 Look Toward Hoover
 Congressional leaders are waiting . eagerly for some definite indication of President Hoovcr's attitude to- ward carrying the tariff debate far 1 into the regular session. It was un- derstood several weeks ago that the l chief executive froWncd upon such q procedure.
 His reported opposition 10 pro- | Iongcd tariff debate was understood to have been grounded upon a be- lief that suhch a procedure proves an unscttIing factor in general busi- ness conditions.
 The special session was particular ly notable for the number Of politi- . cal factions that asserted thcil authority in the senate and the breaking up of the top-hcavy rcpub- liCan majority.
 In addition to the coalition, q new faction sprang up in the closing days of the special session. A sizeable group of republicans principally junior members of the senate, brolls away from the "old guard" leader ship, asserted a close afiiliation witt President Hoover. and announced their intention of keeping the sen. ate in session and at work on tho tariff bill,

lease. Nathan William Mace hesney,
Of Chicago, general counsel for the
National Association Of Real Estate
Boards, in the ASSOCIATIONS brief to
Congress at the time when the 1928
revenue act was being drafted,
pointed out on behalf of the asso.
citation. that the result of the ruling
of the board of tax appeals in the
Crompton case was an injustice to
the lessor In a long-term lease.
1t is the general experience in
the real estate business. that the
amount paid as commission on a
long term lease cannot be added to
the sale price for such lease in case
1t Is disposed OF at some future
time. Unless 1t can be so added
such commission should not be
regarded as a capital expenditure
the brief pointed out.
The Board of Tax Appeals In the
case Of Mcneil versus Commits
sioner holds that there is a readily
distinguishable difference between
the situations of the lessor and
lessee in. connection with expenses
incident to the creation of lease.
hold. 1t states:
The lessor acquires nothing that
can be taken into his accounts as
a capital asset. On the contrary he
parts with something when he
sewers the lesser or alease.hold inter-
est from the greater or fee interest
Of the estate. In effect he sells the
right to use his property for a
limited term and the commission
which, he pays may very properly
be regarded as expense incident
thereto. On the other hand the
lessee acquires something which he
can take into his assets accounts.
The lessee has acquired capital
asset at a cost which he is entitled
to recover free from tax within
the period OF its useful life to him,
which is the term of the lease"

LEADERS PRAISE.
REAL ESTATE
EXCHANGE

The New York Real Estate Sc
etirities Exchange is regarded by
leading economists as an additional
unit in the country's economic sys-
tenn. according to an announcement
today.
Among numerous members of the
American Economic Association. the
chief national organization of
economists, who have expressed
this opinion to Cyrus c. Miller.
president of the exchange. are
college and university professors,
business men. writer's and Govern
meIlt officials.
A majority of the critics have
praised the liquid market which the
exchange will provide for real estate
securities as its primary benef1t to
the Investment world. Ready sale
and resale constituting liquidity Will
be the foundation for its other
services to investors and issuers Of
securities, they pointed out.
Stabilizing Effect.
Others regarded the stabilizlng
effect the exchange will have
through its daily recording of prices
and trading activities as the out.
standing influence for strengthen
ing the investment position of real
estate.
A considerable number of the econ
Omists told Mr.. Miller that protec-
ton provided by making available
information on the financial con-
dition and business history of corpo.
rations listing securities will be the
greatest service to the investing
public.
Frank A. Fall, research director
OF the National Association of Credit
Men, said: THE establishment Of the
New York Real Estate Securities
Exchange under the sponsorship of
the Real Estate Board of New York
is, in my opinion, one of the most
significant developments we have
seen in the investment field in many
years. The listing of securities of
any kind by a dependable exchange
is the investors surest defense
against Misrepresentation and fraud.

Fairfax County Income
Taxes Show Increase

FAIRFAX, Va, Aug. 31.-Fair
fax county residents, s41 in all
will pay $16,527.17 in personal in
come taxes to the State of Vir-
ginia next November, according to
the figures just compiled by Thomas
p. Chapman, deputy commissioner
of revenue for the county.
The assessments this year show
an increase of nearly $1,000 over
the preceding year when $15,673.68
was paid. This increase, together
with the steady growth in taxable
income shown for a number Of
past years, indicates that this sec.
ton is prospecting. 1t is estimated
that income taxes paid would be
doubled, IL not trebled, if it were
not for the fac: that so many of
the salaried residents of the county
are Federal employees whose income
as such is not subject to State
tax.
