Immediate ly after the streets cars were put back in service, I Interviewed some of the Ride for 10c drivers, and was told that some made from 40c to $40.00.

One said, my tires won’t stand a trip to either of the parks. He should have been like the ones who took advantage of past situation. He may not have a struggle buggy when there is another street car strike. They don't happen often.

Harper’s active campaign i has resulted in a general sentiment \ In favor of his election. H. H. ' B 'per has an outstanding record ' as a private citizen. He suggested National Housing legislation two years ago and followed it through to victery. He saw his ideas be come part of a great National Pro gram. The bill that h6 sponsored, the National Housing Act has been ■aid by the press through out the country, to be the greatest piece at legislation since Roosevelt’s w.- —— ~ —■ • /..lection. It has been estimated by' i newspapers throughout the coun-j ; try that this bill would create work l | for five million men and women. H. H. Harper is to be commended for his originality and his untiring efforts to ca> ry through a program once started. H. H. Harper started his cam paign for a Housing Program in Omaha. Making some two hundred talks creating public sentiment in faver of this program. Men came from Kansas City, Des Moines, and other cities to consult with him about his Private Works or Housing program more than two years ago. He carried on an active cam-j paign, writing the President, Sen ators, Congressmen and heads of; Civic Orgariizations. February 1933 — The President elect referred his suggestions to the Treasury Dept. Even’ letter in answer to his suggestions was fav orable. April S, 1933—World-Herald pub lished statement by H. H. Harper.! “An extensive rehabilitation pro- ! gram of the residential and busi-1 ness district of our cities, together with the .ret lbilitation of our op-: erating equipment can be organ ized on a sufficient scale to put our idle men to work.” May 9, 1933—Edward R. Burke, answering a letter from Mr. Har per said, "I have read with a great deal of interest your proposal in reference to a Private Works pro jram. You have put your finger' ipon a matter of vital importance. Any .e I can be of assistance to fou, ... me hear from you.” This is a sample of the many let ters that came back showing the willingness of congressmen and ither leaders to cooperate with Mr. Harper. He has cooperated with the President and the admin stration and will cooperate if nom inated and elected. April 20, 1934—As the program began to take final form, the as siciated press reports were earned throughout the country indicating that the bill might not include the financing of new construction. April 20, 1934 — Quoting from Associated Press report from the Washington Star, “Administration orders were out today for a new vehicle to use on the road to re covery. The projected machine makes - i 1 a b 1 e as much as 51,500 i lump sums of from 5200 D for the renovization of £ . i.oraes throughout the nation.' “Other plans delayed. The con ference yesterday also decided to defer until next session of con gress laige expenditn.es of gov ernment funds to stimulate actual new building and erection of large housing units in slum areas.” Mr. Harper, immediately wired the President urging the broaden ing of the Housing Bid to include the financing of new construction. In answer to his telegram, he re ceived the following: April 23. 1934, the Attorney! drafting the bill for the President,] Horrace Russell, wrote Mr. Harper as follows, ‘‘I have been asked to I reply to your telegram of the 18th to the President. This question of housing is being studied most care fully by a committee under the direction of the President and it is hoped that a program can be de veloped to accomplish the pur poses which you have in mind. The most careful consideration is being given your suggestion.” April 25th, 1921 — The Omaha Bee-News said, ‘‘H. H. Harper, founder of the New Day League which undertook a rehabilitation campaign in Omaha a year ago, is in Washington seeking to have the government’s home renovizing pro gram broadened so as to include home replacement a3 well. H. H. Harper did get results. The bill when finally passed pro vided for the financing of new con struction. This was the important and vital part of the bill that had to do with creating employment in the builders traae and capital good3 industry. He is to be con gratulated for hi3 efforts as a pri vate citizen to secure legislation to create employment. He stayed in Washington two months conferring with Congressmen, Senators, busi jness men and heads of govern mental departments. While there, he wrote to organizations in 750 cities urging their interest in the j measure. April 19, 1984—Hugh S. Johnson iwrpta lCr, Harper, "I agree with everything you say.” This is only' a sample of the hundreds of letters' received by Mr. Harper. We will' quote here from a Georgia paper; as a sample of what some of the; Eastern papers had to say of Mr. Harper in Washington. May 24, 193 4—The Bullock Times and Statesboro News, Statesboro,! Ga., says. “The first outline of the bill provided only for repairs, but in its final draft included new con struction as well. For more than a year a very strong organization in' Nebraska, the “Comhusker” state,! headed by H. H. Harper of Omaha,! has urged the inclusion of the, “construction” clause. As a liaisioni committee of one, Mr. Harper has: been in Washington for several weeks seeking to iron out any dif ferences of opinion that might exist in this one particular between those drafting the bill and the pro ponents thereof. Congressman Ed ward R. Burke, now a candidate for the Senate, and other inter ested parties also fought hard for the insertion of this section." June 15, 1934—The North Oma ha Booster 3c.il “Mr Ha,-per bas devoted a larg* part cf his time for the part two veers studying National plan* to create employ ment.” May 31, 183V-TPs Omaha Fun says, "H. H. Harper has taken on active interest te Housing legisla tion for the pest two years and has given cor.^dsrab'a time and study to the cubied.' Among the nary "ettera written la support cf K tf. ifarpar’a Houi ing ideas are the following* Elay 1934—Mayor Roy N. Towl wrote, “I have known Mr. Harper for the past 20 years, during which time he has been active in the Real Estate and building enterprises of the city. In my opinion Mr. Harper is thoroughly competent and an authority on Housing problems. May 1934—R. L. Metcalfe wrote, "Mr. Harper has been in the Real Estate business here for many yeara. If you make inquiry among those who have known him dur ing the greater part of his time, you will find him to be in every way competent. May 11, 1034—Eugene O’Sulli van said, “Mr. Harper’s wide and varied experience has in my opin ion gathered a thorough and com plete knowledge of the Housing problems which i* not exceeded ty any other man in the middle west.
