THE HOME OWNER By Herbert Hoover "A family that owns its own home takes pride in it, maintains it better, gets more pleasure out of it, and has a more wholesome. healthful and hapier atmosphere in which to bring up children. The home owner has a constructive aim in life. He works harder outside his home, he spends his leisure hours more profitably, and he and his family live a finer life and en joy more of the "comforts and culti vating Influences of our modern, civilization. A husband and wife who own their own home are more apt to save. They have an interest in the advancement of a' social sys tem that permits the individual to store up the fruits of' Has lab'or. 'A's direct taxpayers they take a mora active part in local government. Above all. the love of home is one of the finest instincts and th greatest of inspirations of our people." Evangelist to Visit Albany PARIS. March 6. (By The As sociated Press) Premier Poin care's ultimatum to the finance committee of the senate tonight that his cabinet would resign un less the committee approved his fiscal measures, caused the com mittee to announce that it will again have a conference with the premier and Minister of Finance De Lasteyrie tomorrow or Sunday in an attempt to reach an agree ment- If this comes about the financial bills will come up for discussion in the senate next Tuesday. mm I i i w.iiMiitMW'a'iiMMMiiiii matmrnAmm inn. -gaii!3auiai!muaiMBaaaii I- J i .

Homes Declares Nation al Secretary Loss than 40 per cent of the people of the United States own their own homes and home owner ship has not materially increased during the last 10 years, members of the Marion-Polk County Realty association were told by Will Her rin, secretary of the national asso ciation of reaj estate boards, who spoke at a special luncheon , of the organization at the Marion hotel Saturday. The national as sociation is promoting home own ership in addition to building up the association, whch now con ssts of more than 500 boards. "One of the major problems to day is that of taxation of real es tate properties," Mr. Herrin said "We need a better return for mon ey spent on taxes. A decrease of taxes is not as- important as is a better expenditure of tax funds. Real estate men must follow a code of ethic and insist upon strict observance, of real estate laws." It was pointed out by the speak er that one-fifth of the total wealth of the county escapes tax ation while 14.3 -cents of every dollar, or one-sixth of the in comes of America, go for taxes', With one-twelfth of the total pop ulation working for the govern ment, the remaining eleven twelfths must stand the burden. Splendid cooperation of real es tate association through the adop tion of multiple listing bureaus was complimerfted upon by F. S. Barrett, of Spokane, president of the northwest real estate associa tion. T. W. Zimmerman of Port land, secretary of the northwest association, extended an invita tion to attend the convention in Yakima the last week in August. Needs of a strict licensing law, defined prgorams and the selling of Oregon to Oregon people were emphasized by John Merrill , of Portland, V vice-president of -the northwest association and presi dent of the Portland real estate board. Will Moore, state, insurance commissioner, and W. A. Mullen, from the same office were special guests. Home Ownership Balance Wheel to Civilization Home ownership' is the- balance wheel of our future civilization. It adds stability to our general government. It tends to build up a strong social community welfare. It strengthens home ties and teaches thrift to both parent and child. It teaches them to have a higher regard for the property of others. When you come to consider that we have been only 75 years, the average life of a man, since the first settlers came to this state, and that all the development has been accomplished during that short space of time, and that the greater portion of this develop ment has been made within the last 20 or 25 years and that dur ing that time the telephone tele graph, electricity, the automobile, the radio and all gasoline apllan ces have been invented and put in to use, we may reasonably expect within the next few years to wit ness a greater development than has heretofore been made. The automobile and good roads will cause thousands of people to motor, through, the Pacific coast states each year, many of whom' will invest capital and become fac tors in our ..community develop ment. Prices of homesites are sure to advance. Good oportunities are sliping away from us daily. Everyone should get a home. Get a piece of real estate of some kind before that large throng of homeseekers that is headed this way from farther east and beyond the seas causes prices to go beyond your reach and you will be left merely to tell the old story what; you might have done lcvest it In a home and resolve that yOu will from this time hence forth do something worth while, and in a small way, at least, show your apreciation for the privileges you are enjoying daily in the best section of the country, in the best state and in the best nation in the world. It may mean sacrifice on your part, but no one reaches high attainment worth while without making a sacrifice. Begin now; you will not be sorry. m -T w NEW 120.1 HOME Will Erect Modern Building!
