ment valuation. like Illinois. Iowa.
South Carolina, Florida, etc.
IL the exact relation u assessed to
true valuation of property were ad-
mitted or proved in every city, then
the marriage of the taxrate to the
true assessment would produce as off
spring the truth in regard to the COM
parative taX-burden of cities.
But though the reported percentage
relation of assessed to true value of
property ranges from 20 to over 80
per cent. where by law it should be
100 per cent, the degrees of admitted
divergence from the legal 100 per cent
vary so widely in truthfulness and ac-
curacy that the readjusted tax-rate re-
mains misleading and unreliable.
Nevertheless. it is the purpose of
these articles to use both the tax.rate
yardstick and the total and per capita
taX'levy yartlstick to measure the
comparative tax.burdens of cities.
Washington contends that by either
nlethOd OF measurement its taX-burden
of S4S.?l per capita tax levy, based OH
Sl1 per thousand tax-rate. levied on
one of the highest and fullest assess
ments known among our cities, is
adequate. and i'm view of the peculiar
disabilities under which the District

NAVY STATIONS FIGHT

Commandants to Listen In to Try
to Find True Sources
of Trouble.

A counter publicity campaign to
exculpate Navy radio stations gen
orally from unjustified charges of in
reference with broadcast entertain
ment programs has been inaugurated
by direction Of Capt. Ridley Mclean,
chief of Navy radio.
Commandants of all stations op-
Grating powerful radio sets have been
urged to work out plans for 'listen-
ing in" on the broadcast wave bands
and locating interferences of which
the radio public has complained.
During the recent international
broadcasting week a special board ap-
pointed by the commandant of the
submarine base at New London,
Conn. devoted nine nights to caves
dropping on the radio broadcast wave
bands and succeeded in tracing all
but two of the numerous alleged
Navy set interferences to other
causes.

Repairs to the Alaskan have been
