( l 1', -'T .TIMELY REALESTATE GOSSIP ;Not All Real .Estate Sealers Are Opposed to Areaway Tax. ! LANDLORDS WOULD BE TAXED 'President of .National Association of Real Estate Exchanges to Be lit Omaha Some Time Thla Month. tate exchanges. He Is an Interesting talker and no doubt wiA bring out a great many local real estate dealers to hear him when he arrives. Not all real estate men are opposing the proposed tax on areaways underneath ' sidewalks. ;- In fact, there are many Omaha dealers 'strictly In accord with such a tax and state emphatically that they would like 1 to see It levied. They declare they do not believe In' trying to get something for nothing and believe the attitude of some 'In opposing the tax is equivalent to that. There are some who believe the ordin ance ' as It now Is (Yarned ' should be "changed before passage.- The proposed 'ordinance provides a 2M per cent tax on the lot adjacent to ' the. areaway, and some of these 'real estate men think It , should be reduced to 1 per cent of the as sessed valuation of the lot.' . The reality dealers who oppose any ,kl:ji of tax on areaways are mainly those who 1 represent landlords owning property in the commercial districts where areaways jform a valuable addltion'to the basements jot buildings. They figure that the space 'would pot be used anyway If the landlord ' did not rise It, and that, being valuabio only to the landlord and not to the city, no tax should1 be paid upon. lt. Real -estate dealers who are not oppos ing the tax, those who have no clients to protect, declare the city is entitled to the tax for space beneath sidewalks Jtist as It is entitled to tax or rental for space (extending farther into the street. ; There is one department store In Omaha ! which pays a rental for the space under Incath the street from curbing to curbing 'sufficient to cover the tax on the area iway directly beneath the sidewalk. Other 'buildings, about the city, however, enjoy the use of areaways beneath the side walks without allowing the city any sort of compensation. An Omaha citizen who Is somewhat of a political economist and who is Inter ested in seeing the proposed ordinate passed by the clf.v cminc'l 1' "i" stands, ftvers that the tax would not af fect the merchants or renters. The land ' lords only would have to pay it. ', .Landlords, now, he declares, are asking 'and getting as much rental from their 'property as Is possible to get and nattir !aily if they had to pay a tax for this ! areaway- they could not raise their ren tals. Their tenants are paying all they .can afford to pay. For activity In real estate business Dundee Is the most conspicuous com munity about Omaha.

Toby Jacobs Advertising & Printing Co. makes its initial bow to Omahans on September 1 at 1725 Howard street in the newly completed "Flatlron" building. ' ... , The rapid growth of T. Toby Jacobs, "He Writes Ads," has necessitated an expansion of facilities and a printing es tablishment of considerable size is the result. Jacobs will "write ads" as formerly, devoting the most of his time to novel publicity campaigns, and the business management of the new company will be in hands of A. Fay man of St. Joseph, Mo. An expert corps of printers will as sume charge of the printing end and each department will be subdivided and spe cialized wherever possible. , An Illustrator will be specially engaged at once and a commercial photography department Is promised for the near future. -. ' . The new printing establishment will specialise along the lines of unique work; continually printing art rather than to pound the price. All presses, printing equipment, type and office fixtures will be new and the basement of the storeroom will "house the press rooms, the entire arrangement be Ing new and far out of the ordihary. The company starts out with every promise of success and already has enough orders booked ahead to keep the preyses humming merrily for some time to come. T.

Roosevelt is Losing ; i Ground in Nebraska "Roosevelt is losing ground every day In the state," said D. T. Barrett, an attorney from Nelson, Neb., at the Pax ton. Mr. Barrett says the Roosevelt sentiment Is naturally dying down as the campaign progresses, and declares that the recent exposure in regard to cam paign contributions that were used In the election of Roosevelt in 1904 with the knowledge of the colonel, himself, are rapidly turning the people against Roose velt. Of course, Mr. Barrett is a staunch democrat, and the observations he makes he admits are the observations in the two oamps of the enemies.
