HOPE OF AMERICAN FARMER
LIES IN HIS HOME MARKET

Mr.. H. e. Miles. head of the Fair
Tarirf league, comes all the way
from ew DIRK to tell the farmers OF
the Middle West that they are
paying 100000, 900 too much each
year for their farming implements.
owing to the tariff on steel, for ex-
ample, the farmer is compelled to
absorb this additional cost. While
Mr.. Miles did not say II 30 many
words. the reasonable inference
drawn from his address Is that tar
III rates must be lowered to a point
where England and Belgium can
compete Ia the American market
| with American manufacturers.
What is the inevitable result of
such q policy? Just as sure as our
home market is opened to foreign
manufacturers on equal terms with
the selling price OF homemade pro-
ducts go down. II the selling price
goes down production cost must fol-
low. Reduction in cost of manufac-
ture can only be achieved by lower
ing wages in all branches of indus
try. When wages are cut the buy

Is reduced and where does the farm

II Mr.. Miles sensed Alright the pro-
ceedinBs of the convention he ad-
dressed he must have discovered
that the American farmer is not in
mood to destroy his own best
market by destroying the purchas-
ing and consuming power of his own
best customers. Our farmers have
access to the greatest s
market In the world, that of the
United States. For longer than .
half century the manufacturers of ,
europe have vainly tried to break ,
into this market, from which they ',
have wisely been excluded by the
protective tariff policy. Fair tariff :

every important city there is now
some sort of school for apprentices
in one or more trades. Every effort
will count in the measure of its in
tensity, but we cannot hope to build
up the deficiency OF skilled eonstruc-
tiorS Dor for quite period Of time
because our apprentice training ma
chinery is too new and untrjed.
What We should have been doing
during years of time we cannot ex-
pect to accomplish now in one short
season.
Efficiency of labor is an important
matter for copsideration. Quite un-
fortunately, there are no authentic
Of efficiency. but there is widely cir
culated opinion. backed by men who
know actual facts, that there is
chance for labor to improve wonder
fully in this respect How much con-
structfon costs have been increased
through cutting down on production
Is a story not told on any charts. 1t
is a story which labor will ultimately
have to answer for. In this day it is
distinctly unwise management upon
the part OF those who guide labor to
do anything to limit production.
Handwriting on Wall.
From a purely selfish standpoint
labor should see the handwriting on
the wall. II labor does not produce
the result will be importation of labor
which does produce and the training
OF craftsmen to take the place of the
old ones and the breaking down of
false barriers erected by unions at
great expense.

1--WE must give labor credit where
credit is due. and 1t is safe to say
that standards of production are
higher than they were Immediately
following the war The most foolish
thing labor can do during 1923 will
be to raise building cost by greedy
demands for higher wages or by
loafing on the job. The event lies
with labor.
The course of building material
prices during the past four years has
the stability of price levels, There
are those who predict long period OF
readjustment for all business. This
group looks upon any heartening ac-
tfvity as being temporary. There Is
a group which thinks we shall have q
real boom In all business during this
year which will be accompanied with
runaway markets. Such development
would be extremely unfortunate.
There are others who are of the
serious.opinion that stability Is being
effected at A level about 10 per cent
above the 1913 level. The course of
material prices indicated in the Sec
ond chart seems to indicate that at
least a temporary degree of s.abil-
ity has been brought about in the
building material field, although in
comparison with general commodity
prices, material prices. are rather
high.
Price Level During War.
"Ail during the war as might have
been expected. general commodity
prices stood at a level considerably
above that of material prices. This

Building Rush to Continue
If Intelligently Directed
National Realty Bulletin Sounds Warn
ing Against Profiteer Methods by
Those Engaged in Construction.

Sounding warning that "unintel-
ligent and shortsighted action" on the
part OF construction labor. building
material interests, OF contractors
would result in increased building
costs and a consequent building
slump during 1923, the National AS
sociation of Real Estate Boards made
public a special bulletin at the re-
cently-concluded executive conven-
ton in Florida, from which local
realtors have just returned.
The bulletin, which was prepared
for the national association by Edwin
y. Rrunner. editor of the American
Contractor. was accompanied by
charts. showing the building trend
over a recent period Of years and also
price changes of four principal build
Ing materials from 1919 to 1922. The
prospectus follows:
1T Is not putting it too strong to
say that with intelligent direction Of
activity on the part OF those engaged
IN construction, there will be a con-
tinuance OF building during 1923 on
the grand scale of 1922.
IF. however, there is such uninte1-
ligent and short-sighted action on the
part of construction labor, or building
material interests, or contractors that
the result Is appreciable increase in
building costs, there will come a
slump.
"All statistics point to the fact that
there will be very propitious spring
start in building, and there will nat
urally De some temptation to raise
costs. Should this occur. 1t might re-
suit In a temporary speeding of ac-
tfvity, because 1t is invariably the
case that action is speeded for . time
on q rising market. But the slump
VIII be waiting around the corner,
and the more feverish the activity,
the harder will be the fall.
Fear Boom Symptoms.
For these reasons. it seems logical
that we can look with satisfaction on
activity which Is not too speeded up,
and we may look with apprehension
IL too many boom symptoms manifest
themselves. Last year stands as proof

"a
H. ]. NJ. Cries of Department
Df Commerce Stresses I'M
: portance of Financing.

Nearly every American family
SHOULD plan to own home, but 1t should
lERow first how to finance home,
according to DR.. John M. Grimes,
chief of the building and housing d.
EIsion of the Department OF Com
rHerce.
-Four fundamental ideas should be
lsspt in mind in preparing to buy
ashome. DR.. Cries believes. They are:
Know exactly what you buy and
lt6w to buy it.
sKnow exactly how you are going
to pay for your home.
Beware of how and where you
obtain loans on your home.
sBe sure to ask yourself how much
can you afford.
hsgsrding the first fundamental
rect the best advice possible and
witch every step. Be sure the title
fssclear or have IL insured or guaran
teed. Make sure there are no ease
mfnts. such as the right of a tele-
phone company to place its poles
upon your lot.
Prepare for Taxes
s'You must be prepared to pay taxes
on your property. and special assess
ments for water sewerage, electric
N$ht, gas, street paving. and side
walks.
nevertheless many purchasers of
Iflhited means have suffered through
LACK of knowledge Of this funda-
mental. 1t always should be remem-
bered that in purchasing a home
mtsstep may be most unfortunate.
1.-THE second fundamental. that of
paying for the home, often Is misun-
dsrstood, and the axiom, the more
risks the borrower assumes, the fewer
1nn x1yf1l IN
fof, always should be borne in mind"
Most homes are bought on credit
There are more than 100000 mort
gagged homes in the United States,
s7ss'' si9": the building and loan ''''s'"-
1.-THE third fundamental, that of
ttw and where to obtain loans. is
taken care of by the building and
loan association. But there, too.
wsrning should be sounded. Above
alt when you start to save for
home do not throw your money into
rlntering schemes that promise big
dixidends and the chance to borrow
money at 8 per cent or less. The con-
Germs behind such schemes cannot be
Trusted.
''How much can you afyordr is the
fourth fundamental question. A man
may own & home worth one and one
half to two and one-half times MS
annual income. But the payments he
makes during the first few years
after purchasing require the most at
tantion.
Paying for Home.
ITO rent a home a man must pay
from 10 to Is per cent Cor even more)
OF his income. To buy home a man
can devote his customary savings In
addition to what he ordinarily would
pay for rent to paying off the princi-
pal of loans on his home.
t'Tn some cases, on a $4,000 house
add lot, a man earning $4,000 a year
might be able to pay off the loan in
about twelve years. This calculation
Isl based on the assumption that he
hss $1,000 cash to pay down and OBJ
tains a loan Of $4,000 from build
ing and loan association. His total
Expenditures, including interest, in
surance and upkeep, would average
about $3.50 per year, or about 271a
per cent Of his income-1s1a per cent
for rent and per cent for savings

was because OF the big demands
CAUSED for food and general supplies.
During the third quarter of 1919 the
construction materials were in such
demand that the price level arose
very rapidly and an ascendency was
erected over general commodity
price levels. This ascendency has
since been maintained. Farm prod
uce has been the low member of the
general commodity group last year.
Chart No. 2 gives a detailed ac-
count Of material prices. showing the
trends Of four basic materials instead
OF q general average and being con-
structed by quarters. 1t is construct-
ed on postwar basis, the
base price in the case of each mater
ial being the average price during the
first ten months of 1921. The main
thing to note in this graph fs that
in the case of each material there has
been an upward price action, but that
in no case has there been manifest
the runaway market conditions which
prevailed especially in the lumber
market in the latter part of 1919 and
the first part of 1920.
Amy market upward rise in mate
rial prices this year will cause q re-
action in the volume of building and
will be unfortunate.
Evening star., 1923-01-27

! that large volume OF building can
be maintained at the present level OF
building costs, which is, In round
numbers. about 80 per cent above the
cent below the disastrous peak level
Of 1890.
1.-The f1uctuation of building costs
is plated on a curve in relation to
| the volume Of building on the accom-
panying chart. In 1919 the averAGe
what it was in .1s1a; in 1920 1t was
269 per cent: in 1921 1t was 1913 per
cent, and by quarters in 1922 1t was
1872 per cent for the first quarter, 116
per cent for the second. 176 per cent
for the third and 181 per cent for the
fourth quarter.
This curve Is a combination of
building and construction labor costs
according to official wage scales and
Of building material prices weighed
80 per cent for material costs and
40 per cent for labor costs 1t does
not give weight for varying levels
OF labor efficiency nor for bonuses
paid above scales.
1T Is well to call attention to the
volume curve expressed In this chart.
while we are considering Ii. The curve
is produced from total figures for
building permits in twenty important
cities of the United States reduced to
percentage basis, using the volume in
1913 at 100 per cent. The averages
are annual and do not, therefore, show
the seasonal fluctuations
1922 Record Breaking.
"It Is evident that the nearer the
coincidence between the volume line
and the cost line. the nearer 10 the
actual volume Of construction to that
of 1913. The graph shows that there
was less actual building during 1917
to 1920 than in 1919. The lines cross
in 1921. In 1922 we have built high
above the 1919 level.
The Importance of labor costs upon
building for this year canot be over
estimated. Undeniabiy. labor Is in a
position to retain the present wage
standard or even to raise II. The
