DOUBLING TAX. HALVING RENT
CITED BY PROPERTY OWNERS
Takoma Park Man Outlines Own Ex-
perience to Senator King in Charging
Levies Are Excessive.

In a plea to the Senate District Com
mittee today to tighten the tax burden
in Washington, a property owner cites
one instance in which the real estate
tax on a dwelling has been more than
doubled since the war. while the rent
received from 1t has been cut approx
mately in half.
Willard Allen Colcord OF 100 Albany
avenue. Takoma Park. Nd. wrote to
Chairman King. outlining his exper-
fence as taxpayer on piece of rental
property he owns in the District, in
support of his claim that the taxes
are too high.
Il am perplexed over the exhorbitant
taxes on my property. and as chairman
OF the Senate District Committee, wish
to appeal to you for relief" Mr.. Col
cord wrote He explained that the
dwelling was purchased in 1918, and
for three years the family occupied 1t
as home. Since 1921 1t has been
rented out. and during that time, he
declares. the District real estate tax has
been going up steadily, while the rental
received from the property has been
coming down.
A table included in the letter by Mr..
Colcord shows the following comparison

Shoes in South.
NJ the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. May 23.-Secretary Of
Labor Frances Perkins declared yester-
day that the administration program Of
STRENGTHENING consumers buying power
may build up "a new kind of civiliza-
ton" She addressed the girls work
section of the Welfare Council OF New
York City.
I'VE recognize" she said, that our
mass production system cannot go on
unless we consciously build up the pur-
chasing power Of the people who work
in this country, and We are recognizing
that out of the building up of this
purchasing power-by artificial or other
means-may come a blessing beyond
anything we in our generation have
ever dared to dream of"
AS an example Miss Perkins cited
the South as market for shoes.
Those of you who have lived all
your lives in communities where the
wearing of shoes is a commonplace,
Miss Perkins said, have, perhaps, for
gotten how important and significant
a social contribution are shoes. When
you realize the whole South of this
country is an untapped market for
shoes, you realize we haven't yet
reached the end of the social benefits
and the social goods that may come
from the further development of the
production system on bssis of
consuming power in the South which
will make possible the universal use OF
shoes in the South.
II have said in the last few weeks,
as we have been discussing the bills in
Washington which have been proposed
for the revival of industry and which
among other things provide for the
fixing Of hours of work and for the
fixing of minimum rates of pay, that
II the minimum rates of pay and the
hours of work could be fixed in the
Southern mills and in the Southern
employments generally those who
wanted to get rich quick ought to buy
q shoe factory, for the opportunity Of
buying shoes by people who may have
their wages for the first time In gen.
Grafton come up to the level Of living
wages is perfectly enormous, and a
social revolution can take place if you
put shoes on the people Of the South"

Martha's Vineyard Midgets

SftC 3Us ~ oo~CtCO/
1t is probable that Martha's s
Vineyard will be represented at
the Century Of Progress Expo
sition in Chicago this summer
by the diminutive Adams sisters.
Miss Lucy, forty-nine inches tall,
and Miss Sarah, forty-six inches
tall, have had a pressing invita-
tion to join the midget village at
the exposition.
Replying to the first invita-
tion they cited the religious
scruples which made it impos-
sible for them to consider Sun
day performances. Since then
the management has conceded
them the right to have their
Sundays free of engagements,
although it requests that they be
on the grounds on that day. The
sisters have not yet made up
their minds.
"All your little friends will be
here and will be anxious to see
|you," came the word from Chi
cago, but the sisters, mindful of
the passage of time since their
winter with Barnum & Bailey
and their intimate acquaintance
with the world famous Tom
Thumb and his wife point out
that most of their midget con-
temporaries are no longer ac-
tive, or have died.
They rather expect, however,
that if they journey to the Mid
die West they will be greeted by
Captain Liable and his wife,
Major Doyle, and possibly Jen-
ME Quigley, a midget singer who
lives in Chicago, all of them
friends of that earlier day when
they travelled up and down the
