Buflding since January shows that nearly 75 percent of the construction in 280 communities was confined to twenty-five of the larger centers. ‘The volume of building in the larger centers is out of proportion to their ‘\ population and would seem to in- dicate that in the smaller cities the building shortage is not being so successfully relieved. ‘There has been, of course,.a tre- 25 to April 3. ‘The minimum price of 2,020 yen per road gained 32.5 per cent last month over the preceding February with 78,247 cars loaded along its lines and 32,838 from connections, Prospects are for an even greater increase this month over last Maych.

Many bankers con- fidently predict construotion this Year will entail the spending of be- tween four and five billion dollars. Some industrial plants, however, are leaving the larger cities in order to find cheaper land. Locall- tles which once were devoted to manufacturing and refining indus- tries have been sought by other tn- terests willing to pay more. The latter im consequence are being shoved into the country. This has been specially ‘noticeable in the chemical and ol! refining in- dustry in this city. Twenty years Ago, 19 per cent’ of the workers in the chemical trades here were locat- ed south of 59th street. Now only about 10 per cent labor In that sec- tion, Yet the total.number of men employed in the metropolitan dis- trict has trebled. Alfred H. Swayne, vice president of General Motors, predicts that the simplification of» railroad - terminal practice will resulf in diverting mas- sed industrial plants of large cities to what he calls “green lands” on the outskirts, These movements are stimulating building in the suburbs 1 shows production was 16 per cent abové hormal and new. orders re- celved 20 per cent below production.

TEAPOT sh OGK NEW AILMENT (Continued from Page One) Meanwhile it begins to look as if the Teapot Dome inquiry will be overshadowed by the veterans bur- eau inquiry and that the real politi- eal dynamite for the coming cam- paign will come out of the latter. Indeed, the re: of the drive against Attorn neral Daugherty {s attributed to the reports that the veterans bureau scandal has already involved some men who. were #0 close to the attorney general as to excite public curosity concerning Mr. Daugherty’s knowledge or lack of knowledge of their doings. Is a man responsible for what his friends do? Public officials know that on the fringe of the government are fnany who trade on their friend ships. Discussion of a successor to At- torney General Duugherty has beon Boing,on in administration quarters on the assumption that the retire- ment of Mr. Daugherty before long inevitable. The mention of the name of Judge William Kenyon who resigned as United States senator from Towa to accept an appointment from President Harding to the Fed: eral bench has in {t interesting pos- sibilities. It is doubtful however whether Judge Kenyon would ac cept. He left the senate largely he- cause he wanted to oscape from the political melee. He was then leader of the farm bloc, in fact he was its main spring, There’ was talk “of Kenyon for president on the Republican ticket in 1920, Judge Kenyon has the con- fidence of western Republicanism whose aid is so vital to the decision of the next presidential contest. In- deed, a ticket composed’ of Coolidge for president qnd Kenyon for vice President would be a diétinct ad- vintage to the Coolidge campaign. Acceptance of the portfolio of at- torney general -might bring such confidence throughout the country in the administration of the depart- ment of justice as to warrant the Coolidge,supporters in urging Judge Kenyon to leave the bench, take the attorney generalship and: win the vice presidential nomination. Mr. Kenyon was an assistant at- torney general in the Taft adminis- tration and made a splendid record in prosecuting the trusts. Judge Kenyon did not partictpate . in the selection of Mr. Brookhard as Republican senator from Iowa but he-was-nat displeased by the choice. He is by no means unsympathetic with the Brookhart attitude, some- thing which the conservatives of the east would have to swallow if they drafted Kenyon, . INCOME TAX SERVICE 6. H.
