A theree-way membership basis for the organisation Is recommended by tlie National Association of Reni Estate Hoards. This plan would provide for local representation of interests of property owners through the local real estate board, representation in state legislation through the state associa tion, and national representation through the national board.

An Intensive research In the field of state and local taxation to determine feasible mediis of lessening the tux burden on real estate, is being conducted by the National Property Owners Division In colla'boration with the University of Chicago. In this Investigation the National Association lias secured cooperation of the United States Building and Loan League, the National Association of Building OwnI crs and Managers, and the MortI gage Bankers Association of America. The research Is planned to determine the following questions: 1. Are state Income taxes a method of relieving real estateof some of its tax burden? 2. Can sales taxes be used as a means of relief? 3. Ate constitutional and statutory limitations of taxes and public indebtedness effective? 4. What miscellaneous city revenues can be developed to make the real estate levy more equitable? Two examples of the way in which united property owners can protect their interests are cited by I the National Association of Real I Estate Boards. ' In Illinois property owners divl-j sions at e drafting an amendment! to the state constitution to remove the archaic limitation of tax uniformity. This limintation has allow , ed real estate to bear more than 75 per .cent of the Illinois tax bur- ' den. in the state where real estate is estimated to represent less than 50 per cent of the state's wealth.

CHANCE TO BEAT HEFLIN SEEN IN STATE SURVEY Strenuous Opposition On Industrial and Educational Grounds Revealed New York, Sdpt. 12. — U.R/ lnllcations that United States Sen|ator Thomas Heflin may shortly retire to private life are found in a survey of Alabama polltcs pub-1 lished today by Collier's, stressing tlie nation-wide importance of the revolt against the crusading sen i ator. The survey shows that Heflin’s [candidacy for reelection Is meeting i strenuous opposition on industrial land educational grounds. “For com- ' mercial reasons," it says, "Alabama is a trifle tired Tom. He is regard d by the promoters of Ala-1 bama —the Chambers of Commerce, | the manufacturers, the advertisers who are spending money to induce j northern capital to make the state its home and the growing el ment which has thrice thwarted efforts to saddle the schools with antievolution laws -as a bad advertisement for his state.” It is said by Heflin's opponents that three impmtant industries reci rt'y havi icjected Alabama as a site for expansion because they 1 | considered it impossible to develop I in their own waj? under the racial and religious demagoguery of the I Ku Kiux Klan and Senator Heflin. The modern industrialist, it is explained. demands more than transportation, power and raw labor, because he considers also the psychological and intellectual quality of. I the people he must work with and I iamong, and h? maintains that [cheap illiterate labor, which is one- • tenth energy and nine-tenths prejIv.dice, is a heavy liability. “Those . whose business it is to increase ' ihe state's income and the citizenry's opportunity are highly de-' [siious of getting rid of Heflin." the survey concludes. i "Th- ir issues are clear, to develop
