It is all right to draw a statute punishing a fraud and give a right to jecover in those cases where fraud or misrepresentation induced a purchase, but it is ridiculous to make a person liable for damages where there is in fact no damage and give to a purchaser the right to repudiate a contract. This act would change the rule of law in every state in the Union in actions of fraud.

From the most reliable sources available the statistics of the Labor Bureau at Washington it would appear that lumber and other building materials are geting down to a level that our people who desire to improve their property would not be justified in delaying much longer in the hope of a still further drop of any very great proportions. Taking "lumber and building materials, and including in the list steel and many metal products and as compared with the beginning of 9 3 the combined cost of building materials stands for April, 922, at 156, which is to say that for a bill of these materials that could have been purchased in 1913 for one hundred dollars one would pay now one hundred fifty-si- x dollars. While in the new system used gy the Labor Bureau several items are credited to building a very large part of which go to other industries, as for instance, copper wire, and therefore, the index figure 56 is too low, yet still it indicates in a general way about where the whole country stands relative to 1913. Present conditions are not favorable for a very extended further decline in the immediate future, but rather the reverse. 1 1 1 1 f 5 n . FURTHER BUSINESS HANDICAPS.
