a mark of quality can be put on

tective features.
IN this effort the Federal Home
Loan Banks have the support of
the American Institute of Architects
and the Producers Council, national
association of quality building ma
terials and manufacturers, said Mr..
Twohy. The service is open to the
bank SYSTEMS membership of nearly
1900 savings and loan associations
and similar me-financing institu-

than $5,0O0,000, ,0O0"
Mr.. Twohy said that the Regis

ment undertaking and only insofar
as its initial development and CO.

sentially it is simple method by
which privately owned and directed
home financing institutions can give

Insist on Good Design,
Home BUYERS Told

With tens of thousands of new
wage earners being added to the
ranks Of potential home owners
through defense activities and the
demand for housing at new peak,
homeseekers today were urged to
insist upon three elements essential
to the security of their investments
good design, quality materials and
sound construction.
These essentials can be assured
most effectively through home
building services such as an increas-
ing number of institutions are Of
fering throughout the country" de-
clared James Twohy, governor of
the Federal Home Loan Bank Sys-
tenn. These institutions, which have
enlisted the cooperation of archi-
tects and technicisns in the estab-
lishment of home building depart
ments, have taken an important
step in raising the standards OF

Taxes Declared
Gross TO Which
Realty Is Nailed
National Conference
Of Taxpayers Hears
Bankruptcy Warning

Warning that Oppressive" tax
policies will lead inevitably to bank
ruptcy, DR.. William H. Husband,
member of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board, today charged that
real estate lis being crucifled on a
cross of taxes" with a consequent
threat to the stability of both home
ownership and local government.
Addressing the National Confer
ence of Real Estate Taxpayers at
the Mayfower Hotel, Dr. Husband
declared that taxing authorities
themselves will suffer in the end
from "the impossible burden placed
on the ownership of real estate in
hundreds of communities"
He made three specific sugges-
tions for modernization of the
present archaic tax systems:
l. Reasonable tax exemption for
low-cost homes.
2. Establishment of a fair ratio
between the tax burden and income
return.
8. Provision for reasonable tax
serving facilities.
Foreclosures Cited.
He buttressed his assertion con-
cerning tax burdens with figures
from the Home Owners Loan Corp.
A comparison of foreclosures in
such States as New York and New
Jersey, where high tax schedules
frequently are found, and in States
with reasonable" levies, "leaves no
question of the part burdensome
taxes play in the destruction of the
values of home ownership, he said.
DR.. Husband proposed some de-
gree Of exemption for low-cost
homes, saying: Whether it be pure
coincidence or condition of funda-
mental relationship, it is a fact
that we have had a smaller per-
centage of foreclosures in those
areas where taxes were either
exempted or established at more
reasonable levels
He stated his principal proposal
this way: "The tax rate should be
established on the basis of income
instead of being levied on the basis
Of an assessed capital value which
under present practice is usually
an obsolete value"
The conference opened yesterday
with formal presentation by Myers
Y. Cooper, former governor of Ohio
and president of the conference,
Of a proposal to establish a Com
mission on Taxation and Land Pol
icies to review the whole tax struc-
tre of the Nation with a view
toward evolving a long-range tax
policy.
Confiscation Threats.
Then, at an afternoon session, the
delegates, representing urban and

Spurred to greater activity by

volume of building construction
throughout the country was 81 per
cent greater during the first quarter,
of this year than in the same period
Of 1910, the Labor Department an
nounced today, following completion
of its Nationwide survey. g
All types of construction shared
in the quarterly increase. New resi-
dental construction was UP % per
cent, value of new non-residential
building rose SO per cent, while there
was an increase of per cent in
additions. alterations and repairs
to existing structures. :

and District governments, is sl6,-

This is about $430O,000 over the
figure for the first three months Of
1910. Washington ranks fourth
among the cities in total building,
being surpassed only by New York
City. Los Angeles and Detroit.
Building permit valuations in
March also showed increases in all
types over the corresponding month
of last year. New residential build
ing was 10 per cent greater than
in March. 1910. while there was a
gain of 40 per cent in non-resi-
Dental construction and II per cent
in modernization work. Total build
ing construction gained 26 per cent

Many people are asking them
selves 'Is this the time to buy or
build a home?" 1t is question
that anybody asks when he con-
templates taking this step. 1t is
probably asked oftener now since
many feel that building costs will
continue to rise.
The purchase of a home should
not be looked upon as a strictly
-blooded business proposition,
but rather as a more desirable
way to set up family life, the &C

Of building costs may make buying
more desirable, at one time than
another; as when it appears that
a decline in costs is on the way,
a delay in buying might be the
sensible thing.
There will be a real effort in
this emergency to prevent runaway
prices, but it may not work. During
the last war building costs began

to rise in 1915. At first it was slow.
BY the time. the United States
entered the war, they were about

war level When the war was over,
they were about twice as high.

founding fathers pledge to posterity
that this nation shall be ever free
The Christian domain Of Constantine
the Great had its Labar,im, the Cru
saders drew their inspiration from the
magnetic genius and the slogan Of
Peter the Hermit, and our own be-
loved state of Montana points with
justifiable pride to the scriptural Or
igin OF its very name-"Abiit in Mon
tana cum festinatione'--Went into
the hill country with haste" (St. Luke.
Chapter l, Verse 39)
1t is only fitting then, that the
Tooth anniversary OF the founding Of
Catholicity in western Montana, an
event which by the way is attracting
national attention, should have its Of
fetal badge or insignia to commence
rate such a glorious historical event
The Most Rev. Joseph NJ Gilmore.

sist of picture of old St. Mary's mis-
sion and also a likeness of Father
Peter DeSmet or Father Antony Ra-
valli. The badge will be ready for
distribution shortly, and many requests
have already been received for this
souvenir from at home and abroad by
the chairmen of the ways and means
and the arrangements committees.
Words of commentator were heard
at all sides for the Right Rev. j. C.
Willinging, VIC, Of the diocese Of
Helena and the Very Rev. Denis P.
Meade, dean Of the Missoula confer
ence who worked tirelessly to secure
a suitable commemorative badge.
1t is also planned to write the his
tory of the diocese of Helena and to
put it in permanent form so that
future generations may know with
authenticity the work and deeds Of
those valiant soldiers of the cross
who brought the gospel Of Christ to
this land of the shining mountains"
To this end four deanery numbers
of the Western Montana Register will
be issued on Aug. 3, 10, II and "a.
They will cover the history Of every
parish and Catholic institution in the
diocese of Helena in tabloid form. They
will be bound and made available for
public distribution some weeks in ad-
vance of Aug. 81, which is the date
of the centennial observance.
