Taxpayers Oppose
SchuIte's Plan for
Higher Realty Levy
Graduated ScoIe Increase
Held Likely to Lift
Rents Z to 4 Pct.

The Washington Taxpayers As
sociation declared yesterday that
real estate tax increases proposed
by Representative Schultz, Demo-
crat, of Indiana would be unfair"
and would result in a general in
crease in rents in practically all
kinds Of property in the District"
In a letter to Commissioner Young
Rufus S. Lusk, president of the
association, pointed out that Mr..
Schultz had suggested increasing
the levy on property assessed at
$500 to $4,000 from SITS to 81
per hundred, and property assessed
at more than $4,000 to $2.25 per
hundred.
"The proposal" he said. "at least
has the merit Of novelty. As far
as can find out no such graduated
tax system exists in any American
city"
Since most apartments are as
sessed in excess of $4,000, their
owners would be forced to pay the
top rate, which Is a rise of % per
cent, he said. He added that this
would Immediately be reflected in
rents, which he contended would be
increased from two to four per cent.
The new taxes also would be re-
f1ected in the prices Of goods sold
in stores, Mr.. Lusk said. in urging
the Commissioners to vigorously
oppose this unscientific, unfair, un-
tried" proposal.
