collected by, the local chapter here. and else where, 1t Is sent direct to national headquarters, and from there to the flooded areas, where it is being ex- pended for food and clothing for the homeless refugees that continue to pour into the Red Cross tent camps just on the edge of the water-covered areas.
 Funds received at American Red Cross headquarters. 5f7 Jefferson County Bank building; Birmingham Trust & Savings company; First Ma tiona1 bank.
