A Rent Tax Proposed.

TO the Editor Of The Star:
Instead Of quoting SO many individ-
ual cases and trying to make a law
that will TT each individual case. why
does not Congress exercise its taxing
power, which is unquestioned, in the
rent matter, and make a general law
which will fit all cases? The facts are,
as I see them, as follows: Most Of the
houses in our city are rented today at
less than they should be; that is, based
on the natural law Of cost Of land and
buildings. A minority Of the rented
houses are rented at more than they
should be and numerous persons are
charging first-class hotel rates for in
ferior quarters. l suggest a law tax
ing all rentals in excess Of 6 per cent
on real property, such tax being on
the excess over 8 per cent on two
thirds value as they are assessed.
This tax on such excess can be made
large enough to check profiteering and
it will help owners getting less than
that to get the current rate Of interest
on their Investments. And bearing, as
1t will. on all rented houses alike. the
law will be accepted by all as sharers
Of the common burdens. The tax
could be arranged on scale like the
income tax. The greater the excess
over per cent the larger percentage
of tax on such excess.

melons. which are selling wholesale
from 50 to $40 q hundred and at retail
from 80 cents to 81. are yielding farm
ers on the eastern shore from 2 to S
cents each. and on the boats that
bring them here they are sold at
prices ranging from to 20 cents.
Because. they say, there is such lit
tie profit for them in the business
farmers are ceasing to bring the
melons to port, and instead are send
ing wheat and oysters. Many of the
farmers own their own conveyances.
and rather than bring cargoes OF
watermelons that would net them
less than $50 for a two-day trip. be-
sides the cost Of raising the melons,
they are buying oysters and selling
them here. Others are letting melons
rot on the farm to bring their wheat
in on their own vessels. while hereto
fore they have let the wheat come up
on the bay steamers and have con-
tinued in the watermelon trade until
the early part Of October.

Refused Belgium Invitation.


The Belgians appealed to Mr.. Will
son. whose advice would be decisive,
to come to Belgium and see what the
country had suffered But Mr.. Will
son refused to go to Belgium in ad-
vance of the completion of the treaty,
and interpreted his mission again as
that of the world peacemaker rather
than that of the ally. He believed
that Geneva was more satisfactory as
the place of residence Of his league
of nations, and he was deaf to any
Belgian appeal based on friendship,
common participation In the war, or
sentiment
The circumstances under which the
decision was made to go to- Geneva
were such that the decision itself was
Enthusiastically a triumph for Mr.. Will
son in the conference, achieved only by
the exercise of every bit of influence he
possessed. Actually he forced a re-
luctant or a frankly hostile conference,
a clear majority Of which favored the
Belgians, to accept his will As a result
not only was Belgian affection and
gratitude for the United Sites cooled.
but Belgium very nearly left the peace
conference, as Mr.. Wilson's Paris
spokesman. Mr.. Ray Stannard Baker,
has recently told US. at the moment
when the Italians had gone home, the
Japanese were threatening to 60 and
the Rumanians were on the eve Of de-
parture.

Similar to italian.

The loss of the friendship Of the Bel
gian people, like the loss Of the friend
ship of the Italians. has been a direct
consequence Of Mr.. Wilson's interpreta-
ton of the mission at Paris. He op-
posed the French in the matter Of the
Rhine barrier and circumscribed their
part OF the Sarre Basin, after having
refused to visit their ruined regions.
His appeal to the Italian people over
the heads of their government in the
matter of Fiume alienated the vast mass
Of Italians. Opposition to the Ru-
manians. the Greeks, as well as to Bel
GUM, deprived America Of the liking Of
these small countries as well In the
case of Italy no fair-minded man can
question the Presidents correctness Of
view. In the case Of France it il less
simple to pass judgment, but in the
case of Belgium 1t is difficult to under
stand the Presidents course, which
made enemies out of grateful friends,
succeeded only by the use of force in
coercing majority into a decision
against their judgment or their will,
and in the end reached q decision in
favor Of an unsuitable place Of resi-
dence.
1t is to be hoped that the American
support will now go to the Belgian claim
repairing the mistake made in Paris and
that the effect Of this change in position
will remove the bitterness created by
that earlier course.
