Tenant Declares Capital
Landlords indifferent

To the Editor of The Times:
It is about time your paper
took up the campaign to have
something done about the rent
situation in this town. Here is
case in point:
A landlord has a house to rent.
The house is hardly more than
a shack at best, but with . little
care and proper fixing up can
be made fairly livable. The pros
pective tenant asks for the neces-
sary work, merely painting and
papering to be done on the int.
rior, and half Of that Is already
done, and the rest would not take
an amateur painter and paper
hanger such as the prospective
tenant half a day.
The prospect even offers to do
the work If the equipment be
supplied. Landlord says he can't
do it unless he charges more rent
and is given a written agreement
Of the occupancy for one year.
The fact is, the tenant feels that
he will buy the house In Q few
months, but the attitude of the
landlord is just indicative Of the
general practice in D. C. Is it to
the advantage Of the landlord to
keep the house occupied and in
good repair. or to allow 1t to go
vacant for a long period Of time,
and to gradually fall down about
the heads Of the type Of tenants
who are content to accept the
sort Of house that he offers?
Does he realize that people who
are content to live in o poorly
kept up house are likely to keep
UP their rent just Is poorly?
AS a property owner in . near.
by State, I know the value of
keeping someone in a house who
will appreciate Q well-kept house.
But real estate dealers here will
send you to look ct some sh0ckS
that wouldn't house . polecat
in, and charge some Of the most
outrageous rents, in the most in
different, toke-to-or-leave-it man
ner. What do We pay taxes for?

.BLOCS To FIGHT.
FOR HIGHER
TARIFFS
International News Service


Powerful Congressional blocS
we're being organized today for
tariff-tax war that may shatter
party lines and throw Congress
into an early summer turmoil.
The drive for new taxes on i'm
ported products will be launched
when Congress begins considers
ton of the Administration pro-
posal to extend $400, 100000 to
$3.50, 100000 miscellaneous sales
and excise taxes which expire on
June 80.
Demands for higher tariff
taxes on coal, lumber and oil will
be made, as well as new tariff
taxes on japanese textile imports,
eggs, butter, vegetable oils, manga
nese, fish and other products.
Long Battle Likely
The drive apparently dispelled
hope of the Administration for
extension Of the taxes without in
volving Congress in a prolonged
tax battle.
Along with the demand for
tariff-taxes will be a fight to
lower the taxes on cigarettes, auto
mobiles and similar products, and
to abolish the 1-cent Federal gaSo-
line tax.
The fact that Congress ran
away from its leaders in 1882 and
imposed tariff-taxes on oil, lum.
Der, coal and copper paved the
way for the tariff battle.
With the Administration now
negotiating reciprocal tariff treat
les, the movement menaces the en-
tire Roosevelt policy of lowering
tariffs through agreement in an
effort to stimulate international
trade.
Both Democrats and Republi-
cans are linked in the movement
to extend the present tariff taxes
to cover many products.
The situation offered New Eng.
land textile interests a golden o..
portunity to press home their
fight against Japanese inporta-
tions. Extension of the existing
taxes removed parliamentary OBJ
Stacles in the path of action on
bills placing a so per cent tariff
tax on Japanese textile imports.
Representatives of PENNSYLVANIA
coal areas planned a fight to boost
the present 50 a ton tax on i'm
ported coal to 81 a ton.

Inspired, no doubt, by last
weeks similar occurrence, an
other Baltimore and Ohio train
whistle refused to stop blowing
today when the engineer said

The engineer Of a train
from Brunswick, due in Wash
ington at 8:15 a. m. and known
as the Commuters Local"
sounded his whistle as he ap-
preached a crossing a few miles
above Silver Spring. Then he
couldn't shut it off.
AS the train passed Silver
Spring, the whistle was still
footing. Sleepy inhabitants
about to turn over for a few
more winks, were good and
mad.
Somewhere between Takoma
Park and Union Station, the
blast was silenced. A score of
telephone complaints claimed:
ITS getting to be a
racket"

MRA Extension Bill
Launched in Senate

Acceding to House pressure,
the Senate Finance Committee
today apparently assumed re.
sponsibility of launching the
Administrations controve STA |
MIRA bill through Congress.
While the House Ways and
Means Committee delayed con-
sideration Of the bill, Senator
Harrison CD, of Mississippi,
chairman Of the Senate Finance
Committee, began a drive to
get the bill before the Senate
as soon as possible"
Senator Harrison's action is
believed to be the result of fresh
appeals from House leaders for
the Senate to dispose of the bill
before the House acts. The House
wishes to avoid a bitter fight
over the legislation.

Navy Yards and arsenals to manu-

"The Navy Department ad-

secret bid after they know
what the other bids are. The
work is then done by the Gov
