These recent TRADES from those in high govern

is but another way of saying monopclieS. Nor was
either of these measures abandoned by the govern
ment; they were thrown out by the supreme court
to the accompaniment of Washingtons weeping,
wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Nor is the citation of conflicting deologies con-
fined to past experiences and developments. There
is mighty accumulation of the present The Cuff

- situation is in mess and so is

The next regular session. .-
Roosevelt will continue to fight

There will be a hot fight on
modification of the corporation

Roosevelt will seek to master
Congress again, but whether he
will try to do so with a slap on

chin - and whether either blow
will be etfective-is just another
of those fascinating questions 1888
offers.

HOW ABOUT HOUSING ON MODEL-T
BASIS?
(By BRUCE CATION


There are many reasons why housing on
a scale needed by the country fails to get
started. -s...
High hourly wages in the building
trades, high prices for building materials,
oppressive and unnecessary legal specifca-
tons, speculative land prices, all these are
holding back the building boom which IS
necessary to recovery. ....,..,......
No way has yet been found to "unfreeze'
any of these factors. No model home"
proposals have yet been made which bring
new houses down into the price range
where the mass of men can buy them.
From a layman, who does not pretend
to be building expert, comes suggestion
that might possibly point way out. 1t is
this: ......
If the kind of model houses" now de-
signed and offered the average workman
are beyond his power to buy (and they
are) why not go at the thing from COM
pletely new angle, and design house that
will be just as much house as this man can
afford to buy, and no more?
How were automobiles bought within
the range of the average buyer? BY build
ing an automobile, stripped of all gee
gaws, most of the convenielces, and even
many comforts-the old Model-T Ford of
blessed memory. 1t wasn't much of a car,
even according to the standards of those
days. But it ran, and thousands of people
found it infinitely preferable to the horse
nd 10 p
Doesn't this suggest an approach to
housing? What's the matter with building
"Model-T'' house, stripped of gadgets
and some of the latest conveniences and
comforts? A simple house that will be
water-tight, and clean, and sound, even if
it doesn't have an electric refrigerator and
thermostatie heat control. A house so de-
signed that additions can be built as need
ed, gadgets installed as they can be afford
ed, conveniences and comforts gradually
added as the occupant becomes able to pay
for them.
Would it not be possible to design and
build such house at cost, even under
today's conditions, which would jibe with
the average working mans income?
Does this mean retreat to lower stand
ards than those indicated by the beautiful
model homes" that are being designed to-
day? Certainly not. Such house, plain
and un-gadgeted as it would be, would i'm
mediately be vast Improvement over the
drafty cabins and reeking slums that now
house 80 many people in city and country
If man can't afford to buy what he
wants, he usually buys what he can afford.
But in housing, that chance has not yet
been offered him. Perhaps such an offer
would be the key-log which, pried loose,
would release the pent-up demand for new
houses.
