ENGLISH TYPE
HOMES ON
INCREASE

The last half-dozen years has
seen d tremendous increase in the
number Of English type houses in
the larger American cities. The
popularity of this type Of home y
still growing and in every new
home development they are usually
found among the first type Of home
to be erected. These homes come In
q variety Of designs but the one
most popular among Americans
features the high itcf1ed roof, snarp
gables and, slender, up-thrust CHM
rieys.

their construction.
The original type Of homes which
come from the British Isle has been
serving as inspirations for Ameri-
can architecture for the last half
century and are Of common brick
construction.
Some of them are In stone, others
part brick and wood, protected lisu-
ally with q heavy coating Of stucco.
But none OF them are of the type
Of brick that ii sold today entirely
on the merit Of their surface ap-
pearance.
The brick-making knowledge Of
the English was inherited from the
Romans and ruins remaining today
reveal their brick to be uniform and
of one type. which save for size,
can hardly be distinguished from
some OF the earlier products of the
colonial briclxyards Of New England.

The District Court dismissed the suit

thinks he can act judiciously on such
applications.
Mr.. Nye was unable to persuade the
public lands committee to share his
viewpoint, as the nomination was re-
ported favorably by vote of to 3, bur
his objections were recorded.
Question Raised Before.
The point has been raised before
with reference to officials of the execu-
tive branch of the Government whose
names are sent to the Senate for con-
firmation, but it has not been raised by
members of Congress with respect to
their own votes. The general custom is
that a man who owns stock in COM
pany affected by pending legislation
will publicly announce this as his rea-
son for falling to vote, just as justices
of the Supreme Court refuse to take
part in the decision of cases in which
formerly they might have represented
one or the other of the parties to the
litigation
Many members of Congress are own
erS Of public utility securities and they
also, like other individuals. have in
vested their own capital in various
companies, which are going to be af-
fected by the forthcoming revision of
the tariff.
If Chairman Nye's rule were to be
literally obeyed and the view were ac-
cepted that a man could not pass
iudiciaily on questions affecting COM
panies in which he had stock interest.
most of the members of Congress might
be, it is estimated, disqualified from
voting at one time or another This
would be easily true if the rule applied

STOCK OWNERSHIP

Issue Raised in West Case
Seen as Applicable to

The Senate of the United States
will be required in passing on the
nomination of Roy o. West as Secre-
tary of the Interior to pass upon an
other question just as vital to itself
namely. whether ownership of stocks
in companies which might directly or
indirectly be affected by pending legls-
berS from voting.
Chairman Nye of the public lands
committee in opposing the confirma-
ton of Mr. West stated that he felt
the ownership of stocks iii power COM
panies by members of Mr. Vests family
disqualified him from passing on appli-
cations before the Federal Power Com
mission, of which the Secretary of
the Interior is a member Mr.. West

to members whose families are inter-
ested in corporation securities touched
by Federal legislation.
Rule Application Interesting.
Secretary West has publicly stated
that he would be willing to refrain from
sitting on any cases before the Federal
Power Commission touching the insult
properties, which he represented as an
attorney for many years. This was
not satisfactory to Senator Nye, but it
satisfied other members of the COM
mittee. The interesting thing now Is
whether the rule is going to be applied
in Congress itself with respect to all
corporations in which members or their
families may have an interest. D. L.

Massachusetts, Is Barometer
of Capitalistic Decay

earlier average. Manufacturers of
textile machinery are employing only
5196 of the number in the earlier
years, a drop of more than p pei
cent in the last II months.
The boot and shoe industry, which
also established New England as an
early capitalist center, is similarly on
the rocks with only $3.50 of the av-
erage number of workers employed in
the years 1925. Compared with a
year ago it has reduced its working
forces 1870.
The metal trades, grouped together
as the foundry and machine shop IN
dustry, are continuing on the down
grade with only $50 as many work
ers as in the earlier years. Since
June 1927 the manufacturers in this
group have laid off more than 1870
of their workers.
Massachusetts cities associated with
the rise of American industrialism
are feeling this decay. Textile cities
and New Bedford, Brockton and T 1;12S

cester and smaller towns where met

Cost of Producing Wheat
Exceeds December Sale Price

The average cost of producing al
bushel OF wheat on the farms IN 1877
was almost exactly equal TO the aver
age prlce received by farmers during
tn elaSt months of the year. The
cost was four cents above the average
price received in December, the figure
generally taken by the U. 5. depart
ment OF agriculture in establishing
the value OF the crop. This appears
from the departments report on grain
production costs for 1927.
The department found that produc-
ton costs for wheat on BIG farms
ranged from an average OF S1.O6 per
bnshel IN the western states TO S1.51
buShel in the south Atlantic states.
For all the farms the average cost
per bushel was S1.1S. This compares
with Slip in 1926.
In the last six months of 1927 the
departments index of farm prices
shows a range from an average OF
S1.2I4 IN July to $1.114 IN November
the average for the entire period be-
ing S1.S4. This average price would
have given the farmer with a cost OF
S1.1S a bushel an average profit oil
only 4-1O of a cent a buShel. But the
December price was only $1.139 Z

the department in determining the

The average yield per acre on tn

What does the protective tariff
mean to the Massachusetts factory |
worker? Less than SIS week if he
is lucky enough to have job. But
there is one chance in three that he
is unemployed. This is the answer of
the June report of the state depart
ment of labor on factory employment.
That these wage earners must now
choose between two major parties,
each supporting a tariff for protec-
ton, appears grim joke.
The situation in Massachusetts war
rants more careful study than the
monthly fluctuations of employment
in other states. June reports from
New York and Illinois show a slight
change for the better which appears
characteristic of factory employment
throughout the country. But Mas
sachusetts continues to slump. The
conditions which made New England
the pioneer manufacturing center OF
the country have changed.
Massachusetts employment is
SUMMON of the aging, Of capitalism;
in western Furone ,9s4 made England
mistress Of ~ e~ ~ established an
outn6se in New England. That order
is dosayfng and the decay will spread
as the industrialization of the world
proceeds at an increasing pace.
The Massachusetts report of June
indicates a decline of 2.59o in factory
employment compared with May, of
149o compared with June 1927 and
$3.50 compared with the average for
the five years 1919 to 1928. Since
1919 the employment level has fallen
319c. This means that where Massa-
chusetts factories gave job to about
| 714,000 workers in 1919 there were
only 100000 on the payrolls in June
of this year. The department. figures
the normal of factory workers in the
state at about 652,00e.
The cotton mills, oldest and great
est employers of factory labor in the
state, report less than half as many
workers as they employed from 1919
to 1923. On the basis of the average
for those years as 100Sothe figure for
cottonmill employment in June was
1890, drop of 1870 from June 1927.
The sharp decline from a year ago
is due in part to the New Bedford
strike but indications are that condi-
tions In the industry would have
forced shutdown anyhow and the
New Bedford mill owners were glad to
place the responsibility on labor.
All other branches of the textile
industry show sharp reductions in en-
ployment compared with June 1927.

handed in the embezzement of slime money! which he
confessed when he turned In the money to the county
treasurer, it is pointed out that number of Plenty
wood and Sheridan county Republican have bOlted the
Republican ticket, old, lifelong Republicans and
formed an Erickson for Governor club. These men
will not support Dixon for United States Senator,
Wellington D. Rankin for Governor but will support
other than B. K. Wheeler for United States Sena

these Republicans regret this move very much,
out while they boiling they will also bolt Hoover
and support Al Smith for President.
These gentlemen believe that now is good time to
