consolidation Of the city and county of Phil

Bullitt bill. would be made by sweeping

in every ward of the city. and in conse-
quence every Republican voter of Philadel-

As a Philadelphia banker remarked when
asked for his opinion of the plan, the man
who favors it ought to be put in an inst-

them have been sentenced to Congress, but
for other reasons
There is probably financial wisdom enough
among the Congressman to prevent the
passage of any such foolish law. But so
long as men with fads can get elected or
appointed to Office we may expect to have
it urged periodically.

TO the Editor Of the Euenin1 Public Ledoer:
Sir-I have been carefully watching the
reports of the meetings of the Ways and
one in Washington Is seriously considering
lowering the limit of exemption of incomes
subject to the income tax, But no one yet
seems to have made the suggestion.
At present married men exempt on an
income of $1,000. Only about half a million
persons paid the income tax in 1916. The
number will be somewhat larger this year
There are said to be 27.000 600 families in
the United States. OF these, 14.50O,O00 have
incomes between $1,000 and $4,000. and are
exempt from the income tax. II the limit
of exemption should be reduced to $1,000 these
families would have 10 pay the tax. AS
suming that their average income is $500.
they would be taxed on $500. This would
mean the payment of an average tax of $40
a year at the present rate of per cent,
and it would raise sli5,00o,00o pretty
considerable sum. . ..
Can il he that the members of the party
which controls the Ways and Means Com
mittee are afraid to suggest taxing lf,600, 900
voters for fear of challenging their resent
ment? Do they want to 60 before the voters
in 1920 and say 10 them, I'VE resisted every
effort that was made to induce US to tax the

we're planning to do What do your readers
think? JohN LoM' .

HOW TO STOP RENT PROFITEERINC

ITJILLIAM r. NICHOLSON. Jr.. answers
/ w in another column the inquiry why
house building has stopped in Philadelphia
made on this page few days ago.
The war. he says. is primarily re-
sponsible. II has prevented the transporta
tion of building materials. 1t has absorbed
the resources of the trust companies. so
that it is no longer possible for the builders
to discount their mortgages to get cash
and it has made the material men unwilling
to carry the bills of the builders until the
houses are sold
But these reasons would not be adequate
IL there were concerted determination on
the part of the public spirited men of the
city to supply the houses needed by the
growing population. The demand for build
ings was never before so acute as az the
present moment. The plans of the Govern
ment are not broad enough to supply the
normal demand, which absorhs 1900 new
houses every year in ordinary times.
Building with private capital must continue
II the excuse for rent profiteerins is to be
removed.
The thing cannot be done, however, with
out cooperation among the bankers, the
building material men, the builders and the
Government. IF they work together the
house shortage can be made TO disappear
But that cooperation must begin at once
or conditions next winter will be much
worse than they were last winter.
