thought Of the discomforts or worries
under this unjust and discriminating
and conascatory lava. law that citi-
zens Of the District can truthfully say
they had no hand or voice in making.
Certain war workers should be
housed and taken care of. and the
government Is able and. can provide
for all of its employees without con-
fscating the homes or incomes Of resi-
dent house owners and should pay
Q Rough wages for this purpose. But
what about the house owner? Will
the government look out for his pay
ments as they become DUE? Will it
pay. the c. o. d. coal bills? Not a bit
OF 1t. But it will tell him to keep 70
degrees heat for anybody that hap
pens to be living in his house, whether
they be war workers or Chinese
cooks: and II by chance a nominal
rent has been accepted for q month
or more, nos raise can be asked under
any circumstances. No matter IL the
mortgage is due and the owner goes
into the street. he cannot have. a
free hand to manage or handle his
own property or home.
Such is the situation in Washing
ton today. Is it any wonder that
newcomers walk the street and ring
door bells seeking rooms because OF
the fact that owners are afraid OF
existing laws or others. liable to be
made, that will be as bad?

Chairman Simmons said that there
remained only the gross sales taxes and

that the committee probably would be

-Four subletting Tenants.

S. S. Daish sends to The Star a copy
of a letter addressed by him to Sena-
tor Hoke Smith giving four specific
cases of "profiteering" by tenants. In
case No. l the property is rented for
$3.50 a month, the tenant sublettinS
part of the house for $50 and keeping
four rooms for herself. In case No.
the tenant pays $45 and sublets rooms
for over 500, keeping rooms for her
self. In case No. the tenant pays $50
and sublets part of the house for over
800. In case No. 4 the tenant pays
S45 and rents. part for over 800 and
keeps rooms for her own use. Mr..
Daish adds:
II venture to make the statement
that there are thousands of parallel
cases in this city. This will give you
a correct idea Of who is PROTECTING.
1t occurs to me that at least the small
property owners are being very much
vilified by applying to them the word
'profiteers.' Now, am willing to lay
before you and the public the actual
condition existing between me and my
tenants"

In furtherance of the arguments

Pherson relative to the sins of rent
actual occurrence where the owner,
securing the equity and possession,
began to remodel house in the
northwest which had been vacant for
twenty months, and in order to keep
up his payments on second trust had
to, accept an offer of about half value
for rooms on second and best floor in
the house, expecting to get full value
later on when more of the house was
ready. or to raise the rent for winter
months. This was so understood in
May. No lease was given and rent was
paid from month to month. October
came and notice was given that the
rent would be raised the LIST of No
Vernber to only two-thirdS of actual
value When November came the
owner was told that no more rent
would be paid and that you can't put
us out" These rooms were rented to
a man and his wife, not war workers,
but during the summer they had sub
let one of the rooms to two parties
and taken another one as member of
the family. making five instead of
two, using gas for cooking, water,
heat and electric lights, all paid for

as matters now stand there is no
telling how long these tenants, sub
tenants, visitor and new baby will
keep possession of these rooms, while
the owners, more than seventy years
old, have to occupy the basement on
a cement floor and no other place to
go.
The owner was told by Capt. Peyser,

better to let matters rest than to incur

there would be no need of litigation.
Especially is the point well taken by
Mr. MACPHERSON regarding that class of
houses that are heavily incumbered,
the owners depending on the incomes
for actual expenses. such as heat, light
and gas and monthly dues generally on
the second trust, besides interest on the
first trust. There are hundreds of Just

ALI But Rent Has Risen.
To the Editor of The star:

To the Editor of The star:
want to ask a question about a
proposed bill for regulating rent
profiteering by fixing a rate OF IN
over rents as they were year or so
ago. Since not a single thing that
goes into the upkeep of houses or
rooms has stopped at any sucn rate
of increase nor anything whatsoever
that one has to buy Of pay for with
the money received for rent or sale or
property, how could any such law be
just or reasonable, or any similar
law that would put an immOvaoie
price on rooms or property! HOW Tar
would the money go for the sale OF a
little home at that rate above what
1t would bring before the war struck
us? And many have Teen forced to
give up their homes TO live.
ANY one who has had 70 replen:Sh
housefurnishings of any kind or pay
the bills for hired help, paper hang
ing, plumbing, carpentering, coal,
kindling, as well as clothing, not to
mention food. knows fun we'll that he
pays not merely half as much more,
but two and three times as much, and
that there is no surety that anything
can be bought tomorrow for the
prices of today.
this most unreasonable Salisbury law.
which has worked endless injustice
to the residents who opened their
homes to so-called war workers only
to be, in many cases, grossly imposed
upon. but let it not be by fixing an
immovable rent unless the cost of
everything else is likewise fixed and
immovable.
And while 1 am about it 1 want to
thank The Star for it's splendid de-
Tense of the people of the District
against the ISLANDERS of the profiteer-
ing charge. 1t is high time defense
was made. for the Capital has suffered
at home and abroad until every new
conner as well as every old one thinks
even the lowest rent is a profiteering
price. Almost certainly, if exact cost
accounting methods were applied to
the accounts of both the big and the
little parties renting rooms or houses
to war workers. there would be some
surprises. 1t is quite possible that
no larger percentage of rent prof.
teers would be found than the food
administration has found of food
pronteers. Why not have a rent adj
ministration board to look into and
punish individual cases as reported,
similar to the food administrations?

SEALING SILOS
WITH PAPER TOP
Demonstration Agent Tells How to
Prevent Much Loss by
Simple and Cheap
Process.

]. S. Clare, demonstration agent,
says that large amount of ensilase
IS lost each year on account OF not
sealing the silos when they are filled.
Inis less eaa be largely prevented.
ANY method which prevents the air
from reaching the ensilage is to be
recommended. One very good method
is to cover the silage with roofing pa
per and on top of the paper pack
about six inches of sawdust. The roof
ing paper should be cut to fit the silo
walls as closely as possible. The pa
per should be cemented at the joints,
thus making the joints air tight. The
sawdust helps hold the paper firmly
down on top of the ensilage and keeps
tie air from circulating freely
around the walls. The sawdust packs
