President Calls on Industry
To Hire More, Pay More

individuals who believed in their
super-human ability to retain
in their own hands the entire
business and financial control
over the economic and social
structure of the nation"
Mr.. Roosevelt accompanied hi
exposition Of the New Deal with
ringing call for cooperation.
The country, he said, is moving
steadily ahead to better times
and what is now necessary is
whole-hearted, unselfiSh team
work. He called upon the busi-
ness leaders to supply that.
Drawing a parallel, he said:
Zone year ago, we were suffer
ing and shrinking under eco
nomic pressureS so int0lerable
that collapse was at hand.
I'VE had arrived at the day
to make our choice. The
American people responded to
the call for action with eager
Observation-Disclosures in the
struggle against ruthless self
seeking, reckless greed, and eco
nOmic anarchy.
1--WE undertook by lawful con-
StitutiOnal processes to organize
q diSintegrating system Of pro-
duCtiOn and exchange,
mot GOING BACK"
"The methods and details Of
that reorganization may and
will change from year to year,
but it is very certain that the
American people understand
that the purpose Of the reOr-
ganizatiOn was not only to bring
back prosperity.
cit was far deeper than that.
The reorganization must be
permanent for all the rest Of
our lives in that never again
will we permit social conditions
which permitted the vast Sec
tiOns Of our population to exist
in an un- American way which
permitted a maldiStributiOn Of
wealth and of power.
zone thing is very certain,
we are not going back either to
the old conditions or to the
old methods"
Mr.. Roosevelt paid his respects
to critics of the New Deal. These
fall into two classes. he said,
those who merely criticize with
out offering anything in an alter
native way, and those who dis
agree with what is being done but
suggest something constructive in
its place. The former class he
held to be "unpatriotic."
Challenge to Industry
The immediate need, the Presi-
dent asserted, els to get more peo-
pie on payrolls at purchasing
wages"
Describing the NRA as a law
for the public benefit, he said:
II give industry today this
challenge. 1t is the immediate
task Of industry to re-empIOy
more people at purchasing
wages and to do it now.
"Only thus can we continue
recovery and restore the bal
ance we seek.
ut Is worth while keeping
In the front Of our heads the
thought that the people of this
country whose incomes are less
than $4,000 a year buy more
than twO-thirds of all the
goods sold here.
ut is logical that if the total
amount that goes in wages to
this group Of human beings is
steadily increased, merchants,
employers, and investors will In
the long run get more income

DOG TAG SALES
BOOMING

There was almost half a hun
dred Montgomery county resi-
dents who have no idea in the
world Of allowing their dogs to be
seized for operating on dead tags.
This information was disclosed
Saturday in a statement made by
Frank A. Davis, clerk Of the Rock
vile police court, who is handling
the issuance of the new county
dog licenses.
Although residents of the neigh
boring Maryland county have
from January l until April / to
obtain 1884 licenses for their pets,
nearly so of them already have
obtained them.
Davis has estimated that there
are approximately 5000 CANNES
In Montgomery county, and every
one of them must have a tag by
April FOOLS Day or they are liable
to seizure. The tax rate for Ii
cenSeS is 81 for males and So for
females while kennel owners may
obtain special licenses, emitting

More Than Half of Construc-

Side of Town

approximately $4,000 was
spent in building construction
in Takoma Park in the past year.
OF this amount, $107,111 was
spent in new buildings. and $13.-
$40 in miscellaneous repairs.
These figures were reported for
the section Of Takoma Park
located in Maryland.
On the District Of Columbia
side Of the town, about 100000
was spent in building construc-
ton.
Highways Excluded
The figures do not include
highway improvement.
The new Piney Branch Road
underpasS was the largest out
standing construction project in
1893, as the cost Of the entire
project, including widening and
paving the street from Georgia
Avenue to and including the
underpass, was approximately
$500, 900.
The largest single building
construction in the Maryland
section of Takoma Park was the
Citizens Bank Building, costing
about $4,000. It provides room
for three stores and Is offices,
in addition to the bank itself.
Recreation Center
At present attention seems to
be turned to the new Takoma
Park and Manor Park recreation
center, at Third and Whittier
Streets, on which work was be-
gun in earnest about two weeks
ago.
According to all reports the
town Of Takoma Park is on a
sound financial basis, as records
show that they will close the
calendar year with a cash bal
ance on hand Of about $4,000
and no bonded indebtedness.

Uncle Sam should stay out o1

it sets up another State or Fed

ing liquor harder to buy, leaves
the door wide open to bootleg

The Congressman also opposes
the high license fees demanded ir
the Commissioners bill, saying:
"They penalize q man for
wanting to abide by the law.
"It Is unfair to make dealers
dispensing liquor legally compete
with nOnlicense holding bootleg

President Of Continental Can
COMPANY. Inc.


Present prospects for the can
making industry next year are
bright. There is a likelihood
that paintings will be increased
and canning activity stimulated,
conditions which in the past
have usually followed a marked
decline in the supplies of canned
foods in Gamers and distribu-
tors hands.
This condition currently exists,
authoritative estimates putting
these stocks at considerably less
than those of a year ago.
Total stocks of six of the
seven principal canned commodi-
ties in the hands Of representa-
tive Gamers on October i, last,
showed declines ranging from 13
to 81 per cent over similar Stocks
a year earlier, according to fig
ures compiled by the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
Canned peaches was the only
commodity showing an increase,
the supply being IL per cent
larger than that on October /,
1882.
The following are the percent
age declines of the six other
commodities: Peas, 81 per cent;
corn, 30 per cent; tomatoes, 81
per cent; green and wax beans,
13 per cent; pears, % per cent;
pineapple, % per cent.

Of larger crop cannings, the pros
poets are that the use Of non.

It was pointed out to him that
q great amount Of money might
be saved the taxpayers through
such a consolidation. To this he
replied:
"Saving money is not the
only thing. We don't want too

MOVABLES NOT
 ELIGIBLE FOR
 FILA FINANCING
Cash Advanced By Lend- ing Institutions Must Be
 for Real Estate Only

Only equipment that becomes an integral part of the real estate im- provement can be financed with funds borrowed from lending agencies under the provisions Of the National Housing Act, the Fed- eral Housing Administration has ruled.
 Alterations and repairs to the building or home itself are, of course, permanent improvements to the premises. As such. they can be paid for under the F. H. A. credit plan. But detachable equip ment, such as stoves, refrigerators that are not built in, radios, lamps, single unit air conditions, etc, cannot be financed under the act.
 Technically, anything customar- fly picked up and carried away in the furniture moving van when the occupant moves away is described as movable equipment and there fore is not construed as an inl- provement upon the real property. Such movables do not affect the value of the real estate proper.
 The ruling of the F. A. H. on this point states that moderniza- tion loans may be made only flor the purpose of financing altera- tions, repairs, and improvements
