MAY REVISE TAX PLAN.
Ohio Association Names Committee
to Make Investigation.

First step toward the agreement of
Ohio groups on constitutional
amendment revising the entire taxa
ton system OF the state has been
taken in the appointment by the Ohio
Tax Association Of a committee of
seven to act in an advisory capacity
toward the framing of an amendment
upon which an agreement can be
reached. The amendment, III line
with the general movement for tax
adjustment advocated by the National
Association of Real Estate Boards. is
being urged by the Ohio Association
of Real Estate Boards through the
state tax association.
Repeal OF the uniform rule for taxa
ton of all property at it's true value
in money is asked by all the civic
and semi-ctvic organizations repre-
scented in the tax association. Reso-
lutionS adopted by the tax associa-
ton favor compulsory reappraisal of
real property at least once every four
years. and call for passage of a debt
limitation amendment to the state
constitutions

of long distance motor touring. 1t
is impossible to get definite data on
all these smaller hotels, but it is
fairly safe to say that ~their cost
adds at least s25,00O,000 to the total.
Thus the grand total of new hotel
construction throughout the country
during the present year is we'll above
$3.50, 900 600. according to conserva
tive estimates.
This twenty five million-dollar fig
ure does not include the vast amount
of hotel construction that is now
under way, but which will not be
completed until next year. Present
indications are that 1924 will be a
bigger year in the matter of new
hotel construction than 1928 has
been. If all the hotels that are now
being planned were to go through,
hotel construction in 1924 would be
well over $500, 900. However. as
in other years, many of the present
projects doubtless will fall by the
wayside, or at .1gast, be postponed
until another ySaE~zBut there al
ready is enougAsNew construction
we'll under way,eSo3Ae of it nearin g
completion, and ENSugh other con-
struction acknowledgements to make
it certain that at least another quar-
ter-billion dollars worth of new
hotels will be opened within the com
ing twelve months.

HOTEL ERECTION
TO BREAK RECORD
Construction in 1923, Total
ing $780, o0,0 900, to Be
Exceeded This Year.

Notable efforts to relieve the hous-
ing shortage throughout the country
last year We're accompanied by a
movement to provide more temporary
homes in the form Of hotels. There
was Il bumper crop of hotels in the
United States in 1923, and present
indications are that 1924 will be a
bigger year in the matter of new
hotel construction.
Last year was the biggest on the
record with respect to number, value
and size of new hotels completed and
opened in the United States. Since
January /, 1928, more than $50 new
hotels of forty-four-room capacity or
larger have been built and opened.
The total cost of these hotels was
approximately S235.00O. 900, a sum
which is said to establish a new high
water mark in value of new hotel
construction.
In addition to these $50 hotels,
several hundred smaller hostelries
were built, some with no more than
ten or fifteen rooms, but generally
from twenty-five to forty rooms
apiece. A considerable percentage of
these were resort hotels and the rest
were small town hostelrieS built as
a result of the growing popularity

CAUTIOUS BUYING
OF HOMES URGED
Need of More House Owners,
However, Is Stressed by
Herbert Hoover.

Maintaining high percentage of
individual home owners is one of the
searching tests that now challenge
the people of the United States" ac-
cording to Herbert Hoover, Secretary
of Commerce. Mr.. Hoover is presi-
dent Of Better Homes in America, the
educational movement for the i'm
provement of American homes from
the standpoints of comfort, cohyen-
fence, beauty and economy of man
agement.
Encouraging thrift for home own
ership is one of the manw aims of
Better Homes in America. Govern
ment figures show that in 1920, when
the last general census was taken,
only 456 American families out of
each 1000 owned the homes In which
they lived, a decrease of five families
for each thousand. compared with
two decades before. North Dakota
led all other states of the Union, 653
families in each 1000 owning the
homes in which they lived.
Questions for Buyers.
Buying a home is often the largest
investment made by a family. The
Department of Commerce has had ex-
perts study this question-Dr. John
NJ. Cries and James S. Taylor-and
they say the prospective home buyer
should catechise himself in this way:
What is the family's annual in
come, and what will it, probably be
next year and the year after?
IF business slackens, is 'he likely
to lose his position or have his earn
ings reduced?
will any one else in the family be
able to earn an income?
What does the family now pay
for rent each year?
How much of the income is being
saved?
How much could the family afford
to pay out each year in paying for
house, and for the expenses that
go with it?"
Treasurer of Movement
DIR. Cries is treasurer of Better
Homes in America. Mr.. Taylors his
assistant is its secretary.
These experts strongly urge that
written agreements be made by home
purchasers In regard to financing.
building and purchasing, with careful
attention given to legal details.

Industrial Income Largest.
These statistics show that 80 per
cent of the income of these six states
is industrial rather than agricultural.
The crops, of course, are still i'm
portant and it is interesting to COM
pare returns on this source of income
with last year. Indiana, for instance,
shows a gain of 16 per cent in 1928
1924 crops over i922-1923. Illinois
shows an increase of IL per cent in
return; Ohio, Is per cent gain; Ken
lucky, per cent gain; Michigan, Is
per cent gain, and Wisconsin a j per
cent gain.
Wisconsin, however, is doing ex-
ceedingly well with its dairy inter-

business, which began in 1920, one of
the most spectacular features was the
relative strength of the dairying re-
eions 1t was shown not only statis-
