'EX TORT|ON'
PRACT|CED
Charges Tax DeIinquents Are
Victims of Inscriptions
Real Estate Men

Investigation of the practices of
"unscrupulous tax vultures" who
take advantage of the inability of
Washingtonians to pay back
taxes on time, resulting in tax
sales, was asked today of Repre-
sentative Jennings Randolph CD
of West Virginia and member of
the House District Committee and
chairman of the crime subcom-
mittee.
The request was made in a
letter sent by Joseph L. Topper,
local attorney, who declared the
District Commissioners are cogni-
zant of the wrong" and neither
urge nor encourage a change"
Mr.. Topper wrote:
"May invoke your interest
to put a stop to form Of legal
lied but shameless racketeering
now being practiced in the Dis
trict which is assuming scandal
Gus proportions.
RAPS TAX RACKET
IT refer to the unsavOry tax
sale racket. In January of each
year the Commissioners, under
Section 791 of the code, conduct
sales Of real estate for delin-
quent taxes. In the past It has
been the practice Of the Com
missioners to give the owner
some sort of warning that q
deed would be issued. That
practice has now apparently
been discontinued.
"The Commissioners, In my
opinion, are participis criHninis
in this practice, inaSmuch as
they see the wrong and neither
urge nor encourage q change.
another vicious practice has
developed in the District Of
late. Without waiting for a
tax sale, anyone can come to
the District Building, look over
the list Of delinquent tax sales
to the District itself, pick out
what looks like q cinch, pay the
face amount of taxes, get q deed
without the slightest notice to
the owner, and turn right
around and badger the owner
for a couple Of hundred.
PROPOSES REMEDY
'Ts it not seIf-evident that,
ultimately, these ransom monies
are paid by the public in the
shape of rents?
''The remedy is very simple.
The law should be amended in
the following two particulars:
"(a) The CO m m $ i OnerS
should be required to serve q
3O-day notice, either in person
or by registered mail, on the
record owner Of the property ut
his last known address, advis-
ing him of the application for
q deed by the tax purchaser.
"(b) After issuance Of o deed
by the Commissioners, the
owner should have a right Of
redemption by paying all costs,
expenses, penalties, interest plus
a definite bonus based ON q
sliding scale in relation to the
principal sum laid out by the
tax purchaser. This should be
punishment enough to any
property poor sucker and at the
same time should afford Suffi.
cient incentive to every public
spirited" and benevolent" tax
investor.
els this too much to ask for
thousands of small property
owners who have been victim.

SON IN SEARCH
FOR MOTHER

Fate played a mean trick today
on 22-year-old Russell Martin of
Chicago.
Mr.. Martins father died in Chi
cago two years ago. The father
and mother had been separated,
the young man said, and the only
way he had of communicating
with his mother was through the
general delivery in Chicago. Her
washington address was 134l K
st. S. E.
When his father died, Mr.. Mar
tin said he wired his mother he
was coming to Washington. But
because of lack of funds he had
to work his way here.
Yesterday he arrived and went
to the K Street address only to
learn his mother had moved, leav-
ing no forwarding address.
Young Martin says he has saved
q little money and wants to rent
a small apartment for his mother
and himself if he can find her.
