strong demand for chickens would
continue for some time, with poul-
try prices in most instances re-

c. F Tarleton, agricultural sta
tistician, said the demand now
could be attributed to favorable
consumer inc ones and the fact
that red meat supplies now are
somewhat smaller than a year ago.
"Poultry meat supplies now are
far below requirements" he said,
adding that North Carolina cotn-
mercial hatcheries produced OF
$4,000 chicks in November, o.
only S. per cent of the record out
put of 100000 matches in Novem-

The new president will be inau-

DEP. FRED A. HARTLEY of New

DEP. FRED A. HARTLEY of New
IL Jersey has called attention to an
amazing fact-the fact that, under
the federal tax laws, the home owner
has been forgotten man.
If person-or a corporation
owns residential property which is
occupied by tenant, and from which
the owner derives revenue in rental,
that owner may deduct annually
from gross income, in making fed
erai income tax return, sum equal
to 8 per cent of the value of the
property.
This deduction represents depre-
citation.
Business concerns are also per-
mitted to make similar deduction
on their plants and properties.
But if home owner occupies his
premises with his own family, deriv-
ing no profit from it and in most
cases contributing to the good char
acter of the neighborhood, no deduc-
ton for depreciation is allowed.
Yet the man who provides such
a dwelling place for his wife and
children has to make just as large
an investment as landlord owning
the same property would make, and
has to pay out just as much in state
or local taxes.
This is obviously an unjustifiable
discrimination against large group
of our worthiest citizens which Mr..
Hartley hopes to have Congress
abolish.

APenalty ON Thrift

of House Beautiful magazine, the
New Jersey representative reports
that FIFTEEN MILLION HOME
OWNERS are the victims of the
inequity, to the extent of more than
$317,000,000 year.
Most students of real estate
taxation believe the regulation is just
an oversight, pure and simple, in the
original latV," Mr. Hartley says.
at Just neuer has been corrected
because nobody thought enough
about it,
"Our oUernment encourages
home ownership as a means to better
citizenship, and has SET up some fine
agencies to help increase the number
of citizens Uho haze stake in their
communities, their counties, their
states and, indeed, the lDhole nation.
every added burden put upon
oWners is a Encouragement to home
cunning"
To remedy the situation, Mr..
Hartley has introduced a bill in Con-
gress III. R. 388o) which is now
pending in the House ways and
means committee.
He hopes that his bill will be
passed.
However, the millions of resident
home owners in the country could
make sure of that by needing Mr..
Hartley's suggestion that they write
to their own senator's and representa-
tives, asking THEM to vote for the
Hartley bill.
