TAX ON GOATS

Tom and his wife had always
had a goat. Even after the village
became a suburb of the town, that
goat would frclic around the
street. In a playful set-to with pc
destrians he always left them in a
heap on the. sidewalk, and the goat
became very unpopular. One day
the tax collector presented Tom
with a tax bill for So on the goat.
Great CONSERVATION ensued, the
owner insisting that even the tax
collector must know. that the goat
was not worn So (as prices were
then).
81 have my authority right here"
insisted the collector, reading from
his Instructions: Charge 81 a foot
for anything abutting on the side

to come up to Harold June
idate with this series right now.
! Two great events occurred here
son December 20 and %. Admiral
byrd made a magnificent four-hour
flight of discovery over the ice of
Ross Sea in the big Condor plane.
And Klondyke had a calf! Some
excitement!
: First, I'll tell you about the AID.
;miral's great flight on the 22nd.
He had been dreaming this flight
for years. Already our great steel
jship had gone further south into
1.-THE ice than any ship in history.
Commodore Gjertsen advised re-
treating to open water. Admiral
Byrd had seen a big open bay in
1.-THE closely packed ice and we cir
icled around to its entrance. Then
ihe notified Harold June. chief pilot,
William Bowlin, relief pilot. j. A.
(Pelter, mapper, and Carl O. Peter
tsen, radio man, to get ready. In-the
tmost beautiful and fantastic scene
lever dreamed of, the huge 6-ton Cur
itiss-Wright Condor plane was hoist
led out on the big boom and dropped
tgently into the calm water and then
tthe 46-foot Matthews motor boat
cruiser was put over and took the
plane in tow.
Under Commander Neville, execu-
tive officer, great red drums of
.nTydol gasoline were rolled up on
deck and 400 gallons put into the
plane by hand. Then the cruiser
flowed the plane out into the ice
lined bay and cast off. This was
1920 a. m. Up and down the bay
June ran the flying ship, warming
the engines. Then. like a magnifi-
cent sea bird. she took the air and
Icircled for almost an hour over the
lRupper, while compasses. radio
land other equipment~were checked
land tested. At 11:40. the Admiral
,~signalled we are heading SOUTH"
land off they went, at 1900 feet. 1t
took only fifteen minutes for the
Condor to disappear in the distance.
At 2:55 she was over the ship

liant exploration flights ever made

In the near future.
The Admiral saw no land. but he
saw miles of open water behind ar
ice pack not nearly as big or tough
as it was supposed to be. So with
new flights for guidance. it may be
that we shall get u big steel ship
further south safely than was
dreamed possible. 1t is now Decem-
Der rs and we have drifted around
for days in a thick fog.
And maybe this whole ship load
wasn't excited about Klondyke last
week ION the 20th). We had sud-
denly plunged into an ocean Of ice
bergs. The first l had ever seen.
Never will l forget it. We passed
more than a thousand in sixteen
hours-like huge ships or glistening
apartment buildings. In the water
between there were thousands of
shiny white broken pieces of bergs.
Admiral Byrd and Commodore
Gjertsen told me they had never
seen so many at one time in all
their trips. The Admiral said, "Only
an .undulating and extensive barrier
coast could produce bergs in such
large numbers. Somewhere here
abouts is a barrier which may be
considerably larger than the great
Ross ice barrier fronting on the
Ross Sea. If that's the case- and
we're lucky enough to find it, the
eastward search for the coast of
the Antarctic continent may be
ended"
But at ten o'clock in the morning
our thoughts were taken violently
off of icebergs and everything else
except Klondyke. At that hour she
increased the population of the
Byrd Expedition to the extent of
one full-blooded Guernsey bull-calf-

Mutual mortgages obtained
for the purpose Of refinancing ex-
listing indebtedness on homes or
financing construction of homes,
will not be issued by the Federal
Housing Administration but will
be insured by it.
Private financial institutions
like banks and building and loan
associations will grant the new
trusts, and will be guaranteed
against loss by the housing
agency.
The cost of this insurance will
be borne by the mortgagor-the
person on whose property the
mortgage is placed. According
to the national housing act, the
charge cannot be less than one
half of one per cent, or more
than one per cent, annually on
the full face value of the mort
gage.
To Be Paid In Advance
Assuming that the mortgage is
for $1,000, the annual insurance
charge, paid annually in advance,
would be between S. and $40.
The mortgages will be classified
in several divisions, depending
upon their maturity, amount and
credit risk. A separate insurance
fund, in effect, will be set up for
each division.
Surplus Goes to Borrower
If the amount collected in the
insurance fund in any one divi-
sion is more than enough to take
care of the Housing AdminiStra-
tons liabilities on defaults in that
particular division, the extra
money will be turned back to the
mortgagors.
Thus, a mortgage of $1,000
maturing in Is years may be
paid up in IA years, if the insur-
ance fund for its particular divi-
sion gathers a sufficient amount
Of money to meet all obligations
and leave some money over and
above the obligations, because the
remaining balance would be dis
tributed among the mortgagors
in that particular class, enabling
them to pay off their trusts be-
fore the maturity date.
This article completes the re-
capitulation of information on
the mutual mortgage plan" At
tention in the next few articles
will be drawn to the "moderniza-
ton" drive.

the "m0derniZatiOn" drive as it
