TAX GUT
URGED
Convention of Merchants
Association Asks Relief
for Products

Substantial downward revis-
ion". of taxes on tobacco and
tobacco products is to be asked
of the next Congress, according
to the provisions Of resolution
adopted at the closing session of
the fourth annual convention of
the Tobacco Merchants Associa-
ton, in the New Willard Hotel
today.
Backs Mellon Plan.
This resolution indorsed the Cool
idge-Mellon tax program, but point
ed out that time of national pros
perity was the psychological mo-
ment for the reduction of taxes.
1t was stated that the tobacco
industry shouldered its war taxes
In common with the nation as a
whole, but is "still weighed down
by the staggering burdens, although
six years have elapsed since the
end of the war"
If Congress, at the coming ses-
sion, finds it is not feasible to re-
duce the levies on all tobacco
products, the. association recon-
mends at least partial relief.
The cooperation of tobacco mer'
chants throughout the country was
asked to assist in the campaign
toward the 1essening of Federal
taxation. A copy of the resolution
is to be sent to Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon.
Another resolution adopted today
protested against discrimination
against American tobacco in foreign
countries and in holdings and de.
pencies of the United States.
Such treatment "ought not to be
countenanced by our Government, "
the resolution stated, and declared
that the association will not hesi-
tate to call instances of this kind
to the attention OF the proper Fed
eral authorities.
Other resolutions touched upon
knocking" and unfair advertising,
gloom spreading, reduction of in
ternal revenue taxes on cigars, graft
tude to the trade papers, apprecia-
tion of the services of President

Bureau Heads Would Take
Length of Service Into
Consideration

President Coolidge will be asked
to issue an executive order d.
recting that length Of service Of
Federal employees be taken into
account in making ratings. on
the basis of which employees are
listed for discharge when reduc-
tions of force are made.
This step will be taken, it was
indicated today, as result Of
approval by heads Of Government
departments and bureaus of the
longevity credits proposal sub
mitted to them by the Bureau of
Efficiency.

While all the returns are not In,
it was stated today by William II.
McReynolds, member of the bureau
OF efficiency and the personnel clas-
sification board, the replies which
have been received indicate an over
Whelming approval of the plan.
1T is felt that granting Of serv
ice credits in arriving at separation
ratings is the only just and humane
method we can employ" Mr.. Nc
Reynolds said 1T is essential to
the morale Of the service that this
step be taken.
g Under the present regulation, If
literally interpreted. years Of ex-
perience and unswerving loyalty of
the older employees count for moth
ing when discharges are to be made.

days the bright headlight situation
would adjust itself to the salts
faction of the majority Of motorists.
Arrangements are now. being
completed to have testing stations

rector Eldridge said. mo motorist

the use of glaring, binding or

any excuses or alibis.

Director Eldridge today urged
persons whose lights are not prop
erly focused to leave their machines
at home at night until adjustments
are made.
1.-The police have instructions to
make arrests for glaring head
lights" he said, land the fact that
we have given motorists to Au-

equipment, If necessary, will not
serve as an excuse.

off was made today by NJ. O..
Eldridge, Director of Traffic.
"On streets like Sixteenth, Con-

there are electric lights, bright
lights are unnecessary" Eldridge
said. 'They should be used, how
ever, on gas lighted streets and
other highways where the light

Director Eldridge also urged

Evening star., 1925-09-05
BY RUFUS S. LUSK.

The answer to the building outlook
in Washington. even after consider
able research, is not so simple. Based
on one set of figures, it is only mat
ter of months when residential build
ing in Washington must be in proper
tion to the population growth ano
demolitions of old houses.
On the other hand. if we base our
predictions of the operative BUILDING
market for the next two years upon
building from 1910 to 1917 in Wash
lngton, there might seem to be need
of an abnormal building program for
several years to come.
One is apt to be led astray by couu.
t'y-wide reports concerning whether
or not building has caught up. Wash
fngton has had a most abnormal
growth. Ordinarily our population in.
crease from 1917 to date would have
been about 13 per cent; actually the
city grew 35 per cent. Therefore, a
survey applied particularly to Wash.
ington is needed
Deals Only With Housing.
This paper will deal only with resi-
Dental building. 1t is generally CON
ceded, and quite apparent, that there
Is no unusual need for office buildings
and stores. Industrial building is of
little consequence in this city Mu-
nlctpal and governmental building is
not considered.
There is no distinction made be-
tween dwellings and apartments It
matters little whether the people buy
or rent. If there be an overproduction
in shelter, whether it be apartments
or houses, the market is bound to be
affected
All conclusions reached and predic-
tionS made have been based upon units
of housing built and not upon permit
value. Many surveys have been ba sed
upon permit value. Owing to the diff
ference in the worth of the dollar to-
day and before the war, and the un-
certainty of the actual units repre-
sented by a given amount of money,
ii was deemed best, in the interest of
accuracy, to disregard the money vol
ume of building.
No attention has been paid to the
number of houses in Washington in
any given year.
No account is taken of building on
erations in nearby Maryland and g-ir-
ginia suburbs
Housing Unit Basis
A housing unit means a, one or two
family house or an individual apart
neht- A FAMILY means As persons.
Ihey are not necessarily related. 1t
is assumed that on an average one
family occupies one housing unit.
All figures in relation to popula-
ton and size of family and to the
growth of the city have been obtained
direct from the Census Bureau and
checked with directory and telephone
company figures. All figures in ref
erence to housing units for the last
16 years have been obtained first hand
from the building inspectors office.
Building costs are taken from the
Graphic Review. published by the F.
w. Dodge Corporation. They are com
piled from figures from all over the
country. While costs may not be ex-
actly the same in Washington as
throughout the country, relatively,
over the last six years, our costs
would approximate nationwide aver
age.
We can safely assume that at the
beginning of the war there was abso-

Rents of small houses and apart
