This volume contains the official record of hearings before the United States Senate Committee on the District of Columbia regarding H.R. 9248, the 'Antiprofiteering Rent Bill.' Conducted in March and April 1918, these hearings address proposed legislation intended 'to prevent extortion, to impose taxes upon certain incomes in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes.' The bill aimed to regulate rents and curb perceived profiteering during a period of social and economic upheaval. The hearings provide insight into the arguments for and against rent control measures, the economic conditions prevailing in Washington D.C. at the time, and the broader societal concerns related to housing affordability and fairness. This historical document offers a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of housing policy and the ongoing debate surrounding government intervention in the rental market.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
