u. S. REALTY LEADER
SCORES TAX BURDEN
William c. Miller, in Radio Ap-
peal, Urges Reduction of "0ver-
heavy, Unfair Levies."

A call for reduction in "overheavy,
unfair tax" on real estate was sounded
last night by william C. Miller, presi-
dent of the National Association Of
Real Estate Boards, In a radio address
over Nationwide hook-up of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co.
Mr.. Miller, who Is a member of the
local realtor firm of w. c. & A. N.
Miller, described real estates tax bur-
den as "a hobble which 1t ought not
to have"
The tax muddle, he said, is at present
greatly delaying the very necessary
work Of mortgage adjustment. Real
estate" he said, "once almost our
total taxable wealth, makes up now less
than half our capital assets Measured
In income, and excluding agricultural
income, real estate now accounts for
only one-tenth Of our national total.
The new kind Of wealth takes the
form of stocks, bonds. franchise privi-
leges and the like. We call that in
tangible wealth. Yet with all these
great changes we have had little change
in our tax laws. Real estate Is still
paying more than half the entire cost
of government, Federal, State and local.

Day Encouraged Adventure.
Yesterday morning, as 1t will be re-

shining, and with first one thing and
another, 1t was just the sort of day tc
encourage adventure.
Don and Tommy had canvassed the
possibilities of the neighborhood without
a great deal of success, when suddenly
what popped into mind but the allure
ments offered by carnival at Fifteenth
and H streets northeast.
Just as an offhand guess, the idea
was Don's, for he had been to the car
nival few nights ago. Anyway, the
seed was implanted, and two young men
were carnival bound.

DISPUTES HOLD
UP CONFERENCE
ON DISTRICT BILL
Battle Like Those of Former
Years Expected at Next
Meeting.
u. S. CONTRIBUTION
A MAJOR QUESTION
Park Refund Payment Also Said
to Be Source of House-Senate
Struggle.

Conferees on the 1884 District appro-
priation bill discontinued their delibera-
tions over the week end, after two
meetings on Thursday and Friday found
the House members unwilling to reach
middle ground with the Senate on
maj points of difference, such as the
Federal contribution and the annual
park refund payment.
No meeting was scheduled for yester-
day, and no definite day has been fixed
of negotiations
Present indications are that the con-
ferees are facing a battle not unlike
that Of former years. in which the
House has insisted on holding down the
Federal share, with the Senate striving
to obtain a more equitable amount. Two
years ago the Federal share was SO, ,500,-
600. Last year, recognizing the need for
economy throughout the Government
establishment due to existing condi-
tions, the Senate agreed to a compro-
mise figure of S7.775,000. And in the
original bill for 1884. which the House
blocked March 4, the conferees had
agreed on a new compromise of ST.
100000.
Revision and Economy.
The revised 1884 bill came to the
Senate few weeks ago with the Fed
eral share still further reduced to S.
100000, and with the operating al
lowances for the city cut down to such
an extent that quite a number of the
municipal departments were facing Sc
rious. difficulties to keep essential ac-
tivities going. The Senate raised the
Federal contribution to $6,250, 900 and
sought to avoid curtailment of neces-
sary functions by providing that de-
partment heads could transfer funds
from one subhead to another within
departments to take care of the most
essential activities. The Senate also
voted to permit necessary new school
and bridge construction by making
available some unexpended balances of
prior appropriations and by allowing
the city to spend more of its own gaso-
line tax money.
House Attitude Stiff.
Although even the Senate's figure OF
S6,250,000 as the Federal contribution
would be 81 ,525, 900 less than the lump
sum for the present year, reports are to
the effect that in the two conferences
held thus far the House members have
remained adamant In declining to 20
above the House figure.
With regard to the park fund issue,
the Senate struck from the bill the
annual 100000 reimbursement from
the District to the United States on
account the Capper- park
development program after 1t had been
brought out that no further Federal
advances for the program are being
made and that the District is repaying
the expenditures already made at
faster rate than was contemplated in
the beginning. This question also has
proved a stumbling block in confer
ence.
There are other differences at issue.
such as the testing laboratory for the
Highway Department, which the House
eliminated and the Senate restored
Another amendment at issue relates to
the District incinerator in the South
east section, operation of which was
prohibited by the House and restored
by the Senate.

The Senate may take up before the
end Of this week the independent Of
fees appropriation bill, carrying ap-
proximately s543, 1000, 900 for the various
independent establishments of the Gov
ernment, the greater part of which is
for the Veterans Administration.
The bill also contains number OF
general provisions relating to Govern
ment personnel. One Of these sections
as passed by the House would have ex-
posed large groups of Federal workers
from number of States and the Dis
trict of Columbia to the danger of dis
missal by providing that, in reducing
forces, departments would have to con-
slider State quotas under the appor-
tionment law. The Senate Appropria-
tions Committee modified this by re-
quiring the departments to consider
both efficiency and apportionment.
Some members Of the Senate favor
eliminating the apportionment rule for
dismissals. as was recommended by the
Senate subcommittee that drafted the
bill, but whether any effort will be
made in that direction in the Senate is
not definitely known.
Another section provides for the pay
ment of retirement annuities to Gov
ernment employees who are separated
from the service after 80 years, even
though they have not reached the reg
ular retirement age-limit AS it came
from the House. this section applied to
those 'involuntarily" separated from
the service. The Senate Committee
amended the section to allow optional
30-year retirement, which Federal
workers have been advocating for many
years. The Senate Committee added
the words, voluntarily or involun-
tarily"
Employees retired under this section
would continue to pay into the retire.
