Special Dispatch to The Star, WELLESLEY HILLS. Mass, Feb- ruary 9.—"When will taxes be re- duced”? The problem is uppermost in the mind of the American busi- ness man and investor as he figures his report for 1922. To get the an- {swer Roger W. Babson, statistician, has spent a week in Washington studying the tax situation. His first- hand findings and unbiased report are of vital interest. “Future taxes,” says Mr. Babson, “depend, in part, upon future expendi- tures. The figures for the past year ton this score, at least, are very hope- ful. Whatever criticism may be made {of the present administration it must be admitted that it has exerted a {continuous effort to reduce expedi- {tures. An honest attempt is belng {made to introduce and operate a bud- | et system. At the conference of bureau ichiefs, held recently at the Contin- {ental ‘Memorial Hall, some 600 men met to affect further economy in the joporation of the government business.

Statistician Even Fears Rates May Have to Be Increased—Reports Results of in Washington. of the whole country. The re-enact- ment of such a tax would be a dis- tinct setback ¢o every one. Natural resources, available labor, nor even capital, 1s sufficient to make a coun- try prosperous. Russla is rich in natural resources. Africa -abounds in available labor, and in country where money business is at its worst. Prosperity is really the result of initiative courage and hovefulness. These in- tangible, but all-important forces, are the ‘result of encouraging busi- ness. We cannot get prosperity by putting a ball and chain on the en- terpriser. Excess Profits Tax Harmful. “Inheritance taxes mayv be increas- ed without affecting business. Con- gress may even increage the tax on incomes from stacks and bonds without hurting the farmer, bus a re-enactment of the excess profits tax, which paralyzes efficiency, en- terprise and inlitative, would be dis- tinctly harmful to all sections of the country, and to farmers, business men and wage workers alike. “These flgures on government re- celpts and expenditures have a direct {relation to investors. They mean that the present demand for non-taxable bonds will continue. A good many people who have their money in taxa |ble securities have continued to hold these securities and pay a tax on them with a subconscious hope that some time, some day. somehow, some- where their taxes would be reduced. A statistical study of the situation leads one to believe that higher taxes are here to stay, and that it will be a real feat to keep them down to present figure. “An interest in tax-exempt securi- ties may also be Increased by a con- stitutional amendment preventing, the sale of any more ‘tax-exempts’ A resolution to this effect is before Con- gress at the present time. If it is passed, it will go before the states for ratification. It will be a long time, before such a bill will get the neces- sary two-thirds of the states to sign it, that it may become a constitution- al amendment. Even If enacted it, of |course, could not be retroactive and cannot affect the tax-exempt securi- ties already issued. The very agita- jtion may tend to bring out a rush jof new iseues which will have a de- pressing effect on the mupicipal bond Imarket in spite of the strengthening Itendency which many people expect. { Would Count on High Taxes. “All this means,” concluded Mr. iBabson, “that the very large investors iwill_continue to hold tax-exempt se- curities. but there is no reason why {the average investor should stampede to secure such {ssues. The bond crop is one crop that has never yet been iknown to fail.

Tn building a home, the question often arises as to whether there should be two or three coats of | plaster. Here are the facts. so that you may be able to decide the ques- |tion yourself: ¥ | The first coat of plastering termed the “seratch” coat is pressed into the lath so as to form a key. This coat ‘and its “keys” are responsible for 1 holding the plaster plane on the wall. | The second coat i= the “brown’ | coat—so called because it is less |rich in cement than the scratch coat !and is therefore brown in color. This may be rubbed down to a mndanl fin'sh or it may be painted, giving a ftype of two coat work. ! The thinl coat is known as the | “pat coat. This is a mixture of | rich lime plaster with about half its :volume of gypsum. This coat may be avpplled immediately upon the l!« atch coat for a very satisfactory type of two-coat work. It may be lumed in residences with slight sacri- |fice to desirable qualities and with considerable economy. Where rigid- ity is not important, two coats are fficient whether made up of the scratch and brown coats or of the scratch and finish coats. A Selection of Homes good 2547 Wis. Ave. N.W.

Every one knows that in some houses the rooms upstairs are hot as an oven until long after the sun has gone down in the evening, while in other houses nearby the rooms are always comfortable. There are a good many elements entering into the building of a house that will re- main cool in summer and that will be easy to heat in winter. Must Have Good Furmace. To keep the house warm in winter there must, st of all, be a good heating plant; the house must be tight, as to doors and windows; the walls must be constructed so that air will not pass through them freely. Open stalrways along outside walls form a current of cold air which de- scends and such a stalrway opening in a living room is sure to make the room drafty. And, finally, there is the question of insulation. Careful builders Iinsulate their homes against both heat and cold. They require that an insulating ma- terial be placed between the walls and it is this material that makes the house comfortable. The need of some material that will prevent the passage of cold and heat through the walls of the house is as old as the art of building. houses buflt in this country the spaces between the walls were pack- ed with mud and straw. The old practice, too, of using wood as one wall- and stone as another was for the purpose of insulation. Modern Methods Best. Later on “back plaster” came to be used for insulating, but the modern methods are the most effective yet devised. These later methods were borrowed fromgthe refrigerator in- dustry and the cork and like sub- stances used are necessary aids 'o keep food in refrigeators cold, by cold storage. Gradually it dawned upon people that substances used té keeping out the heat, would keep the heat out of the -home in summer, as well as keep the heat in during the winter. Today the many materials used for Insulation are being install- | ed in ever-increasing quantities. The ' movement, starting in the colder parts of the country, has spread to the warmer regions. H It is well to know that proper in- sulation means that fuel saving alone will pay the insulation bill in a short ' time, besides the great amount of comfort to be deprived from living | in a house that is not unbearably hot | in summer. i —_— | work done when the | ature is below freezing will be | ful only if the work is in-| telligently carried out. Otherwise may be failure. It is neces- sary to warm the materials and to} keep them protected from freezing until after the cement is thoroughly 1416 to 1426 E St. NE.

Luxuries Justify Greater Cost. When vou grumble and complain about the high cost of a small home today compared to the low cost of a larger home some twenty years ago, do you also take into consideration that the average house of the past wes also low in just ordinary com- fort—low in the conveniences you consider necessities? You may be much too young to remember thq, tin bath tubs, mottled marble bowls and unfinished floors covered with carpets. Surely you know of houses bullt not more than ten or fifteen years ago that now seem hopelessly antiquated. When you visit a house built.when father was a boy—a time when it didn’t cost as much to bulld as nowadays—you thank your lucky stars when you get back home to think you own a cozy, modern home, Twenty years ago, a home builder, instructing his architect to build an up-to-date home, did not expect or even imagine possible the following equipment and conveniences, even though he might have waved his hand grandfloquently and sald “spare no expense. . Modern Convenfences. A heating system that will regulate to a fraction of a degres the tempera- ture of every room, day and night, and save fuel. Hot water ‘always on tap.

L ARE SMALL, 8o that the cooking, washing and ironing and vacuum cleaning can almost be done by punching a button. Wall insulation to keep out the cold and heat, was known of course, but not in the convenient forms of today. The home builder of a generation 280 was not 80 keen to let the sun- light and fresh air into his home by the multiplication of windows and by buflding sunrooms. When the bitter wind whistled around the windows he plugged up the cracks with candle wicking, news. paper or sandbags. He did not know of the present window equipment of metal weatherstrips. Such equipment, of course, adds to the cost of the modern home, and the more and finer the equipment, the higher, naturally, the cost. This mat- ter of convenience should be con- sidered always when comparing the | cost of then and now. The small-home owner of today has in his home equipment, finish of wood- work and conveniences that the so- called mansion could not boast of | twenty vears ago. | Day of Small Home. The advance in domestic economy, the convenience and comfort, the ar- rangement of rooms to make the housework lighter, greatly increases the commercial—that is the sale and rental—value of a modern home. In | comparison it puts the old-fashioned home at a lower commercial valua- tion. This 1s surely the day of the small home. The home builder should al- | ways keep in_ mind that the small | home, designed by the architect, by | the man skilled and practiced in de- | signing homes, should give a greater and cost no more than the same siz home designed in a slipshod manne! and In poor taste. If you want to ge the greatest amount of comfort and converilence in a small home then build from a good plan, CARE NEEDED IN BUILDING. Great care should be exercised in butlding on . filled in plece of ground. Generally speaking it is not safe t8} build on a fill. 1t is difficult to tel when settlement has been completed. The strength of the material used ' to fill in the ground is so unreliable that a buflding placed upon it prob- ably will settle unevenly. If this takes place you will have cracked walls, cracked plaster, and more or less general deterioration. If vou purchase a filled in lot you should, figure In an inoreased expense in your building budget on account of the necessity of building up from the, original soil.
