CURLING RENT PROFITEERING

How far can a state or federal
government 90 in the direction OF
placing restrictions on the manner in
which a person may handle his own
property? This is question that may
be answered IL the legislature Of
Pennsylvania adopts a measure in
PRODUCED In the house The bill would
limit to ten per cent any increase IN
rent which may be made by the own
err of any dwelling property, unless
application is made to the county
court, showing the necessity Of a
higher increase and setting for the in
Vestment and returns from the prop
erty.
If the law can fix the rent which an
owner may ask for the use Of his
property, why may Il not fix the
prices which a merchant may ask for
his goods, or the value which a farm
er shall place upon Il horse which he
desires to sell? Are the property
rights IN any instance different from
the Others?
II is evident that rent profiteering
Is working injury 70 the public inter
ests by crowding families together,
hut ii is doubtful If law can in
fringe, at least in time Of peace, on
the rights Of an individual 20 admin
lister his own property according Ia
his judgement. even though his de-
mands be excessive. Another mem
her Of the Pennsylvania legislature
plans a measure that would impose n
fine of not less than $500 on the
landlord who would discriminate
against families with children, II
will be interesting TO see how far such
paternalistic legislation gets with the
courts

Should bachelors be taxed? Since
Mrs. Clara Taylor Of Washington pro-
claimed her theory that the 10000
900 single men in this country ought
to be subject to graduated tax OF
from 81 to s. year, everyone from
feminist to economist has been de-
batting the question. Such tax. Mrs.
Taylor has discovered, would yleli
the government an annual income Of
$4,000 900.
The stand Of the new women yot-

Miss Lucille Pugh, lawyer, state
their case:
There II is again the old double
standard Why should we women be

matter Of taxation any more than In

would be willing to pay 81 or 81, or
81 900 or any amount a year TO in.

It seems curious that the so-called
double standard should be lugged
from the field Of morality to that NJ

KEEPING TAB ON cmrmm.GoERs

A church in Aurora Nebraska, has
adopted a somewhat unusual meth
cd of checking up on the attendance
OF members. II is the same as used
by business concerns for keeping a
record of employees present and on
time or otherwise, but It has not been
followed long enough to determine II
strict business rules can be injected
into religion.
Each member receives a card which
is to be presented al services. An at
tendant punches the card to show
time OF attendance and character Of
service. At regular periods these
cards are gathered and the record
of the members ascertained. Any
brother or sister who has fallen be-
low fixed standard for attendance
will be called before the official hoard,
and the persuasive influence of that
body will be exercised,
The card system will work one Of
two ways-it will stimulate the at
tendance of members who do not de-
sire to he known as delinquents, or
1t will drive them from the church.
