Clipping Collection
Presented to Board

the Portland Realty board with a com
plete collection of Portland newspaper

. provements and new buildings. The
collection formerly belonged to John
P.. Harrington, and his widow pre

BUILDING PERMITS
Workmen are now tearing down the
old Frazler-McLean livery barn at
Fifth and Taylor streets to make room
for the new public garage to he con

rlanned to have the garage ready for
occupancy by October.
Plans were prepared by the archi
tectural firm of Sutton & Whitney.
The structure will be of Reinforced
concrete and mill construction and It
will be classic Corinthian in architec
tural treatment. The building Is to
be of four stories, and a feature will
be the four laVge frpnt entrances on

EXTREME ECONOMY NOW
DECLARED POOR POLICY
61
Denrer;
irrlson; Mr.
By Paul C, Murphy.
Those who are urging extreme econ
omy on the part of the people of the
United States are doing their best to
bring on a financial depression. What
will this country do If we Tiave finan
cial depression on one hand and ex
tremely high taxation on the other?
The period of panic that tne country
recently went through and which, be
cause of war abroad and peace at
home, we recently emerged from, w'll
be surpassed ten-fold. If these ex
treme economists' plans should be put
Into general operation by the people
of the United States.
A man with an ounce of intelligence
can see that if' the people who have
the money to spend stop buying at
the stores, the. stores will fall and
go into bankruptcy, hundreds of em
ployes will be discharged, the orders
of the factories will be discontinued,
the factories, except those supplying
the government! orders, will be closed
up and thousands of their employes
will be discharged.
Money Must Be Spent.
If the people do not spend money
now we will toon have hard times
necessity for extreme economy which
prevents people from spending their
money, we will soon have a financial
crisis in the country.
You cannot take away from the pur
chasing activity of a community the
money that is removed by taxation
and the money that is hoarded through
fear, and have anything left to sus
tain the business of the country.
As a matter of fact, the people who
can spend should continue to spend.
The business of the country should
go on as far as possible as usual.
Thrift Movement Misunderstood.
There is' no doubt but what the
great thrift movement started by the
government is being misunderstood.
The stores are already encountering
the effect of this dread of high taxa
tion and this preachment of false
economy.
How many thousands, how many
millions, of people in this country are
dependent upon the liberal spending
of the well-to-do elements of the com
munity? How many thousands of peo
ple would be deprived of their in
come, .deprived of their livelihood, if
that liberal spending by the people
Irst'" are familiar sights on
the street. Every possible method
that can be devised to give publicity
to the movement is being worked out
by the committee in charge.
The spirit of the campaign was
ably presented by Earl A. Clark, pres
ident of the Progressive Business
Men's club, in an address at the meet
ing of the West Coast Lumbermen's
association last week. A part of his
speech is given below:
"The buy n home movement is es

less than a demand that the country
proceed to do the very thing which
creates depression and panic.
Portland has so many things to be
optimistic over and If the people go
about their business as usual, there
will be no depression but rather a no
tioeable prosperity as a direct result
of the war. Portland is sure to get
her share of the $7,000,000,000 war
loan which will be spent in this coun
try. When did Portland ever have
such a payroll as it now possesses or
have as much money expended in its
industries?
It is certainly time that Portland
advertised its present prosperous con
dition not only to Its own people but
to the world at large.

ine puDucity given to the "Buy a
Home'' campaign has already had a
beneficial effect on the realty market
It has started the people to thinking
about owning their own homes and the
many advantages to be derived there
from. All that the majority of the
people need Is a little encouragement
along this line to induce them to pur
chase homes of their own.
This campaign will be carried cn
in a much more elaborate way next
year. In this wonderful land of op
portunities at least "5 per cent of the
people should own their own homes.
There is a great deal of building
activity in Laurelhurst right now and
we anticipate transacting a very large
business this year. It is noticeable
that more people are purchasing homes
at this time on an all-cash basis than
for some time heretofore.
We should by all means vote the
$3,000,000,000 dock and elevator bond
Issue and it would be nothing short of
public disgrace not to vote the road
bond. If these two bond issues are
voted. Oregon will be lifted out of the
mud and Portland will take on a new
lease of life and become one of tho
great ports of the world. There has
never been an lss-ue before the voters
of Oregon that is so vital to Oregon's
future as these two bond issues.
Loyalty Day Urged

thing that has the influence upon the
family, and especially the man or i
woman at the head of that family, .
that creates an interest in good gov-
ernment, fair dealing and piogressive I
principles In all things w6rth while,
as a home owned by that family.
" 'The Buy a Home First' campaign ;
in fact, originated with the lumber- j
men. Back of It are the facts . that
the lumbermen know so well exist, as
I have just outlined. The idea of
buying a home first means just what
the words imply. A home is the most
essential necessity. The American
people today are buying luxuries, and
the home ownership of the families
of this country so well established
has been given a solar plexus blow ,
by the preponderance of advertising
of unnecessary luxuries to the point j
where people are mortgaging every
thing they have to obtain thes lux- !
uries. They soon awake to the fact
that their luxuries have depreciated
bo fast that they have nothing of a
tangible asset to show for them. They
have r.ot practiced thrift in any sense
of the word and are worse off than
ever.
"That condition Is staring hundreds
of thousands of families In the face
in this country today, so the neces
sity of owning a home is plafrier to
them than it has been for the past
generation.
Campaign Nation-"Wide.
" 'The Buy a Home First' campaign
Is national in Its scope. It will be
put on throughout th- country each
spring for an Indefinite number of
years until the menace which is eat-
ing at the roots of the foundation of j
this country of buying and spending
money for luxuries Is to a great ex
tent overcome. It commands the co
operation or every business man,
thinker and good citizen in America.
It Is being given their support, which
will be increased as the good work
goes on.
"The general committee handling
this work realizes that at the present
time there is a big foreign market
for lumber and lumbermen are not
looking to local business or expect
ing a large house building activity in
the northwest this searon. They
should realize, however, that a de
mand is being created throughout the
country for lumber for i.ouie build
ing, and that this work w.ii be car
ried on. year after year. The support
