Increased Home
Taxes Opposed

CHICAGO. July Is (UP).-The
Mortgage Bankers Association of
America today urg d property
owners throughout the country TO
resist any attempt by municipal
authorities TO offset wartime rev.
enue losses through increased real
estate taxation. Disclosing the
findings Of a municipal survey just
c o m p g @ d by the association,
Frederick p. Champ. president,
warned home owners that cities
and towns in the next two years
may try 10 solve their budgetary
problems by h aver taxes or
property.
'Tn recent years." Champ
said. property taxes have fur
nished an average of about 80
per cent Of total municipal rev
enues. Most current municipal
budgets were set up nearly a
year ago when present day con-
diti0ns could not be f0reseen.
Civilian defense expenditures for
m any are running fairly high.
Some are running utility serv-
ices OF new war plants The de-
cline in gasoline taxes primarily
affects the states, but some cities
have similar taxes and some col
Iect n portion of the state levy.
Thus, as often before, asses
sors and tax collectors turn their
attention to real estate" he said.
"But this time property owners
must try 20 call halt. Real
estate cannot carry a heavier
tax burden than Ii is now. Mu-
nicipal authorities must be told
'convincingly that the solution
this time isn't the easiest way
out but lies in effecting real
economies and drastic cuts in
useless and in many cases
purely poiitical-eXpenditures.
The subject of municipal real
estate taxes is expected TO be one
of the principal topics of discus
sion at the Mortgage Bankers AS
sociation's annual meeting h IT g
from September 30 10 October 2.

Play Part in Life

Although give and take play
a part in life, II is a mistake
for businessmen. in the hope
of expedient immediate results,
10 compromise on basic princi-
pies of economic freedom. II
is dangerous TO make piece
meal concessions 10 crackpots
and demagogues. instead of
standing out on the open high
ways and auditing the dishon-
est and inaccurate statements
of those who seek TO destroy
the American economic system.
What have counselled
others 10 do. l have essayed to
practice myself. For example. in
unrehearsed coast to coast
radio debates with MARKHAM and
other irreconcilable foes of the
American business system, I
have conceded nothing to preju-
dice. but demanded specific.
factual proof Of generalized ac-
cusationS. / have sought TO
demonstrate also that when a
man Judges another individual
or an institution. he is at the
same time Judging himself.
Under the American system,
every one is entitled TO freedom
OF expreSsion-and free speech
is a precious right. The present
generation has especially acute
appreciation of the privilege
because il has observed the con-
sequences of its extinction in
Axis countries.
Fair Criticism
With free speech goes the
correlative obligation for fair
criticism, a sense OF response
bility. and a fidelity 10 truth.
1t is socially necessary and
desirable TO audit glib word
mongerS and playboy critics.
The chamber Of commerce
should recognize that vastly
more than the privileges of
private business are at stake.
What is really involved is the
freedom Of the American people
in the production and exchange
of goods. The counterpart to free
private enterprise is the liberty
of the customer to select goods
and services Of his own choosing
And inextricably interviewer
with the pattern of economic
freedom are the civil and re-
ligiouS liberties of the individual.
Thus, " businessmen want
the maximum support of their
workers. customers, stockhold-
erS, and voters generally. they
should identify their new Of
fenSive with the privileges OF
the broader public.

The indispensable quality of

Obvious as that truism may
appear, IT has been overlooked
for a decade or more by first
men Of finance and industry,
who have been in retreat in

There is evidence Of a chang
