STATES MORTGAGE
TAX IS UNJUST
LEROY BROWN TO BRING NEW
YORK PLAN To ATTENTION
OF REAL ESTATE EN-
CHANGE.

A matter OF the greatest Importance
to real estate men and property
owners generally Will be brought to
the attention OF the board of man
ayers of the Richmond Real Estate
Exchange at the meeting Tuesday
morning.
Leroy Brown. q prominent member
OF the exchange. who has just re-
turned from a ten-day yachting trip
with some millionaire friends, among
whom was a Brooklyn real estate
man. learned something on the trip
which he believes will accrue to the
benefit of the clan, and which he be-
lieyes should be taken before the next
general asse mbly Of Virginia. He be-
lieves the matter will he threshed out
after he shows the Richmond real
estate men how New York does it.
In New York, MI Brown says,
mortgages are not taxed annually al
they are in this State. but there is a
straight tax OF one-haf of one per
cent charged and paid when the In
strnment is recorded. That ends this
matter and the state il assured Of
payment of every dollar of tax on the
mortgage. The Virginia tax. he de-
ciares, is unjust and unreasonable
and the State IS losing much by reason
of liz because il is continually and
constantly evaded. He believes an
amendment 10 the present law. OF
rather u complete change of law
modelled after the New York statute.
will result in the turning loose of q
great deal of money in the real es-
tate market which is now withheld
because the lenders and spectators
do not want to pay this unjust tax.
1t is probable that some action will
be taken In the premises Tuesday
after Mr.. Brown has laid the matter
before the members of the exchange

4 FEW BIG DEALS
IN REAL ESTATE
INCLEMENT WEATHER INTER-
FERED CONSIDERABLY WITH
THE WEEKS BUSINESS.
OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
ALL THE AGENTS EXPECTING An
EARLY REVIVAL OF FALL
TRADE-soME OF THE IN
TEREsTING DEALS

The Richmond real estate market
some of the agents are remarking on
quiet times--not one of them is ever
pessimestio--and the next week the
same set are beaming with smiles and
handing the reporter out an interest
ing lot of dope about the conforta'
BILE weeks business. However. 1t Is
the consensus of opinion that within
a very few weeks all will be busy.
Inquiries are good and many deals
of consequence are pending and the
promised revival of fall trade Is ex-
pected To break soon with a rush.
The weather played no unimportant
part In the situation the past week
neither real estate agents nor any
body else can accomplish much with
practically week OF rain. Satur-
day was the only fair Yesterday
was the only fair day of the six, and
nobody attempts to start. anything
on Saturday.
One Tidy Deal.
However, IL was not at all bad
not by any means. Raab & Company,
for instance, put over one deal on
Thursday that represented the udS
figure OF s52,500. T. p. Bryan was

street and IS feet on Madison. and

iers. In addition this firm sold home
or Floyd avenue and one at the north
east corner OF Hancock and Marshall.
which brought the weeks business up
to something like $4,000.
- Thompson Brown & Company,

be OF interest to the readers Of the
yirginian to know that this concern
has clients in England. France and
Italy who are interested IN Richmond
real estate.
West End Forging Ahead.
Gibbon ~ & Nuckols are still enthus-
iastic over the outlook in the West
End. particularly the Byrd park sec
ton. and their business the past week
warrants the enthusiasm. Their
weeks sales aggregated $4,000,

Governor William l.. Douglas or
Massachusetts has very decided opin-
ions in regard to the causes and
effects of the high cost of living and
of the great need for better bank
ing, currency and credit legislation.
He thinks that gold depreciation is
the worldwide cause OF high prices

lions in this country are aggravated
by bad tariff and banking legisla-
ton. He fears serious Industrial,

the cost of living has. in the last
fifteen years, risen so or 60 per cent
in this country and from 80 to 80
per cent in most other countries. The
value of farm lands In this country
has more than doubled in ten years
with more capital and greater bank
ing facilities than ever before, the
money rate of interest in now ex-
traordinarily high, while the prices
of high-grade bonds. all over the
world, are lower today than they
have been in generations. Not@ith-
standing that money wages are high
err than ever before, workingmen In
all countries are dissatisfied and dis
contented. Because of higher wages
higher materials and higher rates
for capital, the cost of production
has in most industries risen more
rapidly than have the prices OF I'm

COMPLEXION HINTS.

A French physician says the wo-
man who would have a beautiful com
pleXion must live plainly, avoiding
rich meats, greasy soups, too much
game, heavy wines and highly-season-
ed food.
Wealthy people who live highly and
dress improperly often have fine fea-
lures which are marred by miserable
complexion. Women in the middle
class of life, who live more simply and
eat palmer, simpler and more whole
some food, often have much finer COM
plexions and no not seem to grow
sallow and faded so soon. Their habit
of going to bed early and getting up
early and getting the health-givins
morning air also makes a fresher,
clearer complexion.
One can not eat and dress as one
please, regardless of the rules of
health, and have pretty complex
ion. One must live as nature says is
best, if they wish to be beautiful and
healthy.
1t is said that carrots are very good
food for the complexion, and if proper
ly cooked they are very good to eat.

ANNUAL DINNER.

With the coming of Jack Frost the
lure of the motor car and the autumn
woods is likely to lose it's fascination
and people should now be ready to
settle down and devote a little time to
philanthropic work as well as society
The annual dinner Of the Penny club
will be served Wednesday, November
the twentieth from eleven o'clock un
til one o'clock at the Pythian temple
The public should make it point to
attend. In connection with the dinner
will be a baZar The proceeds from
this event will be used toward furnish
ing the annual free Christmas dinner
to the little unfortunate children OF
this city. The Penny club is we'll
known throughout the community for
it's charitable work. These women
work hard, not only at this season of
the year but the whole year round and
many families are made comfortable
throughout the year and especially in
winter by clothing made by the nee
dies of these busy women. Nearly all
these women have families and homes
but nevertheless they find time to re-
lieve suffering and care for their fell
low men. 1t is as little as the public
can do to attend the dinner and thus
make the annual charity dinner more
successful if possible than ever before.

A PILGRIMS PRAYER.

Lord make me gentle. Since the
ways
OF earth are filled with needless
strife, =
Let me be gentle in the days
OF this, my life!
Let me go softly, SO my feet,
Noiseless, their missions may full
fill
A tranquil farer in the street
And on the hill.
Let me speak low, that they who
hear
May listen, glad of tender tone,
And they who answer, drawing
near, ~a@
May calm their own.
Lord, through a tumult Of distress
And noise and clamoring be rife,
Let me move down with gentleness
My path of life.
