OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS HITTING HIM BOTH WAYS Published reports indicate that the president is on a quiet| rampage against the rent profiteers. It is said that Mr. Harding favors allowing realty owners a| not return of 10 per cent on the value of their property in the form of rentals, that value to be in accordance with their latest tax return, the overplus of rentals to go testhe government in the shape of excess taxation. | Some blow to the rent hog, eh? | The landlord who has charged a reasonable rent and has filed a fair tax return has nothing to fear. He has probably n:tt made in excess of 10 per cent net on the value of his prop- erty. i dBu‘( the rent hog, if such a law is enacted, is up against it ard. It can reasonably be expected that in filing his tax schedulz the rent hog valued his property at a very low figure in order to keep taxes down—probably far below its actual value. If he is allowed to realize in rentals only 10 per cent net of what he told the assessor the property was actually worth, he is out a considerable sum of money, as all receipts above the 10 per cent would go to the government. If, on the other hand, he puts up a roar and claims that the property is worth far more money in order to save his rents, he convicts himself of filing a false tax schedule and lays himself liable to a heavy penalty. There’s a kick waiting for him either way heturns—if the president’s suggestion is enacted into law. He is in for an uncomfortable period of squirming and squealing, with the great mass of the people enjoying his plight, O————— THE DOMINION STATUS “The full dominion status,” wrote Gen. Smuts, the South ‘African premier, to DeValera, “with all that it is and implies, is yours, if you will but take it. It is far more than was offered to the Transvaal and Free State, who fought for freedom one of the greatest wars in the history of Great Britain and one which reduced their own countries to ashes and their little peo- ple to ruin. What they have now after years of warfare and political evolution is now offered you, not in doles and install- ments, but at once and completely.” These are the words of one of the world’s foremost states- men, a man of unchallenged integrity and a sincere friend of Treland. If Ireland cannot trust Smuts, it cannot trust anybody. j In his statement is not only a promise of what is now within Ireland’s grasp—which is more than any of the Irish leaders could have expected two or three years ago—but also a veiled warning of what Ireland may suffer if she refuses the offer. Ire- land may conceivably become a far greater ruin that South Afri- can was after the Boer War, if the Sinn Fein refuses an honor- able compromise and resorts to arms. In the proffered compromise, too, according to the preva- lent American opinion, lies promise of further concessions, The political evolution of the British Empire is rapid. . All of the dominions have already attained the position of free democra- cies, bound to Great Britain by little more than a voluntary and sentimental tie. They will be freer still hereafter—and Ire- land along with them, no doubt, if she accepts this self-respect- ing status. P —— ! SOMETHING IN NAMES, The general public should pay heed to the remark of Secre- tary Hughes that the conference to be held in October is not a “disarmament” conference but a ”limitation of armament” con- ference. Continued misuse of the expression “disarmament”’ leaves the impression that the purpose of the conference is to reach an agrement for entire abandonment of national arma- ments, and, with such a result not reached, there would be a feeling that the conference had failed. As a matter of fact, no one expects that there will be an agreement for either disarma-| mnt or for any material immediate reduction in armament. The term “limitation” of armament means merely that the nations| desire to put an end to the competition in building navies, air fleets and other war accessories. If there can be a check to ex- pansion, the time may soon come when there will be a gradual| reduction.
