D. c. TAX RATE
DROPS, OTHERS
BOOSTED

While the average adjusted
tax rate Of 234 cities Of over
10000 population in the United
States and Canada increased from
$25.58 in 1888 to $26.37 per $1,000
Of assessed valuation in 1884, the
Washington adjusted" rate de-
creased from SIT to SIS per
thousand, data submitted to the
u. s. Chamber of Commerce,
compiled by the Detroit Bureau
Of Government Research, revealed
today.
The adjusted" tax rate is ar
rived at by taking into considera-
ton the taxing procedure Of each
locality. In some States the law
dictates that property shall be
assessed the full 100 per cent OF
its resale value, it Is explained.
Basis Not Fixed
In practice, however, according
to Chamber spokesmen, assessors
do not utilize the 100 per cent
figure but rather estimate values
on a basis of judgment arrived at
from the reports Of State tax COM
missioners.
OF the 234 comparable cities,
PIT were located in the United
States and showed an increase OF
26 cents per thousand - from
$34.3O in 1888 to $34.56 in 1884.
Citizens of Bayonne, N. j., are
the greatest tax payers, with
S44.l5 as their rate. Greensboro,
N. c., demands $1268. Jersey City,
N. j.. asks $40.69. while Akron
Ohio, exacts 1880.
The Washington rate may seem
low, but it must be borne IN nina
that other factors must be taken
into consideration in any compar.
ative tax study, the Chamber OF
Commerce men state.
They point out that whereas
the tax rates Of most cities rep
resent at least an average OF
about 33 per cent payments Tor
amortization or interest on mu'
nicipal Indebtedness, the WASH.
1ngton rate is practically divorced
from such considerations.
One Local Debt
The only local debt, it is ex-
planned, consists Of a PWA loan
Of $1,000, 900 for sewage and ap
proximately $1,300,O00 for the
Glendale Hospital. Consequently.
If the rates of other cities are
reduced by one third, more
equitable basis for comparison
may be arrived at, placing Wash
ington in less favorable light.
Meanwhile Treasury officials
report progress" ip their study
Of comparative tax rates, pr1or
to possible alterations of the Dis
trict of Columbia's assessment.

LIBERALS SEEK

FOR VETS
Militant Group Demands Re-
turn of Compensation Cut
BY Economy Act

With a militant liberal group
in Congress demanding restora-
ton of veterans benefits, cut by
the economy act, veterans lead.
ers have hopes for Senate ap-
proval despite Administration op-
position.
In an effort to defeat the liberal
drive, the Administration has
made concessions in both the
Federal pay cuts and the veterans
economy measures.
Hope For Former Scales
In view of the rising cost Of
living and devaluation of the dol
lar, the liberal group hopes to
restore the former pay scales.
On the veterans issue, the
President, by executive order, has
directed a 81 million dollar lib
eralization of the economy act.
This includes restoration Of
former compensation rates to
veterans, suffering from disabil-
tiles of service-connected origin,
and the opening of hospitals to
all veterans, unable to care for
themselves.
Presumptive Disability
On top of this, the President
has relented further in the hand.
ling of presumptive cases. Through
Senator Byrnes (D) of North
Carolina, he proposed keeping all
presumptives on the lists at Is
per cent Of their former COM
pensation, until their cases are
passed upon by review boards.
Then, if kept on the lists, the
presumptives would be paid their
old rates of compensation.
These conces esSionS nearly
matched the first three points on
the American Legion's program.
The latter, however, would order
all presumptive cases retained on
the compensation lists, unless the
government proved they were not
of Service-connected origin.
