1T must be remembered that
there is a tax on the buildings as
well as on the earnings of real
estate. So great was this burden
that people were not justified in put
ting their money in new structures.
There is a tax on the land and an
additional tax on the income. The
taxes on incomes from realty have
advanced and advanced. 1t isn't
right. 1t should be shifted to some
other form OF taxation on other
things.
Wants Weight shifted.
4 do not intend that real estate
should be exempted from the bur
dens of taxation, but some of the
present weight must be lifted if
realtors are to properly perform
their duty of housing the people
There is growing disposition in
all cities not only to increase the
tax rate on real estate, but a ten
denCy to increase the assessment on
which the taxes are computed There
should be some scientific way of ad-
justing the taxes so as to relieve
realty of some Of this weight. 1t is
only just, and must be brought
about II there is to be anv hone Of
keeping down rents. Rent restrfc-
tions and high taxes are doing much
to sti1e building operations This
condition certainly does discourage
production of houses. 1t cannot he
viewed in any other way.
Rents will be high until real

estate is relieved of some of it's bur
dens. Everything in connection
with the maintenance of a building
has gone up. Property owners who
rent must make their rents high
enough to pay the expenses of main
tenanCe and leave a fair net earn
ing. A property owner today must
get at least II per cent on the pres
ent-day reproduction cost of the
property in order to get a per cent
net return. In the cost Of apart
ments, the owner must collect at
least IS or 20 per cent in order to
realize the 7 or per cent net which
money is paying in other fields.
Rental Advances Urged.
In my view and observations. the
quickest way for aenants to gel
rents below the present-day scale
is to encourage rental advances as
rapidly as possible BY encouraC-
ing such program, it will encou-
age and increase the production Of
homes. This, in my estimation is
the only sound method for obrxining
a reduction in rentals. 1t comes
back to the old natural law Of SUD-
ply and demand Low rentals can
not be gotten in any other way
I think Washington is going to
have greater influx of people in
1921 than it has ever experienced
in tn" past twenty-five years. The

resort TO another means. He took out
