SUGGESTION OF CHANGE
IN INTANGIBLE TAX LAW
John M. Burkett, Washington Prop
erty Owner, Outlines His Views
to Representative Page.

A suggestion for an amendment to
the proposed tax on intangible property
has been made to Representative Page
of North Carolina, chairman Of the
House subcommittee in charge of the
District bill, the suggestion being to
follow the example of the Indiana law
and make certain exemptions on mort
gagged property.
According to John NJ. Burkett, a
property owner of this city. who has
written letter to Mr.. Page on the sub
ject, the Indiana law reads:
That any person being the owner of
in the state of Indiana and being in
debted in any sum secured by mort
gage upon real estate may have the
amount of such Indebtedness. not ex-
ceeding 800 existing and unpaid upon
the 1st day OF April of any year, de-
Quoted from the assessed valuation of
the mortgaged premises for that year"
Comments on Indiana Law.
In calling attention to the Indiana
law, which prevents a double tax on
TT is obvious that any tax on mort
cages or trusts will be borne by the
owners and occupants of the mortgaged
homes in the form of increased interest
rates and rents If,a law taxing in
tangible property of this nature Is to
be enacted. will you please allow me to
suggest the passage of law exempt
ing from taxation the interest in such
property represented by the unpaid in
debtedness of record?
"A law applicable TO the District OF
Columbia relieving the property owner
of the amount of taxes equal to four
tenths of l per cent of the amount rep
resenting any unpaid Indebtedness Sc
cured on the property would seem
equitable II the note holder is to be
taxed four-tenths of 1 per cent on his
moneys and credits, as proposed by the
Senate"
