living. This problem confronting congress will have two angles-to
 bring about construction of more homes and apartment houses, and to prevent the rent hogs from further .profiteering on the helpless tenant. The situation may result in fed
 eral law establishing rent commis- sions in all cities of certain popu- 'lation. Taxation, too, will be con sidered as a means of relief for the housing shortage. Federal taxes on newly constructed dwellings and
 apartments now average about 3 per
 cent of the total cost This is all
 ways tackled on the tenant. If these
 taxes were remitted, lower rents
 could certainly be secured. Where
 rents now are based on 9 per cent
 interest on the investment, 5 per cent
 of it is tax. With this tax removed
 there should be a one-third reduc-
 ton in rents by the landlords.

CHARGE HILBERT USED
 SHEARS ON HIS WIFE
CFrom Thnrsdar,s Dailvl

On complaint of his wife, Mrs. Jessie Hilbert, E. E. Hilbert, colored, yesterday was given a preliminary hearing in the justice court charged
 with attacking Mrs. Hilbert with a pair of scissors.
 Entering the hair dressing estab- lishment owned by her, Mrs. Hilbert charges, Hilbert, beginning with mere words, ran up the scale of in suit and abuse until his anger turned into action, and he then and there attacked her with a pair of scissors. Mrs. Hilbert charges that Hilbert's act was done with malice afore- thought, in that he intended not only to intimidate her to but assault her with murderous intent.
 Hilbert denies the gravity of the charge, declaring that while his emotions were disturbed, he had no idea of murder. He is being held on Sl0C0 bond pending his trial.
