is the development of Virginia Key.
There are some who feel that it would be splendid

However there is strong opposition to this being done and
we should not sit quietly and let things roll along
We have footing on this key-the Virginia beach
There is good why should not have hotels
and apartment houses.
We know we have as much right to Miami Beach as
anybody else but willing to concede that present
conditions financially and otherwise bar u.s. Some day
those conditions might change.
In the case of Virginia Beach, there is not con-
ceivable logical argument that should bar
There also those who suggesting that the only
piece OF beach have in Dade county, Virginia Beach,
should be taken from u.s.

Checkrein on Tax Exemption

District taxpayers will be glad to know that
Senator Hunt OF Wyoming will renew his efforts
to induce Congress to do something about the
serious problem of real estate tax exemption in
Washington. More than half of the property in
the District now is exempted by law from pay
ment of realty taxes. AS the citys taxable
area shrinkS, the tax burden on non-exempt
property owners rises correSpondingly. The
trend has become so alarming in recent years
that Senator Hunt, among others, has sought
to interest Congress in applying a checkrein
on further exemptions. The problem remains
unsolved, however.
Senator Hunt succeeded in obtaining Senate
approval last year of a bill which would
establish congressional policy against granting
of tax exemption on real estate except in
exceptionally meritoriouS cases. Church prop
erty would qualify for exemption, of course but
stricter standards for exemption eligibility
would be applied to all other types of property
whose owners desire freedom from real estate
taxation. If any special exceptions to these
requirements hereafter were granted by Con-
greSS it would be mandatory on Congress to
compensate the District in the amount of
revenue lost. This bill was recommended
unanimously by the Senate District Committee
last year with warning that the area of
tax-exempt property has expanded per cent
since 1945 and is undermining the Districts
main source of tax revenues The House failed
to act.
AS tax exemption has increased the Federal
payment to the District for services rendered
has decreased, until today the Federal share
of the cost Of running the Nations Capital is
only per cent. District taxpayers thus have
been hit from two directions. Simple justice
calls for more than first aid. A long-range
policy of relief, covering both tax exemption
and Federal-DiStrict fiscal relations, is a long
felt need

Mr.. Eaton of New Jersey

Charles Eaton came down to the United
States from his native Nova Scotia to attend
theological school. He remained here to enjoy
distinguished career, first in the Baptist pulpit,
later as an editor, and finally as a statesman
in genuine meaning of the word.
For as Republican Representative in Con-
greSs from New Jersey, Mr.. Eaton became q
representative of the American people and their
interests in the broadest sense. Mr.. Eaton's
finest years were his later ones when the
maturity of his Judgment lifted him above
partiSanShip and placed him in key role in
dealing with our foreign policy during and
after World War II. AS ranking minority men,
ber and during the 80th Congress as chairman,
of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Mr..
Eaton was close associate of the late Republic
can Senator Vandenberg in making bipartisan
ship in foreign policy reality In this capacity,
the New Jersey Congressman earned the con-
fidence and respect of his House colleagues on
both sides of the political aisle, and the
trust of Democratic Presidents Roosevelt and
Truman
Mr. Eaton's influence became particularly
important and forceful after the war, period
when there were greater temptations to seek
partisan advantage in the programs which the
Democratic administrations were advocating on
the world stage. Mr.. Eaton never proposed that
his party should accept without question the
Roosevelt Truman plans for economic aid and
joint defense efforts. He proposed, instead,
that each of them be studied with an honest
appreciation of the motives and a careful
scrutiny of the methods He favored criticism
that was constructive, and he contributed in
telligently to it. IF we,' he asked could unite
to fight the last war of destruction, in the
name Of God, why can't We unite now for
constructions"
There has been great unity and progress
in this fight "for construction" and to Mr.
Eaton Is due great share Of the credit. Mr..
Eaton, who died here yesterday, deserves the
gratitude Of his own political party and Of the
American people. sss. as
