CHICAGO, September 15-The little
white house with the roses around 1t
will be harder to finance in the future,
a committee has advised the United
States Building & Loan League
Associations which have put up the
money for thousands of American
homes, were told to stiffen their re-
quirements
BY the standard suggested, family
IS not ready to own its own home until
1t can pay 35 per cent in cash. This
down payment could be waived, the
committee thought, if the family in
come will allow paying $50 per cent Of
the monthly rental value.
And no family, the committee warned,
should be encouraged to buy a home
which is going to take more than 80
per cent of the family's income in
meeting the payments
No one should be encouraged to
build. the committee said, who can't
afford the house even in hard times.
On the problem of foreclosure, the
committee recommended leniency which
can be given with financial safety; and
It recommended that the loan COM
panies reduce the price of their services
to the home owners 1t suggested that
the Home Owners Loan Corporation,
the relief agency for householders
burdeped with mortgages, confine its
operations when good tines arrive to
financing bad risks"-homeS for the

ROUND TABLES WORK
OUTLINED BY FRASER
Helpful Service Embraces Every
Race and Greed, Head of Local
Club Says in Address.

Since its organization as a service
club in 1922, the Round Table has
undertaken to render helpful service
to others regardless of race or creed
and in Washington it has been an en-
thusiastic supporter OF the Community
Chest. George B. Fraser, president of
the local club. said last night in radio
address sponsored by the Chest.
The Washington club. said Fraser
has endeavored to support every enter
prise for the benefit of the community,
adding:
Indeed. We regard the Community
Chest as sort of Round Table itself,
for just as the Round Table includes
all kinds of people and is dedicated to
a creed of human service, 50 also does
the Community Chest include organiza-
tionS made up of people of all races
and creeds, serving people of all races
and creeds in all kinds of need, pro-
noting the work for the welfare of the
whole community"
Fraser was introduced by Elwood
Street, Community Chest director. who
called him a "dyed-in- the wool Wash
ingtonian" whose philanthropic inter-
ests are shown by the fact he is a
trustee and secretary of the Baptist
Home for Old Ladies and is chairman
of the Scout Committee of Boy Scout
Troop No. 81. in which his two sons.
the fourth generation Of a native
Washington family. are members.

DR.. Bredeck predicted the epidemic

The epidemic began to subside in the

Bredeck said, because he wanted to be

of it had passed. He warned against

A GOOD SHOWING

Despite all the warnings to the
effect that people are being driven
to herd in apartment houses 76
per cent of all families in the
country live in one-family houses.
Nor is it true, as 80 often alleged,
that it is increasingly difficult to
own a home. Actually, home own
ers have increased since 1910. The
1880 census report shows that 46.s
per cent of families own their own
homes as against AS per cent in
1910.
Even in the cities, where there
are so many apartment houses 6
per cent live in single houses while.
in the country it is 94.4 per cent.
These figures show that we are,
at least, not dropping backward
in home ownership. This is all the
more reason for helping people to
retain their home ownership in
these times.

NEEDED LEGISLATION

The Editor:
There have been several good
bills introduced and l am confident
that if these measures shall BE
passed the people Of the State will
feel greatly relieved. Among
them is the license law, which
would prohibit children and care
less, incompetent persons from OPP
Grating a motor vehicle on the
public highways. Surely this will
lessen accidents and deaths. Cheap
er license plates should be had, and
in fact, the State ought to fur
nish plates at a fair profit and
spend the money more economi-
cally. It's we'll to have good roads,
we must have them, but our State
has wasted money, and is doing SO
now foA the building and upkeep
of the State roads. If many of
the PA bosses would go to work
as they should, they could ac-
complish more. A few days ago
l noticed three highway employees
and one of them was a boss, SO we
could easily decide it was costing
too much to work two men.
The hitchhiker has become a
nuisance on the highways. Their
are 50 many you car hardly travel
without running over some OF
them, and motorists have had so
many crimes committed on them,
by taking up criminals that it is
difficult now for a worthy person
to get a life. If this measure be-
comes a law, it will be a blessing
to the travelling public.

nine cents a bushel. As at that
time the price on the farm was
only p cents a bushel, this means
an advance of 40 per cent. There
is a create deal of wheat left on the
farms so that the farmes, and not
the spectators and middlemen, are
getting the benefit of this higher
price.
This rise in the price of wheat,
coming in a natural way, may be
a good thing for the whole country
as we'll as the farmer. Wheat is a
great barometer for all commodity
prices and a higher general level
would aid considerably in recovery
of all business activity.

WITHOUT RAILROAD
PROSPERTY-WHAT?

An article in Railway Age on
Railway Purchases-A Vital For
ce in Business Recovery" brings
out wildly the influence Of tn
transport problem on the lives of
all workers, all farmers, all pro
ducers.
In the five years previous to
1880, railway purchases averaged
over two billion dollars a year. In
the past three years reductions in
these purchases have amounted te
almost $4,000 900.
This decline is greater than al
the loans and appropriations madt
by the federal government for pub
lie works and relief.
1t has brought distress to a null.
titude of communities, has effect.
ed every state in the Union, ane
has thrown hundreds of thousand
of workers, in a large number @:
industries, out of employment.
The iron and steel industries, tn
lumber and copper industries, tn
oil and coal and %electrict suppl,
business, in the past, have counte'
on the railroads for a heavy per
centage of their sales.
Restoration of railway purchas
ing power is indispensable to bust
ness recovery. No one can doub
that stimulated rail activity woul
be one of the greatest blows W
could strike against unemployment
against low general purchasin
power, against depression.

COMMENTS
POOLING OF Auto
TAXES

To The Editor:
There seems to be a sentiment
in the State to allow the gasoline
and motor license tax to be pooled
with other State revenue and the
road maintenance to be provided
from the general fund. Even a
puerile mind can easily disbern
chaos in a change from our pre-
sent system. Almost every fam
lily has a car and almost every
farmer and delivery firm has a
truck. This fact alone discloses
the vital importance of proper
road maintenance and whether or
not schools should be of first con-
sideration consolidated schools
have to have roads) the truth re-
mains that roads are a big factor
in our social and economic life. Al
present revenue for road mainten-
ance is derived from only one
source source that did not ex-
ist 20 years ago and a source that
comes only from and directly be-
nefts the users of roads. Nothing
could be fairer.

a minimum expense and under thu

most 100 per cent of the money

MAKE 1888 A SAFE YEAR

A publication of the Nationa
Safety Council carries an excellent
New Year wish: "Three hundred
and sixty-fve safe and happy day,
to you for 1888"
If that wish. could bear fruit, i;
would be a magnificent thing fo1
the country. 1t would save
thousands of lives which would
otherwise be needlessly destroyed
it would keep for useful purposes
the billion or so dollars that IS
wasted annually through accidents
it would make for happier and
better working conditions, and
more efficient industries. Nothing
is so destructive to the moral of
the worker as a series of serious &C
,cidents in his plant.
The safety movement has been
making good progress for a long
time. There has been a general de-
crease in the number and severity
of accidents-aside from those
caused by automobiles.
The careless, reckless and irres-
ponsible driver kills about $4,000
people a year nowadays.
We can make 1888 the greatest
safety year in our time. We can
do it by giving the little effort,
the little thought, the little care,
that is needed to make our homes,
our places of business and the pub
lie highways safer. We can do it
by giving consideration to the
rights of the other fellow. As in
dividuals, we have the power to
"a thousands of irreplaceable
lives this year-Let's do it!

A NEW TAX LEVY

Senator Clement, of Rowan. Of
fers a bill imposing a tax of one
half of one per cent on the gross
production or business Of nuner-
Gus enterprises. The tax isn't to

all producers except farmers and
business with an annual prod ction
of less than $1,000 annually. Also
it applies To-
All banks save those with no

companies whether they sell pro-

or what not; all railroads and

whether they make rayon undies,

butors of many sorts, including

handle moving picture film; all

The probable amount of revenue
from this source is indefinite as
