Onco tax-exemption advantages
of residence in Washington are^un-
derstood by the nation's rich,' says
Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary
of the treasury, there will be a-gold
rush to Washington that will make
the stami>cde to the Klondike look
like cold molasses.
If the rich only knew Washing
ton's wondorful advantages in tile
wny of taxes.” Shaw says, "tuts
city would huvo u papulation of
1.000.000."
The population under the 1920
census was 407,Ml.
TAX •
EXEMPTIONS
Consider this: If you live In uny
other; sizable city, you huvo n mu
ulelpal tux to .pay for tho city's up
keep, a county tax for tile main-
tenanceot county government, and
on toil of this, u stute tux. Above
•ill this you huvo a federal Income
tux and in many states a state in
sane tax.
! Hut in Washington there is only
i cue tax besides the federal Income
tax. That is tho District of Co
lumbia property tax. And ns tile
federal government assumes 40 per
rent of the cost of administering
the district, the local,tax is lower
than far most cities of Wushlng-
u n's size.

All industries have good years,and bad years; ail, except the railways, are
-given an opportunity tp store up a surply s during'prosperous times to tide them
over lean years. The railways do not criticise the profits of other industries, nor
do they expect to be permitted during prosperous time to increase the prio
transportation—the only commodity they have for, sale, but they must be afforded
»» opportunity,; through efficient‘and economical operation, if they are going to
-function in the interest,of 1 the public, to Barn and rttain a rate of return^which will
enable, them'to obtain funtis; to provide for large annual expenditures to meet the
increasing demands of commer^ej I
■if There.is an unfolded impression that tbe railroads are guaranteed a rate of
return of 6% on their stocks and bonds. The law provides that the Interstate
Commerce Commission shall say what rate of return they may earn on the value
of property devoted tp transportatibn and fix rates accordingly, yet the railways
nave onever even approximated the ate fixed and have had to pocket-their lo.^-
.Tneyjtjjve not 1 earned as much a| tlie Government guaranteed on all but the first
IteueloKLiberty Bonds, dr; op recentf Issue t ofc-Treasury Certificates. These seairi-
ties ntfj.all more attractive to the average investor than the pest class of railr >aii
bonds carrying materially; higher rates of interest. This situation is of interest and
importance to the public, because transportation is an essential factor of busings.
-The Central of Georgia Railway suhpiits these figures as an ijjustration of the
results of ai restrictive policy which seems to us cannot safely be carried to greater
extremes. We believe that these facts make answer to the attack upon the rate
structure of the, railjroada, which is continually being waged by certain radical ele
ments having Government ownership as their aim. - t r
For ourselves we only ask the same, treatment that is accorded industries gen
erally, without further impairment and limitation of earning power through re e
reductions and 'adverse legislation.
Constructive criticism and suggestions arc* invited. • “
