8 Per Cent Building Cain
Recorded Over Last Yeur

Washington, D. C. 0LNS).-More
than 100000 new dwelling units valued
at approximately $S25,000,CC0 were
built in non-farm areas of the country
in the first half of 1910, Secretary Of
Labor Frances Perkins announced.
This was an increase of 8 per cent in
number Of dwellings over the same
period Of 1889.
Except for cities having a popula-
ton Of half a million or over, all city
size-groups showed increases, compar-
ing the first half of 1910 with the
corresponding period of the preceding
year," Miss Perkins said. "The rural
non-farm area, which is comprised of
incorporated places having a popula
tion of less than $500 and unincorpor
ated areas excluding farms, also pro-
vided more dwelling units during the
first half of the current year than
during the corresponding period of
1882"

Three Billion Distributed
Under Sociul Security

Washington, D. C.-The Federal
Governments social security program,
which celebrated it's fifth anniversary
this week, has distributed $3,000,000,-
900 to aged and unemployed workers,
and to widows, orphans and the blind
in the United States.
The large scope Of protection given
by the program is revealed in a state
ment by the Social Security Board
that approximately 5O000,O00 had
been enrolled in the program since
President Roosevelt signed the act in
1885.
The benefits of the social security
program are distributed through half
a dozen outlets which are either ex-
elusive Federal enterprises or joint
undertakings of Nation and State.
Its insurance" benefits for the aged
and unemployed are financed by pay
roll taxes, while direct grants from
Federal and State treasures sustain
the public assistance features for the
young, the old and the helpless in
need.
At the top of the program is the
old-age and survivors insurance sys-
tenn, which pays out monthly benefits
to workers who retire at 65, and to
their wives, widows and orphans. Up
to June 80 this system had paid $685.
100000 to 102,941 persons.
Unemployment compensation, which
rriu fn
weekly sum during limited number
of weeks Of joblessness, is reported
to have distributed more than S1000,-
100000 in out-of-work benefits.
Of the more than 2S,OO0,000 COM
mercial and industrial workers COW
cred by the insurance, about 100000
new jobless are drawing unemploy-
ment compensation.
To find jobs for the insured idle, the
social security system has taken over
the Employment Service. 1t has been
credited with filling 100000 jobs dur
ing 1889 and the first six months of
1910.
The public assistance phases of the
program, distinct from the old-age and
jobless insurance systems, are oper-
ated through joint Federal State ma
chinery to provide on basis of need,
financial care for the aged unable to
qualify for insurance benefits, for the
needy blind, and for dependent child
rem.
The public assistance operation, Of
ficials reported, aids some 100000
persons every month, among them
1,9S3,900 aged, S07,900 children and
$4,000 blind. The expenditure for
this part of the system has totaled
about 81 ,900,0OO,0O0.

Smull Increase Shown In
General Relief For July

Washington, D. C. 0LNS) ).-Tele-
graphic reports from 80 states and the
District of Columbia for 90 urban
areas show for July, 1910, an increase
of l per cent in the number of cases
receiving general relief from public
funds and an increase of per cent
in the amount of obligations incurred
as compared with June, the Social
Security Board reported
General relief from public funds, it
was explained, includes all state and
local relief in cash and in kind ex-
tended to the needy, except public as
sistance to the needy aged, needy
blind, and dependent children under
the Social Security Act, other public
assistance of these special types, and
aid to veterans under state and local
statutes.
1t is emphasized that the figures re-
ported indicate only the amount of
general relief provided from public
funds and are not necessarily a meas
ure Of the extent Of the need for re-
lief, since in some communities funds
may not have been available for aid
to all persons who were eligible to
receive it.

Parasite is the name usually
on or in some other organism, from
which it derives nourshment. But the
name may be applied to certain kinds
of organizations which exist only be-
cause they attach themselves to other
organizations, as a result Of which
they are given standing or even life
itself. Naturally, they themselves not
only fail to make a contribution to
others, but as a rule they are a dis
tinct detriment--or worse.
Such, for example, is an industry in
the community which is not self-sup-
porting. 1t remains alive only because
healthy industries are giving of their
life-blood to maintain it. An industry
is not self-supporting unless it pays
a living wage. Such an industry not
only deprives workers Of a living
while they are employed, but it be-
comes a charge on the community and
on other legitimate industries which
in the last analysis are compelled to
take care Of the derelicts-the cast
off workers-of these pirate enter
prizes. Whenever a new business
seeks to establish itself in any city,
it should be compelled to make COM
plete statement as to it's standards of
working conditions and wages paid,
and if it comes up to the requirements,
it will be worth something for it to
be given clean bill of health.
Every city owes it to those who are
trying to be fair to the workers and
to the public to protect them from
business pirates and parasites, and
every new business enterprise that ex-
poets to profit by the city's reputation
and accumulated values-social, econ
omic, and commercial-should be COM
PEELED to give a guarantee that it will
not selfshly lower standards or de-
grade working conditions.
1t is absurd for anybody to insist
that he has the right to come into
long and we'll established community
and take off the cream, leaving only
skinned milk for those who paid the
cost Of getting the cream. And yet
there are individuals who claim an
inherent right to conduct any kind of
an enterprise they please, pay what
they please, and run their affairs as
they please, regardless of what such
action may do to the general pros
perity Of the community.
In the larger industries commissions
should be appointed to standardize
working conditions for the entire in
dustry, either locally or nationally.
Many of these industries are already
well organized, but the purpose of the
organization is almost entirely defen-
sive-that is, to protect members from
labor union demands and from un-
friendly legislation and similar mat
ters, which have to do purely with
their own commercial interests. But
such action is mostly negative. 1t
doesn't go far enough.
There should be constructive action
which would include human and social
relationships, and which may help
raise such standards in all other in
dustries This would benefit Industry
as a whole as well as all workers. If
this were done, there would soon be
no room in any community for an in
dustry that declines to pay living
wage or maintain fair standards.

Federal Report Condemns
Excessive HighwaY Taxes

The theory that highways are pub
lie utilities" and that highway users
must be taxed to the point where
profits are returned, is demolished in
a report of six year study by Fed
eral government experts, according to
John l.. Marsh, Executive Secretary,
Petroleum Industry Committee of
Ohio. The report, "Federa Aids to
Transportation" issued by the Fed
eral Coordinator Of transportation,
may be obtained by any taxpayer from
the U. S. Superintendent of Docu-
ments, Washington, D. c.
The report definitely states, Mr.
Marsh explained, that highways should
not be regarded as "public utilities"
and should not be taxed in such a way
as to yield an enormous profit on a
hypothetical investment 1t is stated
that "the fact that highway improve
ments have been financed by taxpay-
ers and users appears to make tax
charge (on investment) incongruous
and to result in substantially a form
of double taxation-for the provision
of the facilities and for the privilege
of using them" {"
After pointing 0dC that highway
users in the United States are paying
hundreds of millions of dollars over
and above their fair share Of high
way costs, the report of the govern
ment experts shows that highway
users also are contributing large sums
to the support of general functions Of
government.
"Motor vehicles, garages, bus and
truck terminals, and shops and their
equipment are subject to the same
methods of taxation and their owner
ship and use benefit by the exercise of
the general functions of government
in the same manner as other real or
personal property. Motor vehicle oper-
ators also bear taxes Indirectly
through the use of the services of pub
lie garages, repair shops, filling sta
tions, etc, similarly taxed. "Use Of mo-
tor vehicles" says the report, ''in
business enterprises is varying-sub-
ject to income, gross or net earnings,
capital stock and other like taxes.
There is no reason for assuming that
the payments made in these ways for
the general functions of government
are not generally commensurate with
those made by other property or en-
terprises subject to like taxation in a
given taxing jurisdiction"
