If American business and industry
are prepared to meet the challenge
and the opportunity contained in this
part of our program, the resulting
stimulus to the construction and
durable goods industries will in all
probability be sufficient during the
present year to absorb a considerable
part of our unemployment. Re-em-
ployment of the millions now out of
work will in itself create the market
for the increased capacity to produce
goods and services that would result
from modernization of plant and
equipment. If any timid soul should
argue that the market will shrink
again when the job of modernization
and improvement is complete, let it be
remembered that this is a job which
will never be finished Moreover, We
are even now faced with an enormous
potential demand for new residential
construction, and very soon this may
be expected everywhere to become
acute. We shall have to make it up

lar results over night. We are engaged
in the accomplishment of fundamental
and far-reaching financial reforms.
We are building q new system, and
the speed Of our success In doing so
will depend very largely upon the un-
stinted cooperation we receive from
all those who are ir any way inter-
ested in the Nations homes.
It is no exaggeration to say that
this includes literally everybody In the
country. For the development of q
procedure which will make the owner
ship Of residential property more Sc
cure and less costly is a matter Of
vital concern to everybody who lives
In a home, whether rented or owned.
In telling you briefly Of the advantages
Of the insured mortgage plan, how
ever, I shall, confine my remarks
chiefly to those who are likely to be
most directly interested.

some mortgages. You have bought
property which Is now worth, say,
$4,000. There is q first mortgage for,
say, $4,000 and q second mortgage
for $1,000, and both are shortly COM
ing due. Very likely both mortgages
were originally for larger amounts and
you have been able to reduce them.
Moreover, your second mortgage was
probably for as much as so per cent
more than you were actually allowed
on 1t, and renewals have involved
similar outrageous charges. But the
worst part of your situation is the un-
certainty and worry. Maybe you can't
get renewals, and will lose your home,
despite the fact that your income jus
titles the ownership Of such a prop
erty.
How would you like TO get rid Of
both these Internal mortgages by hav-
ing them refunded with one long

building boom that will entail grave
dangers, the process will require many
years.
I referred a moment ago to the
community campaigns for better
housing. Let me tell you a little more
about them. They are the result of
the voluntary cooperation of civic
minded men and women and business
concerns everywhere. Over 4,400 of
them have been organized in all parts
of the country and over 1900 more
are in process of organization. These
campaigns are highly effective be-
cause they operate through personal
contact. Already. more than 1000
community house-to-house canvasses
have been started. From cur analysis
of substantial number of those which
have ben completed, it appears that
definite pledges for modernization
work are being obtained from about
l71a Per cent of the number of prop
critics visited. In these campaigns no.
body is urged to borrow money for
moderniZation and improvement If
savings or other resources are available
for the purpose. But If credit is
needed, it is obtainable for property
owners of adequate income and finan-

Los Angeles Super Campaign.
I do not wish to tire you with too
many facts and figures, but should
like before leaving the subject of the
modernization program to tell you Of
sort of super-campaign which Is now
going on in the city and county Of
Los Angeles, Calf. One hundred lead
ing citizens Of that extraordinary COM
munity have banded together and
pledged themselves to see to 1t that
there shall be expended within the
next few months, for modernization
and new construction combined, no
less sum than $100 900, 900. Let me
quote you a few sentences from their
manifesto:
This agreement has been entered
into by us, not merely to insure re-
emplcymem and the resurgence of
business that will come from the mod
ernization and new construction prof.
ects to which we are individually
pledged, but also In the hope that the
community as whole will rise to the
challenge which is offered and that
q campaign of Liberty Loan propor-
tions will be instituted to make the
Federal Housing Administrator loan
plan popular, not only with those who
need it in order to repair the ravages
Of deterioration and obsolescence. but
by those financially able to do needed
new and remodeling work without it.
We propose the Los Angeles plan for
rehabilitation of the Nation, believing
that the launching of this move in
Southern California will, II success
full mean the reintroduction Of pros
perity on national scale"
Declared Worthy Example.
Now I do not wish to preach a SER
mon tonight. But cannot resist the
impulse to suggest, that if every city
and town in the country would follow
the example of Los Angeles. undertak-
ing a program of modernization and
portance in relation to its population,
our millions of unemployed would soon
be at work and all that remains of the
depression would vanish.
You will observe that the campaign
I've been talking about involves new
construction as well as modernization.
This is as it should be, for the work
of the community campaigns every
where should be continued in Ma
tion-wide drive for better housing.
Let me tell you now about the long
range phase of this epoch-making
program. AS said six months ago,
it centers around the plan of mutual
mortgage insurance for which pro-
vision is made in title 2 of the ma
tional housing act. This plan, as you
know, authorizes the Federal Housing
Administration to insure home mort
cages which meet the standard terms
Evening star., 1935-02-19

Under the insured mortgage plan you
should be able to do just this. Since
you can borrow up to 80 per cent of
the appraised value of your property.
the new mortgage could be executed
for $4,000. If this Is done on a 20
year basis, your total monthly pay
ments for principal and interest and
mutual mortgage insurance premiums
would amount to not more than $6l70.

and conditions prescribed by the law.
These terms and conditions them
selves, In combination with the insur-
ance, are Of such a nature that they
should cause everybody concerned IN
the financing Of home ownership-the
lending institutions as well as the bor-
rowers-to prefer the insured mort
gage to the type Of mortgage COM
monty used In the past I shall refer
to some Of the reasons for this prefer
ence little later on, when come
to describe the application Of the plan,
by telling you what 1t may mean to
owners and prospective owners Of
homes and to those who lend them
money. Just now I want to assure
you that the plan Is In actual opera
ton.
Reach Out Over Country.
In addition to our headquarters in
Washington, now located in our own
building, we have branch Offices IN
all the principal cities of the United
States. Each Of these offices is fully
equipped to make appraisals and all
the investigations necessary to insure
mortgages or to give firm commit
ments to do so. Over 1000 financial
institutions in all parts Of the country
have been approved as the proper
agencies to make the insured mort
gage loans. Their total resources
amount to more than $2l 900 ,000. 900.
Together with their branches, these
institutions provide more than $500
- rr,I,; ;aI,
to serve the borrowing public. New
applications for approval are coming
in at the rate Of so or go day, and
can assure you that If every commu-
nifty in the country is not already
served by an approved lending institu-
ton, such will very shortly be the case.
In the Washington headquarters we
have completed our organization with
all the various divisions required to
perform every function connected with
the insured mortgage plan. Our
branch Offices throughout the country
are beginning to receive applications
for the actual insurance Of mortgages
in encouraging numbers. We may say
therefore, that the plan is definitely
in operation.
Complicated Program.
It Is a long-range program, and
much Of it is exceedingly complicated.
For example, in the matter of the mort
gage forms alone we have been obliged
to draw up documents which will at
the same time harmonic with the
standard requirements Of the law and
fit the legal procedure Of each Of the
48 States and the District Of Column
bia. This is only one of the many
problems to be solved in putting the
program into full operation. I men
ton it merely to show you that we
cannot reasonably anticipate spectacu-

STATE ANNUITY YIELDED
S7,29O,OOO SINCE YEAR 1854
Guaranteed For 975 More Years
If Not Sold AS Proposed

The annuity of 100000 from the
Northern Central Railroad which the
State proposes to sell for $2,571 900
cash has been in effect since 1854. In
this 81-year period it has yielded the
State $7,290,O00.
The annuity is guaranteed for 975
more years by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, and the total amount since 1854
accruing to the State would be $685.
040,000 up to the year 2010.
Maryland attained the annuity on
the investment of $1,500,000 in the
stock of the Baltimore and Susque-
hanna Railroad at the time of it's for
nation. In 1854 that and three other
railroads were merged into one sys-
TEN named the Northern Central Rail
road. Bonds of the new company were
given the State in exchange for it's
stock ownership in the Baltimore and
Susquehanna line. The bonds guaran-
teed the 100000 annuity gin perpetu-
ity."
In 1911, the Pennsylvania Railroad
leased the Northern Central for per-
iod of 500 years, or until 2010. 1t pays
an annual rental of $2,166,368 over
and above all expenses, including the
taxes.
The Maryland General Assembly,
shortly after the Civil War, inserted
in it's revised constitution a clause de-
creeing that the annuity could not be
sold except to reduce the State debt.
Attorney General Herbert R. O'Conor
acting on this decree, has notified the
General Assembly that it's sale for the
purpose of applying the proceeds to
general expenses would be unconsti-
tutional, but bonds may be sold to this
amount and then the annuity may be
sold to retire the bonds.

OUR GUIDE
By REV. WALTER B. BROCK

OUR GUIDE
Proverbs 3:6: In all thy ways ac-
knowledge him, and he will direct
thy paths.
Centuries ago." we read, cit was
customary ivr wealthy men in Eng
land to have gardens, laid out as
large labyrinths, for the entertain
ment of friends and visitors. One of
the best of those remaining to this
day is that at Hampton Courts, twelve
miles from London. 1t is an extensive
network of paths winding about be-
tween large flower beds and tall
hedges. A gentleman who visited this
labyrinth tells how he thoroughly en-
joyed an afternoons wandering in it.
But when he wanted to leave, every
effort to find his way out proved use
less. Evening came, and he was al
ready wondering whether he would
have to lie down on some grassy spot
and spend the night in the open, when
he noticed man in a high tower. AS
soon as he looked up to the tower the
man began to signal. He was guide.
By following his directions the Wis
itor soon found the way"
Life is like that. We often lose our
selves in its perplexing pathways and
the longer we seek unaided to find
our way the more bewildered we be-
come. But when we look up to the
Lord acknowledge His wisdom and
walk as He directs, we find the way.
Christ is our Guide, and at the same
time He is Himself the WAY-the
way to happiness, the way to useful
ness, the way to life.

it with the vast sums spent by the
State Roads Commission in excess of
its lawful resources. Compare it with
the hundreds of thousands of dollars

GIN all conscience, can $150,000 les
timated cost of the investigation be
considered as an excessive expenditure
looking to the protection and safe
guarding of the rights of 1,635,OO0
people of Maryland? And can it be ar
gued that this cost will not be produc-
tive of annual savings immeasurably
in excess of the appropriation asked?
"Some one has said, why lock the
stable after the horse has been stolen;
simply because a new horse must be
put in the old stall, and it would be
foolish to leave the door open for the
entrance of another thief of incompe-
tency. Another gives birth to the
thought that l am seeking to dig up
mud in the previous administrations.
If there be no mud, no mud, can be dug;
but we cannot accept an individuals
statement that no mud will be found as
conclusive X Xxx
Charges Subterfugs
"The same obstructive interests try
to prejudice this salutary measure
with the untruth that it is intended to
make fees for lawyers out of the peo-
pies money. There can be no large
fee lawyers, nor large compensation
for anybody, and this is perfectly evil
dent from the fact that the investiga-
ton will require two years.
GAIL such argument is but pitiful
subterfuge intended to mislead, de-
ceive and divert the minds of the peo-
pie from the real necessities of such
an investigation.
xxx enc of the criticisms repeat
eddy made is that I do not take COM
mand of and lead with autocratic pow
er the two branches of the general as
sembly. Laying aside the considera-
ton that such criticism and indie
pendence of the legislature x x Xxx it is
also manifestly unjust, in the assump-
ton that a governor, who is mem
Der of one political party, could find
it possible to dominate and coerce
a general assembly controlled by an
overwhelming majority of the oppo
site party. xxx
81 firmly believe that the members
of the general assembly are not only
entitled, but are most DESTROYS of
knowing your views on this subject of
investigation. Therefore, let me re-
peat and repeat again, my request that
you Immediately begin telephoning,
telegraphing, writing, and, if possible
visit Annapolis in person, or in groups,
in every possible way, in order that
you make clear to every member of
the general assembly your opinion and
desires in connection with the passage
of the investigation bill. Next week
may be too late. xxx
II feel that this is the drum beat
to arms"
Governor Nice's talk brought re-
torts from Delegate Kent R. Multi
kin, Democratic floor leader in the
House, and Delegate Thomas L. Popp,
House floor leader.
Mullikin stated the majority party
was playing ball." Popp stated the
minority party appreciated the CO.
operation shown by the majority
party.
