CAPITAL RETAIL
GAINS SEEN

The outlook for continued i'm
provement in Washington depart
ment store sales is highly en-
couraging, according to John K.
Altaus, managing director of the
Washington Retail Credit Bureau.
whose organization keeps its
fingers constantly upon the local
retail business pulse.
Increased retail sales here, &C.
cording to Director Altaus, have
brought about an increase in en-
ployment in local stores which
has added materially to earning
power and this, in turn, has been
another factor in increased buy
ing power.
That a continued increase in
local sales may well carry de-
partment store business to within
reasonable levels not far below
the 1929 highs seems within the
possibilities, with the full year
of 1886 well ahead of 1885. More
over, Director Altaus said yester-
day, improved operating condi-
tions now in evidence in the de-
partment store trade indicate
that between Is and 20 per cent
increase may reasonably be ex-
pected when returns for the full
year 1896 are available,

'TERMITE' TAX
HIT BY FORBES

B. c. Forbes, noted writer or
finance, calls the burdensome in
direct taxes of today "termite
taxes and declares they are az
insidiously dangerous to the tax
payer as these stealthy insects
are to wood. In October Cosmo
politan he says:
"Termites are tiny insects
which eat away at the vitalS
of wooden pillars and other
supports, without revealing on
the surface that they have
been working. They get you
but you can't sec them. I'm
less detected in time, they can
cause a building to collapse.
Most taxes used to be levied
direct. so we knew we were pay
ing them, but now indirect
taxes have come into vogue,
the purpose being to fool the
taxpayer cOncer ing the
amount extracted from his
pocket.
compilation shows that as
recently as 1929 and 1880, these
indirect, termite taxes supplied
only Is per cent of the Fed
eral revenue. But the present
regime in its first year, re-
sorted to collection Of 50 per
cent of its revenue by this dis.
guised method.
"The truth is you cannot eat.
you cannot sleep, you cannot
dress, sit down on a chair or
sofa, buy anything to eat or
anything to wear, travel, take
a bath, provide anything for
your children, visit a movie or
a theater, protect your family
with an insurance pOlicy-in
short you cannot move without
being taxed, taxed, taxed.
"It makes little difference
whether taxes are levied undis-
guiSedly on you or camOuflaged.
Manufacturers and other pro-
ducerS don't absorb taxes or nay
them out of their own pockets.
They couldn't; if they at
tempted to do so, they would go
bankrupt and all their employees
would be idle. OF necessity they
must pass on tax levies to pur-
chasers by charging higher
prices"

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-Extent OF
the rise in building activity in
the United States during the
first six months Of this year is
reflected in comparisons with key
indices Of business, the increase
in the value Of all building dur
ing the period being approx
mately 3.8 times the increase in
industrial production, more than
S times the increase in our ma
tional income and more than
40 times the increase in value
of all farm products. according
to the Mortgage Bankers Asso
citation of America. L. A.
Mclean, president, said:
"The increase in value Of all
building in the first six months
this year was rs per cent, while
industrial production gained
roughly about 20 per cent biased
upon the generally accepted in
dex Of 100 in 1926, national in.
come gained 14.6 per cent, and
value Of farm products gained
IL per cent. On this basis, it
would appear that new building
is the brightest spot in the bust.
ness picture. Such is not the
case, however, because the gains
being shown today, while sub
Stantial and most promising, will
have to become increasingly
larger to make up for the al.
most total lack Of new cOnstruc-
ton during the depression pc.
riOd and for some time immedi.
ately prior to that. For example,
value of new residential con.
Struction during the first six
months of 1886 gained 121 per
cent and nOn.reSidential con-
StructiOn almost 10 per cent; yet
it must be remembered that stag
nant conditions prevailing in the
building industry within recent
years have created q situation
whereby two or three years. nor.
NAL residential building is neces-
Sary to make up for the shortage
created"
