Housing Body
Urges Blocks
of New Homes
Plans OH Foot for Construc-

to Alleviate Shortage
of Homes.

New houses renting for s25 or $50
a month are needed in Omaha, ac-
cording to findings OF the new bust
ness and housing committee of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce which
Tuesday went over confidential re-
ports from 80 local employers.
The committee Is now getting IN
touch with men who will finance the
building of a large number of low
priced houses In different sections of
the city. Groups of these houses will
be built conveniently near to the va
rious large Industries which report q
housing shortage among their en-
ployes.
To Announce Locations.
The committee will make public the
location of these new blocks as
soon as hey are agreed upon.
The suggestion Of large new sub
urb OF fow.priced houses. which at
tracted considerable attention at first,
was thought by the committee less
practical than the plan adopted OF
scattering small blocks OF houses
through the city.
Most of the homes now going up
cost from $7.505 on. according to A.
C. Kennedy of the Peters Trust COM
pany, and are out of the reach of
families whose incomes are SIPS or
$50 a month.

High Tariff
on Wheat Is
Omaha
Telegram to President Coolidge
Asks That Duty Be Doubled
to Bar Canadian
Competition.
Howell Endorses Pl a n


A higher tariff wall to bar out al
foreign wheat from competition will
American growers is proposed by
Omaha men who have been instru
mental In the movement to secure
better prices for western farmers.
The threat of large importations OF
grain from the Canadian northwest
Is the thing these believe should be
guarded against. Under the new
tariff law the president has power
to increase duties on imports wher
any such emergency arises. In q
telegram sent to President Coolidge
last night he was asked to double the
present tariff on wheat in order tc
protect the price in the United States
from being driven down by cheaT
Aeompetition.
Senator r. B. Howell gave his en-
dorsement to this idea.
ANY likelihood of the great Cana
dian wheat crop depressing the
market for the American farmers
wheat i'm this country should be
prevented, if possible" the Nebras-
ka senator said. 81 understand
that this would be possible through
the exercise of the presidential
power by increasing the tariff on
Canadian wheat to such point as
will eliminate it as a competitor in
this market.
"Some Of our great Industries
have enjoyed the protection Of the
tariff for decades. 1t would seem
that here is an opportunity of af-
fording the wheat farmer a direct
benefit in the same manner"
The message to President Coolidge
sent by member of the Omaha
Grain exchange, refers to the fact
that other industries than agriculture
have never failed to receive all the
protection they needed. and that the
middle west feels it only fair to ex
pect similar treatment for its main
industry. The telegram to the White
House reads:
"0ne of the great questions of
today is how to save the wheat
farmer from ruin and get him
1ying wage for his labor. Many
well posted people figure we have
raised enough wheat i'm the United
States for cur own use, but owing
TO the enormous crop claimed in
Canada this country will be flooded
with Canadian wheat i'm spite of
the present duty. thereby depress-
ing the price of our farmers wheat
still further bslow the cost of pro-
ducfion.
'Now, the republican party has
always fought for tariff that
would protect its industries and its
labor and under the present law
you as president have the authority
to increase the duty on imp0rta-
tions as the situation may demand.
"Is not this tha time to exercise
that authority vested i'm you for
emergencies by doubling the pres
ent duty on impOrtations of wheat?
Such action would unquestionably
stimulate the price of what in this
country and while helping our farm
ers would not increase the price of
bread to the laboring man because
bread is retailing at practically the
same price II was when wheat was
So per buslieI.'
