SHOULD A MAN GO IN DEBT?
How many times has every man asked himself this question T The
answer is bi-phase, there being sometimes when it is necessary to go in
bt and there are other times when, to make life more worth the
11 zing, we not only find it absolutely necessary to go into debt, but we
r.e very glad to do so. It all depends on what debt in question
contracted for. If this did not hold true the vast majority of the
people would never have any HOME of their own, for as a rule the
undation (at least in Dreams) was laid when young and just married
was desired to build the ONE PLACE that is to be so tar removed
from the work-a-day world, to build the place that Is in all probability
the nearest approach that is ever made on this old Earth, to God's Domain,
for when we stop but a moment to consider, we can but agree with one of
oir poets, who somewhere and at sometime, in the past, said:
"Home's not merely four square walls,
With pictures hung and gilded;
Home's a place where love abides,
In shrines the heart hath builded."
To own one's own home involves the principle that Is unquestion
ahlv the verv bulwark of our form of government and one of the
principles that make this the greatest of nations and the most pros.
perous. The homing desire is productive of a more stable and reliable
race who become great producers as they strive for "their Dream Palace"
nnd the things they produce in exchange for it, ate the selfsame things
that make us not only the greatest of nations, but make us one of the
proundest, (altho some unfortunate things have taken place in tne past
seven years, that have brought tears of shame and mortification to our
eyes, still that is just one of the temporary conditions of life as we live
it from day to day, and will be rectified in the general summing and ac
counting soon coming) and it can be stated here with all truth that a
community of homes, be they only tents and the like, is far the happiest
place one can visit.
Whatever men are prone to congregate today, there is one para
mount question almost constantly being discussed, that of our "housing
problem" and they are not making more of the problem than it surely
is. Still it is just like all other problems, great and small, subject of
solution. The trouble in the main, is that nine out of every ten men are
sidestepping the issue, either wilfully or unknowingly, for does it not
follow that if the country is short of houses HOMES ,why do not the
people who so constantly talk of it, get busy, place their theories into
practical operation, and BUILD homes, instead of paying the high .and
what is in many cases exorbitant rents? Why continue to complain,
when we are nearly all inactive, when we are just figuring and talking,
while the renting and the "housing-problem" continues to get worse owing
to the very un-American laxity and inactivity of the majority of the
people who trltho they want the homes, they are still more cr less con
fussed over the so called high prices of the various things and materials
that go to make up a home, whereas as a matter of fact there can be
no substantial reduction in rents nor in the building materials until
there is a greater number of homes built, then both rents and materials
must necessarily take a tunible. It must be remembered that we are now
living in an age immediately following the greatest and most devastat
ing war the world ever knew and that all things must be high for
years to come; that they are not due to come to any appreciable
extent, while nil the rest of the world that suffered ever so much more
than we, is very naturally making bids for some of oar products. While
building costs are high and wages are high in direct proportion thereto,
it is no harder to builda home today than it was to build ten years ago, for
the camparative and relative values are approximately the same, for every
one is or should be getting that same proportion more in their daily
income anil it therefore follows that as all things are equal comparatively,
then there is no longer any excuse to desist or delay the erection of your
home, even tho you are compelled to go into debt more than you ever
did before. Sit down and figure it out for yourself, there is no trick in it,
nor does it take any great amount of mathematics to demonstrate that
the conditions and relative values are equal, altho at first glance and
consideration they seem to have been changed. The best thing in the
world for the head of a family, be he a wage-earner or a salaried man
is to get "in debt" just as surely as he is healthy and build that Dream
Palace, be it large or small, for it is the panacea for the present tendency
toward dissatisfaction and any hectic condition of mind that is presumed to
obtain among the general public today, which seems to dictate that all
earnings be spent in a wild delirium of pleasure and pleasure chasing,
instead of putting their earnings into a home, as our forfathers did, they
are buying all manner of luxuries which they think are necessary toward
happiness and which they try to make themselves think are necessities.
Did not our forefathers win against the great odds in numbers and in
wealth in the early conflict with the tyrant of the world of their time,
Their responsibilities were what made them strong and what held true
then must hold just as true today, for life is always the same, even tho
it would seem to be different at times in the various evolutions of life.
This is not a lecture, it is merely a request that all may get to
gether nnd build houses and also fix up the many delapidated shacks and
abandonded houses, so that there will be more houses in which to reside,
for both the home-owner and the renter. There are three million homes
short in the United States today and this sum will continue to grow as we
all gade about and just employ useless words in an effort to justify laying
down on the job, which latter no true American ever does when he is
made to realize that that is exactly what he has been doing. Do not
continue to mortgage your salary for a few fleeting and idle comforts
nd diversions, and then complain to others because you have not employed
that same amount in the form of a mortgage on a HUMt lor your iiumiy,
a HOME that will contain all the thousand and one little things that you
and friend wife dreamed or putting into 11, ana wiierem
have to get anyone's premission to make a garden, to tint the walls,
to plant a tree or any of the many other things the average man likes to do,
in an effort to assist the woman in her desire to mane minB im..
like Many permanent improvements are made in one's own home and the
Kiounds that would not be made if the property is just rented, for we
will all do things for ourselves that we will not do for others, especially
does this hold true when we are just sojourning temporarily wierein.
Take n LOOK AT THE SHACKS on perfectly good and centrally
Unrated lots IN VALE and then get busy In a concerted and determined
effort to erase those eyesores or at least repair or make them over into
decent and respectable habitation,, fit for someone to live in, or see that
a new home is put up on the lot. for by so doing the city is mada better and
the "housing problem" is at the same time hit in the solar plexus. There
never was any problem plueed before the American people, no matter
how great nor what its import, but that they have proven equal to the
issue and it U certain that when they have passed judgment and made
their .terisio.. in this problem, it will be like all those Delore. K win vanisn
... m. it M-..r.. mist, ami many men. women and
,.i,;i.ii.. will l, nuulM hnnnier. and we will fulfill the destiny
courageous forefather.
The Apache Indian has five words for war and not a single term or
word equivelant for "love", but he certainly does at all times hava a
home, nfier his kind and his desires, while we, with our language 0f a
'multitudinous maze of words and words, have a number of words that are
! adaptable to "war" and "love", and to home, nevertheless there is only
"ONE HOME" that is or is to be. for us. Does it not mean enough to
you to think it over and then get busy? By doing to we will forever bj
rule of this co called "housing-problem."
