Service Exemptions
To Cut 100000 From
Arlington Tax Totals

Arlington County will lose about
$l00, 900 in taxes this year on more
than $4,000 worth of property
exempt from taxation by the SOL
diers and Sailors Civil Relief Act,
according to Harry K Green, county
commissioner of revenue.
Mr.. Green said no section of Vir-
ginia. other than Norfolk, has suf
fered greater loss of taxation due
to the relief act than Arlington.
Before amendment of the act in
July, 1914, servicemen living in the
county were required to pay a tax
on tangible personal property, the
commissioner pointed out. Since
then, he declared, they have been
exempt from all taxation in Vr-
ginia except real estate tax.
Mr.. Green said his books show an
increased valuation for. 1945 over
1914 on real estate and public utili-
ties OF $5,162 1886. This increase, he
said, is due to improvements on
apartment houses, private homes
and business buildings.
The commissioners books show
real estate valuations assessed for
1914 were 65,219,160 while valua-
tions for 1945 show O,299, ,16O. an
increase of $5,080,0OO. Public utili-
ties values for 1914 were $4,999 1896
while the values for 1945 are S.
O82,23l, an increase of $50 1896.

SHALL WE HAVE
ANOTHER SLUMP?

You remember the slogan, after world
War I: Back to Normally? It was not
as easy as it sounded for it was a rough,
down-hiH road, and the brakes were
taken off too soon. Result: The crash
at the bottom of the hill into deflation
and depression. That laugh us-or it
should have that the nation can not
make a U turn on the highway of pro-
duction and go the opposite direction
without a slight slowing down of speed,
if it is to avoid landing in the ditch.
Peace may have her victories no less
renowned than war, as John Milton
wrote to the conquering Oliver Cromwell,
but the victories cost almost as much in
misery. Look at the peace in Europe
today and wonder if that is its guerdon.
It is natural for mankind to rejoice
when the guns cease their thunders and
human life becomes c more a sacred
thing. In that aspect, peace has its
charm transcending all else. But if that
peace turns out to be a mere return To
old and outworn ways and to a system
that does not promote the happiness Of
humanity, it can be in its effects of
poverty, want and misery, even more
lethal than war itself. When men are
deprived of means of existence, of wages
for their toll, and of a return for their
products, death on the battlefield seems
