These will dis- credit their claims to lower assessed valuations, if they do not bring them close to perjury. Another weapon to be used against profiteérs that will be brought to Gov. Smith's attention as good material for an extra session of the Logislature to work on, will bé the proposal put for- ward last year by Jacob A. Cantot, Président of the Board of Taxes and Absosmments, for all property owners to be compelled to file yearly returns with the board. By this means the Board could determine accurately just what ren- tal value attaches to amy plece of property and could Sx the assessed value accordingly. Mr. Cantor tried unsuccessfully to have the Legislature pass a law re- quiring such. returng to be filed with the Board, but the lawmakers were pot at that time alive to the crisis in the rent profiteering situaion.

About two weeks ago government officials issued a statement to the effect that clothing manufac- turers have formed a “‘ring” to keep up the fictitious prices on clothing, going so far as to guarantee retailers against a drop in prices. Woolen mills have been closed down, and it is said that this was done to curtail the production, thereby keeping prices up. A few days ago two large clothing manufacturers in New York City closed their shops, throwing the men out of work and stopping production, thereby doing their bit toward keeping prices up. We cannot break the market wide open. We have not enough woolens to do that—but we can save monty for you while these woolens last.
