SMALL GARAGES BECOME
TENDENCY IN AMERICA
Storage Beneath Apartment Houses
Subject of Agitation in
New York.

More and smaller garages, instead of
huge ones widely separated, will be the
tendency in American cities, according
to experts writing in the American
Architect Magazine.
Already agitation is afoot in New
York to permit the building of garages
beneath large apartment houses. Ben
jamin F. Belts, editor of the magazine,
points out, observing that the car
owner who must walk several blocks to
and from his garage is losing as much
time as he did in the days Of slower
transportation.
N. H. Owens, speaking for the Ma
tional Association of Building Owners
and Managers, advocates one square
foot Of parking space for every four
feet of Office space in the modern Of
flee building.
Years ago." he points out, eve used
to drive UP to store and tie our horse
to a post in front. That was real con-
venience. The food Of automobiles
made that an impossibility, and in our
haste to do something about 1t we pro-
vided large garages, which are not con-
venient because Of the time 1t takes
to park the car and then walk three
or four blocks to our destination"

owners Of Baltimore and invite them
to join us in this new and extensive
plan to secure fair consideration of real
estate in all matters of taxation.
All members will automatically be-
come members of the recently organized
property owners division of the ma
tional association, which has q mem
bership of more than 10000 realtors.
IF there ever was a time when real
estate owners Of Baltimore needed a
strong organization to protect their in
terest, 1t is right now.''

HIGHER THAN CHRYSLER
Honor of Being Worlds Tallest
Structure Rapidly Changing
Hands in New York.

Because of the race in the erection
of skyscrapers in New York City, the
worlds highest building honor rapidly
is changing hands.
The Chrysler Building, rising 1,046
feet above the city's streets, will retire
from the honor place shortly, when the
Empire State Building, now pushing
its way to a goal Of 1,248 feet on the
midtown site of the famous old Wal
dorf-Astoria Hotel, will assume the dis
tinction of being the tallest edif1ce of
any classification in the world The
Chrysler Building will take second place
honors after grazing the Gotham City
skyline at its highest point for the
period of one year.
The Empire State Building is ex-
pected to be completed by the first OF

GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS

Il have never believed that our
form of government could salts
factorily solve economic problems
by direct action could success
fully conduct business institu
tions. The government can and
must cure abuses.
What the government can do
best is to encourage and assist in
the creation and development of
institutions controlled by our cit
liens and evolved by themselves
from their own needs and their
experience and directed in a sense
of trusteeship of pubic interest. I"
These statements were made
in an address delivered a few
weeks ago by President Hoover
and the great majority of the
American people, regardless of
their political faith, are in agree
ment with them Our govern
ment was founded on the princi-
pie that the government ought
not to try to do for the people the
things which they can best do for
themselves. We prospered and
grew into a great nation by the
application of these principles.
And yet, despite the fact that
they are still held by the great
majority of the American people,
there is a constant agitation on
the part Of well organized mi
nority to make the people wards
of the government, by constantly
increasing the power and author
ity of the federal government
over business, with The evident
aim of building up a paternalistic
government in the United States.
The paternalistic idea of gov
eminent is of course, the father
and son" idea, with the state
serving as the proyident father
and the individual citizen as the
trusting child. If this sort of
government is effective at all it
can only be effective where the
government is an autocracy. Just
as the parent is the dictator of
the family policies, so long as the
children are unable to take care
of themselves, SO the government
must have dictatorial power.
But the United States we
have had, since the founding OF
the republic representative gov
eminent in which the people rule
and have the final say. In this
form of government The pattern
alistic idea has no part. The best
government so far as the eco
nomic life of the people is con-
cernsd, is that which permits the
people TO work out their own do
nestle problems in line with the
idea quoted from the President
in the quotation above Republi-
can Bulletin.
