Lack Of precision In developing q

sible asset into @ positive liability.
This pitfal was neatly lodged by
the declarer In today's hand.
On the opening lead, the jack
Of hearts forced South's queen. De-
clarer now counted seven tricks in
top cards. The remaining two tricks
would have to come out Of diamonds
and spades. II the diamonds could
furnish two or three more tricks,
well and good, but the development
Of the diamonds could be deferred.
The important thing was to start on
the spade suit.
Declarer, therefore, led the deuce
Of spades, bringing out the seven,
nine and queen. East returned a
heart and West was allowed to win
the trick. A third lead Of hearts
knocked out the ace and set UP a
long card in Vests hand.
South led the six Of spades and
West played the jack. The impulse
OF the hasty player would be to
cover with the ace, but this declarer
very wisely let West hold the trick.
West chashed the long heart, ON
which North discarded the four OF
clubs, the other two hands also dis
carding clubs. West then led the
club deuce, putting dummy in.
The ace Of spades was led, and
when East showed out, 1t became
clear that declarers precaution had
been necessary. Having lost two
spades and two hearts already.
South could not give up another n
order to establish q long spade.

taxed each year at the rate of
DO mills, or 4 per cent, so that
the annual tax paid on the
property is $780, The holder
of equally disable vacant land
next door only pays $40 in
taxes, so is encouraged not to
build, but to wait for increase
In land values before selling.
Let us see what would hap
pen If land values were fully
taxed. and improvements made
exempt.
Our $4,000 home would not
be taxed at all. Neither would
any further Improvements by
the owner be taxed. But the
$1,000 parcel of land on which
it stands would be assessed at
100 per cent. or $1,000, and
would be annually taxed at the
rate of so mills, or per cent
in other words, $50 would be
the tax yearly paid by the
home-builder. instead of 500
as at present. At the same
time. the holder of vacant
property next door would also
pay $50, instead of $40 as at
present.
Here are some of the results
of such system:
ID 1t would put vacant lots
into use. for there would be no
point to holding them if all of
their values We're to be taken
in taxation, and in fact to hold
h e m without improvements
would be extremely burden
some.
90 II would make ii possible
for future home builders to
acquire lots without paying any
price to present holders Of
vacant property, for with the
full value taken in taxation.
non users would be falling all
over themselves to find takers.
At the same time. the taxes
paid to the community would
not be as much as Is paid to
private holders under the pres
ent system of speculative land
values.
90 The abolition of improve
ment taxation would remove all
burdens from home builders,
and in fact would make i'm
proving, rather than holding of
vacant property the main am
bition of land owners.
"a The increase in home
building would greatly stsimu-
late the local Industries. and
make up for present slack BUSH
ness.
Such a move requires amend
ment to the state constitution.
It is time to start pushing such
a change. J. L. BUSHEY.

reservation sufficiently large for
their requirements on the MIS-

Gov. Stevens then instituted

there was evidence that Leschi

Editor. The Times: The real

Times carried an interesting
item telling about stimulus that
has been given to home builders
in New Orleans by a three
year exemption of home-build-
ers from taxation.
Tacoma and other Washing
ton cities can repeat the same
performance on even larger
scale by removing all taxation
from improvements. and placing
levies solely on land. values.
At the present time. a typi-
cal $4,000 home, on $1,000
lot, totaling $4,000 in value, is
assessed at so per cent of its
true value. or $4,000. This
