TO TAX SERVANTS
AND EMPTY ROOMS

Berlin, Dec. 31.-To make up the
deficit and at the same time to social
ize Berlin's. housing and servant prob
lem. the municipal government has
decided on a proportionately en-
orrsous tax on empty rooms and. null
tiple servants.
The tax will be something like the
income tax and it will be graded until
it is almost con9scatory. Thus,
whereas the middle class will pay 100
marks for one servant, the richer
fairilies will pay, 500 marks for a see-
,ond servant and 1000 marks each for
servants aboveSthree.
Likewiset families will be allowed
one room more than there are peo-
pie on it. hut second spare room
will cost 100 marks. The owners OF
mansions and palaces, will be forced
to- pay 10000 marks for six rooms
and 5000 TOR each roons over that.
The. government expects to raise q
few millions, or failing that. at least
to Force a division of dwellings and q
redistribution OF servantA thereby
solyinga vexing problem.

cally no important legislation will be

opinion of Howard Wood, lieutenant

The same view is expressed by many

league leaders. it is believed, will
adopt a stand pat" policy, believing
that with ,the independents in control
in the house Inc the N%onpartisans in
control of the, senate, that little party
legislation could be accomplished. It
is believed, also, that the league be-
lieves that it will be called upon to
withstand assaults upon the present
method OF organization of the state in
dustries.
We've got our program in opera

good shape to- work into a suitable

This should be done Immediately
