PLAN BELTSV|LLE
RESETTLEMENT
U. S. Project Expected to
Pros.le LoW-Cost Hous-
ing for 1000 Families.

A 2,000-family suburban reSettle-
ment" community at Beltsville, Md, is
being blue-printed today by the Rural
Resettlement Administration of Rex
ford Guy Tugwell.
Basis for the plans is to give low
cost housing to the families of the $40
workers, ranging from scientists to
laborers, now connected with the
Beltsville Experimental Farm of the
Department of Agriculture.
The community project would go
hand in hand with further develop
ment of the farm into perhaps the
largest field laboratory of its type in
the world, to provide jobs for many
more persons.
$50 Transferred to Farm.
At present, contracts for conStruc-
ton amounting to S260.O00 are being
fulfilled with P. w. A. grants and
within the last two weeks. transfers
of two department subdivisions put
$50 more men on the farm. These
two groups are the Bureau of Ento-
mological and Plant Quarantine and
the Division of Animal Disease Re-
search.
Little could be learned from Tug
wells office concerning the plans be-
yond the fact they are still "nebulouS. +"
The survey must be approved, first by
the Works Progress Administration,
under Harry Hopkins, and then by
the President, before funds for the
work can be obtained.
Similar surveys for establishment of
suburban community homesteads are
being conducted for IL other cities
throughout the country. The small
est number of families any single sur
vey contemplates housing is 1000, for,
1t is pointed out, expenditures of work
relief money for fewer than these
families would be practically useless
and wasted
Would Relieve Overcrowding.
The theory behind the suburban
reSettlement plan Is to relieve over
crowded conditions in urban areas by
moving large groups of unemployed
to points within 80 miles of the city.
where they are to be established in
self-dependent communities.
In most of the centers communal
industries will have to be provided,
but at Beltsville. with its $500 acres,
the industry already exists in the
agriculture experimental work, which
is constantly being expanded.
The housing provided for the fami-
lies would be varied-apartment build
ings. two-family and three family
dwellings and individual homes.
They would be constructed at the
original expense of the Rural Reset
tlement Administration and paid for
by the occupants on a low finance
basis over period of 20 years or
even more.
Stores and Power Plants.
Within the community, as the gen.
eral theory has been worked out by
Tugwell's aides. there would be CEN
trail stores, power plants and other
communal activities necessary to re-
Geve the development from any de-
pendence on outside contacts and also
to provide as many jobs as possible
within the community.
The administration Is confident
there is enough acreage vacant at
the Peltsville farm to provide for
all the families that would be cared
for. Any speculative increase in land
prices about the areas under contem-
plation, If other land had to be
bought, might result in complete aban-
donment Of the idea, for, it is pointed
out by Tugwell spokesman, iow-cost
housing and high-Driced land do not
mix.

 In Ketchikan

While the local housing committee still pushes the preparatory work on the Ketchikan housing campaign, it was learned by a representative of the Fishing News that loans have already been made by the First Ma tional Bank of Ketchikan Work was started by Bert Libe on the Jack Talbot residence, and this is the first loan on which work is al- ready under way.
 John Koel, president of the First National Bank, in speaking about the housing loan program, said: T feel that this is the biggest thing for the benefit of Ketchikan that has ever been offered"
 In outlining the procedure neces- sary to obtain loans MT Koel gave the following:
 1. A modernization loan is solely for the purpose of repairing, alter ing, or improving your home or other buildings. Diversion of the money to other purpose is prohibit ed.
 9 The loan cannot be for less than $100 or more than $2,000. The borrowerer must have regular source of income equal to at least five times the annual payments.
 3. The loan can be made for terms of l to years-at the discretion of the financial institution.
 A. Maximum charges, including interest and all fees, cannot exceed an amount equivalent to $5 discount per $100 of 1-year, monthly note.
 5. The property owner must file a property owners credit statement showing his financial condition, sources and amount of income, and other information necessary to de- termine his ability to repay the loan.

'Kingfish' Amuses
 British Public

LONDON-British public opinion is observing with considerable in- terest and amusement the political reforms of Senator Huey P Long of Louisiana.
 The "Kingfish" is one of the best known among American politicians here, where news of his activities always is lengthily reported.
 General concensus seems to be that despite his buffoonery Long is an astute demogogue," as the News Chronicle wrote when the intention of the "Kingfsh" to stand as Pres idential candidate in 1886 recently was reported.
 Although other metropolitan news papers refrained from commenting on the news of his absolute dicta- torship" in Louisiana through the speedy passing of A bills, the lib-

 Senator Huey P. Long, dictator, or skingfsh'-in his own term-of the State of Louisiana, is a demo- gogue with sense of humor," it wrote He knows and uses all the tricks of the American Lolitical boss withoutSfear or scruple. No one can tell just how far he is a mere self-seeking politician, how far he really-abelieves in his crude remedy for the present discontents.
 Tn State where people take life easily he is whirl of energy. Tn a country where public speaking tends to be pompous and funereal he is vigorous and racy speaker. He has no dignity to lose. Longs measures might be challenged in the Supreme Court, on the ground that they are against the constitu- tion; but then there is nothing to suggest that they are. Senator Longs Presidential aspirations are not yet taken seriously. But ten years ago no one ever thought to see him rule even Louisiana"

YELL LEADERS

One of the conspicuous figures ol
modern school life is the yell leader
Il is his noble function to organize
the cheering of the rOOters for the
home ball or football team. Accord
ing to athletic psychology. it is that
cheering that urges ON the boys to
do or die, and is a powerful factor
in victory.
So the yell leader. his costume
glOrified by his resplendent white
pants, bears the responsibility Of
extracting a mighty torrent of sound
from the throats of his roofing stu
dents. 1t is a great art to be able
to draw enthusiasm out of other peo-
pie. The athletic managers know
they can't win games without exhi-
billions of enthusiasm. but that truth
is not always realized when it comes
to the competitions of town prog

TAXES IN WARTIME

well make up their minds. that il

again. they will pay taxes such as
they never paid before The idea
of piling up heavy debts in war
time is no longer popular Instead
it is proposed to pay the costs of a
war while the war is going on. I'm
der the bill before Congress. there
would be practically no incomes in
the country during wartime of over
$4,000. The government would
take the rest. or most of it.
And the people of less than $4,000
incomes will pay and pay heavily in
wartime. Folks who think they can
fight war, and then pass on the
payment for it to the next genera
ton. will have another guess. if they
ever get us to fighting again.

THE SIMPLE LIFE ERA

Back in the days Of President
Theodore Roosevelt. much was said
about simple living. Charles Wag-
ner, a French clergyman and essay
ist. published a book entitled THE
Simple Life" which had a great
vogue, and many people were cheer
ed by his calm philosophy. 1t was
argued that life had become far too
complicated.
The response to such appeals was
not too enthusiastic. Folks who
were naturally simple were encOur-
aged to keep on finding joy in COM
mon things like nature study. gar
dening. walking, and literature.
They always had liked the fireside
joys. But the majority of people
kept on demanding more and more
things to satisfy their excited de-
sires.
As modern inventions were de-
velOped and turned the world up
side down. life kept on growing more
complex. 1t became necessary to
earn more and more money in or
der to have these things. People
felt they must have luxuries they
did not particularly care for, just
because their neighbOrs had them.
There is nothing that does so much
t1 promote the simple life. and turn
peoples thoughts to the most abid-
ing sources OF satisfaction. as a pc
riOd Of so-called depression. The

are quoted higher than ever. They |
rise far above par. though your
stocks may be dragging ON the bot

So countless people who used to
have to bust up a $40 bill in order
TO have an evenings fun, have dis
covered that they could have a very
nice time before the freside with

HIGH ACHIEVEMENT

Some people imagine that to ac-
complish anything remarkable, they
must go far from home, usually to
some great city. But experience
proves that high achievement can be
had in many lines in any location.
Musical societies, for instance, like
choruses, bands, and Orchestras, or
ganized in small cities and country
towns, have often reached a high
stage of perfection, because the peo-
pie in those communities were not
distracted by so many side issues.
They could devote a great deal Of
attention to such interests.
So it is in many activities. Count
less people have developed great
business concerns out Of a little
shop in some small city. Innnmer-
able women have attained some
form of ren0wn as the result Of
some home town activity. Achieve
ment can take place anywhere.

INTELLIGENT LAWMAKERS

Zions Herald, famous Methodist
weekly, suggests that national and
state legislators should take intel
ligence tests. to determine whether
they possess the needed qualifica-
tions. 1t would have them examined
in such subjects as correct man
ners. English composition, history,
constitutional and international law,
philosophy, psychology, economic
theories. etc.
Legislators who had passed such
tests would avoid many mistakes.
Yet the number of people who could
pass such tests is very limited. There
are many able business and profess
sional people. farmers. and me-
chanics, who could never pass such
examinations. yet have common
sense and practical judgment, and
make excellent legislators.
There are millions of people who
vote at elections who give very little
attention to the question whether
candidates are intelligent or not.
They vote for the candidate who
promises to do the most for them
personally. All elements and sec
tiOns reach into the grabbag for
whatever they can get out of il for
themselves.
No formal intelligence test is
likely ever TO be imposed on legis-
latOrs, but candidates should DEM
onstrate whether they are intelli-
gent or not. Those who depend only
OH bright smiles, cordial handshakes.
and impossible promises. should be
asked what they know about busl-
ness, taxes, tariffs. and currency.
The candidate is not expected to
have the learning of a college pro-
fessOr. but he should be capable of
looking at these things in a common
sense way. A man could not expect
to get job as manager of busi-
ness. unless he knows something
about that particular trade. A can
didate should show that he knows
about government before
he attempts to run these vast enter
prises.

THE LAWN AND THE RAKE

The relation of your rake TO your
lawn is about the same as that of
good comb to your young son.
Junior hates TO have his hair combed.
He is apt TO yell good and loud while

But once done. he appears IAe a
human being. instead of like a hairy
inhabitant of the jungle. The neigh
bors will say he is good boy, and
invite him in to have some dough-
nuts.
So with the lawn. It does not ac-
lively resist eOmbing with the rake.
but its dead grass and collected lit
ter hang back enough SO it takes
quite a little effort to give It a good
cOmbing. But it always looks bet

stuff out of the way. The new grass
gets chance to grow. and the home
place can hold up its head in the
world and feel il is entitled to an
honorable place in every home in
