Tax Escape

HHE report special committee which has studied the

particularly the property taxes faulty
result in plugging serious leak Of the District
It does little good to look back now but the fact is that
this leak intangible personal property taxes has
tbuted importantly to the serious financial and tax
dition with which the city is confronted.
The investigating committee found wide discrepancy
between the arrearages property and real
property taxes.
The reason for that is and has been obvious.
It is relatively easy to collect tax real estate.
The property can't be hidden and it can't be moved.
Not with the intangible personal property subject to
tax
can be and nfrequenty is shifted here and there
and concealed.
In the past the tax collectors have failed to this
property vigorously
THIS FAILURE TO COLLECT AN ADEQUATE
AMOUNT FROM THE INTANGIBLE TAX PROVISIONS
HAS RECENTLY RESULTED IN SERIOUS AND
WHAT MAY STILL BE A SUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO
SHIFT THE TAX BURDEN FROM THE SHOULDERS
OF THOSE BEST ABLE TO PAY IT TO THOSE OF
CITIZENS LEAST ABLE TO PAY.
The tax intangible property is essentially tax on the
person of wealth.
When that tax isn't collected there is additional
share for the poorer man to pay.

TRAVEL TIPS

Why is it that some travellers
go abroad, spend plenty OF money
have all the time and connections
in the world to make trip pleas
ant, yet return home diSgruntled
and tell stories of a disappointing
trip?
And then there are the other
travellers who go abroad on re.
stricted budget of expenditure and
time, but return home feeling
happy and refreshed. with the
stimulation that comes from
successful holiday, one where the
realization was at least as good as
the anticipation.
OF course, there may be many
answers to these questions since
each case is governed by an in
divldual set of circumstances. But
after a severe cross-examination
of these diSgruntled travellers, and
after viewing many of these inno-
cents far away from home, we
have discovered certain facts that
may have a bearing on some cases.
Despite all the travel books in
the world, despite the advice Of en-
lightened travellers, there are still
only too many folk who go abroad,
not only without the slightest
knowledge of the language Of the
countries to be visited, but with
out a conversation book contain
ing a list Of phrases likely to be
required.
In place Of the conversation
book, however. they have good
lungs, and their plan is to scream
English phrases at the top Of their
voice to porters, drivers and other
servants. How people who do not
understand a certain language can
more easily comprehend it when it
is vociferouSly shouted at them is
more than common sense can
fathotn.
PhraSing requests in simple Ian.
guage and in low, measured tones,
often brings immediate compre-
hension. And when a party or a
family is travelling together, choose
one to be the spokesman.
Choose the member who speaks
the best, who has perhaps some
knowledge of foreign languages
but certainly a good temper and
a good method of dealing with his
fellow men. Let the rest Of the
group remain silent.
Arguments over money and bills
have destroyed many a travel
party. So do make one member
Of your party the cashier.

1T WASN'T a pink elephant,
but it made some of those in
the Capitol brush their eyes and
look several times.
The fountain on the Plaza
between the Capitol and Union
Station was squirting pink water.
First it was very very pink then
it got somewhat lighter and
toward the end of the day the
color was almost undiscernible.
After several persons had
looked at it and decided it was
no hallucination, it was ex-
planned that a purifyer had
been put in the water. And it
was one of the most beautiful
sights seen in the city for some
time.

this verse as his closing
thought:
"A late lark twitters from the

And from the West:
Where the sun, his days work

There falls on the old gray city
An influence luminous and
serene,
A shining peace"

He brought out the fact that
borrowing by municipalities is
nothing new and is done by
almost every city in the country.
Although he went down to de-
feat along with the members Of
the District Committee who
were pushing the resolution, his
missionary work raises the hope
that with a champion the tide
against the District may be
turned.

It was big disappointment
to hundreds of visitors who
stormed the Capitol and stood
in long lines from the galleries

a chance to get in. For just
as soon as the Senate met it
adjourned.
Even some Of the Senators
