merCe Department in Drive
| Affecting Homes.

Cooperation with the Department OF
Commerce in its recently announced
drive for home modernization in 291 cit
les of the country is pledged by the
United States Building & Loan League
in statement released today from Chi
cago by its executive manager, Morton
Bodfish
The drive is planned by the depart
ment's committee on recOnditioning. re-
modelling and modernization to improve
the homes the country over and at the
same time to relieve unemployment and
to speed up the building materials in
dustry.
The league executive cites figures
gathered from member associations in
various States, showing mounting de-
mand for home loans. specified in many
cases to be largely for remodcling pur-
poses.
Huge Results Expected.
"The committee expects S25 900 900
to be paid for labor and materials by
the end of June as a result of this
campaign" Mr.. Bodfish reported He
said it was expected this sum would be
derived from the comparatively mex
pensive repair jobs, and declared that
many times such sum could be used If
credits were mace available for larger
remodeling operations.
Enactment of the pending measure
which proposes creation Of system OF
Federal home loan banks is necessary
if the most significant possibilities of
the modernization campaign are to be
achieved, officials of the league believe
The home loan bank bill not only
would make available funds for the
home owner for modernization work,
but also for purchase, building and re-
financing of homes, the league states.
The measure is expected to reach the
floor of the House in few days.
Prime Mortgage Loans.
From oregon Is associations report
that they have demand for approx
mately S850,00 in prime mortgage
loans in the next 60 days, and so per
cent of this is estimated to be for re-
pair and remodeling loans." Mr.. Bod
fish reports.
In one building and loan association
in New orleans an unsupplied demand
for $500 600 in home loans, practically
half of which were for undermining, has
had to wait for the past two years.
Two associations in Jackson, Mich,
show home loan demand now totaling
81 000000 An average of four appll-
cations day for repairing and remodel
ing Of property in this city has charac-
terized the demand at one association.
The other association reports an average
of one or two applications each day for
between $500 and 1000 for funds to
improve or modernize homes. This large
demand is in a city with only l per
cent of the States population.
In one Iowa city containing only 2
per cent of the entire States population,
one association reports ST. 200 de-
manded for moderniZation loans by 65
home owners. The total demand for
home loans in this city is $565,100.
"One Kentucky city. Newport, which
has per cent of the States population.
reports a home loan demand Of 100000
In one of its associations and states that
one of the two major purposes of the
loans is for remodeling Of homes
Throughout the country, then, 1t
would seem that great desire for home
maintenance is characteristic of prop
erty owners"

WHO PAYS FOR FIREl

You, the reader of this article, are
now paying for a fire!
This is a somewhat startling
statement, inasmuch as the major
ity of readers have not sustained
fires on their own property. Never
theless, they are paying fOr one -
whether it be the conflagration that
destroyed a great factory, or the lit
tie blaze that burned jim Jones
cottage.
Every fire means a loss to the
community and to every member
of. the community. Fire insurance
premiums ON all property pay ;il
insured fire losses, and premium
cost rises or falls in proportion to
fire losses. In addition, we pay for
all fire losses, in higher taxes caus-
ed by the destruction of taxable
property, by loss OF business, un-
employment and in siuilar ways.
This fire bill we are paying comes
to about half-a-billion dollars a
year in direct loss. The indirect
loss is said to be seyera! times as
much.
Every time we lead oi fire, we
should realize that it is going to
cost us something. individually. 1t
won't be much--but a LOT of fires
makes an impressive total. Perhaps
this thought may make us recognize

COURT PROCEDURE

The picture of one cause for lack
of confidence in our courts and
judges which has taken hold of pub
lie opinion, is told in the following
verse in the New York Times:
Our lawyers, doing what they can
To speed the Laws majestic pace,
Will take three hours to pick one
Who's fit to try, a murder case.
They will not trust an oath at all;
Though jurors take a solemn VOW
OF justice though the heavens fall,
They can't believe them, anyhow.
A dozen workers may not try
A thug with cauliaower ears;
His fate should be decided by
A jury wholly of his peers.
A lawyer must not spare expense
And time in urging case and
clause
To keep out weighty evidence
Obnoxious to his clients cause.
A judge must rarely find it right
To curb a lawyers overzeal,
For if he did, poor wretch, he might
Incur reversal on appeal.
Our judges all are good and great,
Our rules of law are wise and
good, 5
And quasi-justice costs the State
Some ten times more than Justice
should.
