Letters to the Editor
The Tax Rate
to iht Editor o Ihe Evening .Public Ledger:
BIr Th' properly ovrneri of Philadelphia (
'.will no doubt b highly sratlflml t the n- .
nounowntnt of Mayor Moor that he wnntu
ui xpna bt the city Bovrnment kp. I
t aa low eont a pomlble In order thai I
th tax rt may bo drcrMaal tiet year
Thla will not only bt welcomed by the prop- I
rty owmti, but by th rantera as well, for ,
It will roaan a reduction In renta.
The present tax rate Is enllraly too hluh
nd la unnaeetaary. If the leant economy I
would be ahown. It hV been gradually ,
erreplnc up. and Mayor Moore should no mill
farther and give the amall properly nwneia
the ftaaurane's that the uaaeaament cm their
properties will be reduced aa aonn ne 'il
(overnment economy can be brought about.
Thla heavy tax. rate and hluh Kaaeaament
have worked great hardship upon the pereona
who were fotced to buv propertto and who
followed the advlra of the peoplo at I'll
1UII to own their own properties. These
property ownera had to pay ihe highest
prlcee for their housea, In most cane run
aiderably more than they are worth or than
they can ever reallr.e on them Then "they
had to ray a high price to building and loan
.ssoclatlone to have them financed, mid.
following thla. the rlty began raising th tax
rata and the neaeaament. until mnny of Ihe
property owners have been compelled to
Rive up their home and lose the money they
have paid, and in other Inetances ih wage
eatneta have been forced to go vlthmii Ihe
. neceaeltlea of life In order lo keep up ihelr
Very high taiea and the Interest on their
mortgages.
The people have faith In Mnyor Mooie. and
when he aaya le i goim; to come to their
relief they expci nini to kep his word,
and he will still further Ingratiate hlmsolf
In their good will If he se. Ill save their homes
for them. There ere plenty of wnjs In
which economy could he practiced, and It
those to whom the M.wor has addressed his
communication do not act on his suggestion
he should see that they nr removed, and ho
hould appoint n commission that would
atudy economy in all derailments.

Why High Rents?
To tht Editor ol thr Ermine PtifcMr T.riigrr-
Blr If V !. King thinks landlords are
"rent hoga" bcaue they take as large a
rents.! as the ran get. then does It not
logically follow that eerv one desiring and
taking the highest mirket price for his
roods and hla aervlces Is also a "hos" and
, "profltaer "?
The 'ruth of the mitfer Is that we all
want the highest prtr.. se can get for our
labor, service, goods and property. If this
daalre le wrong thn 'he whole human race
la eQually wrong, rutatn-s were cheap last
year because 'here was a Rreater supply
than demand, while potatoes this ij-ason are
vry dear because the crop Is short and the
supply la not equal to Uih demand
Renta are high because the drmand for
houses Is greater than the supply. The one
and only remedy Is to hulld more houses,
and the average renter If he has saved a
little nest egg, can easliv borrow auffte'ent
mrnry from the banks or building and loan
associations to build his own hnm. and If
erough do this the aupplv will soon eo.ua!
the demand and rents wilt take a tumble.
If housea can be erected so cheaply that
they 'can rent for onu-thlrd of present
rentftls and still mak !0 per rent on the In
vestment." surely here Is a wonderful chance
to make a profitable Investment Why con
tinue to pay rent when one can build ao
cheaply?
The averags rnter has himself to blame
that he paya rent at all Hew many thou
sands have squandered the price of a home
with an automobile or other extravagance,
such as extravagant clothing. furniture,
amuaementa or drink, and then whine about
the high rent they must pay and ask the
Government to save them from the results
of their own folly.

The Airplane Accidents
To tht EiMor of the Kvenlny Public l.tdotr!

Who Pays the Cost?

"Sir The miners of West Vhglnla seem
to have ben on on a holiday eantlco and
heve forced the Presldnt to send troops to
thlr eccjlon to straighten things out. and
It appears ns i-oon as the soldiers arrived the
miners wem satisfied to go horn- and die-
, band Who pays the hill for all thla trana-
I pcrtatlon of troops and other expensea at
tendant upon this "picnic"? The people, of
course. It la another couple of millions to be
added to their burden.
The resl culprits In thla lamentable af
fair ars not really the miners, who are led.
through Ignoran'-e. by crtalt. leaders who
are trying to accomplish their ends through
disorder. If the State Jf West Virginia, as
nu say In your editorial, had laid aside
politics In He legislative body and had
1 worked In the Interest of the people, the
i minors, as '! as the mine ownrs. all thte
trouble would hsve been avoided It Is un-

The Rations Problem
To fa Editor ol the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir A fortress besieged by the enemy has
still enough food.fo last for eight days. If
ISO men leave and each remaining recedes
four-ninths of a kilogram less per day. the
garrison can hold nut for sixteen days. It
wl I also have food for the same time If
SOU men leave and each remaining man re
ceives two-fifths kilogram of bread less the
Aral ration per day. What Is the number
of men In fortress and their regular rations
per day
Will say the garrison consists of 1200 sol
diers, their rations "regular" one kilogram
of bread per day.
Flrat. then. If no men leave, they would
lo hold out for alxteen days, have ben put
on half rations. With 120 men leaving, th
remaining man each receives four-ninths
kilograms less pr day, which means their
n tlona are flve-nlnths of a kilogram per day
--a gain of ij 4-0-l-18 kilogram to' each
man for sixteen days.
Then 120 men x 1 kilogram X 8 days r
lino kilograms equals rations gained by gar
rison and fidOi 1-18 172PO eighteen, which
elphteens, divided by sixteen days, leave 10X0
men remaining.
If 200 men leave, the remaining men re
ceive three-tlftha kilogram each per day,
which Is two-fttlhs kilogram less first ration
and ' 2-S kilogram 1-10 kilogram per
dav gained by each of Ihe remaining men.
Then 200x1 kilogram xS days 100
H'ngrams and 1000 vl-10-lfluo0 tens,
which, divided by IB days 1000 men re
maining, after 200 leave.
Now 1200 men XI kilogram XS days

Cheaper haulage is the most sought -for factor in
transportation today.
GMC Model K-16 justifies its claim jto being the most
economical one -ton truck in existence on this score,
for it will undoubtedly haul during its life the great
est tonnage for the cost.
And the recent reduction of $500 in the price makes
its first cost of vital interest to the user.
There is still another factor the wide variety of work
to which this truck is adaptable. It fits into more kinds
of hauling than any other capacity of truck into
city delivery .wholesale and retail produce.f urniture
machinery, drugs, groceries, department store goods
and fuel.
For bus service, fire and police patrol and for farm
use it is peculiarly fitted. It will do practically 90
per cent of the work on the average farm, where the
one -ton truck is without doubt the ideal capacity.
GMC Model K-16 is a better truck even than its pre
decessor, Model 16, which is the.United States Army
standard in its class. It is every inch a truck, with
electric lights, starter and cord tires as standard
equipment. Not a passenger car part in its make-up.
Any GMC dealer will give you further details concern
