HOUSE PRICES
TO STAY HIGH
Realty Operators See Nc
Reductions for at Least
Five Years.

High rents and high prices In the
building field will be felt for at
least Ave years. In the opinion of
real, estate men throughout the
country. Cheek Brothers, Column
bus. Ohio, recently sent out q ques-
tionnaire to about 1900 real estate
operators In various parts of the
country, and there seemed to be
general agreement on this opinion
The reply of z. 8. Judd, Of Chi
cago. in general, conveys the opin-
ion expressed by other operators.
Rental Of properties for hous-
ing people," he says, has Increased
over 1914 and 1915 from 20 to SO per
cent, according to location, kind of
property and various other consid-
erations. i think that rents will
continue to advance to some extent
for the next two or three years.
Principal Cost In Labor.
'T understand that about so to
IS per cent of construction cost Is
usually labor in some form. I do
not see any prospect of general re-
duction in the cost OF labor for the
next three to ive years. but on the
other hand IL does not seem to me
that labor can go much higher than
at present, as construction Is likely
to generally cease IL IL becomes
much more expensive to build
than at the present time.
THE advance in price of real es-
tate. generally speaking, IL not SO
great as the advance in labor and
commodities, and purchases made at
the present prices should prove prof.
itahle.
Downtowa Rest Decreases.
There will undoubtedly be in
creases in rental of ONCE buildings
and stores, but the shortage of that
class of property in Chicago does
not seem to be as great as the short
age of places in which people can
live.
Construction, generally speak
ing, costs twice what II did before
the war.
There will not be a general and
active demand for vacant lots until
building of residence properties 10
generally resumed. The demand for
places in which people can live com,
fortably must be satisfied soon. and
habitation construction will be re-
sumed in a large way within the
next year or two, and home sites
will then be in demand"

Now just a few facts to show the
favorable points for increasing the
city's value: s-rs
Every city's success Is measured
by the size of its Industrial pay roll
and its perpetuity. Looking on the
governmental business as a great in
dustrial plant. Washington has an
Industrial pay roll which is the envy
of many cities. 1t is a pay roll which
has the backing of the greatest pay
master In the world-Uncle Sam. II

Anyone can start slump by Sit

into everyone he sees until IL be-
comes a disease. BY the same
means, run can be started on a
bank. II someone says that a bank
Is about to fail. and everyone with

UNREST CONDITIONS
 R2MP ANT IN I50n.E.A

SEOUL, Korea, Nov. 23 (by As sociated Press.)-An example of the conditions of unrest in Korea is had in the following incident which is reported in the semi-official Seoul Press:
 An attempt was made by three Korean desperadoes in North Pyon- gan-do to seize a Korean agitator who was under police escort.
 The party was proceeding through the streets in early morn when three Koreans armed with revolvers sud denly made their appearance and attempted to recover their compa- triot, firing several shots at the policemen. The policemen, there upon, shot the prisoner dead and showed a firm determination to fight the desperadoes. The latter then took to their heels and disap- peared.

MURPHY FILES
 SUIT AGAINST
 FISH CONTAIN

Attorney General J. c. Murphy has filed complaint in the United States district court against the An nette Island Packing Company, for taxes on fish packed during 1919 which is alleged, are due the terri, tory. The case, it is stated, will perhaps be long drawn out one as two distinct issues are involved.
 In the complaint, Attorney General Murphy states the Annette Island Packing Company, duly incorporated under the laws of the state of Wash ington, and doing business in the territory of Alaska, prosecuted fish ing during 1919 and canned 2,967- cases of king or red salmon; 2,O98 cases of medium red salmon, and 76,406 cases of other kinds of sal. mon. The territory has assessed tax of 5R cents a case on the king or red salmon pack; 3R cents against the medium red pack and 3 cents a case on the other kinds of salmon.
 There is due the territory, accord ing to the complaint, the sum of $2,582.64 in taxes. The complaint says the Annette Island Packing Company has refused to pay the tax or any part of it and even refused to take out the necessary license Attorney General Murphy asks for the full amount of the tax, with in' terest at 10 per cent costs and dis bursements.
 It is further alleged in the com plaint that the Annette Island Pack ing Company maintained seven fish traps, each taxed at $1OO The com pany has refused to pay this tax amounting to $700, or any part of it.
 The territory also further wants 1,215.0f which is the amount of the annual 1 per cent income tax on the value of the pack, less operating ex- penses, etc. The company has re, fused to pay this tax or any part of it.
 John Rustgard, attorney for the Annette Island Packing Company, said the company acknowledged owing the tax but did not know to whom this money should be paid, the department of the interior or the ter ritOry of Alaska. MT. Rustgard stated that the company had been ment of the interior and it was a question whether the tax should go to the department of the interior for the Indian education fund, un- der the lease, or not. MT. Rustgard said the company would probably go into court, put up the amount of the tax alleged due and then await the outcome as to what parties involved should receive it.
 United States District Attorney James A. Smiser will probably be a party to the suit as an intervenor.
 The complaint filed is similar to those filed against other fishing com panies operating in Alaska but has a different angle to it.
