"HUbEURG NEWsITeVIEW, JULY 12,"tf'22, PAYING RENT TO YOURSELF. Business men usually urge people to own their own homes, aCone of the best means to acquire a start in life. Real estate dealers have a taking advertisement,' 'Fay Rent to Yourself." Is it true that a man can make a saving by owning his home and avoiding rent? Or will his costs for interest .taxes, repairs, insur ence, etc., offset what he used to pay for rent. Some people of course buy more costly houses than they can afford. Cut if a man buys within his means, there is apparently a saving. If he rents, his landlord is entitled to some return for the care, effort and responsibility that he takes on himself to look after that house. If a landlord got clear, in addition to the interest that his money would earn in an equally cafe investment, one or two per cent extra as compensation for looking after the house, most people would say that this was only a fair revenue. Some would claim that he should get still more. Unless the landlord does clear a return somewhat higher than he could get in the safest kind of bonds, he has no inducement to own houses and rent them out. There are some annoyances in owning homes for such pur poses, it takes considerable time to look after them, sometimes tenants do not pay, sometimes houses stand vacant. Landlords are entitled to a profit sufficient to compensate for such effort and annoyances. Now if the renter decides to own his house and can acquire the same at a reasonable price, he ought to save the mar gin that went to the landlord as his compensation for the time and risk required by the renting business. Hence there is every reason to believe that the purchase of a home for a fair price does help a man save money. If he can save one to two per cent or more on the value of the house annually, which formerly could be considered as the landlord's compensation for taking care of the house, the new owner is saving money. (brune Jjbfcfetn'a y - By BERT C. BATES. Mrs. Wright Still at Long Beach Tliey are GOOD! The Automobilist magazine reports that information received from a number of court magistrates in various parts of the coun try indicates that women are more careful as automobile drivers than men. Out of thousands of cases coming before the courts daily for violations of traffic rules, only about one percent are wpmen. This will be a surprise to many. It has been claimed that women would be more careless than men, and that the high ways would be strewn with wrecks caused by their heedlessness as soon as many of them became drivers. It has always been said that women are more conscientious than men. Perhaps when they get out on the road, they not merely are just as fearful of accidents, but they may feel a keener obligation to regard the rights of others. There is something morally wrong as well as arrogant in the way many men drivers, like great roaring bullies, will rampage over the roads without regard to the rights of other parties. o Most people feel ashamed to show ignorance of the manners of good society. They laugh at the uncouth ways of uncultivated persons. Yet many of these same finished people who know all the niceties of social intercourse, seem to forget all their manners when they get behind the steering wheel of an automobile. If they come to a street corner and seo people waiting to pass, they insist on going ahead full speed and make the pedestrians wait. The man who is scrupulous about going through a door 1'ist at a re ception, may arrogantly insist on his right of way on the streets. and frequently claim it when it does not belong to him. If these folks could see how their conduct makes them look more boorish thnn the rustic who eats with his knife, they would study automo bile etiquetX. o An exhaustive survey made for the Associated Industries of Oregon shows that approximately ?.ri(),UO( a day goes out of Port land to manufacturers of the east and middle-west for commodi ties equal in price anil quality with goods manufactured in Ore gon. In suinmari.ing conditions the report said that something must be done to plug this leak and keep the $18,1)00.000 at home each year. The report said that it is evident that something should be done to encourage any proposition which would bring a like amount of money to this stale for distribution. A helpful solution offered is the purchase of Oregon products by Oregon people. o There is one -rop that never fails-the weed crop and a general survey of t.ie city shows little effort is being made toward eradicating unsightly parkings and vacant lots as well as putting in condition the grounds around public buildings both city, state and county. These conditions do not savor of the proper spirit' to Dcauiuy our city and mucii uniavoraoie pnoncm is given i;oso- burg for this neglect on the part of those responsible for these conditions. o This is a fine time of the year to start something and put it over. What do you say about getting behind the proposition to build a bridge to Alexander's addition, thereby acquiring one ol'j (ho most beautiful natural parks in the state and adding to ourj growing city a mt excellent addition? All this can be done, audi done quickly, if you U'lieve in a bigger, better and more prosper-i ens Koseburg, I o !
