Aa to Rent Profiteers

To the Editor Of tho Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-I have attended many meetings
of the Tenants Protective League, and
have heard many suggestions twise and
otherwise) for the solution of the rent
problem" but your line and a half
solution, appearing in Saturday S
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER. is model OF
brevity, of truth, and is altogether etfi :
cient. You say: The one effective way
of swatting the protiteer is to build more
houses
But how are we going to arrive at
this happy solution? / am sure you do
not contemplate either municipal en-
trance into the building business, nor
the forcing of builders into activity.
How. then, can we hope to swat the
profteer or provide crop of nice new
desirable dwellings?
To my mind, the process is not only
simple and easy but will be in line with
justice and morality.
Labor and materials can be procured.
Less than so per cent of Philadelphia s
area is built upon. Builders are anxi-
Gus for the return of business activity
so sadly hampered by the war. With
such a favorable condition confronting
us. why should tenants be holding pro-
test meetings and the ancient and hon
cradle business of providing homes be
under a cloud of suspicion?
The trouble is, that in the past, we
have placed premium on holding land
out of use, in other words, our taxing
program says to the idle holder of land
"As long as you hold the land idle your
taxes will remain almost stationary, but
Just as soon as you commit an improve
ment upon it, such as erecting a row or
two of dwellings, we will not only fine
or penalizc you on each and every dwell
ing erected, but we will continue that
fine every year.
The power to profitably hold land out
of use attracts the notice of protiteers.
gamblers and spectators to the rich
pickings provided by our foolish, wicked
and wasteful treatment of land, so that
by the time land comes into the build
er's possession, the price of it (Which
he is compelled to charge up to the pur-
chaser or renter of his dwellings) is so
high that only few of our citizens can
be comfortably and desirably housed.
More houses will be built when more
land is put to use, more land will be
nut to use when it becomes more profit
able to commit improvements upon it
than to hold it idle.
