Owners of State Rebel Against
Full Values Being Given—
State Board Will
Take a Hand.
Lincoln, Neb., Aptil 13.— The stale
board of assessment is scheduled to
stage a lively session shortly with tlie
county assessors. The board has
been impressing upon the assessors
that they must obey the law, which
says that land must be assessed at its
actual value. That value, it told the
local men, could be ascertained from
the deeds that passed in the last year
on a large number of these tracts.
Lands are now assessed at less
then half their value. To increase
th»m to actual value will mean an in
crease in the farmers’ taxes, and that
Is certain to cause a tremenduous
vow. The story has reached the
board that the assessors in eastern
counties held a meeting, and in order
to avoid the calamity of a farmers’
rebellion against them, they agreed to
fix values at a certain percentage of
the actual. What this is the state
board does not know, not having been
advised as to the meeting.
This was followed by an openly
advertised meeting held at Ohapell, of
western Nebraska assessors. They
fixed on these figures, regardless of
values: Best table lands. $.’{.'1 an ac re;
best Irrigated land, $60; medium
farm land, $25; mixed farm and graz
ing, $15; grazing, $5, which is about a
third of the actual values, in most
cases and less than that in others,
as this Includes sugar beet, alfalfa
and wheat land. Table Land is worth
$100 while irrigated runs as high as
$250.

RENT PROFITEERING
IN CHICAGO MAY END
C.ty Plans to Stop It by Or
ganizing $100,000,000 Cor
poration to Build Homes.
Chicago, April 16.—This city is at
tempting to prevent rent profiteering
by regulating Increases In rates and
by organizing a $100,000,000 corpora
tion to build homes and sell them on
easy payments.
Meanwhile Chicago’s flat dwellers
have been forming unions to wage
war on alleged profiteering land
lords and committees in the city
council have been investigating in
creases in rents ranging up to 100
and even 200 per cent.
Several hundred families have
solved their individual housing prob
lems by making their homes In house
boats moored In the branches of the
Chicago river, the Calumet and lakes
in South Chicago. Once in possession
of a houseboat, the owner only has
to pay $1 a month for the privilege
of mooring his craft. If he does not
like his location he can move his
homo boat elsewhere. Many of these
boats cost $1,000 each and have five
rooms, parlor, dining room, kitchen
and two bedrooms.
In some cases groups of tenants
have solved the rent problem by
forming co-operative companies and
buying the apartment house in which
mey live.
The housing corporation, which has
been financed by banks and business
men, has under consideration a plan
to build a row of model homes in
Grant Park, oh the lake front.
Examples of many types of stand
ardised homes would be erected, fur
nished and surrounded by settings of
trees and shrubbery so that a pros
pective purchaser of a new home
could look over the styles before plac
ing his order.
The recent tornadoes which de
stroyed 100 houses aad damaged 400
more In Chicago and its suburbs have
augmented a housing shortage which
tad already become acute through
suspension of building operations in
the war and long-drawn builders,
contracts.

whether the widow of Dr. Claude U.‘

cannot be held to be an accident.

for th? widow*. Mrs. Myrtle Sackett,
for the full amount sued for. $2,000.

FOR MCE MEN
House Ways and Means Com
mittee Members to Propose
Money Necessary Be Raised
by Tax Upon War Profits.
Washington, April 19.—Democratic
members of the House ways anti
means committee will propose to the
House that the money necessary to
pay a soldier bonus be raised through
the imposition of a tax upon war prof
its.
Announcement by republicans that
the money would be raised through a
tax of % of 1 per cent, on sales, but
that this tax would be so applied that
Hie consumer would actually pay a
tax of from 2 to ]0 per cent, and pos
sibly in in addition an added profit for
the producers brought the warning
from Representative Henry T. Rainey,
of Illinois, a democratic member of
the ways and means committee, that
he would make a tight on the floor of
the House for his plan to tax war
profits.
Representative Rainey says no one
will admit wishing to make money out
of the war, but thafthe records show
that 69.000 persons made $3,000,000,000
and that these 69,000 persons had an
income of more than $20,000 a year
each, prior to the war.
He proposes that the government
take one-half of the profits above the
$20,000 made by these men during the
war. In other words, if a man made
$30,000 during the war and $20,000
prior to the war, Representative
Rainey would take one-half of the
$10,000 or $5,000.
Representative Rainey is assured
the support of some republicans who
lnii-n fmifrb t -for* t ho hnnno n nd uthrt
have defied the republican “steering
committee's” edict that there should
not be a bonus.
Representative Royal C. Johnson,
of South Dakota, will fight the tax
idea and will make a fight for the
Rainey plan of a tax on war profits.
Representative Johnson led the in
surgents in their fight on the "steering
committee” and will assist Represent
ative Rainey in trying to prevent the
imposition of a sales tax.
Tax Republicans Propose.
The republicans propose a, tax of
Vs of 1 per cent be put upon each
"turnover.” For instance, they pro
pose that when an umbrella is sold,
a tax shall be paid by the purchaser
equal to V4 of 1 per cent on the cost of
the cloth, when sold by the producer
to the manufacturer. The steel ribs,
when manufactured, would be tfeed
In like amount. The handle would be
taxed, and so on, and then eventually
the tax again would be applied to
the finished product. So that instead
of paying V6 of 1 per cent, the con
sumer really would pay from 6 to 7
per cent.
But the vicious feature about this
tax is that it is another form of in
direct taxation. The consumer would
never know what the actual cost of
production was, so the manufacturer
could add the V4of 1 per cent, tax and
then add extra profit to that and so
on down the line so that the tax of
6 or 7 per cent, not only would be
passed along to the consumer, but In
addition a profit for the manufactur
er which would be equal to two or
three times the tax.
In other words, the consumers not
only would pay the *1,000,000.000 or
more to the soldiers but might, un
der the republican proposal, pay an
other *1,000.000,000 or more to profit
eers who would be encouraged to take
advantage of this indirect tax.
What Records Show.
Democratic members have never
proposed an indirect tax, but have
suggested that if the republicans are
determined to apply the tax idea, it
should be so applied that the con
sumer may know just what he pays.
The final sale to the consumer -would
bee taxed. The retailer who sold the
umbrella would have to mark it with
a plain figure, and then would add
the V4 of 1 per cent. tax. In this way
no opportunity would be given for
profiteering.
“The records show that 69,000 per
sons made $3,000,000,000 during the
war, that these persons were million
aires through their pre-war incomes
and that one-half of this $3,000,000,000
will be sufficient to meet our needs in
the payment of this soldier bonus and
that its loss to the millionaires would
not cause them any suffering. And
In addition, no one wants to make
any profit out of war, so these men
would not object," said Representa
tive Rainey, who unless prevented by
some special republican rule, which
has been suggested though not yet
formulated, will offer his proposal in
the House.
If Johnson, Fairfield and Hickey
and the other f.O or more republicans
join with him, he may win. But they
will have to overcome stubborn op
position for there Is at least one
prominent republican on the ways and
means committee who is said to have
made millions out of the war and who
has discouraged at every turn any
suggestion for a special tax to raise
money lor the soldiers.
