ericksburg and Spotsylvania
BattlefieldS

Fredericksburg, Va, Oct. 19.-(P)
American prosperity and standards
Of living have reached levels never
before experienced by any people in
human history" President Coolidge
said here today, in dedicating the
Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania
county battlefields.
The chief executive traced this
prosperity to the union which the
Civil war preserved, and saw in to-
days ceremony sign that resent
ment between north and south was
being forgotten and reconciliation
is becoming complete" The whole
nation. he said, could join in cele-
brating the battles fought in this
vicinity because "out of a common
expiation our common country has
been greatly blessed"
I'm these advantages, as it has
slowly risen from it's prostration the
south has more than amply partici-
pated," Mr.. Coolidge said. "Since
1900 that progress has been most
marked. In the southern states alone
the wealth, the manufactures, the
mineral and the farm products, the
banking resources, and the exports,
are of about the same value today
that they were in the whole United
States in 1900"
Is National Occasion
"This day, however, is not to mark
local or sectional OCCASION" Mr..
Coolidge continued. ut is to mark
national occasion. The great ques-
tions which were at issue on these
battlefields were national questions.
Out OF the decision to which they
were finally brought there has been
common advantage and common
progress which has accrued to the
whole nation. Had the decision been
otherwise we should have all been
robbed of great part of the pride
which we all feel today in our coun-
try. Her achievements Of the past
years would have been Invested of
much Of their value and her pros
poets for the future would have been
devoid Of much Of their hope. In
stead OF one great country enjoying
domestic peace and progress, holding
commanding position in the world.
we should have been region Of hos
tile factions, impotent at home and
despised abroad. The service which
we did for the cause of humanity in
1898, the world crisis in which we
successfully performed our part in
1917, would all have been impossible.
Long since our common heritage
would have been dissipated, our
glory would have departed"
Referring to the country's prog
ress since 1860, President Coolidge
said:
"Many different elements have
contributed to this development, but
they all rest on the fundamental fact
that we are large country furnish
ing large market able to consume
the output Of mass production
This situation has encouraged the
introduction Of labor-saving machin-
cry" he added.
Cites Industrial Revolution
Mechanical power in the United
States now lis equivalent to the
work Of 5000, 00O, 900 employees IN
our industries" the president said.
In transportation average freight
rates have been halved to cent per
mile since 1890, passenger traffic
has been trebled and freight traffic
expended six times IN value, while
1900 miles Of improved roads have
been built, he went on.

BUILDING REFINANClNG
BASED ON REVENUES
Trend Toward Actual Eearnings OF
Property as Basis for
capitalization.

Refinancing of large building projects
throughout the country and the trend
toward realty appraisals and capitaiiza-
ton based on actual and not fictitious
revenues are now we'll recognized prob
lens in the real estate securities field,
according to Hugh Herndon, vice presi-
dent of bond corporation OF New
York
"A great many buildings have been
constructed which, through optimism
and enthusiasm of the owners. have
been improperly financed" Herndon
said. such buildings carry mortgages
that bear a high rate Of interest ana
a heavy annual amortization. For one
reason or other the owners have found
in many instances that the completed
structure earns a much smaller net
return than expected above the operat-
ing charges. taxes. interest and amorti-
zation of the first mortgages.
Due to the reduction of interest rates
and the refunding of Government loans
an abundance of cheaper money has
appeared and become available to Dor
rowers. This means that old issues OF
securities bearing higher rates OF IN
terest are constantly being paid on and
the proceeds of such issues are being
returned to the original investors. Such
investors, thousands In number through
out the country, have had to face the
uroblem of reinvesting their money in
such a way as to avoid a reduction OF
income previously enjoyed and yet in
such a manner that safety OF principal
is assured"

realtors STUDYING.
APARTMENT COSTS.
knowledge of Expenses Cited
as Best Weapon Against
OverbuiIding.

Definite knowledge of the cost OF
operating apartment buildings will be
the best weapon against overbuilding
by spectators. This is the contention
of Charles p Marks, Birmingham, Ala.
who spoke before the property man
agement division OF the NATIONAL Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards at It's
ANIMAL convention at Louisville, Ky.
Marks as a member of committee
on uniform systems of accounting for
apartment buildings, is working on
study of the cost items in operating
apartment buildings. which is being
conducted by the association.
ut is difficult to control the over
production of apartment buildings"
Marks explained. THE speculative
builder has for several years succeeded
in borrowing substantially everything
he put into the building and has none
of his own funds invested. AS long as
this condition prevails the speculative
builder believes he has all to gain and
nothing to lose.
THE only way of controlling this
situation is through the mortgage COM
panies. / believe If they can be prop
erly posted as to the true operating
expense on this type of building and
what returns can reasonably be ex-
pected they will be more careful TO
whom they make their loans and in
what amounts.
There are very few apartment build
ings which, after paying operating ex-
penses, will earn more than z per cent
on the gross investment" Marks said.
Few purchasers realize what per-
centage of the possible rents to be re-
ceived from building will be consumed
in operating expenses. An innocent
purchaser will buy piece of property,
feeling that he is to receive a return

Wisdom of Investments in Realty
Urged by Quotations of Noted Men

E. A. White, president of a large de-
velcpment organization, quotes the
opinions of economists, fr1anciers and
statesmen as to the wisdom of investing
in real estate. According to B. c.
Forbes real estate has made more
millionaires than any other line of
business"
Marshall Field said: Buying real
estate Is not only the best way, the
quickest way and the safest way, but
the only way to become wealthy"
Andrew Carnegie said: Ninety per
cent of all millionaires become so
through owning real estate. More money
has been made in real estate than In all
industrial investments combined"
Russell Sage said: Real estate is an
imperishable asset ever increasing in
value. 1t is the most solid security
that human ingenuity has devised. It
is the basis of ali security, and about
the only indestructible security"
Hetty Green said Il advise women
to invest in real estate. 1t is the coli
lateral to be preferred above all others,
and the safest means of investing
money"
Grover Cleveland said: mo invest
ment on earth is so safe, SO sure, so
certain to enrich It's owners as unde-
veloped realty. / always advise my
friends to place their savings in realty
near some growing city: there is no
such savings bank anywhere"
william Jennings Bryan said: Real
estate is the best investment for small
savings-more money is made from the
rise in real estate values than from all
other causes combined. To speculate
in stocks is risky and even dangerous,
but when you buy real estate you buy
an inheritance"
Theodore Roosevelt said; Every per-
son who selects realty in well selected
and growing section of a prosperous
community adopts the surest and safest
method of becoming independent, for
land is the basis of all wealth"
Henry George said: 80 far as we can
see with any certainty, the quality of
value has longer and more constantly
attached to the ownership of land than
10 any other valuable thing. Every
where, in all. time among all peoples,
the possession of land is the basis of
aristocracy, the foundation of great for
tunes, the source of power.
Those who own land must be the mas
ters of the rest. Land can exist without
labor, but labor cannot exist without
land. AS population increases, as the
competition for the use of the land
becomes more intense, so are the owners
of the land enabled to get larger and
larger part of the wealth which labor
