Initiation, Higher Taxes
Obscure Real Earnings

Tie study shows that IL A
married couple with two children
earned $4,000 in 1899. they must
earn 1922 a year now to have
the same purchasing power.
How Board Measures II
The board calculated that 4.
family earning $4,000 in 1889
paid only $50 in Federal income
and social security taxes, leaving
$2.970. To have that purchasing
power today. the family would
have to gross 1922, since taxes
would take away 1868 and loss
from depreciation Of the dollar
would be $2,483.
A $5.000-a-year family would
also have to double its income
to stay in the same place, the
Board calculates. In 1889 it
would have paid $50 in taxes
and kept $4,94l. Now the family
needs $l0,5S3 to match it. OF
this income. the Government
takes $l.5ll while initiation COB
bles up $4.1Sl.
In the higher brackets. fam
lilies have to run even harder to
stay in the same place. In 1889,
ia $25, 000-a-year family would
have $23,273 after taxes, but for
that buying power today II
would need an income of $67.-
l727. OF this, $24,998 would 60
Ilfor taxes and $l9,456 would be
loss through depreciation Of the
dollar. A prewar income Of $780,
900 would equal an income Of
I$159,0S0 today, which would be
shrunk $78.934 by taxes and
$36.47l by initiation.
Where's the Indignation
Incomes Of millions Of families
have not gone up at those rates.
Everyone knows q few families
whose earnings have increased
considerably more, but they
know many more families who
are not making two or three
times as much as they did in
1888.
Why. then. isn't there great
indignation about taxes and in-
flation? Why aren't wives carry
ing placards and banners down
main streets? Why haven't there
been tax strikes or a riot or two?
For one reason, many Of the
1889 families have been fooled
! by imitation. Incomes have riser
from $4,000 to 5000. or from
$4,000 to $1,000 and they have
Imagined they were gettine

Staying Of two Maryland teen

Charlottesville (va.) man was
cleared Of suspicion.
After quizzing him for more

man was merely a victim Of cir

He was questioned after his
car. similar to the one in which
Mary Elizabeth Fellers and
Shelby Jean Venable supposedly
disappeared. was found aban-
doned in Baltimore. A blood
stained coat. which he admitted
was his. was found in the car.

account for his car having been
left on a Baltimore street for
several days. But later they said
the man had convincing proof
he was in Charlottesville June

Stanley to Replace

Hall to Keynote
National Republican Chairman
Leonard w. Hall will be the
keynote speaker at the conven-
ton.
Mr.. Landreth said Mr.. Hall
had consented to speak at the
request of State Senator Ted
Dalton of Radford. Mr.. Dalton,
Virginia's G. o. P. national COM
mitteeman, has been working in
San Francisco as a chairman of
the housing committee for the
national Republican convention.
The announcement of the
G. o. P. keynote speakers fol-
lows the news that the States
Democrats have tabled Repre-
sentative Abbitt of the 4th Dis
trict as keynote speaker for their
convention in Richmond July 81.
Mr.. Halls coming to Virginia
may indicate a determined bid
by the State G. o. P. to repeat
their efforts of 1852 when the
State went Republican.
At least three others doomed
as possible successors to Mr..
Landreth. They are Lester
S. Parsons, ST., of Norfolk,
a vice chairman of the State
Central Committee; Oren Lewis
of Arlington, until last week
chairman of the 10th dis
trict G.. o. P. Committee, and
Linwood Holton, formerly city
chairman of Roanoke Repub-
licans.
Discussing his decision, Mr.
Landreth said, I'D rather try
to work as one Of the fellows
than be the head man."
But in 1852, when he and
Mr.. Dalton started a move to re-
vitalize the Republican Party in
Virginia, Mr.. Landreth took the
job of chairman. At the time
there was bitter strife between
pro-Eisenhower and pro-Taft
factions.
ReconciIed Factions
Mr.. Landreth stood like a
good-natured buffer between the
factions. During his four years
as chairman he saw the G. o. p
presidential candidate carry Vir-
'ginia, his party capture three
congressional seats and retain
two of them in 1854. and his

$4,000 Price
on Land
For Reservoir
Alexandria Water
Co. Will Protest
Commission Ruling

A f1ve-member condemnation
commission yesterday ruled that
the Alexandria Water Co. should
pay nearly $4,000 for 80 acres
the company seeks for its new
reservoir on Occoquan Creek.
The commission set the value
of the land at 1000. the value
of easements through adjacent
property at nearly $4,000 and
the damage to adjoining prop
Ierty at $4,000.
This was the first suit by the
company to acquire about $500
acres needed along the Occoquan
for the reservoir now under con-
lstruction.
The commission set the value
considerably higher than the
water company expected. The
company valued the land at ap-
proximately $160 an acre and
said that it could not see that
lany damage would be done. to
adjoining property. The COM
mission valued the land at nearly
$500 an acre and said the adj
joining land was damaged about
$50 an acre.
Will Contest prica
The 80 acres is part of a 322-
acre tract owned by the family
of Carroll Wright, Arlington real
estate man. The tract is on the
Fairfax County side of Occoquan
Creek and has a 2,800-foot 'front.'

A water company spokesman
said that the court will be asked
to set aside the award. He said
that if the company had to pay
similar prices for all of the $500
acres it needs, it would boost the
land costs to more than SIS
million.
This would /. require a boost

The water company spokesman
said that an alternative might
be to raise the dam to only loo
feet above sea Level instead Of
100 feet. This would reduce the
number of acres needed to 600
but would reduce the storage
potential Of the reservoir from
no billion gallons to billion
gallons. The water company
said the 3 billion gallons woulc
handle present needs but woulc
not be sufficient for the long.
range plans which the company
is trying to meet.
The company had estimated

at approximately SO million. Tit

There are seven children in
