the law that the home loan
bank can, under no circumstances,
loan more than 10 per cent of the
present value of property, and,
under some conditions, not more
than 80 per cent.
These conditions, however, should
not deter those in trouble from
making application to us, for where
we can not make a direct loan we
shall extend ourselves to the limit
to find some building and loan as
sociation. if any in the vicinity of
the applicant, to grant the loan,'

Minimum PAY
ON ROADS TO
Be 40 CENTS
Rate Is Boosted 10 Cents
by Commission Because
of 30-Hour Limit.
UP TO st2 A WEEK
Federal Ruling Makes Wage
Possibility for Workers
No Hiqher.

Minimum wage for state highway
construction work. to be paid for by
federal emergency funds, was raised
from the original proposal of 80
cents an hour to 40 cents, it was
announced today by Ralph Simpson,
assistant state highway director.
Decision to increase the minimum
10 cents an hour was reached by the
state highway commissioners here
Thursday, Simpson said.
Reason for the increase is the fed
eral statute which limits the work
ing time per man to thirty hours
week. This was written into the
emergency federal aid provision as
part of Presidents Hoovers plan
to stagger employment.
Raise Wage to S12 a Week
Under this provision no workman
could earn more than SO a week
which is far from living wage. if
the 30 cent minimum was main
tanned" Simpson pointed out.
Under the 4O-cent minimum
the wage will be but S12 a week.
which surely is little enough.
construction will be done in double
shifts, thous doubling the number
that can earn s12.
The 40 per cent minimum and
double shift already is being used in
Michigan and Ohio. The $4,000 600
worth of construction allotted In
diana through the emergency fed
eral aid will be the first time the
stagger system and the minimum
wage has been applied here.
Ready for Bids Soon
We expect to have the projects
ready to receive bids shortly. The
projects will be of short length so
that work can be completed on
them by July /. This is necessary
to make the federal aid collections
Passage of the Weiss minimum
wage law by the special session of
the legislature caused the minimum
to be written into all construction
contracts.
Under the Weiss law the mini
mum common labor on construction
was to be that paid currently for
similar work for the state in the
maintenance department of the
highways

fdtiOf tMCS-
TN a recent issue of your paper
Il I see that Dr. Morgan is en-
deRvoring to do all in his power to
move the inhabitants of HooVerville
and Curtisville from their humble
abodes.
These people have been forced
to vacate their homes, even their
furniture has been put in storage
and. because of their being out of
employment. that means that it is
lost TO them forever. Also the
shanties of Hoovervllle and Curtis
vile are humiliating to the richer
development of our nation. We
must admit that these people are
courageous in their effort to adapt
themselves to conditions over which
they have no control
I feel sure that people who have
the courage to dare criticism and
condemnation to the extent that
they build these humble abodes have
the courage to vote their own con-
victionS, and not be misled by cor
rupt politicians.
Therefore, I believe that the eff
fort to move these families at this
time is an effort to disfranchise
them, so they can not vote against
the two old parties, for I am sure
that these people would cast their
vote for the peoples candidate,
Ward B. Hiner. as he is the only
gubernatorial candidate who offers
amy plan OF immediate relief.

I have an unpaid balance of about
81 $50 on an original $4,000 loan
made by the Railroadmen's Build
ing and Savings Association, upon
which am paying 6l4 per cent in
terest. l am told that the home

cent. Can I avail myself of this
reduction in interest charges, or
must l continue to pay the 6l2 per
cent interest?
If I must continue to pay 6i2 per

please have Senator Watson explain
where and how the home loan bank
will benefit me.
For several years I have had a
mortgage exemption of only $1,000
on nv taxes. when I owed larger
mortgage than $1,000 and still owe
$3.50 on it. 1t seems to me I am
paying taxes on a value I do not
