HOME BUILDING DECREASING
IN POPULARITY

Roger Babson, who is known far
and wide for his political prognos-
tications, makes the startling state
ment that Americans do not want
to own their own homes. He bases
his statement on the fact that we
built 100000 in 1925 and we only
built $4,000 in 1885.
Homes are still needed and since
1925 the government has made

White House leaders, headed by
President Roosevelt, are in consul
tation regarding a reduction of fed
eral expenditures. The attack is
said to be expected along three
fronts. The budget will receive an
overhauling and an effort will be
made to cut the public debt. The
third point relates to the internal
fiscal affairs of the government and
is not so easily understood, but it
proposes that federal bureaus shall
not borrow and spend beyond the
amounts required. All of these
points will probably be cleared up
and the facts laid before the public;
in the mainline, great consolation
can be found in the statement that
heavy increases in taxes are not
contemplated.
