Show OWN YOUR OWN HOME. All over the country home building build-ing activity is very pronounced. This is about the best sign there is. Various Vari-ous forms of community houses are doubtless a necessity and are being provided, but the independent family fam-ily home is the ideal. Homes are built not for profit, but. for comfort. Should you ever wish to sell you may make or lose money. It depends largely on the size of the lot. The land is fairly sure to appreciate in value. Depreciation of the house is inevitable. But it does not greatly matter. We elo not wish to commercialize commer-cialize our homes. They promote comfort. They increase liberty. They create self-respect.- They stabilize character, says the San Francisco Chronicle. Especially is it desired that manual manu-al workers own their homes. The personal results and social effects are the same to them as to others. There is the aelded aelvantage that when work is scarce they are invariably invari-ably preferred by employers, because the possession of a home is evidence of character and probable permanence, perma-nence, and employers do hate continual con-tinual turnover of workers. Every western state should encourage en-courage the Homebuilding movement as it means development of our great payroll industries such as lumbering, mining and transportation. |
