CEMETERIES To
BE MADE MORE
BEAUTIFUL

Cemetery monuments must be
artistically designed and intelli-
gently placed. or public taste will
cause them to be discarded alto
gether, according to Horace w.
Peaslee, director of the American
Institute Of Architects and con-
sulting architect for the Fort Lin.
coin Cemetery here and the Win
tergreen George Cemetery, Erie,
Pa. Cities of the living are
planned by experts, built by
architects and adorned by artists,
says Mr.. Peaslee, while "citieS
Of the dead" are left to the hap
hazard direction of commercial
interests. In a statement, he de-
clareS:
BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL
"It is my belief that instead
Of being a disOrderly, depresS-
ing place, a cemetery can be
made beautiful and peaceful
not by the elimination Of mOnu-
mentS, but by Skillful design
and placement. I have advO-
Gated the application to the
cemeterial problem Of the same
principles which have produced
results in civic and residential
work.
81 propose cooperative
effort all along the line; Co
operation of architect and land
Scape architect with cemetery
authorities in preliminary gen.
eral planning and in detailed
execution, and with monument
dealers in the design and set
ting of monuments, with the
services Of stone cutters and
gardeners devoted to the finest
possible stone cutting and to
the production of beautiful lawns
and splendid plant material.
There is crisis pending,
and it should be met now. The
public taste is changing. It
is remOdeling its 1870 houses,
junking the fret work, amputat-
ing the bay window, throwing
away the haircIOth upholstery;
next to follow will be, in
evitably, cemetery monuments
with the fancifuI designs de-
velOped during our dark ages
from jigSaw prototypes for
brOwnStOne fronts.
FACE ELIMINATION
"FOr the home, the value Of
the services of architect, land
Scape architect and sculptor is
recognized; the same standards
are most certainly to be applied
to monuments, or they will be
eliminated altogether. Perhaps
the monument dealer is really
not to blame, except that in
catering to public demand he
has not recognized the signs
Of the times. The chances are
that the shift will be to the
nOn-mOnument cemetery for q
generation or two"
Every private cemetery should
require that each monument be
approved by consulting archi.
tect appointed by cemetery au.
thorities, Mr.. Peaslee maintains.

Two States Adopt New Tax
Limitation By Ballot

Results of November balloting
on important tax proposals, as
collated by the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards show
that two States, Michigan and
Washington, adopted tax limita-
tionS provisions. The Washing
ton provision, the more drastic,
was balanced by adoption of
State income tax to make up
expected lower revenue from
general property tax.
The Michigan provision (con-
stitutional amendment): Total
amount Of taxes assessed against
property for all purposes in any
one year shall not exceed ~ per
cent of the assessed valuation.
Exception: Taxes levied for pay
ment of interest and principal on
obligations heretofore incurred,
which sums shall be separately
assessed. Provision for increase:
BY two-thirds vote of electors of
any assessing district or when

LOAN GROUP To
AID IN HOME
OWNERSHIP

Economic planning to place in
their own homes many of the
30 per cent Of urban families
who pay from $40 to $50 month
for rent, is asked for by the
home-building and homecoming
committee of the United States
Building and Loan League.
The program should be formu-
lated by the building and loan as
sociations which finance the
home-owners enterprises, by the
present real estate owners who
wish to sell, and by the building
contractors, it is pointed out.
The establishment of these fami-
lies on a home-ownership basis
would be a sure cornerstone in
the building of a new economic
era, the league holds.
PROGRAM OUTLINED
Philip Lieber, Shreveport, La,
chairman Of the League Commit
tee. suggests that the program
should include three main points:
Study Of the existing homes,
with an eye to construction of
lOwer-cOst homes at present
bargain prices, where they are
needed. The committee finds
that even in some of the Iarg-
est cities absorption of low
cost homes has continued
throughout the depression.
Educational methods directed
at present day renters to show
the value of owning their own
homes, and the possibility of
doing SO at a reasonable cost.
MOdernizatiOn expenditures
by owners of rented houses,
with q view to selling these
properties to the lOw-incOme
family which cannot buy even
SO inexpensive a home as
thOse~ which can be built new
today. This activity would i'm
prove not only the appearance
Of cities, but the tenor Of the
residential real estate market
which suffers from the exiS-
tence of depreciating property,
it is pointed out.
WHAT CENSUS SHOWS
Mr.. Leeber continued:
Census figures on the value
OF homes now Owner-Occupied
show that it Is largely the
well-tO-dO who own their dwell
ings. OF the total Owner-Occu-
pied homes, ass per cent are
valued higher than $4,000. An
other 22.S per cent of the
Owner-OCcupantS have homes
worth between $4,000 and
$4,000 . year. The consensus
Of opinion among building and
loan executives is that man
should not pay more than
twice his annual income for his
home. And the average in
come Of an American gainful
worker in 1880 was only $1,452.
This means that hOme-Owner-
ship in this country can scarce
ly make any headway unless
provision is made for families
to acquire homes worth less
than $4,000 a year. Only 21.6
per cent of the Owner-Occupants
live In houses Of this price
range.

Your
Home e
Stay at Home
Enjoy Real Pleasure
Build a Heritage
E. X. ALLEN
Rea, Estate Editor

More families will spend the
holidays in the home this year
than ever before, and the night
clubs, dance halls and road
houses will not be able to hang
out the s. r. o. sign.
One Of the lessons taught by
the present economic days of
stress is that, after all, the
home is a wonderful place in
which to spend the evenings.
The stringent times have at
last made it fashionable to
stay at home.
And, instead of using the
home merely as a place in
which to dress for going out
70 the country club, the movie
palace, the road house or the
night club, it is now being used
as a place Of entertainment
Tor the entire family.
More furniture, games, criSS-
cross puzzles and radios are
being sold than ever before.
More families are of neces-
sity staying at home and en-
joying the society of the other
members of the family, instead
of gadding about with friends
and strangers.
And they are learning to en-
JOY it and to more thoroughly
appreciate these evenings at
home and the society of those
who are near to them.
This state of affairs is bound
to improve the habits and
morals of the youngsters of to-
day and to hasten the return
Of that greatest of institutions,
the old-fashioned American
home upon which was builded
this great Republic of ours.
Therein lies the hope of this
mighty nation!
We need men and women
whose dearest dream is to own
@ home, to stay in that home
and take pride in it and the
community of which it is a part;
to take an interest in local poll
tics, in national politics and
all Of the ideals from which
spring the solid welfare and in
creasing advancement Of this
nation.
OWN YOUR HOME!
Enjoy the peace and content
ment which comes from the old
fashioned ideals of home owner
ship.
Give the children a heritage
Of associations an d memories
which will cling to them as
long as they live.
Provide a background for
more interest in your country,
your city, your community and
the politics and laws which
make for their betterment.
There was never a better
time than the present!
Prices are down to rock bot
tom!
Easiest terms are being made!
Drive out today or tomorrow
and find out for yourself just
how easy it is to purchase a
home at the present time, and
learn what wonderfully COM
plete homes are being built and
placed on sale in the many
different residential sections of
the city. You are bound to en-
Joy the experience.

u. S. FEARS EASED
| ON STEEL COMBINE
Ottawa Pact Not Linked With
Big Producers, 1t Is
Indicated.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, July 25. - Unofficial fig-
ureS revealed at the American legation
here showed that the reported British
Canadian steel manufacturers agree
ment involved no so-called big pro-
ducers."
Dispatches to the Toronto Mail today
said United States Steel experts feared
100000 worth Of American business
would be diverted to the United King
dom under the agreement which was
reached early in the week. Its condi-
tons were not made public.
1t was understood unoffcially that
the only steel negotiations so far in
volved scheme to influence Canadian
use Of British steel standards in con-
Struction.
This necessarily would mean eventual
demand for British patterns.
As expressed so far, no doubt ap-
parently exists In the minds Of dele
gates here that some steel deal will be
made during the imperial conference
to the probable disadvantage of Ameri-
can producers.
How much of their loss would be made
up by American branch plants in Can
ada and how much by British concerns
would still have to be determined.
Great Britain is seeking a Canadian
market for her automobiles, but avail
able statistics offer little hope Of sue
cess for this project.
Last year Canadian plants assem-
| bled 10000 cars from American-made
parts, and this country imported 5000
automobiles from the United States
over tariff Of 20 per cent ad valorem
on cars selling under $1,000 in the
United States and 40 per cent on the
more expensive makes
Observers advanced the argument
that because of ocean freight costs,
BrltiSh-made automobiles would cost
more in the Canadian market than
American, even If the British cars were
| entered duty free.
The main competition for British cars,
however, will be the Canadian manu-
facturer, who in assembling American
made parts has the advantage of ex-
pensive automotive research and i'm
| provements.
The question must await further
Canadian proposals to the conference.
1t Is significant, however, that Cana
dian tariff on American manufactures
had enticed $500,000,000 in American
investments to this side OF the interna-
tional line by the end of 1880. More
than 100 major American branch plants
have been established here in the last
two years.
