Bergstrom. president Of the institute.
Questionnaires have been sent to

Home building costs in Washing
ton, according to Government f1g-
ures, have not taken the big jump
forecast when var broke out. In
fact, they are down slightly from
last September, when they increased
some as the first news of war
flashed across the country.
The Federal Home Loan Bank
Board is responsible for these sta
tistics on the cost of building
standard six-roona house in the Dis
trict area. The cubic foot cost OF
this house has risen only three
tenths of a cent in the last year
This house last June cost $5,655,
while now, If you want to build one,
1t will cost $5,735. In March the
cost of the structure was $5,741.
But, the cost of this little home is
still about 5000 under what it was
two and three years ago. Today,
the six-room house will cost you
about $1,000 more than in 1886.
The house used by the board to
determine cost is not completed for
occupancy and does not include lot
cost. 1t has all the fundamental
structural elements, but does not
have wall finishes, lighting fix
lures, refrigerators, heaters, ranges,
screens, weather-stripping, etc. So
the board does not intend to con-
vey the impression you should be
able to 60 out and buy a finished
home for the above-quoted price.
The bare house is used in comput-
Ing construction cost.
Builders say that materials prices
are now rising. so figures for the
next two months probably will re-
hect a rise. They also say that,
according to all signs, you can buy
a house cheaper today than you will
be able to for some time.

MILLER FLAYS
DEMO RECORD

Addressing'a mass meeting which
titled to capacity the Community
Hall at Benton City Friday night,
Frank Miller, Republican nominee
for Congress, speaking against a
third term for the present adminis-
tration and answering the speech at
Spokane of Wallace, the candidate
for Vice-president, said:
Rotation among it's citizens OF
the important administrative Of
fices is the very essence of a free
republic-its only safeguard. Even
if Roosevelt had done a good job.
the people would revolt at the at
tempt to get him a third term.
Dragging about slight improve
ment in farm prices as compared
with those of 1882, distinctly sub
normal year throughout the entire
world, the New Dealers skip the fact
that the purchasing power of bu-
shell Of wheat or pound of pork is
the lowest of any normal year since
the days of Napoleon.
"At Spokane, Wallace, the New
Deal hand-picked candidate for
vice president, asks for support from
wheat growers because, as he says,
his party made possible parity pay
ments on wheat, very adroitly avoids
mentioning that Roosevelt sliced
the parity payments out of the bud
get and New Deal congressman
Woodrum, leading the so-called
ECONOMY Block" in the House with
the aid of many of his colleagues,
fought bitterly to prevent their be-
ing put back.
"Our present congressman wants
a third term for himself and Roose-
welt on their record of having spent
SiXty-siX thousand millions in eight
years in what they call ga war on
depression" in which they never
won a battle.
LET us elect men who believe in
a free republic system and who
have confidence in its people; men
who won't ask us to view a noun
tain of public debt, lack of employ
ment necessitating the greatest dole
system in the worlds history, gov
eminent foreclosure on thirty thous-
and farms and a hundred thousand
homes, a neglected and obsolete de-
Tense system while war RACES to
