fallacy of such arguments lies in
the assumption that cost governs

shown that a 100000 cottage taste

freakish design becomes an indel-

ough, wherein Phillips, Republican

didates for the office of the council
maj for the term of three years.
On the night of the election the
election board announced the cleo
ton of Phillips. Thereafter a re-
count was made by the Middlesex

swered the charge of Mayor Hague
of Jersey City in a statement IN
which the Passaic nan denied that
the railroads and the Public Ser
vice will be the only ones to profit
by a reduction in the taxes. Evans
points out that the increased taxes
paid by these companies are al

Interstate Commerce Commission
and the Public Utility Commission
fix for the people to pay in train,
trolley, gas and electric rates.
The housing problem is unsolved

speaker-elect. Tenants are paying
enormous rents because of high
taxes. If taxes are reduced every
rent payer will profit. 1t will be
hard to convince these people that
their rent should be made higher in
order to tax the railroads.
Mr.. Hague's statement is weird.
He fails to explain to people that
the railroads don't pay the taxes at
all. The interstate Commerce Com
mission and the Public Commits
