Even the trusts are being checked a little. But nothing {s said about avaricious, grasping landlords, who make poor people starve them- | selves and drive little merchants to the -wall.” -The remedy advocated ws political organization now adv: ents by the Legislature and | the Governor, ¢ This remedy would be-as—futile as.to fix by law the price of po- fatoes or Silk hats. Landlords will charge as muchas they can get, and evéry tenant will always - pay as little as he can, just as the seller and buyer of potatoes or shoes or anything else. If the population increases more rapidly than the tenement-houses and flats, rents will go up. ff accommodations increase more rapidly than tenants, rents will go down. When there is 4 big crop of potatoes the price is low, and when the crop is short the price is high. What makes rents higher in New York-than in smaller cities is that 15 paid-by- the tenant: —Where atandiord,-by-keeping-his-property-unim- proved, is-ableto-escape _proportionate_taxation, his_profits through a— speculative-increase -of his land values are at the expense of the tenants | of other landlords, who are enabled to:charge higher rents by the arti- ficial scarcity thus produced. -This-cannot_be_remedied_by_trying to-compel_tandlords-to-charge Tess. It would be as unjust and as unconstitutional to fix rents by law fs to fix-the price of potatoes by law. -If potatoes were taxed a. quarter} f their market value, which would be equivalent to the present tax on| ordinary dwellings, the man who ate potatoes would ha o pay more) for them. z * The high rents result from the initial defects of the present system of taxatién and from; the failure te enlarge the available area of New York by better transpartation. The difficulty is fundamental, not super- ficial. The readjustmerit must begin at the foundation, not at the top. —Jand-is-searce-and_taxes-are-high._Every penny of ‘the tay on buildings _ xe aia Daily Magazine, Wednesday, od October ‘33, 1906...
