Taxes That Should Be Cut.

Were Congress to abolish the present
tax on gross earnings of per cent on
building and loan associations. per
cent on savings banks and per cent
on national banks and trust companies
from which a tax revenue of over $780,
900 year is derived, the cost of borrow
ing soon would be 1essened by that
amount, business would be stimulated,
trade and building operations would be
benefited, and in a short time real estate
values would be favorably affected.
It is not necessary to go to New Zea-
land for examples of the beneficial effect
of lower rate of taxation OF of assess
ment on improvements than on ground
values. Houston. Tex, assesses i'm
provements at about 40 per cent of
their value and ground values at about
Is per cent. Pittsburgh and Scranton,
Pa, have a 20 per cent discriminatory
rate on improvements below that on
ground values. the state law for sec
ond-class cities providing sliding
scale of 10 per cent every three years.
until by 1925 the rate on improvements
will be only one-half that on ground
values.
The following important cities now
exempt improvements entirely from
local taxation: Sidney. New South
Wales; Aukland. New Zealand; Van
couver, Victoria, British Columbia, as
well as Alberta. Edmonton and hun
dreds of other cities, towns and rural
communities in western Canada.
Evening star., 1916-08-25
Evils of Multiple Taxation.

The abolition of the personal property
tax, the scores of petty and vexatious
business license taxes. including the va
rious automobile taxes, would be a good
thing. So would either an exemption
of improvements up to $4,000, or. still
better, the adoption of the Pittsburgh
Scranton sliding scale. All improve
ments suffer from multiple taxation.
Every item which enters into a building
has had it's price enhanced by multiple
taxation; the capital used has been
taxed in one form or another. and then
the assessment is levied against the
tax-increased valuation.
On the other hand. the selling value
of ground is the selling value of its
owners equity after the taxes are paid;
the higher the taxes the lower the SELL
ing value. Therefore, were no other
arguments adIuced. there should be a
lower rate on personally and improve
ments than on ground values, and no
taxation on intangibles or on bank
ton should be abolished in the interest
of simplicity of administration.
The business section of Washington
will never shake off its present archi-
tectural shabbiness until the taxation
Of business and of improvements drops
far below Its present paralyzing level.
Tax reformers in Washington will
welcome a full investigation Of the
whole question of the subjects of tax
alton in the District by whatever in
strumentality Congress may offer, and
would equally welcome a referendum
