RENT Commission
IS NOW PROPOSED
Anti-Rent Profiteering Meas.
ure to Be Redrafted by
Senator Pomerene.

The Senate District subcommittee in
charge Of the Johnson anti -profteering
rent bill is seriously considering the rec
ommendation of q bill which will provide
for the appointment of a commission or
board with authority to pass upon rents
In the District of Columbia, 1t was learned
today. Failing this, it may provide for a
rent administrator with board Of ap-
peals, in which will rent the final au-
thority.
The johnson bill, which establishes a
hard and fast rule of percentage increases
in rent, it is believed by some Of the COM
mitteemen would work an injustice to
many. They feel that it would provide
too great ar increase in the rent for some
property and would prevent a just in
crease in the case of others.
They take the ground that only after
a fair investigation can these Individual
cases be settled.
There is strong opposition to having
any one man placed in position to
finally pass upon rents, and for this
may be adopted. A single rent ad-
ministrator, the senators feel, might
be inclined to allow too great increases
generally, or, on the other hand, might
hold them down to too low a figure.
The subcommittee at a meeting today
authorized Senator Pomerene to redraft
the bill. AS soon as he has completed
this work he will call the committee
together again. 1t is understood that
an administrative board to handle this
rent problem will be placed in the bill.
although Senator Pomerene declined
to go into details when asked about it
today.

NEW HUN TAXES TO TOTAL
3,162,0OO 900 MARKS

braces Extension on Business Turn
overs and Esprit Monopoly"

AMSTERDAM, April 1S.-Germany's
proposed new taxes, according to a
telegram from Berlin, are expected to
yield a total Of 3,162 900, 900 marks. OF
this sum 1000. 100000 marks will be
obtained by an extension Of the tax
on business turnovers, while S50,000.000
marks will be derived from the spirit
monopoly. With a view to preventing
evasion. persons leaving the country
must pay personal taxes for five years.
NEW YORK, April 19.-Germany will
have to observe the greatest economy,
for her national debt Is now 124,000,-
600, 900 marks, and the hour of reckon
ing will come, when there will be wall
ing and gnashing of teeth on the part
of the taxpayers. This reflection on the
German financial situation was made
in the reichstag on March / by Count
Arthur Won PosadowskyWe for
mer vice chancellor, according to the
Cologne Gazette, a copy of which has
been received here.
Talk of depriving the wealthy classes
Of part of their possessions was depre-
Gated by the count. who added:
up to a few years ago the German
cities were still paying of war debts
wars of the Napoleonic period. We
all hope that there will be no such war
as this again within a measurable
period of time. and that we will find
statesmen who will be able to guide
the country in such manner that we
will not again be involved. In that
case 1t is not necessary to redeem the
financial burden within a relatively
short period We could allow our
selves decades in which to do that"
