CHICAGO TAKES ACTION
ON RENT PRUfITEERING

oH a nc a01X LFb@4
CHICAGS, April 16-This city is at
tempting to prevent rent prohteering
by regulating increases in rates and by
organizing a 500. 900, 900 corporation
TO build homes and sell them on easy
payments. Meanwhile Chicago's fiat
jewellers have been forming unions to
wage war on alleged profteering land
lords m commIttees in the city coun-
Gil have been investigating increases in
rents ranging up to loo n cven zoe
per cent.
Several hundred families have solv-
ed their individual housing problems
by making their homes in house boats
river, the Calumet and lakes in south
Chicago. Once in possession of n
house boat, the owner only has to pay
81 a month for the privilege of moor
ing his craft. If he does not like his
location he can move his home beat
elewhere. Many of these boats cost
$1,000 each and have five rooms, par
lor. dining room. kitchen and two
bedrooms.
In some cases groups of tenants
have solved the rent problem by form
ing cooperative companies and buy
ing the apartment houses in which
they live.
The housing corporation, which has
been financed by banks and business
men, has under consideration a plan to
build q row of model homes IN Grant
Park, on The lake front. Examples of
many types of standardized homes
would be erected furnished an dsur-
rounded by setting trees and shrub
berry so that a prospective purchaser
of q new home could look over the
styles before placing his order.
Attempts have been made to check
rent profiteers by cooperation of the
city council and the Cook County Real
Estate Board which Investigated com
plants and. when increases were
found to be excessive, advised the
landlord to withdraw his demands. In
general the investigators have allowed
an increase of about 80 per cent. over
last years rentals.
A proposal was made to erect,
scores of portable houses but the car
penters' union declared Its opposition
to that plan even if the houses came
from union factories.

cIsEAsER 10 PAY TAXES VOW
~ Trpassrer ExpIslns Folly u
= Paying Five Per Cent

II some .unacc0untable manner
the suppression seems TO have got out
that Il II cheaper to pay the penalty
f0Y not paying one-haif 1920 tax by
December goth than TO borrow the
sD6Rey for that purpose. This wrong,
~ tAs penalty Is Ave per cent on the
whols tax. That is, II ones tax
6seunts TO 500 the penalty for net
\ paylag. one-half Of 1t or $50 by DSS.
46{h viii be IS. In other words one
would be paying IS for the use Of
$40 Tor six months and which is
equivalent to paying interest at the
rate OF 20 per cent.
Z The five per cent penalty is added
to the tax roll on Dec. 81. This
means that II man borrows money
and pays, half his tax now he Will
pay 9 per cent interest on $50 he
has borrowed at the bank, say for 90
days, or 81. II he fails to pay half
shis taxes before Dec. Fl he must
pay: IS penalty, assuming that his
taxes were 800, because the penalty
! n levied on the total amount.
" There is another side to 1t also,
county treasurer pointed out. The
county must have funds otherwise
warrants are stamped UNPAID for
want of funds" and carry interest
at 9 per. cent. This adds to the
county's indebtedness and must in
crease the taxes on the following
year.
As an example Of the erroneous
reports which have been spread
about regarding the payment Of taxes
the treasurer cited the statement of
a citizen attributed to a banker in
the county. He came to the court
mouse and said a banker there had
told him the county had arranged to
accept farmers notes when they
didn't have ready cash.
