0NE-SIXTH OF RENT
| PAID OUT IN TAXES
Survey in New York Shows Heavy
Burden on Property Owner
and Renter.

0ne-sixth Of all money received by
over to the city government in taxes
under the present local tax situation
in New York city, according to the
findings of an investigation by the
Merchants Association of New York.
Findings of the investigation will
be significant in other cities
where real estate board. under the
leadership Of the National Association
OF Real Estate Boards. are carrying
on campaigns for reduction of the To-
cal as well as the national tax bur-
den.
state and national taxes have been
large contributing factor in the
housing shortage. Lewis L; Pierson.
president of the Merchants Associa-
tion, asserts on the face of facts
brought out by the Investigation.
IaXes on land have increase the
cost OF the property on which houses
can be built" Mr.. Pierson brings out.
IaXes on the iumberman and on the
the cost of the floors and walls.
IaNes on steel and iron have in
creased the cost of the metal going
lnto the house. Taxes on the manu-
facturer of tiles have increased the
cost of the roof. Taxes on the manu-
nxtureS have Increased the cost OF
the interior.
And whether the man who occu-
pies the house purchases il or rents
IL. he must pay not only for the ac-
tual labor and material in the build
ing. but also for an Invisible but eX-

Change in Basic Date asked
For Appraisal Of Real Estate
Real Estate Boards Present
Brief to House Ways and Means
Committee Urging More.

Change of basic date for apprais-
ing real estate values for taxation
purposes is urged as the most impor-
! tant change that can be effected in
j the administrative features of the
| revenue act, in brief just presented
| to the ways and means committee
of the House Of Representatives by
; the National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards.
Going back eleven years to estab-
lish valuation, as is done in some
places, breeds uncertainty, dishonesty
and inequality and retards the free
trading in real estate that builds
cities, the association charges.
! G. c. Heat of Louisville, chairman
Of the associations committee on tax
alton, presented the brief. The as
! sociation asks that the date at which
the fair market value of property
owned for considerable period shall
be liked for tax purposes be changed
or, preferably, that it be fixed at a
J time four years antedating the sale.
! 1T is practical impossibility to
arrive now at anything like exact
years ago, the brief charges The
present provision of the law promotes
! dishonesty and inequality. It's ef-
! feet is to retard the sale Of real es-
! tate, resulting in the cramping of
| the normal and orderly development
| Of our cities and making real estate
frozen commodity instead of a
! liquid one when liquidity is so de-
| sirablc.
Has Prevented Sales.
| Most men are afraid of uncertain
; ty, and the uncertainty as to the tax
! to be paid under the present law
! has prevented making many sales in
| every city in the country. The law
: has resulted in the making of many
: leases on downtown property running
! from fifty to ninety years, thus tying
: up property and preventing that free
! alienation of real estate which our
public policy has always demanded"
, Moving up the date so it would be
necessary to go back only four years
! in fixing values would result in in
creased rather than decreased reve-
nue., the association holds. While
each transaction would yield less tax,

Status of Property.
In further ironing out of impracit-
ca BILE and vcXatiouS kinks in the rev.
enue act the association asks:
/. That residential property he given
exactly the same status IS business
or investment property. both In tn.
matter of exchanges and in reckoning
capital gains under the act.
Interpretation of the existing law
by the Treasury Department denies to
one citizen the same privilege to ex-
change the residence in which he
houses his family that it grants to
another citizen with respect to the
building in which he houses his buSi-
ness, the brief points out. The effect
is to discourage home ownership.
2. That the owner of real estate
which is taken by condemnation pro-
ceedinSS be permitted to reinvcst the
proceeds in other real estate of any
Kind without becoming liable for any
tax
Under the present ruling of the
Treasury Department in order to get
advantage of the provision Of the law
the owner who has an office building
taken under condemnation must re-
invest in another office building. II
he invests in an apartment building
he incurs the tax.

income to eliminate any uncertainty

REAL ESTATE LEGACIES
RISE AS STOCK SINKS
Value of Two Forms of Investment
Demonstrated in Frick
Case

Experience of the estate of the late
Henry Z. Frick, steel magnate, pre-
stnts strong contrast as between
the history Of the investments in
stocks and the history of the real cs-
tate holdings, the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards points out
from Il study of the sworn report filed
by the executors in the orphans
court of Pittsburgh
While the total value Of the estate
between the time of Mr.. Frick's death
and the time of distribution has
Shrunk from $100,000.G00 to less than
SS0,0o0.000, loss of over $4,000. 900,
the rea. estate holdings were sold in
excess of the price at which they
were inventoried at the earlier date.
The Frick building. inventnricd at
S3.500,G 600, was sold for S5.000,000.
While late increases in value of
scme of the stocks making up large
part Of the estate helped to make up
some OF the large loss caused by the
shrinkage in value of the securities
and stocks, the real estate holdings
met with no shrinkage, and helped
swell the value of the estate.

CODY'S YOUTHFUL PRISONERS
ESCAPE = ARE RECAPTURED

Johnnie Noonan arrived in Park
county Monday in the custody of
Sheriff LOOMS, but as he neared his
former home his reluctance to face
his former friends proved toe great
and near Ralston he gave the sher-
iff the slip and struck out into the
waste lands north of Eagles nest
with freedom ahead and the sheriff
in pursuit. He was retaken the
same evening and now is lodging
al the county Jail awaiting a hear
ing before Judge P. w. Metz who
will probably be here next week.
After considerable legal difficult
ties and going through two court
skirmishes in Chicago Loomis was
at last delivered his prisoner and
had him safely on the Cody-Fran-
ME train and this side of Ralston
when Noonan got restless" Ac-
cording to Mr.. LOOMS his prisoner
asked to be permitted to go to the
lavatory, and managed to get into
the little room and slip the bolt
before his purpose was apparent.
Loomis Immediately became alarmed
and watched out the side of the
train to see if his man would at
tempt to escape, which he asserts
must have been made Immediately
after the boy went into the lavatory

additional SIS per acre tax to com

on the project. The matter was put
before the farmers at a mass meet

steps will be taken are under ad-
visement. The advantage of voting
the additional bonds at this time is
stressed by the fact that the present
