of President Hoover. would undoubted-
ly make 1t possible to double the
amount of construction work in any
year when such work is vitality neces-
sary, and decrease it an equal amount
in imitation periods, when such work
is not essential, it was declared by Col
Clarence o. Sheriff., who recently re-
signed as city manager of Cincinnati
to become general manager of chain
store organization. He told of the sue
cess met by Cincinnati, the County of
Hamilton, Ohio, in which that city is
located, and the board of education in
attacking the problem of stabilization
and employment through budgeting
major development projects before the
crisis developed.
Declaring that residential building
represents not only the largest type OF
construction, but is in some respects
the most complex, Ernest T. Trigg
sounded note that was generally re-
f1ected when he said that better stabi-
lization in residential building may be
promoted by the periodic vacancy sur
vey, which ought to be in sufficient
detail to show the specific types and
neighborhoods of dwellings and busi-
ness properties where vacancies are
high or low. Such surveys nave been
made, it was stated, in a rapidly grow
ing number Of cities during the past
few years.

Ohio, together with its municipalities
and counties, in stabilizing construction

BLOW TO OWNER
IN HOWELL BILL
Rufus S. Lusk Sees Respon-
sibiIities of Aiding Law
and Foiling Suits.

One section of the Howell bill for
strengthening prohibition enforcement
in the National Capital, in the opinion
of Rufus S. Lusk, secretary of the Op-
erative Builders Association, not only
would make property owners and their
real estate agents, in sense, 'prohibi-
ton agents." but also would place them
in jeopardy Of lawsuits for election of
tenants suspected of violating prohibi-
tion laws.
Strong protest over this section of the
measure, now in the Senate, was voiced
by Mr.. Lusk last week at a hearing on
the bill, at the request of member of
the association and with the approval
of its executive committee.
The section of the measure referred
to reads:
THAT any person who knowingly per-
mits any building owned or leased by
him or under his control, or any part
thereof to be used in maintaining a
common nuisance as defined by the
national prohibition act without taking
all reasonable measures to eject there
from the psrson so using the same,
shall be deemed guilty of maintaining
such nuisance and be subject to the
penalty prescribed therefor in the ma
tional prohibition act.'
Responsibility Upon Owners.
''This section means, if it msans any
thing, that owners and real estate
agents would become in sense prohi-
bition enforcement agents." Lusk de-
clared.
"At the present time, in the event
common nuisance is proved as being
maintained on property or within
part of 1t, that property or that part
wherein the nuisance is may be pad
locked.
''The only penalty the owner may
suffer is the padlocking of his property;
he is not criminally liable. Under this
provision of the proposed law, an owner
If he knew speakeasy was on his prop
erty and did not make every reasonable
effort to get the tenants out, could be
sent to Jail for one year along with the
bootlegger and probably accompanied by
the real estate agent, also.
Elections Are Serious.
every one is familiar with the pro-
cedure of reputable real estate firms in
endeavoring to prevent such nuisances
being maintained and thereby keeping
the property from being padlocked. An
dScIll Va oil OWLCI udS UO use SOIIl6 care
in starting to eject a person for violat-
ing the prohibition law or any other
law; if he makes mistake, damages
can be collected from him for falsely
accusing one of violating law.
IF this paragraph of the proposed act
should go into effect, the agent and
owner would take more chance of suit
on account Of ejectment for an alleged
violation Of the law, because it would be
possible to put him in jail If he did not
use all reasonable measures in getting
the tenant out.
THE district attorney seems to have
considerable difficulty proving nuisance
cases; why should the owner be practic-
ally forced to prove it before the district
attorney does, in order to eject tenant
so that the owner or his agent will not
be subject to Jail sentence?
"The district attorneys Office advised
the writer that this section would be
drastic and very hard to enforce"

PICKUP IN HOME
BUILDING noted
Normally Almost Back After
Market Crash, Says Sur
vey Chairman.

Residential building, the weakest
spot in the construction industry in its
recovery from the effects of the stock
market slump of last Fall, has made a
pronounced pickup, according to re-
ports of leaders on whats Ahead for
Business in Construction" meeting at
the willard Hotel this week in con-
junction with the Chamber of Com
merce convention.
Recounting the results of the Nation
wide survey just completed of conditions
in the residential field, Fenton B.
Turck, jr., chairman of the National
Building Survey Conference, declared
that normalcy has almost returned.
Return of funds to small mortgage
sources and availability of such funds
struction now is evident, he said.
While the small towns and suburban
areas were said to have been carrying
the burden of residential construction,
it was pointed out that there has de-
veloped an upturn in this type of con-
struction in the largest cities and may
be expected to continue for the re-
manider of the year.
DR.. John M. Cries, chief, division of
public construction, Department of
Commerce, told Of the co-ordinated ef-
forts of the Federal, State and munich
pal governments, which have stepped
up public construction, brought about
a large degree of stabilization, with
continued employment and purchasing
power. Contracts awarded by these
governmental sources during the first
quarter of the current year we're shown
to have increased 80 per cent over the
corresponding period of last year, which
previously was the record year. Con-
tracts to the value of 5000, 500 900, he
said, were awarded by the public utili-
ties and public works during the first
quarter of 1880 in 81 States, an increase
of SIS per cent over the first quarter
of 1929.

directors of the Chamber Of Commerce
of the United States, following report
of conditions relating to residential con-
struction made by the executive COM

I'm most sections an ample supply Of
credit for home building is available at
Prices and terms for materials and
equipment for such construction have
become fairly well stabilized on a basis
satisfactory to the purchaser. Permits
issued for repairs and betterments to
existing structures since the early part
of the year have increased 80 per cent,
and the stimulus given these activities
has aided appreciable in relieving un-
employment
also at hand it would appear that at
tention might now be directed with ad-
vantage to requirements for residential
building. The resumption of prudent
building activity in the residential field
will aid materially in bringing employ
ment back to normal"
In its report of conditions relating to
residential construction the executive
committee said:
"The most important single factor of
recent development has been the in
crease in the supply and reduction in
the cost of money available for resi-
Dental building. 1t is true that prices
and terms for materials and equipment
for such construction are as favorable
now as they are likely to be for any
coming period of months"

Although this home is essentially of
the simple English cottage type, the
upper exterior embodies a variation
from the customary half-timber style.
Ample window area is provided with
out departing from the character of
the English type that usually requires
small windows to preserve its natural
symmetry.
A choice of material is allowed for
the lower exterior. Either brick, stucco
or stone may be used.
There is no porch proper, but the
dining room in the rear may serve as
a sun porch. Characterization is pro-
vided throughout both floors. Three

G.. N. RAILWAY TAKES
OFF LOCAL FREIGHT

Owing to the constant decline in
business, officials of the Great North
ern Railway have found it necessary
to discontinue the so-called local"
freight train between Superior and
Sandstone, officially known as No. 600
on the down trip and No. go going up.
The handling of local freight and
switching in the various yards is now
being done daily by extra trains
which in some instances have i'm
proved the service, while in others it
has impaired it.
The increasingly large number of
freight trucks travelling on the high
ways has cut into the railways bust
ness to such an extent that this cut
was made necessary. Larger engines
and longer trains of course also con-
tribute toward reducing the train
crews
The local freight between Sand
stone and st. Paul has been changed
from a daily to three times a week,
with local work also being done by
extra trains.

Washington, December 16-School
books will tell you that the White
House and the Capitol are approx
mately one mile apart. That is true,
geographically. Recently events have
shown that the two places are as re-
mote, mentally at least, as the north
and south poles. The country is
treated to the spectacle of the inhabi-
tants of these two official buildings
shaking their fists in dramatic gesti-
culations. When the first impressions
of tolerant amusement are replaced
by sobriety in thinking the scene is
not inspiring or helpful in these days
of unrest and concern. A President
and Congress at loggerheads offers
no solution to urgent economic prob
lens of the hour.
The 10 or Is days of recess of Con-
gress over the holidays may break
down the fear Of COLLINS that marks
the exchange Of criticism between the
Chief Executive and the legislative
body. 1t is obvious to fair-minded
observers that a special session will
be inevitable il the warning factions
are in turmoil at the beginning of
the new year. The President appeared

strangest feature was the fact that
not a single forceful voice was raised

where citizens go beyond the current

From an impartial, yet intimate view,

As an illustration, an inquiry in
representative quarters showed that
Hoover has lost his popularity which
may account for the attacks from
Congress. 1t would be another story
III the President had developed a

were better. The political opportun-
lists, and this has no partisan boun-
daries, are playing tag with current
resentment against business depres-

Sandstone Ranks High With
Two Winning Decisions;

A debate between ASkov and Hinck-
ley took place at the D. B. S. hall in
Askov, Monday night, and was won
by Hinckley in a decision given by a
critic Judge, L. Ramsland, of the
speech department of the University
of Minnesota
The question, Resolved, that chain
terests of the American public" was
argued in the affirmative by the
Askov team consisting of Dagmar
Gravesen, Edith Hansen, and Mar
garet Hansen. The negative was up
held by Beatrice Swan, Bernard Zim-
brik, and Mary Moffit, composing the
Hinckley team.
Good arguments were brought out
on both sides and in some in
stances in a brilliant manner with
arguments as to taxation, unemploy-
ment, service to the people, mass pro-
duction, and the menace of chain
stores becoming a monopoly having
their part in the arguments.
Critic Judge Talks.
Mr.. Ramsland gave his decision
after the debate and explained why
he judged thusly. Three main points
were considered in the attitude Of
the teams toward each other, toward
the audience, and toward the subject.
He told where each one was defective
and also gave the debaters credit in

was optimistic in talking of the small
Ter rural schools, and complimented
the faculties upon higher training of
the pupils.
Each scheduled school has two teams
which give them an opportunity to
debate both sides of the argument and
in this manner get all there is to be
had on the subject. In the debates
SO far Askov has lost two, the one
Monday night by the affirmative team
and the one Monday afternoon debated
at Cloverton by the negative team.
Hinckley lost to Sandstone Monday
afternoon and won from Askov Mon

debates thus far from Hinckley and
from Pine City.
Askov has yet to debate Pine City

FINLAYSON WOMAN
FALLS TO BASEMENT

Mrs. Henry Stockamp of Fin
layson village, suffered injuries
sufficient to render her uncon-
scious Saturday morning when she
fell from the top of her basement
stairs.
The accident occurred after Mr..
Stockamp had left home to spend
the day with one of his children
and while Mrs. Stockamp was car
ing for some grandchildren who
were spendig the day with her.
1t is thought she may have
tainted thus striking her head
on the stones at the side of the
stairs and tumbling all the way
down to the bottom.
Immediately following their
grandmOther's fall the children
ran to tell Mrs. Harvey Miller, a
next-door neighbor who in turn
summoned the doctor. Among
the victims injuries was scalp
wound which necessitated three
stitches to close Although being
rather weak and suffering much
pain, at the time of this writing
Mrs. Stockamp is able to be
around the house.
