property value accounts. In part, for
the large increase in property valua-
tion Shown, the bureau is careful to
state. The figures as to taxes levied
are not subject to modification, how
ever. They are totals for each state
of actual taxes paid. And they show
irrefutably that these taxes, resting
largely on real estate in each commu-
nifty, have increased more than twice
as fast as has property valuation In
the past ten years.
For every man, woman and child
in the United States there was In 1922
an average tax paid on general prop
erty" amounting to S32.22, the official
figures state. This includes taxes
levied for state governments, coun-
ties, cities. towns, villages, school dis
tricts, drainage districts and all other
civil divisions having the power to
levy taxes. These taxes, so to 80 per
cent OF which are borne in each COM
munity by real estate, reached a total
for the nation of $3,502.941,O00. In
1912 the average of the general tax
levy per capita was sI3.s1, and the
total for the United States was
s1.349,S41 900.
The average rate per 500 Of as
sessed valuation for all civil divisions
from the states down has gone up
from $1.94 in 1912 to $2.81 in 1922.
Total assessed valuation for the
United States of all property subject
to general property taxes was s124.-
616,675,000 in 1922, an average for
each person of $l,146.16. In 1912 this
total was 9.462. 1885, 600. This repre-
sents an average for each person of

HOUSING SHORTAGE

Takes Up Problem in Its

America has its housing shortage,
,ut England has perhaps worse, says

e conditions there. The new labor
government has taken up the problem
IN its relation to general business
conditions.
Never were the slums OF British
cities overcrowded as they are today.
There are twenty persons packed into
two rooms. There are families of five
living in single bedroom. The over
flow has poured into the big houses
Half of the large residences IN Brit
ain are now housing from two to
five families apiece.
Before the war per cent OF Lon
doners lived in houses with more than
six rooms, but today there are only
per cent Half of the owners OF big
houses have either made over tneir
houses into fats or taken In lodgers.
there are only $4,000 houses beng
bniit at the moment The shortage
Of houses is steadily increasing.
Promises 100000 Houses n Year.
The new labor government is prom
ising to build 100000 houses year.
1t is talking about building houses
that will cost $4,000 and rent for Sllo
i year, including taxes.
But there is a shortage of both la
bor and materials. II Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald builds 100000
houses a year he will need to nave
the magic OF an Aladdin.
There are only half as many sktited
workers in the building trades as
there were before the war: Twenty

The fact is that most of the self

carrenters and masons have either
emigrated or given up their trades
They have had enough Of Eovernm- nf
control on the one tide and trade
union control on the other.
The labor leaders in the building
trades have refused to take appren-
tices or to add to the rank and file
Of their unions. This they call dilu-
tion. They refuse even to allow ex-

Guarantees Steady Work.
The present government is oHerlng
the-n tr1,n~sntee Of steadv work on
condition that they allow non-union-
lists to work, but the labor leaders are
no. n favor of any such bargain.
They are holding up the nation to
ransom.
One difficulty at present is that
houses are too expensive. Apparently
no one in England knows how to put
up a five-room houre for $1,000.
In soma parts Of England there IS a
giut OF expensive houses. The news
papers contain pages of advertise
ments OF houses at $4,000 apiece and
up, but the demand is for $1,000
houses
Wooden houses are not allowed in

Poor Pay in Free State
Complaint Irish Doctors

Dublin. July 15-(A. I. by MaiD-
The Irish Medical Association at its
annual meeting passed a resolution
expressing the hope that no change
would be made in the system of
medical registration in the Free State
which would interfere with the right
OF medical men qualified in Ireland
to practice in Great Britain and its
dominions.
DIR. W. O'Sullivan, the president,
said that since the establishment OF
their own government the Medical
Association was not holding its own.
The dispensary doctors were treating
over 100000 people in the Free State
under the Medical Charities Acts and
received about $4,000 for their public
health work. No other country in the
world, he said paid so little. In all
the circumstances, he added, TT was
not to be wondered at that the peo-
pie of the country were physically a
third rate population when they
should be an easy first. This cond!-
ton. 1t was to be feared, would con-
tinue until they became as degener-
ate physically as the pigmy races Of
Central Africa"
