HOUSE AND LABOR i, PROBLEMS IN CITY
 NOT EASY ID SOLVE

How are houses to be built without workmen and how are workmen to be induced to come to Phoenix if there are no provisions made to house them?
 Those are the problems that are troubling building contractors in this city and which the chamber of com merce has been asked to help solve That the problem is not an easy one was evidenced yesterday when young man went into the office of the cham Der of commerce whistling a snatch from a popular song.
 "I am a carpenter" he announced, and l want to know if you have any apartments or light housekeeping rooms listed; most anything into which ] can crowd a family of three"
 The carpenter was informed that va cant apartments in Phoenix at this time are as rare as feathers on fish.
 But 1 have landed a job here" the young man insisted. Besides, l know other carpenters and several brick layers who will come here if they can find places to live
 You're about the twentieth appli- cant for living quarters we've had to- day the carpenter was told, and ac- cepting this as final he turned and departing left behind him the refrain of Where You Coin to Keep Em?"

ROTAR|ANS M|NCLE M|RTH AND MUSIC
 WITH THE SERIOUS

The approach of the holiday season caused the Rotary club to vary the ser ious with the humorous at the luncheon meeting yesterday. V. H. Harding was the speaker on the single serious topic. He told the Rotarians that Arizona possessed the largest single deposit of gypsum in the United States. This lies near Winkelman and MT. Harding stated that there is 80 million tons of gypsum in sight.
 How this gypsum could be developed and used in building operations to the great advantage of Arizona people, and those of Phoenix especially, was out lined by Mir. Harding.
 Then came the fun of the meeting. Charles E. Morton told why he was thankful he was florist and not a collector like Harry Shedd, although he admitted that Harry was about the best collector he knew. MT. Shedd was given an opportunity to say why he was thankful that he was a collector and not florist. all to the great enjoy ment of the Rotarians.
 Dr. Kimball Bannister then explained in detail his reasons for being thank ful that he is a physician and not an undertaken like Tom Whitney. Tom Whitney retorted with his reasons for being thankful that he remained an undertaken and that he could not be induced to become physician.
 The resigation of Max Meadors as secretary of the Rotary club was re- luctantly accepted, MT. Meadors being unable to give the necessary time from his business. Harry L. Shedd, former secretary of the club, was re-appointed to that office by President Wallace C.. Button.
 Dr. Richard C. Fowler was chairman of the day.
 Eugene Redewill delightfully."- ren- dered a violin solo to the great pleas ure of the Rotarians.

FIFTY MEN LABOR
 T0 REPAIR STORM
 DAMAGE IN TOWN

City Engineer Hitchcock kept his full crew of 50 men busy yesterday repair ing the damage to the streets caused by the heavy rains. The street de- partment answered many calls for as- sistance from those isolated by the high waters, and barricaded roads which were dangerous.
 At one place on West Van Buren street the rains washed out a deep hole into which an automobile plunged without injury to any of the occupants. Two horses, brought to pull out the automobile. became fast in the mire, and the city street department was called upon to extricate the animals and machine.
 Members of the street department worked on the Van Buren road all Thursday night and by their efforts saved it from threatened damage of large proportions. Grading on this road had just been started Thursday morning when the work was suspend ed on account of the rain
 Avery Thompson, city manager, made hourly tours of the city when the waters were threatening the low CT sections of the city during the early morning hours yesterday. While the city answered many calls for assistance from outside it's limits most of them were turned over to the county Using wagon and team of horses, members of the street depart ment removed families and household goods from houses threatened by the water.
 The unpaved streets of the city are now in very bad shape, according to l Hitchcock.

to the building program of this city are being daily turned away from this city because they cannot be taken care of, according to Harry Welch, secretary of the chamber of commerce, who urges that people, not in the habit of keeping roomers," make an ex- ception under the present conditions and make a place in their homes for people who are necessary to the prog ress of the city.
 Apartment listings are especially wanted, as at present there are none on the files at the chamber of com merce. There are also many demands for furnished rooms, furnished houses and unfurnished houses-in fact, there is a demand for almost anything that has four sheltering walls and a roof.

BOXING NDT WHOLLY
 SUPPORTED BY C|TY

In the story of the granting of per mits for boxing by the city commis- sion the other day it was merely stat ed that such a resolution had been adopted, and the inference might have been that it was by the unanimous vote of the commission.
 It was, as a matter of fact, passed over the votes of two members of the commission and against the protest of Commissioner Irvine who, with Attor- ney H. B. Wilkinson, who happened to be before the commission on other business, spoke against it.

the English and American income tax exceed the net income of the tax payer. To remedy this condition uniform practice of taxing non-resi- dent aliens should be considered and adopted at an early date by com mission composed Of representatives from all countries imposing an 1n- come tax.
 At the present time export credit is an important faotcr In the United States and anything which tends to check such credit Is disastrous to the foreign trade of this country. To satisfy the demands of American ex- porters, in many cases. 1t is necessary that foreign deposits be maintained in New York. As a matter of practice, many American exporters Insist upon receiving payment in New York for goods destined for overseas markets In order to meet this situation the foreign buyer, through his local bank, has money on deposit in New York and arranges for the seller in the United States to draw here, the New York bank debiting the foreign ac- count accordingly.

nodsties of every kind increase be- yond anything before known. In the same way extensions of credit now and in the future through foreign investments will keep those markets open for our manufacturers and trad CTS and business will tend to grow in- stead of decrease with 8 gradual re turn to normal conditions.
 "If we have faith in the future for our industry and trade, and in our economic position, we must be willing to play the constructive part, to in vest capital, and to lay the bases upon which may be built growing export trade commensurate with our position as a great nation. To do so IS good business, not only for the country as a whole but also directly or indt- rectly, for the individual-because collective prosperity usually means in dividual prosperity"
 Dual taxation can be ayerted only by the nations which impose an in- come tax, recognizing the laws of one another to the extent that income should have but one situs for the pur- pose of taxation. Under existing laws is is not an uncommon incident to see

 In part, MT. Fres says:
 Nsilitates Against Foreign Trade. "Our high taxes initiate against the expansion of our foreign trade, which at this time, is so important to the future prosperity of our in dustries
 The high rates for money which are demanded by the investor because of heavy taxation, deter us from opening commercial credits to them or from freely investing in their se- curities. In fact, our own industries are precluded from financing by bond issues, except at excessive rates, which overcome, in a measure, the tax of the individual investor, and have recently favored the raising of capital by the issue of preferred stock which Is less expensive. The high rate of return on this stock also is proving attractive now to investors who formerly would Snvest only in high-grade bonds, thus demonstrating that high rates of tax are inclined to cultivate speCulatiV tendencies rather than encourage caution and thrift. And even with the induce ment of high -eturn. capital has been. to considerable extent diverted from investment in industries to investment in securities which are exempt from tax
 Repeal Of Excess Profits Tax.
 "Cne Of the most urgent reforms in nT ', repeal Of the excess profits tax. This tax in it's present form, though prob- ably justifable as a means of raising revenue for the prosecution of the war is both unscientiIc in principle and economically unsound. Although this tax ts in the form Of a direct tax on profits, t is, in effect a most unsa tisfactory commodity tax. 4 man ufacturer, or merchant, or other busi- ness concern subject to the tax is re- Quired to estimate n advance, the amount which he Is compelled to add to the selling price Of the commodity and to pass the same on to the uIti- mate consumer, in order to protect himself against the heavy imp position Because Of the uncertainty of the determination Of tax owing to the in- tricacies and complexities of the law, 9 business concern is apt to over estimate, rather than underestimate it's liability. Tn doing this, t becomes an unintentional profteer in protect ing itself from an undue usurpatfon of Its earnings If we abolish the ex- cess profits tax. we undoubtedly will have eliminated a potent factor in the existing high cost of living.
 Credit Is the life blood of industry. If we believe in the inherent eco- homie strength of a country, we should be willing today to do our part toward it's rehabilitation or develop ment by extending credit. We believed n the justice of the cause of our lilies and in their ability to win finally. We extended credit to them and saw our sales to them of com
