Good Time to Stimulate

Good Tune to Stimulate
There Is no better time to
stimulate city planning than
during such a period as the
present." said Potter. There
will probably be interruption
of certain normal urban con-
structiOn and of extension of
municipal facilities, In Difference
to the necessity for devoting
our whole energies and all our
resources to the attainment of
total defense. Actual municipal
improvements must give way to
national emergency.
It Is of great Importance
that we guide the emergency
measures into line with the
city's long term needs. At
such a time. fundamental plans
may well he made. They GER
tainly should he made, to this
end.
Great Opportunity Offered
"City planning commissions
have a great opportunity. and
sould recognize IL ut once.
I'VE know II Is now unavold-
able that enormous new taxes
must be levied to pay for our
great defense program. All
recognize that the local tax
burden upon real estate has
been far too heavy, and that
II takes n far higher percentage
of actual net profits from real
estate operation than Is taken
by taxation from profits pro-
duced in any other field Of en-
deavor.
"In all fairness, therefore,
those who have the response
bility of levying should recog-
nize that real estate Is entitled
to preferred treatment.
Owners Not Complaining
This does not mean that the
owners OF real estate want to
shirk or even to complain about
the levyIng Of this new burden.
II means only this, the add
tionaI taxes will he levied nv
the federal government. which
additionally has avoided any
sort of direct tax upon real
estate. This field being re-
served by states, counties,
municipalities and other sub
divisions of local government.
THE additional taxes under
such a division will normally fall
less heavily upon real estate
than upon other forms of
wealth. The situation there
fore does present an opportunity
to equaliZe, at least In part.
what has hitherto for long been
an unequal distribution OF the
burden of taxation, Its dispro-
portionate burden upon real
estate as against other forms Of
wealth and business enterprise.
ct Is important that Con-
gress keep this in mind. And
II Is important that state
legislatures and the governing
bodies of our cities hold In mind
the necessity for keeping local
taxes at no higher than their
present levels. We must avoid
all increases thereon during
this period OF national emer-
gency and Of necessarily UMPIRE
cedented national taxes"
