TAKING PROGRAM
WIDELY FAVORED
State Real Estate ASsoCia.
tions Adopting Ma
,tionaI View.

Shaping legislative attack for a
more equitable tax system, State real
estate associations in current annual
conventions are putting into action
the program advanced by the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards. This includes an overall limi-
tation on the total tax leviable on real
estate, widening of the base for school
costs, and effectuation of the princi-
pie that income of real estate should
be major consideration in arriving
at It's tax valuations.
The North Carolina Association Of
Real Estate Boards makes overall
limitation on the real estate tax its ma
jor objective for the coming year, in
action taken at its recent State con-
| vention. The Texas Association Of Real
Estate Boards, which. recently reaf-
frmed its stand for such an overall
limitation, elected as its president the
leader of its tax fight and At its con-
vention sponsored the organization Of
Statewide association Of the owners
of real property, whom it asks to en-
list with it to the end that the cost
of local and State government may
be more equitably distributed. The
Florida Real Estate Association con-
tinues its strong commitment to an
overall tax limit.
The Pennsylvania Real Estate AS
sociation, which has been working in
cooperation with a Joint Tax Con-
ference, at its convention centered dis
cussion on taxation, preparing for in
PRODUCTION of a major tax proposal
for real estate relief at the coming
legislative session. The Louisiana Real
Estate Association again states its ap-
proval of the principle of overall limi-
tation. 1t asks its Legislature also to
make clear in the States assessment
laws the principle that annual income
of real estate be the basis for arriv-
ing at tax valuations.
Valuation Issue Live.
In more than half the States valu-
alton of real estate for taxation on the
basis of productivity or income is a
live issue.
1T is possible to reduce real estate
taxes to a fair amount, protect them
against being increased later, and at
the same time force a readjustment OF
our entire tax system so that the cost
of government is spread equitably over
all forms OF wealth and all citizens.
This is the goal of the program Of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards. 1t is being reached in many
States, and this despite the wiles of
the tax spenders. many and varied as
| they are
So Paul E. Stark, Madison, Wis,
chairman of the associations Ma
tional Committee on Real Estate Tax
| alton, states:
The committee. reporting to the
Sout, east Regional Convention Of
Realtors just closed at Atlanta, points
out that major results Of overall tax
limitation. which has been put into
practice in eight States, have been
| threefold-
/. Real estate taxes have been re-
! duced-a total annual reduction OF
nearly a quarter billion dollars-and
protected against further increases.
2. The tax base has been broad
ened so that virtually all forms of
wealth are taxed instead of one alone
carrying the major load.

An almost inexhaustible list of great
Industries which the paint manufac-
turers supply with paint and finishes
can be drawn up. Included in the
list are barrel, box and steel drum
makers, the textile trades, boiler
makers, the collieries, furniture manu-
facturers, fiber board and leather cloth
makers, the wallpaper and printing
trades, rubber ball and flooring manu-
facturers, toy manufacturers and wood

In Ohio nearly 10 years. And so

which have overall property tax
limitations total nearly a quarter
billion dollars annually. Here is the

"The spenders of tax money. not
unnaturally, are likely to frown on
the idea of a limit on the total
taxes which may be levied against
real estate. This is one of the most
potent arguments in its favor" Mr..
Stark adds: Experience has taught
that overall limitation actually
limits, actually reduces real estate
taxes, actually spreads the cost of
government over a wider base"

Solution to Previous Contract Problem


 You cannot bid all the hands correctly. Sometimes it is very difficult to. determine whether 10 play the hand at four in a major or three no trump.
 Over South's spade bid in to- days hand, North's response of two hearts is natural, but now South IS confronted with the prob- lem, should he bid three dla- monds? I believe he should, hop ing that, if his partner has the club suit stopped, he will bid three no trump.
 If South, bids two no trump, talk ing a chance that they have the clubs stopped, or supports the hearts, they are going to arrive at game in hearts; but if he does bid three diamonds, North without a minutes hesitation will go to three no trump. He has a fit in

of trumps is in the dummy, East can make only one. trump trick, but if he can kill one of those. hon. ors in dummy, it might be possible for him to get two trump tricks and defeat the contract.
 When West shows up with the ace and queen of clubs, the bidding practically marks North with the ace of spades, therefore a spade trick cannot be looked for. "
 Overtakes the queen of clubs with the king and lay down an- other club. If the ideclarer does not ruff in dummy with the ace of hearts, then West will make a trump trick: but if South does ruff, then East will make two trump tricks. .,,-. ,.'-
 Either way, the contract is de- feated one trick. l.; 'ls.
