Tells of Boards Patriotism.


Tells of Boards Patriotism.
President Brandenburg made reference
to the world conflict and spoke Of the
boards patriotism. He pointed out that
the Board of Trade held number Of pa
trlotic meetings during the year just
ended; that the organization had pur-
chased $4,000 of the liberty bonds and
that forty-three members of the board
have heard the nations call to the
colors.
While the world is at war and the
clash of arms and the roar of cannon
abroad may almost be heard across the
seas, our own beautiful city is appar-
emily at peace-still at the seat of gov
eminent we feel the shaking Of en-
pres" said Mr.. Brandenburg. Into
this horrible conflict, which is appall-
ing to all civilization. we. too. have
been swept. and our sons and our neigh
hors are today fighting under the glo-
rious stars and Stripes for civilization
and the protection and the independ-
ence of all of the nations of the
world"
Discusses Intangible Tax.
The speaker also told of the work
which was done by the board regard
ing the intangible tax. explaining:
ALREADY burdened with taxation
considerably in excess of that imposed
in many communities equal in popula-
ton to the District, we are confronted
! with a tax on intangibles which oper-
ates as a hardship upon our citizens
The far greater part of our people are
government employees and wage earn
ers. whose salaries have not been in
creased commensurate with the en-
HANGED cost of living or proportionate
to that paid for ordinary and skilled
labor in other communities. Upon
them the hardship is visited with a
heavy hand. for it is upon them the
burden largely rests. Without demand
or necessity and without proper con-
sideration or an opportunity to be
heard as to it's deficiencies. it became
a law. That it works distinct hard
ship upon the borrower and constitutes
il effect almost treble taxation is il
Illustrated by the fact that the purchaser
of home must first pay his real estate
tax, then an increased rate to the lend
er upon the loan secured upon the
property equivalent to the tax-and
frequently more-and lastly tax upon
his savings in bank to meet the loan at
maturity. This is only one of num-
Der of criticisms that might properly
be addressed to the wisdom of its en-
actment.

War Legislation Desired
At this point in his message. the
president proposed certain legislation
which he stated will be needed for
carrying on the purposes of the war.
Legislation which will bring to the
service Of the country those persons
and Industries required and to release
those from compulsory service whose
energies are otherwise required will
be brought before Congress, he said.
Among the legislation imperatively
required will be:
Amendments to present acts regard
ing alien enemies, imposing further
restrictions upon their freedom of
Legislation to create definite con.
troll over the rights of persons, citizens
