SHOWS TAX IN DISTRICT
WOULD Be RAISED A HALF
E. W. Oyster Says if Prouty Amend
ment Is Adopted It Will Exceed
Most Other Cities.

Washington's per capita real estate
tax will be higher than that Of any city
in the country with the exception Of New
York and Boston should the Prouty
amendment to the George bill limiting
the tax rate to $1.5O minimum on full
value assessments be enacted into law.
according to E. W. Oyster. member of
the board of assistant assessors. Of the
District.
Following announcement that a test
vote taken by the House District commit
tee indicated that the George bill will
be reported out with the Prouty amend
ment. Mr.. Oyster today got busy with
some comparative figures to find out just
what will happen to local taxpayers II
the proposed legislation goes through.
The present per capita tax on District
real estate is $14.44. With full value as
sessment and a dollar-and-a-half rate,
the tax would be increased to $21.66, ac-
cording to the assistant assessor.
Exceeds That in Other Cities.
This amount, he points out. would be
considerably in excess of the per capita
tax paid in practically all large Ameri-
can cities, including Chicago, with a tax
of sl2.O4; Philadelphia. with s14.2s: Den
yer. with 1921: Seattle, with Sass;
Cleveland, with $11.42; Detroit, with

officials Of the assessors office believe
that should minimum rate Of $l.5O be

CHICAGO, February 27.-Possibility OF
dissolution Of the Elgin Board of Trade
by governmental order or through volun-

grand jury had listened to witnesses in
relation to alleged fixing of butter prices.
The Elgin Board Of Trade is defendant
in a dissolution suit brought by the gov
eminent. and hearing the case has been
set for next Tuesday before Judge Lands.
The principal allegation is that through
its quotation committee the board arbi-
trarily fixed the price Of butter in viola
ton of the federal law. Since the pend
ency of this suit the activity of the quo
tations committee has been eliminated.
The federal grand jury. it is understood,

that price-fixing has still been effected
through the medium of alleged wash sales
or transactions fictitious In reality. but
bearing the appearance of actual sales.

nouncement for which the country anx-
iously had been waiting.
The Daily News. in an editorial advo-
eating patience until the truth about the
killing of Benton is ascertained, says:
mo very keen eye is required to see
that the shooting of Benton is being ex-
plotted by those who are very little con-
cerned with the righting Of the wrong
but are very much concerned in hurry
ing this country into courses profitable
to their own particular interests
The Daily Express says the British
government is helpless and impotent
while the American government will not

THE Monroe doctrine and the timidity

nothing policy is very injurious to Brit
ish interests in all ways and most in
furious to the interests Of the United
