COUNTY SETUP
SEEN BURDEN
ON FAMILIES

This article is the third OF a
series tOrttten BY one OF the
outstanding ciUic figures OF Ar
Hnoton county.
BY ARTHUR ORR
ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Nov. 13.-The home owner,
the family head, is bearing the
heavy end of the tax burden in
Arlington.
Local tax revenues are derived
exclusively from tax upon pro-
perty owners and this tax is
borne largely by home owners.
The result is that the cost OF
local government falls diSpropor-
tionately upon a class not best
able to bear the load, since the
home owner is, as rule, also rear
ing and educating family.
In the incorporated cities OF
Virginia a quite different situation
exists. AS shown in previous
article, only 81 per cent OF local
revenues in cities are derived from
the property tax. The remainder
comes from the license taxes prl-
marily and from certain other
revenues available only to cities.
License taxes upon businesses
and professions have been imposed
by the State and by the mu-
inequalities from time immemorial.
They amount to a sale of con-
cessions to the business. Their
Justice is not disputed, although
they are in addition to property
taxes paid by those upon whom
they are levied.
These taxes may not be LEVIED
by Arlington county unless and
until the county incorporates.
Pending that time, the home
owner must continue to carry the
heavy end of the local tax burden.
The vast army of the unmarried,
most of whom are employed, es-
cape. A license tax upon moving
picture theaters, bowling alleys,
pool rooms, restaurants, and other
such enterprises would enable This
class to contribute something to-
ward the cost of government,
the benefits of which they enjoy
In common with all. A license tax
upon laundries, pawnbrokers, and
the like would reach many firms
located in the county but doing
business primarily with the peo-
pie of Washington.
A recently opened theater In
the county pays a State license
tax of $3.50. It pays no license
to the county. An Alexandra
theater, comparable in size, pays
O State license tax, amounting to
$225.75 by reason of the fact it
Is located within an incorporated
city, and a city license tax OF $286.
To whom does the theater
owner pass on this tax? To his
customers? No. The two theaterS
have the same scale of admission
prices. The difference is pocketed
by the Arlington county theater
operator, unless the landlord COB
bles it up by raising the rent. The
latter is eventually what happens.
It is what the economists calls the
unearned increment Of value.

fessional men paid. in 1885, total

N0MARGIN RISE
EXPECTED NOW

Increased margin requirements
in the immediate future are out of
the picture according to a state
ment by one in authority.
Some months ago there was
heard in local board rooms con,
siderable discussion as to possible
increase in margin requirements.
Speculation upon this possible
action by the Federal Reserve
Board died down during preelec-
ton days, but following the New
Deal victory the matter was taken
up again, especially in view of the
climb in number of stock prices
and more active trading all along
the line.
That any apprehension on the
score of immediate increased mar
gin requirements in an effort TO
slow up present market enthusl
aSm is unfounded was asserted yes.
terday by one in a position to pre-
dict with some authority.
This authority pointed to the
following comment in the current
Federal Reserve bulletin to the
effect that "Stock price increases
since April have not produced in
creased extensions of credit by
banks or brokers" as warrent for
the belief that the board does not
at the present time intend to
tighten brokers' margin require
