that ever wondered how it was go-
ing to pay' the rent or shivered at.
m. word mortgage will be interest-
ed in the proposal of Congressman
Robert Crosser of Cleveland. 0.
He would have the government do
for tbs struggling householder what
it already has done successfully for
the (armor. His national home loan
bill would help people buy homes
Just as the farm loan act helps them
buy farms. And he would put out
of their Jobs a lot of business boost-
ers for whom he has no more re-
spectflll name than ShyIOcks.
"I began thinking about this ques-
tion as a result of Sonic lnw cases i
have handled," Crosser tells you.
"People have come to me for hell)
after having made several ycars'
payments on their homes.
“For some reason they have to
sell and they can't even get back
their original payment. Well. they
have been charged interest at the
full legal rate. whatever that is.
Sometimes it is 8 per cent. sometimes
11 per cent. Then they have been
charged a bonus or commission.
lvhich goes up to 30 or 40 per cent
additional. It is plain usury. but it
is being done.
24 Million Families.
"Now it the government helps the
farmers. as it should. why not the
average family also? There are about
six and a half million farms in the
‘l'nited States. but there are more
than 24 million families that have to
have homes."
The size of the group to whom
appeal and promise is made by this
bill is indicated by statistics of the
census bureau. Of all the families
in the United States. about 64 per
cent live in rented houses, and of
the others. 38 per cent have mort-
Sases on their homes.
Those whose homes are mortgaged
WONG be user. Crosser figures. to
exchange their present obligations
for the more reasonable rates of
loans by the proposed national home
loan bank.
One effect would be to force down
the mortgage rates of private finan-
cial institutions. And presumably a
vast army of folk who are struggl-
ing under the yoke oi: the rent col-
lector would lump at the chance to
own their own homes under condi-
tions that placed them within reach.
The maximum interest charge
from one of the proposed home loan
banks would be 6 per cent. Tito
total amount borrowed could be any-
where from 8200 to $8,000.
Crosser is inclined to increase that
total somewhat. The limit of bor-
rowing would bs 60 per cent of the
total value of the home to be bought.
Home Loan Banks.
To operate this project there
would be a national home loan com-
mission consisting the secretary
of the treasury and we other mem-~
here. They would set up home loan
banks in each state. with the gov-
ernment putting up what capital
stock was not subscribed privately.
Borrowers would organize them—
selves into home loan associations.
through which the loans would be
negotiated.
“The plan is as nearly the same
as that of the farm loan banks as it
could be made,“ says Representative
Crosser. .‘
“It"worked for the fauna. and I
am convinced it will work for homes.‘
There is no validity in an Objection
that the government has its hands
in enoug enterprises now. If the
governme t does, not set up this
means of help. which is needed. the
people will go withoat the relief.
"England has attempted to solve
the problem by). housing law under
which the government built homes
and rented them to the people.
That would not be acceptable here.
This proposal is brand new. It has
aroused such favorable attention
that I think I am going 10 get I
committee bearing on it. and you
can be sure that some day it will go
through."

ADVlSES MARSHALL FIELD i. co. PRESIDENT
MERCHANDISIN G FIELD AFFORDS GREAT SATISFACTION AS
‘ LIFE’S WORK
BY JAMES SIMPSON
President, Marshall Field 3.
Company
What I think of the oppor nitics
ofi'm‘ml by the nierchnndlsln field
is. of course. best'demonstrated by
the fact that I have chosen it in
preference to any other.
that it gives me more happiness
than would any other form of
money making activity,
While, it presents a very great op-
portunity for personal gain. depend-
ing 1199b one's ability. it presents
what is even more important—an
alluring opportunity for service to
one's fellow man.
It is almost unnecessary to point
out that modern merchandising has
become tremendously \aried. intri-
cate and highly organized. The
simple type of one-man business
tends to merge into larger and larg-
er organizations undyr corporate
form.
Study the organization chart of
any large and well organized busi~
ness. and you will get a picture of
the vast activities which are being
conducted by it. The day of asso-
ciating these activities with physical
rnther 'ihan mental qualifications
has passed..aud now some of the
best minds in the world are employ-
ed in producing,.ilnancing and dis-
tributing merchandise. ..
Like Life‘s Cycle
The production, distribution and
consumption ”of goods and services
compass the full cycle of life. and
I am sure
the young man who has ambition to
succeed need have no difilculty in
finding a place in this vast scheme
of things for any talent he may
possess.
New processes. new resources.
new territories are waiting for those
who can do constructive things. who
can plan. design and help run the
machine so as to eliminate waste.
cut down costs. utilize by-producte
and make the workers happy and
productive. .
The element of chance and specu-
lation in business is yielding more
and more to scientific organization
and planning. and the acquisitive
type at personal success is regarded
lees highly than that of achieving——
creating—accomplishing something
which will be a real contribution to
society and to our fellowmen.
The first requisites for a sucbess-
ful merchandising career are will-
ingness and capacity to work. Busi-
ness has its technique just as have
the arts and professions. Its begin-
ners must start far down where they
can grasp principles and fundamen-
tals. They must be willing to eervd‘
a real apprenticeship.
Happiness ingwork
To the young person seeking a
business career‘ I wduld say. select
rm institution of large size and
known integrity. Apply for a posi—
tion without regard to its remunera-
tion.
If you will supply courage and
application, intelligence and en-
.satlstylng his ambitions and his
thuaiaem. the rewards will come to'
you, whether you expect them or
not. When you have found the place
where your interest lies—where you
are hepm’——stlck; do not shift from
place to place.
Happiness in work is a precious
thing. It makes work a fascinating
game and. therefore, imparts the
higher qualities to one‘a labor. Love
for the work makes the task easier
and the worker industrious.
This is indeed an era of golden op-
portunities. Every reat business
organization is con antly on the
outlook for the right kind of men.
The business of Marshall Field and
company cov a manufacturing. im.
porting. wholesaling and retelling of
high-grade merchandise.
I can think. oft hand. of more
than a dozen positions in our own
company that are waiting for good
men to till. There are plenty of men
for ordinary Jobs. but menrwho can
qualify for the higher positions are.
if not rare. at least not‘too plentiful.
There is hardly a man in our or-
ganization who occupies a responsi-
ble position who has not grown up
in the business. All absorbing and
romantic interest has led each one
to give his very best to a. business
ideals of service.
I cannot do more than commend
the same thing to you.
