The lumber industry has become accustomed to mourning the wooden siding business as something irretrievably lost<omethir^g to be listed with the mustache cup, the horse-hair sofa, and the Dodo Bird- Whereas in the old days most modest homes, as well as the majority of large orr"r, -"." sided with wood, today stucco has shoved wood ofi the siding map, and brick veneer has taken second rank, with wooden siding given the distance fag, too far behind to count. And the lumber industry, after struggling vainly for a series of years, has finally decided that there is nothing to be done about it, and accepted the siding business as hopelessly lost. * * r.
And the only trouble is that no new ideas have been created and invested in the wood siding business' The good' ' old fashioned wooden siding of well known kind and character does not appeal to the builder of homes as does stucco and brick, et al, yet it doesn't seem to have occurred to the lumber industry that possibly something NEW and DIFFERENT and MORE ATTRACTIVE might be done with wood for siding purposes. That is, until recently' I rejoice to report that in the last few months I have seen some new ideas injected into the wooden siding business that shoutd bring iesults. But the wooden siding business will not come back until we get away entirely from the accepted siding patterns of yesteryear, and create new things' new patterns, new apPearances' etc., that will meet the competition of other materials by appealing to the eyes and minds ofthebuildingpublicsoforcefullyastocreateadesirefor possession.
The average manufacturer of lumber bemoans with tears in his eyes the pa.ssing of the wooden siding business, yet not onq in a thousand has ever given a single thought to recovering that business by rejuvenation' No better illustration oi th" general attitude of the lumber industry towards its own affairs could be offered than the almost complete surrender of the siding business' The building public is a fickle jade. Show them exteriors of wood that catch their eye and attract their admiration, and that business would slide back to wood as easily as it slid away from it. But, like all the good things of the world, it won't just happen. Just another of the innumerable oPPortunities for a great engineering, research, and architectural department somewhere back of this great industry to dig up live things to helP the industry'
Let's talk for a moment about creating business' I saw
a marvelous effort of that kind the other evening that greatly impressed me. I saw a car Pass a corner on a well known boulevard, and saw a man on a motorcycl'e shoot out from ttre corner, overtake tte car, stop it, and converse with the driver. In a minute or so the car drove on, and the motorcycle man returned to his Post on the corner. He wasn't a cop in uniform, but was dressed in white. ty curiosity was aroused, so I took time off to watch. Witbin five minutes anottrer car lnssed, and the same thing haP pened. Soon the young man in the white suit returned' In twenty minutes he made four stops of that kind, staying three or four minutes with each car he stopped.
*+tl
I moved up the sidewalk to qfrere I could overhear the conversation of the nert car he stoPPd, and sure enorlthr he grabbed one and shoved him over to the curb right dong side of me. And what do you suPltosc that motorcycle man said. His manner was good and his grin was friendln and he said-"Mister, one of your headlights is out' and it's tch dollars fine in this town you Lno'nt tq drive witb only one headlight, and I'm a headlight ertt€f,t and would like to fi: it for you right now." And the drivcr, relieved to 6nd he was not pinched, but was being ofiered a senicc, said"Sure, go ahead," in two or three minutes his ligbts were both working, and tte man in white went back to his post' He stays at that post every night frorn dark to midnight, and he is doing a wholesde busin€ss in fi:ing headlights' He carries a little "Ht" on his motorcycle, and be 6xes'em quick' * r r
Every single Penny be is taki-g in that way is created out of whole cloth. And he is doing a wonderful business every niEht. It reguires initiative, and brains, and ingenuity to do what he is doing, but he is pcrforming a great service, helping the public generalln improving traftc conditions, "tta nintit g in a nice incorne. IS THERE A THOUGHT FOR YOU ANYWHERE THERE, Mr. Lumber Merchant?
The other day I bumped into a lumber friend of mine' He was'wearing a conspicuously handsome new suit of clothes, and was driving a bright and shining D3F Glr--an expensive one. I had rieason to Lnow that thc Past year has been a bad one in his businesq and that he basn't made a dime in that time. So I asked the reason' particularly concerning the new car.

He replied that it had finally occurred to him that he hadn't been buying the things he normally would have, since the big slump started; and that if everyone else did the same way, no one could or would sell normally; and, since he was in the business of selling things and hoping and waiting for a return of normal buying, it looked like it might be his business to help break the buyers' strike and start things going himself, because buying goes in circles, like a rabbit runs. Se he went forth and did his fall pur'chasing just as he did a year ago.
It is quite evident that a return to normalcy must necessarily start with employers. Empl,oyees who have had their salaries cut, or their working time reduced, or in any fashion have had their incomes curtailed, cannot spend what they haven't got. And normal times are only coming back
when all of us, so far as we are able, start living, and thinking, and buyrng normalll.* t: -l* come gradually.
The presi of the country has been carrying many mcssages of late from nationally known business thinkers and authorities, advising manufacturers and distributors generally to come out of their lethargy and go out after business as they never went out after it before. And this is being reflected in the advertising columns of the great consum€f magazines. The Saturday Evening Post-thin for montts at a stretctr-is again loaded down with advertising of thc brightest and most optimistic sort. There are evidences on every hand that big business is out witb hammer and tongs spending their money to encourage normal buying before winter comes. For with normal buying will come norrnal production and distributioq and with them come normd emplo5rment. And all together they mean prosperity.

Hail and sleet in a winter land And a bleak sky overhead, Winds that sweep with a sullen roar Thru trees that are stark and dead; Winter rudely claiming his own With blustering, icy breath, Hushing the streams 'neath a mantle white In a sleep resembling death.
Long months locked in a dread embrace The flowers will lie asleep, Longing for Spring's returning steps And her call so low and sweet; The wrack of the storm will ride the sky, And the wind's loud trumpets blow, And the pulse of life beat sluggishly Neath a weight of ice and snow.
Now that is the way of a winter land; But here when the bright leaves die, The grey clouds gather in serried ranks, And soft winds whisper nigh; We hear the sound of the gentle rain, And the waiting earth is stirred ' By the laughing voices of new-born streams And the songs of the wildwood bird.
For that is the way of our summer land, By the waves of the sundown sea, Where nature dreams thru the cloud-hung days Of glories that are to be, Whire the young grass creeps o'er a thousand hills, At the south wind's low behest, And the sillken sheen of the poppy's gold Bejewels the warm earth's breast.

The new Great Northern-Western Pacific line connecting Oregon and California, now under active construction w']l open up several groups of California Pine, belonging to The Red River Lumber Company, which offer very favorable opportunities for the installation of several one- and two-band milling operations.
This line will be completed in the Fall of 1931, and we believe that now is the opportune time for preliminary arrangements to have these mills in operation by the time the line is completed.
While the present market conditions are unfavorable for immediate sales, we believe, from experience, that the lumber market goes in cycles and that we are now feeling the beginning of an improvement in conditions that will give us a satisfactory market by the time these new mills are in production.
Portland, Me., Oct. lO.-Borings recently made under an old stone pier bridge at Bath, Maine, erected seventy years ago, revealed the wood in such splendid condition that the Maine Central Railroad has selected wood piles for additional new supports. Bottled samples of borings were on exhibition in the office of the bridge engineer of the road, and it was judged that the species rvas Norway pine or white pine. A representative of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association found that the piling was subjected to severe usage during all these years, yet "rvas as sound as the day it was built." The present problem is to put in two additional bearing piers, and it rvas necessary to ascertain the condition of the piling under the old stone piers, as originally constructed.
We have in the past, both in Minnesota and California, sold logs and timber to other manufacturers where we had timber developed that we were not prepared to mill ourselves at the time.
We believe that a purchase of standing timber under contract for delivery of logs over a period of time will cnable the manufacturer to get an operation started with minimum initial investment, and enable him to manufacture high class California Pine Lumber at minimum cost.
'We are prepared to supply etectric curreat for power if the manufacturer does not care to put in his own Power Plant.
We will be glad to have anyone interested in such a development correspond with us at our San Francisco, California, Office, 307 Monadnock Building.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Man's mastery of the mystery of flight has iesulted-in a twelve thousand-percent increast in lumber requirements of the aviation industry in the past fifteen years. And this represents only essential needs. Housing facilities for planes now using the air are woe- fully inadequate. While a spirit of 'tir-mindedness" is actively developing in practically every village and hamlet in the country, recently available government reports disclose that there are literally thouiands of landing fields where no facilities are available for visiting planes.- These include not only so-called airports, but field! that already have some importance and would become increasingly available to flyers if they had adequate accommodationi.
To take advantage of this situation and help the local lumber dealer "cash-in" on community needs. Trade Extension Manager Walter F. Shaw, of tfre National Lumber Manufacturers Association, has written retail association s_ecretaries, city, state and regional, asking them to join the National in a campaign to put lumber-b-uitt hangari ott every _o. n_e of the.se fields where the government reports show "Hangar-None" or "Hangar-Small shed". - The campaign is to begjn at once with a list of one thousand fields that the National has already sifted from the government reports.
The plan for this concerted drive for lumber hangars contemplate the furnishing by the N.L.M.A. to the retail associations of the names of the fields together with all available information. These will in turn be distributed to lumber dealers in the communities where the fields are located. This information will include the name of the owner of the field, its present facilities, its present and possible future importance in a system of air transportation, and other pertin- ent data that will help the dealer make a sale.
The N.L.M.A. has prepared a variety of sales literature relating to lumber-built hangars. This will be made available, most of it free, and the balance at production cost. Both the official report and the graphic review of the recent government tests which showed the fire-safetv of lumber hangars when orotected by water sprinkler sysiems will be included in this literature.

Gentlemen: Kindly send me catalogue of the FLINTKOTE line. Name.......... Address,.,....,
One of the most important developments in the history of roofing materials was revealed recently wheh the Underwriters iaboratory of Chicago, Ill., awarded a Class "C" rating to Roc-wood shingles, the only wood shingle that
market for the lumber dealers of the United States, in the sale of wood shingles- Roc-wood shingles are made of 75 percent Clear Eurekas, treated with asphalt, and coated with vari<olored granules of crushed slate, resulting in a heavy rigid type of shingle, highly attractive in appearance. The shingle has an unusually thick butt, is tapered and comes in random widths. Innumerable roofing jobs, hitherto closed to wood shingle specification, are now prospects for this type of material because of its more desirable insurance rating. Its interesting texture and coloring, together with its ready adaptability to pleasing roof design, are rapidly winning architectural favor.
To familiarize the home owner with its advantages, The Flintkote Company contemplates an aggressive advettising program on Roc-wood shingles, stressing their beauty, permanency of protection and low rate of insurance.
The Roc-wood Shingle has ever received this classification; and the first time that insurance interests have recognized wood shingles as a fire risk comparable to other Class "C" roofing materials.
As a result of the award, The Flintkote Company' manufacturers of the shingle, have opened a new and profitable
The Flintkote Company recently established headquarters on the Pacific coast, completing its national scope of operations comprising ten factories and four felt mills located in various parts of the country. In addition, the company operates thirty-seven asphalt plants in foreign countries. Branches have been established at San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle, headquarters being in San Francisco. Branch managers are as follows: R. T. Perry, San Francisco and Los Angeles; M.

The State' of California receives more Federal funds for fire prevention under the Clarke-McNary Act than any one of the other forty States participating in the appropriations made under this law.
This is not only on account of the high estimated cost of p.ot..tittg privatl lands in California but also because the Stit. ""a- frivate owners have spent more money for fire prevention than elsewhere in the United States.
The outstanding feature that impresses visitors to this State, says Regio"nal Forester S.

The Fageol Motors Company is ready to announce a new ton and a half motor truck of complete Fageol design and engineering at a price less than $1,000.00, according to a recent statement made by Theodore R. Bill, vice-president in charge of sales. The Fageol Motors Company, large manufacturers and marketers of motor trucks and Safety Coaches in the west, have l3 direct factory branches on the Pacific Coast and inter-mountain territories.
In his statement Mr. Bill presented th'e policies of the Fageol Motors Company as they related to the contemplated expansion of the Fageol line of motor vehicles. Mr. Bill said, "It is our firm belief, after 14 years of experience in manufacturing motor trucks and Safety Coaches to meet the special needs of western truck owners and operators, that only a western truck manufacturer can appreciate the needs and operating conditions under which the western business man must operate his motor equipment. It is, therefore, necessary to build a manufacturing and service organization especially geared for these unique western requlrements.
"In the inter-mountain and Pacific Coast territories motor trucks are forced to operate under adverse road and driving conditions. Travel is necessary over desert roads in terrific heat, or freezing temperature and snorv at high alti-

tudes, or with heavy loads up steep mountain grades and over rugged mountain roads. It is easily appreciated that motor trucks must be especially designed and engineered to meet such gruelling treatment.
"A great number of thousands of Fageol owners have urged us to build a lighter weight truck than we have manufactured heretofore. There is a constant and widespread demand for a ton and a half motor in the $1,000.00 price class. We have never built a truck down to this price. Our specialty has been semi and heavy duty equipment. During the past five years we have carried on extensive experiments and tests with the view in mind of manufacturing on a quantity production basis a ton and a half truck on the same principles of engineering and sturdy construction that have been our standard since the beginning.
"We believe that we have a responsibility as a western manufacturer to increase employment as much as possible, and through aggressive marketing methods, contribute to the successful expansion of western industrial development.

They have killed in this ancient town (Jerusalem), killed until every alley was fooded with blood. Not a wall in all this maze of walls but has rung with the groans of the dying. Skulls beyond counting have been cracked on these flags; throats unnumbered have been slit in these dark doorways. They've murdered, and pillaged, and raped in this old holy town till now it is all but one Golgotha, one bloody Hill of Skulls. And if you would know why, you need only look into the eyes of these hurrying phantoms. Readily they will tell you; explicitly. Men haVe sl,aughtered and ravished in Jerusalem because they had-religion. Men have gouged eyes and ripped bellies because they had -believed. Believed in what? In God? Hardly. No, they have believed only in mere vocables-Yahveh, Christ, or Allah; those vocables that are the fingers wherewith men try to point to God. Strange potency this thing we call religion. It has made man do barbarities quite beyond the reaches of credence. For it men have done foulnesses below the foulness done even by beasts. Yet for it dso men have done benevolences such as transcend the benevolences of angels. If men have killed and died for religion, men have also lived for it. Not merely for it, but by it. That cowering Jew slinking in the shadow of the archways sloughs off his terror and becomps a king when he enters his synagogue. His bent shoulders straighten, his sagging knees become firm, and the blessedness of peace lightens his eyes. That blind Arab beggar, a mere frame of bones hung over with smelling rags, becomes a sultan when he stands at prayer in his mosque. He stands there healed of his ailments; he bbcomes a changed man, with a vision reaching beyond his world to Paradise. That dark-eyed Syrian girl, poor trull whose lips have caressed the fesh of twenty races, becomes clean once more when she kneels at the feet of the virgin. Strength foods into her tortured bones, healing comes to her flesh. Strange potency, this thing we call religion. It came into man's world untold centuries ago, and it is still in man's world today. It is still there, deep and tremendous: a mighty draught for a mightier thirst, a. vast richness to fill a vaster need- No matter where one turns in time or space, there it is inescap. :ibly. Wherever ttere is a man, there there seems to be also a spirit or God; wherever there is human life, there is also faith. One wonders about it. What is it, this thing we call Religion? Whence did it come? And why? And how? What was it yesterday? What is it today? And what will it become tomorrow?

The lumber cut for the California-Nevada region f.or L929 was 2,063,511,000 feet, board measure, or an increase of 5.6 per'cent over the 1928 cut, according to a preliminary statement issued by the California Forest Experiment Station, which collects lumber production figures for the Bureau of the Census. The cut from the pine region forests was 1,4&,235,W feet; redwood region 598,159,000 feet; mills cutting foreign and domestic hardwoods 411,000 feet, and small softwood mills 706,000 feet. In addition, there were also reported for the State 54 million lath, and approximately 146 million shingles, besides split products, mine timbers and cordwood valued at $331,000.
'Western yellow pine is the leading timber producing species with a cut of 857,697,0@ feet, or 41.6 per cent of the total. Redwood ranks second with 485,606,000 feet, or 23.5 per cent; sugar pine third with 327,690,0@ feet or 15.9 per cent; followed by Douglas fi,r, 190,7O2,000 feet or 9.3 per cent; white frr, 162,368,000 feet or 7.9 per cent; cedar 37,' 787,nO feet or 1.8 per cent; and 400,000 feet of spruce and 144,W feet of lodgepole pine.
One interesting figure in this report is the cut of 145,000 feet of Bigtree (Sequoia washingtoniana) in the Sierra pine
region, but this is believed to be largely d:ead and down timber.
The increased 1929 lumber production in California occurred entirely in the pine region, the redwood industry having decreased its cut 1.3 per cent. The pine region increase amounted in volume to 7l7l million feet or 8.7 per cent of the total cut,of the region. Such an increase would not be abnormal, foresters state, except for the widespread depression in the lumber industry and the fact that pine operators entered L929 with the announced intention of reducing their cut.
The decrease of 1.3 per cent in the redwood region cut was almost identical with the forecast made by that industry shortly after the close of the 1928 season.
The Census reDort also indicates that increased lumber production in 1929 was general in both the north and south Pacific Coast regions, and the northern Rocky Mountains, as well as the Central and Northeastern States. On the other hand, sharp decreases were recorded in the southern Rocky Mountain region and the Lake States, with smaller decreases throughout the Southern States. The greatest increase in cut took place in the prairie states, from North Dakota to Oklahoma, which are rarely considered as lumber-producing states. These states, however, produce but an insignificant total of the riation'5 lumber cut.

NOTE: trl/here Septic Tank installations are got:erned by HE septic tank herein illustrated and described is of a type recommended by University of California (Experiment Station Circular 27O). Built of naturally durable California Redwood (All-Heart grade) it is inexpensive, simple in construction, and easily installed.
Tanks of this type, built of California Redwood, have been installed and operating for over ten years and are still giving satisfactory service.
THE FUNCTION OF THE SEPTIC TANK (Fronr U. C. E.rperiment Stotion Circular No.27O)
"It should not be relied upon to purify the sewage; that is, the effiuent from a septic tank is not much less dangerous than the sewage which enters the tank, but it can be much more readily disposed of and that in a thoroughly safe manner.
"The useful bacteria which causes liquefaction are already present in the sewage and require only the proper conditions-namely, the exclusion of air and freedom from disturbance-to carry on their good work. These conditions are secured in a dark, unventiIated tank, provided with baffie boards to prevent agitation and to allow the entering sewage to settle quietly to the bottom.
local ordinances, consult same lor special rcqtirenents-
"The products of liquefaction are to a large extent dissolved in the water of the sewage, forrring a liquid which may be readily disposed of and leaving behind a small portion of solid organic matter<omparatively inoffensive-which settles as a sludge and forms sooner or later a scum on the surface.
"Cleaning out the tank is usually unnecessary for several years. A tight-fitting, removable cover is needed to allow access in case of trouble or possibly necessary cleaning. Disinfectants must not be added in quantities to the sewage, as they may destroy the useful bacteria in the tank."
"The tendency in septic tank plans is in the direction of simplicity. Many differeut typcs have been recommended from time to time, multiple chambered. However, a single-chambered septic tank provided with baffie boards to control local currents and with outlet one inch lower than inlet is recomnended. Grease traps are not necessary when waste fats and grease from the kitchen are carefully deposited with the garbage."

Washington, D. C., Sept. 3O.-Although the short selling of wheat by Russian government agency in the Chicago market is the latest evidence of the unrest ,caused in American industry by Soviet activities it was learned today that the lumber industry is not content with what it considers a failure to enforce existing laws applicable to imports which are in unfair competition with-domestic products. The National Lumber Manufacturers' Associatioi i. pt.- paring t9 m1k-e a formal request that unlawful importi of lumber be rigidly prohibited in accord with the dicree of Congress.
These provisions include Section 307 of the Tarifi Act. which excludes the products of convict labor; Section 303, providing for coqntervailing duties on imported merchandise which has had the benefit of a direct oi indirect bountv of grant from a foreign government; Section 332, whic-h authorizes penalty duties or embargo on articles distributed under unfair competitive methods; the extra, or anti-dump- ing, duties provision of the tariff laws (Sec. 201 of the ait of. l92l).;- and Section 304 of the 1930 act, which requires the marking of imported articles in legible English words with the name of the country of origin.
__Wilson_Compton, secretary and general manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association. hai formallv submitted to Seymour Lowman, assistant secretary of tni treasury, the contention of the American lumber industry that sufficient evidence has already been submi,,"O ,o 'ljus- tify the treasury department, in the absence of authentic counter-proof, in regarding all shipments of lumber from the Russian White Sea area as having been produced in part or whole by convict labor."
In a review today of the situation to the Board of Directors of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, Dr. Compton enumerates the specific evidence that has been submitted to the Treasury Department in regard to the use of convict labor in North Russian lumbering -operations in areas from which lumber is being shipped to [he United States. G. D. Whitfield, an English newspaper cor-
respondent, testified from personal observation that convict labor is used also in the Vladivostok area. From similar personal observation he testified that the lumber mills in the Archangel district are entirely operated by convicts, except for foreman and superintendents. Hd says also that convicts are employed in the logging operations. The Treasury Department has the stateminti oi a number of sailors who assert that convicts are used to load ships at Archangel, and these statements are endorsed bv Whitfietd from personal observation. It is further stated that four escaped prisoners now in Norrvay have reported to Norwegian officials that they were employed in lumbering ope- rations in Russia. Statements hive been procured from them through consular sources. There is i considerable amount of other evidence of a miscellaneous nature. Moreover, it is known that_-the State Department has recently secured important undisclosed information.
The lumber industry takes the positior-r that it is the statutory duty of the Treasury Department to prescribe regulations governing the importation of convict-made goods, which will in fact give effect to the statutory mandate to make "such regulations as may be necessiry" to exclude convict-made goods. Under present practice it is incumbent upon American manufacturers to prove that each cargo of lumber from Russia was made by convict labor. It is contended that the situation should bC reversed and that no more lumber be admitted from Russia until it is proved by the importers that it was not convict-made. That would put the burden of proof where, it is contended. Congress intended it should be.
In regard to the bounty and unfair competition section of the,tarifi laws,it is held that the entire system of state production of lumber with confiscated timber and sawmills is in violation of them.
It is stressed by the Association that the lumber industry is not asking any special or extraordinary protection but only the complete enforcement of laws already on the statute books which are designed to protect American industry against unfair foreign competition.
Washington, Oct. 6.-A,ccordins to TH'E LUMBER MARKEI', the monthly business .ilru.y publication of the National Lumber Manufacturers Assoiiaiion, the clemand for lumber is expe.cted to improve in October in all l>ut 6 of the L7 regions into which lhe country is divided for the purpose of the survey. This forecast is based on reports from about 1500 correspondents. The Association's ..orromists infer from this a it;gttt improvement of general business during October.
A slightly increased demand for October is indicated in the southeastern states as_a r,vhole; and also, in general, in the region north of the Ohio River and east of the Mis_ sissippi, including also Kentucky and West Virginia. -Sorne decrease is indicated, however, in southern Illinois, eastern Missouri, northern Mississippi, western Tennessee and northeastern Arkansas. Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, eastern Pcnnsylvania and soulhern New-Jersey report no change. Prospects favor slightly improved business in Ne_ lrraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado. New Mexico.

. As compared with August the volume of business done by retail dealers in September increased as a whole. It decreased a little in o_ne district, southern Mi.chigan. it remained static in _ New_ England, pittsburgh, -Central Northwest, Texas, New Orlean-s, south Rocky-Mountains, t-acrtlc northwest and California districts. There were 3light increases in all other districts except up-State New York, which registered a substantial inciease. With the exception of the St. I ouis district, industrial consumption is ex_pected to remain stationary or increase slightiy in October. Retail lumber_ stocks are reported on S;pte;b;; I 19.90, a,s 7.2- pe.rcent lower than on September'1, 1929. Retail prices declined slightly in September.
., Th. slump in reside-ntial building continuecl throughout the country rn September, with the exception of metropoli_ tan^New York, but slight increases are eipected in Octbber rn hve areas. Building loans are di{fi,cult to secure from banks in all districts exlept St. Louis and California.

In the interest of inclepenclent honre ownership, the Executive Committee of the California Building-Loan League has instructed its Taxation Committee to cooperate with other agencies interested in decrying the excessive burden of taxation and in seeking immediate relief, according to Harry S. Wanzer, Sacramento, president of the State organization. These include the California Real Estate Association, the California Building Owners and Managers Association and California Land and Title Association.
An intensive study of the entire state tax situation rvas begun by the California Real Estate Association. thrss ys415 ago and leading economists and tax experts from all'over the nation have been consulted. Building and loan interests are now getting behind this program in'the belief that the welfare of the independent hbme owner is involved in the present inequality in the application of the tax burden.
President Wanzer announces the appointment of a Statewide committee of leading building-l,oan men to study the plo.blems of more adequate housing and home owneiship. This committee will get behind President Hoover and tlie White House Conference which is seeking ways and means of. m.aking home ownership easier of accompiishment and within the reach of more people. In addressing the initial meeting of the National Conference, President Hoover lamented the fact that it is easier to finance the purchase of an automobile in the United States today thair that of a home. Said the President, "Adequate hotising goes to the very roots of the well-being of the family and th1 family is a social unit of the nation".
The Building-Loan League Committee on Home Ownership_will be brought together in two meetings, one in the north and one in the south, at which time plans rvi I be formulated for an own-your-own-home progra*. Factors which operate to the disadvantage of thi home owner will be studied and remedial action ploposed. Members of this Committee in,clude: George M. - Eason, Los Angeles; $ow.ard Wilson, Beverly Hitts; J. Curtis Hines, Santa Monica; H. V. Ketcherside, Long Beach; Peter B. Beissel, Santa Ana; N. L. Levering, San Bernardino; Harolcl 13. Starkey, San Diego; Harold A. Noble, Stockton ; G. Vanderende, Perkeley; Lester Miller, San Jose and Peter B. Stumpf, San Fran,cisco.
