In a speech to the boards sec
ond annual banquet on February

first president of the organization,
pointed out that the Federal Gov
ernment then owned one-half of
all the property in the District on
which it paid no taxes.
The same complaint, in varying
degrees. has been registered ever
since. This, the Goth anniversar.
year, will 60 down as one of
achievement, as far as two partic-
ular goals Of the board are con-
cerned. One was the raising by
Congress of the Federal Govern
ment's payment toward the cost
of the District Government from
SIS, 1000, 900 to $4,000, 600, re-
versal of a trend that ran on for
many years.
Sales Tax Flgnt won.
The other was the adoption OF
a general sales tax for the Dis
trict, a levy the board had advo-
Gated as a means of meeting the
rising expenses Of the District
Government.
With the increased Federal pay
ment, the new sales tax and the
usual forms of levy. the Board of
Trade tax leaders believe the Dis
trict's income has gone up about
as much as it can be expected to
rise for some years to come.
For this reason one of the
boards major objectives as it
starts on the second so years will
be to keep the present District
expenses at the current level for
the next few years. 1t will oppose.
it's LADDERS say, any increase in the
property tax as an added source
of revenue.
The boards. position is that
property is bearing a fair share
of the tax burden, that the ef-
fective rate of the property tax
in the District is fairly compa-
rable with other communities, and
that an increase in the rate will
provide IAN added incentive for
some businesses and some people
to move out of the District"

District taxation and fiscal

of Trade since it was organized
60 years ago next week.
For almost 40 of those 60 years,
the board has waged. as another
major activity, a campaign for
national representation for Wash

Leaders Of this organization
that is more civic than trade in
its nature expect that taxation
and fiscal matters will continue
to be matter of concern in the
next 60-year period.
But they like to entertain the
hope that something will be done.
before another six decades pass
into history, to bring the District
national representation in Con-

workable system of home rule.

made available to Congress and to
the public probably more infor-
nation on tax matters than any
other organization in Washing

the board is sometimes described
as the public voice on District ifs
cal affairs.
Critics have been won't to say
that the board in fiscal matters is
an ultra-conservative voice in
the community. But the board
leaders will point out that its
views represent cross-section of
the opinion of its $500 members

section of Washington's business
and professional life.
