Business Groups Looking at Home-OWning
Movement With More Favor


Sa USINESS groups are looking at the homecoming proposition In
~ a new and more favorable light. They see that taking a neigh
ii ID borly interest in developing sound financing and other machinery
for the use of homeseekers, and insisting OF the observance OF
honest, straightforward methods by those who deal with homeseekers is
not pabnnalsm but good business and good citizenship. 1t is the square
dealD-and it is not only right but essential that the cards should not be
stacked against the homeseekers.
Maintaining a high percentage of individual home-owners is one OF
the searching tests that now challenge the people of the United States.
The present large proportion of families that own their homes is both
the foundation of a sound economic and social system and a guarantee
that our society will continue to develop nationally as changing conditions
demand.
Buying or building a home requires the use of sound Judgment in
seeing that the personal needs of the family are best met with the funds
available It involves not only the carrying on of transactions of fnanc-
ing and buying or building, but it involves the proper determination of
location with respect to school, to work and to neghborhood.
A family that owns its home takes pride in it, maintains it
better, gets more pleasure out of it, and has a more wholesome, health
fl and happy atmosphere in which to bring up children. The home
owner has a constructive aim in life He works harder outside his home;
he spends his leisure hours more proftaby, and he and his family live
a finer life and enjoy more of the comforts and cultiyatng influences
of our modern civilization. A husband and wife who own their home
are more apt to save. They have an interest in the advancement of a
social syatem that permits the individual to store up the fruits of his
labor. As direct taxpayers they take a more active part in local govern
mnt. Above all, the love of home is one Of the finest instincts and the
greatest Of inspirations of our people.
If a certain family pays a sixth of its income for rent, it may be able
to devote onefourth or more to buying and maintaining a house, for the
amount thus used may include both rent and savings. Rent, or payments
on a horne, may require anywhere from oneeghth to onethTd of the
family income, depending on the special circumstances each case.
Lacl of experience should deter no one. While some risks are
involved, as is usually the cae in obtaining anything worth while, the
danger Of failure is relatively small when weighed against the adyan-
tages of an owned home.

The Law Is What Supreme Court Says 1t Is, Not
What Congress Enacts
By SENATOR LAFoLLETTE, of Wisconsin.

The law is what the Supreme court says it is and not what the
people through congress enact, aye, even the Constitution of the United
States is not what its plain terms declare, but what these nine men con-
strue it to be. In fact, five of these nine men are actually the supreme
rulers, for by a bare majority the court repeatedly has overridden the
people as declared by their representatives in congress, and has construed
the Constitution to mean whatever suited their peculiar economic and
political views.
The nine lawyers who constitute the supreme court are placed in posi-
tons of power for life, not by the votes of the people, but by presidential
appointment.
The decision handed down by the majority of the Supreme court on
May Is last, in what is commonly known as the child labor case, is merely
one Of the latest manifestations of the usurpaton of power by that court.
What [ propose is that congress shall be enabled to override this
usurped judicial veto and to declare finally the public policy just as it
has the power to override the presidential veto.

Thirty-One in Five Millions Without Schooling
Attain Distinction
By DEAN COFFEE, University of Minnesota.

Where a few years ago agriculture was largely an affair of pioneer
ing of clearing the land and tanning the wilderness, it is now a matter
of crop rotation, soil conservation and extended marketing.
Men of high-school education o these farms earned about five
hundred dollars yearly; those with some college training made about
six hundred dollars annually; but those with a complete college training
had an average yearly income Of more than three thousand dollars.
Only thirtyone persons out of five millions with no schooling attain
distinction in their work; with elementary schooling eight hundred and
eight out Of three million achieve some distinction; with a high-school
education twelve hundred out of two million rise above the average in
accomplishment; with a college education more than FIVE thousand out of
a million render notable service.
But in another way the figures mean that the college graduate has
ten times the chance Of making good that the hgh-schooI graduate has,
and twenty-five times better chances than has he who takes only the
elementary courses.

Before We Order Our Mourning Robes for the
Poor Old British Empire
BIZ LoTHRoP sTopDARD. in serIbners Magazine.

Before " e order our mourning robes for the poor old empire, we
would do well to remember a few facts. First and foremost, Britain
has been in the empire business for over three hundred years, yet she
has made only one cardinal bunder-that relating to, her American col
ones. One major disaster in three centuries is a pretty good record. 1t
shows that EngIshmen know how to handle imperial problems.
And the evidence Of this gets immensely stronger when YOU have
been privileged to meet a varied assortment of colonial officials, as l have
just been doing. They are a fine, strong, wise lot, those British empire
builders and conseryers. Cuiousy enough, they are very much of a type
a composite photograph would show striking correlahons. Most Of them
tend to be tall, with gray or blue eyes, commanding noses, decisive ehins,
and strong yet flexible jaws.
That jaw is, to my mind, the key feature of the lot; the individuals
may vary from the aforementioned form in some respects, but that
Jaw they all possess. Perhaps it may be the secret Of Brtain's empire
