Councilmen write off the accumu-

The council agreed that the build

in better, more beautiful city and
will mean more revenue for the
town. They agreed that property
surrounding the new homes will
increase in value and the new tax
payers will help the present tax

penditures.

good one. Since the campaign is
underway, it is conceded to be a
sweeping move to reduce tax delin-
quencies in the future and to en-
courage immediate construction OF
more homes. 1t rapidly became one
of the prime phases of community
life.
Interest in the move has grown
daily with the number of inquiries
as to the methods of acquiring lots
increasing rapidly. Thirty-eight
of the lots have been sold to date.
The movement Immediately spread
to other valley towns and Ell Cen
tro's handling of the matter is sub
ject to serious study.
The city obtained the promise OF
cooperation of the county board OF
supervisors and the Imperial 1r-
rigation District board of directors.
The $40 and $40 sales are to be
divided among the three tax as
sessing agencies.
The city sells a vacant lot upon
which no taxes, penalties or street
assessments have been paid for a
number of years. The purchaser
will not be given deed to the prop
erty until new home is completed.
The building must begin within
80 days after the sale as a means
of eliminating speculation.
Lots for Homes
Vacant lots thus are traded for
brand new homes to grace the resi-
dental sections of the city and by
the same stroke, the delinquent
tax properties are returned to the
tax rolls and begin to pay their
share into the city Golfers.
BY means of the building cam
paign, many families will be taken
from the renter class and put into
homes of their own. They thus
become permanent residents and
look upon Ell Centro as their home.
The city has only one thing to
sell the purchasers, its title in the
lots. The city sells that to the
prospective home builder and from
there on the problem lies in the
hands of the individual buyer. The

TAXPAYER AND
COLLECTOR GET
PLANS BENEFIT


CLEVELAND, Ohio. Several
phases of the Insured Mortgage
System of the Federal Housing Ad
miniStration should be welcomed
by both taxpayer and tax-collec-
ton agency, according to John j.
Boyle, treasurer of Cuyahoga coun
ty. He said:
"Such a plan of payment as the
one which the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration has put in operation
has several fine advantages. 1t as
sures the taxpayer that his taxes
are always paid up. 1t assures the
lending institution that its mort
gage loans are protected against
tax delinquency and simplifies the
collection of taxes in that there is
a central point of collection"

In this little house, designed by the Federal
Housing Administration, and designated as house
"B" in its booklet principles of Planning Small
Houses, emphasis has been given to maximum
accommodation and adequate comfort in the bed
rooms. The living room is small, but the shape
and wall spaces lend themselves to satisfactory
furnishing and use. The kitchen is compact, but
allows space for either small table or more cabi-
net space. Laundry trays could be installed in
the utility room, if desired, instead of using the
combination sink.and-tray fixture shown in the
kitchen. If coal range were to be used, the posi-
tion of the chimney could be changed to the parti-
tion between the utility room and Kitchen making
1t available for the range as well as the heater.
The Federal Housing Administration estimates
that this home may be built under the Insured
Mortgage System at a cost ranging from $1650
to $4,000, depending upon location. This figure.
of course, does not include the cost of the lot.

are to be free, they must be free to work and free to enjoy the abundant wealth which it has now become possible to produce. But that means a New Deal"
 Mir. Filene has analysed the situation in fair and unbiased light. He has expressed what all sound business men know, but a few hate to admit. This nation can not go backwards to the so- called Old Deal or any other Deal. It must go forward to and with a New Deal, if it is to sur vive.-Exchane.
The Nome daily nugget., 1936-05-01
THE OLD ORDER
 CHANGES

Il is refreshing to know and only fair to state that all so- called big business men are not of the same thought as the Am eriean Liberty League. It is the worst kind of a mistake to say that the League represents all big business. In fact, it only re- presents a small part of it, and some whose names are we'll known to the public. Thus it attracts attention But there are a great many others, many of them equally as well known, who are in step with the progress of the nation and thinking in tune with the most good for the greatest number.
 There is Edward A. Filene of Boston, a co-founder of the Bost- on Chamber of Commerce, the United States Chamber of Con- merce, a merchant of information al repute and one of the wealthy men of the nation. MT. Filene re- gently returned to his home in the east after a trip throughout the country and in making an ad- dress shortly after he returned, spoke of the political picture in these words:
 "This is no time for partisan ship. We Americans all want the same thing. We all want prosper ity. What we want to know is whether we can best achieve pro sperity by supporting President Roosevelt, under whose administ- ration recovery has undeniably begun, or by wrecking the New Deal and returning to the system in vogue when President Roose- welt was inaugurated.
 I have recently returned from another coast-to-coast study tour Of America; and in the West as well as in the East, I found many bankers and many conservative business leaders bitterly opposing

was necessary, but we did not take it. We were asleep at the switch; and our economic mech anism, failing to make the turn, went forward to the worst crash in history"
 Pointing out that the Republi- can party did nothing in that cris is, MT. Filene continues:
 Republicans need a New Deal surely, quite as much as Demo- crats. They need an utterly diff erent administration of business from that which brought us to de pression. And while all of us may disagree with some New Deal projects, or even criticize the administration of these measures, this one fact stands out plainly. The Roosevelt Administration re- cognizes the necessity for a fun damentally different administra- tion of business from that which brought us to disaster in 1929 and has worked courageouSly on the Herculean task; whereas, if the Republican party is to be the par ty of those who furnish its cam paign funds, it can not now recog nize any such necessity and is therefore committed to the re- establishing the Old Deal.
 "The Roosevelt Administration makes no class appeal. Standing as it does for planned prosper ity, it stands for the prosperity of all legitimate classes; but the nature of this opposition, howev- CT, has for the time being made
The Nome daily nugget., 1936-05-01

the New Deal Administration and everything it stands for, while workingmen and farmers were generally for Roosevelt.
 But these bankers and busi- ness leaders, I couldn't help not icing. were not content to crit ic-ze New Deal measures. They objected to the whole idea Not once did they suggest program to take the place of the New Deal. They had no plan to em- ploy the unemployed. They had no solution of the farm problem. What such men said was that business must be allowed to go its own way and, that the salva- tion of the country depended up- on the defeat of President Roose- welt.
 T am not claiming that the New Deal has brought prosper ity. Our problems have not yet been solved by an means; and they will not be solved until or ganized business recovers from this fit of angry embarrassment and is willing to cooperate with organized agriculture for nation wide, planned prosperity. be- lieve in business leadership; and I want business to regain it's lead ership. But we business men can not do that until we openly recog nize the tragic mistake we made in the days when our leadership was unchallenged.
 "Organized business had it's way for decades; and So long as our way was in harmony with industrial development, the mass es of Americans did not object. But industrial development brot us to turning point, and we did not recognize that it was turn ing point. Our machines had be- come so productive that we could hot keep them running, unless the income of the masses was so greatly increased that they could buy in such volume as was never before possible.

the Democratic party the party of the wage -earner and the far mer, and the party of those who still suffer from unemployment and poverty-suffer, not because of any fault of their own but because the rich and powerful benefciaries of the old order have become so concerned with their traditional rights and privileges that they have not yet awakened to the necessity of a New Deal.
 But MT. Filene holds out hope for the Republicans if they can but see the light when he says:
 'In 1940, providing Roosevelt is elected this year, the case will be different. Just as no party after the Civil War would think of re- establishing slavery, no party four years from now can possibly think of re- establishing the Old Deal. We may look to the Repub ican party, then, to become a par ty of constructive opposition-un doubtedly opposing the Democrat ic measures, but no longer oppos- ing them on the ground that no new course is ever necessary.
 "One day, in the light of hist ory, all Americans will look back at Franklin D.

They are days in which. if Americans
