The smailer the Job the larger the percentage of “in- decent graft” tax, Mr. Horowitz submitted, at The Evening World's request to-day some comparisons between what it 1s cost~ ing his company to build the $5,000,000 apartment house at No. 300 Park Avenue and what the cost to his com- pany would have been had it not been powerful enough and sourageous | enough to fight the bullding rings. On | nine kinds of material entering into the ulléing and on the excavation cost, the Thompeon-Starrett Co, had it been forced to submit to the exac- tions of the combination material and labor monopolies, would have been compelled to add to its bill to the owners the sum of $363,500 Here is a table which shown at a| glance what the Thompson-Starrett Company saved in the construction | cost of the No. 800 Park Avenue | building because it is so big and its operations are 80 widespread and ita | resources are so large that it could afford to ve independent when smailer construction corporations and the en- tire body of minor contractors had to go to the material bomes and Brin- dell, the labor boss, with their hats in their handa, NO, 00 PARK AVENUE, Decent — Profit ‘Indeoent Material or Com Oom to Thomp- Grn of Work. son -Marret Ce. ‘Cost.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 14 (Copyright 1920.) Congress | (Spec would raise false hopes by the passage of resolutions promising financial relief to the far- mer, in the opinion of officials in the executive branch of the Government The Senate bas yast passed a resolu- tion directing the Secretary of the ‘Treamiry to revive the War Finance Corporation and expressing ‘o the Federal Reserve Board the opinion that liberal credits should be ex- tended the farmers of the country. This action of the Senate prob- ably will be followed by n favorable vote in the House, and then Con- gress will have discharged its ott gution to the farmers who have b clamoring for help as prices declined. But the truth is the resolution will be practically ignored and will not aid the situation, and the farmer who relies on it is apt to be in # worse situation than the one who does not Investigation at the executive end of the Government reveals the fact that Governor Harding of the Fed- erad “Reserve Board will stand pat and will not regard the opinion ex- presned in the Senate resolution as mandatory, If Congress wants any- thing done, it must direct the Fed- Jeral Reserve Board to do it by amending the Federal Reserve Act. And if it does that, it would not be surprising to see the Federal Reserve ‘Board go to pieces altogether by the Prompt resignations of several of its | members. Either the Federal Reserve Board will act for the best interests of the country according to its best banking judgment or the Federal Reserve Sys- tem will become the football of Con- Bressional politics, That's the critical view of the situation as it has de- veloped in executive quarters in the last few days. Some inkling of the seriousness with which members of the Federal Reserve Board regarded the invasion of their prerogatives reached the Senate yesterday for the proposal to limit the discount rate to 6 per cent. was yoted down after it was learned what a mischievous ef- fect the action might have had on the entire banking situation. So far as the Federal Reserve Board is woncerned, the teeth were taken out of the resolution when the Proposal was changed from a “direc- on” of the expression of an opinion Gov. Harding indicated in his testimony before Congress exactly how he views the proposal to extend further credits to the agricultural in- terests and the action of the Sen- ate has not changed his mind, Mr. Harding is to be Governor of the Federal Reserve Board until August, 1922, and though he comes from the Bouth which has been insistent that cotton growers be protected by the extension of credits, he is acting in- depehdently of any political influ- ences in the matter. Ap tor the Secretary of the Treasury and the War Finance Corporation, the direction of Congress that it be revived will be heeded if the resolu- tion passes both ‘Houses.
