to hear Mrs. Zanier singing softly into
the transmitter.

SEE HALF AND HALF
PRINCIPLE OF TAX
.. BEING ABOLISHED
District Officials So Convinc-
ed by House Commit
tee Report.

From the testimony of Herbert j.
Browne, the realty expert employed by
the subcommittee of the House District
Committee, to aid in its investigation Of
the taxation methods officials OF the
District are convinced that the COM
mittee's report is intended as an enter
ing wedge to the abrogation of the
half-and-half principle.
One of the findings of the committee
is that real property in the District is
assessed $414 600 below its true value
the true value being $744, 4,OOe, 900; while
the assessment Is only $3.50, 100000. The
committee recommends the repeal of
the fixed tax rate of ~ per cent leav-
ing the rate to be fixed annually by
the requirements of the budget, coupled
with a full value assessment. Accept
ing the committees estimate of $44,-
600 900 as correct the taxes in real es-
at the rate of IN per cent would be
311, 10000.
, Revenues from other sources are es-
timated at 81, 10000, so that the total
annual revenues of the District would
be $1S,S600O0. all of which would come
out of the pockets of the taxpayers

The statement that the District has
sufficient property TO furnish all the
revenues required by the expenses of
the government was made by Mr..
Browne in his testimony before the
committee concerning the Condemna-
tion of the sife for the House office
building.
In answer TO a question of Chairman
George, as to how the condemnation
price compared to the assessment, Mr..
Browne replied:
Increasing the assessment figures
by one-half, in order to arrive at the
full valuation, of which the assessors
took under the law not less than two
thirds we find that the assessors full
valuation of the property in this
square, including improvements, was
$40S,343. The price paid for the en-
tire square. including improvements.
was $742,342. This represents an SO
per cent advance over the full valu-
alton of the assessment for taxation
and 173 per cent advance on the actual
two-thirds basis.
Means a Just Assessment.
Mr.. George-How do you account for
this very great difference?
Mr.. Browne-I account for it on the
theory that the Assessors are, and for
the last twenty years have been, con-
fronted with the obvious fact that If
they assessed the real estate Of Wash
ington adequately they would, at, the
rate of $1.5o per 800, which Is the per-
sonal property rate now assessed and
levied, produce a revenue so large as to
direct the attention of Congress to the
fact that the District of Columbia has
sufficient property to furnish all the
revenue required for the expenses of the
District Government.
Mr.. Georse-Do you mean without
calling upon the Federal Government
for one-half?
Mr.. Browne-Yes.
Mr.. George-So this would appear to
The Washington times., 1912-08-24

show that the half-and- half principle
would not be needed?
Mr.. Browne-It would certainly not
be needed at the present rate of taxa
ton, II there were an adequate as
sessment of the real estate of Washing
ton.
Mr.. George-And by adequate you
mean Just assessment under the law?
Mr.. Browne-A just assessment un-
der he law at the true value Of the
property.
Mr.. Browne gave his vocation as
principally that OF a journalist and
newspaper man."
In their statements to be later sub
mitted to the Commissioners, the as
SCISSORS will direct attention to this
feature of the committee report. Any
movement tending to the abrogation OF
the half-and-half principle is regarded
by both the Commissioners and the
board of assessors as inImical to the
welfare of Washington, and will, It Is
declared, be bitterly contested.

In the arrest of Edward johnson by
Policeman wilkinson today the police
believe that they have corraled a man
who may have a history. Johnson
came to the Hotel Rammel yesterday
afternoon carrying a suit case, which
was later found to be empty, and
asked William Rammel, one Of the
proprietors, for a room. This was as
signed him, after which he ate a ffty-
cent dinner. When payment was asked
he displayed bunch OF bank checks
which he had In his pocket, saying
that he would have them casned in
the morning, and make settlement.
Rammel, having sighted one of the
checks, suspected that something was
wrong, and undertook a quiet investl-
cation, which resulted IN a report to
the police and the arrest of Johnson.
A charge of falling to pay board bill
was lodged against him for the time,
and at a hearing in Police Court to-
day the man was bound over for five
days for further examination.
When arrested three checks were
found on Johnson's person--two for
$40 and one for $5-all drawn on local
banks and signed with a fictitiouS
name. TIE manner in which they were
filled out was decidedly crude.
johnson, who says he lives in Balti-
more, and is thirty-eight years of age,
disclaimed all knowledge Of the manner
In which the checks came into his pos
session, asserting that he had been on
a protracted spree" The police are in
clined to doubt this plea. as 1t Is not
borne out by the mans appearance, and
during the several hours he stopped at
the hotel, it is said that he did not
drink. nor did he have the appearance
of man who had been imbibing rather
freely.
In the meantime, surrounding cities
will be communicated with in an at
tempt to get at the mans record.
