Special Staff Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. June 20.
"A national law to take illegiti-
mate rent profits by taxation in
any part of the country where
they are found, has been intro
duced in congress by Representa-
tive Robert M. Crosser of Ohio.
Mr.. Crosser has become famil-
lar with the subject by his work
on special committee which
deals with the affairs in the Dis
trict of Columbia and the city of
Washington.
The bill as drawn assumes
that the landlord should be sat
isfied with an increase of 10 per
cent over rents received by him
during the pre-war period. to
cover increased cost of mainte-
nance. and anything above this to
be taken over as tax to help win
the war. Speaking of the bill,
Mr.. Crosser said:
Much PrOfiteering.

Thousands of persons have
left the government service be-
cause their pay was not sufficient
to satisfy the greed of the land
lord. The same situation exists
elsewhere, and it is time to enact
legislation to prohibit such high
handed extortion.
Will Urge Measure.
II intend to push this bill in
every proper way, and hope to
get 1t up for consideration in the
house very soon.
"The committee on the District
of Columbia, of which / am q
member, has already reported
and has had passed thru the house
a bill which will overcome this
evil SO as it affects the District
of Columbia. The bill which I
have today introduced embodies
the same principles.
These profiteering landlords
belong to that class which shout
loudly about their patriotism,
while taking advantage of the
national distress to fill their
pockets with gold"
