I am glad of that. Its a nilglily hard thing nowadays to tell whether an Idea IB revolutionary or dowu- rlglit conservative. Tugwell proved that he had at ouo time been a "dirt" farmer.

Roosevelt To Spur Housing To Cut Costs Presi) Washington, June plan Is In tho making to cut the high cost of homea In a nationwide campaign.

This drive to reduce building prices Is said to have two obpoctives: 1--To spur President. Roosovell's housing program, designed to increase the i i of new homes and Iho repair of old ones, and thus stimulate the lagging construction industry. 2---To carry out NRA's avowed policy of keeping prices from mount- Ing to eiccss. Conferences have been in progress for gome time at NRA and In other official circles, working on the bous- ing program. The plans are said to be based on expectation that the housing bill would bo passed substantially as recommended by presidential advisers.

A fight over the bill was on in the house The lower costs campaign would be conducted with the co-oueratlon and stimulation of the" government. The possibility Is seen that local committees will dramatize it with facts ami figures appealing to the man In tho Former Town Marshal Is Found Shot To Death; Placed Muzzle of Gun "Against Kicked Trigger Head a Jolmstown, Juno Newktrk, 60-years old, for ninny years a resident of nnd until recently marshal of tho town, shot himself to death In his homo hero tonight.

Alderman Bishop commented on Clinton's statement that bootlegging was reduced from 60 to 70 per cent In Greeley, by saying that the last government report allows that bootlegging IB increasing in the nation. Clinton estimated that $6,000 worth of legal lirjuor per month IB sold in two pharmacies and ono liquor store In tho Oroeley and 'Evans districts. This is bound to reduce bootlegging, ho said, and declared that he personally knows ot three bootleggers who formerly did a sizeable business here but have left town.

Clinton declared he does not believe tho slate board of pharmacy will refuse to renew his license without legitimate cause. Police officers were asked hero following tho council meeting as to tho amount of moonshine found on persons arrested tor drunkenness. One officer estimated that 90 per cent of the flasks do not hear legal whiskey labels and aro. therefore, considered to contain bootleg whiskey.

Discussions have been held with labor leaders to find some method of reducing labor costs. Nothing definite on this has been worked out, hut some see a possibility of agreements, perhaps local In nature, whereby labor would take a lower hourly rate In exchange for a guaranteed weekly wage.
