State Taxes on National Securities.

VIII some Democratic journal that goes for
repudlatng the National Debt by means of
State taxes on National securities undertake to
answer the recent arguments of John Sherman,
Chairman Of the Finance Committee of the
United States Senate? The provision of the
law Is All stocks, bonds and other securities
OF the United States shall be exempt from tax
alton by or under State authorities" That is
part OF the contract which the United States
made solemny with every working man who
has invested his savings in a Seven Thirty
bond. For State to attempt to Law tax on
one OF these bonds would be the same thing as
attempting to repudiate that contract A State
cannot annul law of the United States. Nav
more, 1t could not tax one Of these bonds even
II no such stipulation had been inserted in the
law. The Supreme Court ofthe United States
has settled that. 1t has repeatedly decided
that no State can lay any tax whatever on Gov
ernment securities of any description and for
this reason. The Government OF the United
States has the constitutional right to borrow
money, and the Supreme Court said that to
lay tax on that borrowed money would he to
retard, impede, burden and control the acts of
Congress, and might be means of nulifying
them. Speaking of this power to borrow mo-
ney, Chiet-J ustice Marshall said: . No power
has been conferred by the American people on
this Gov rnment, the free and unburdened ex-
erclse Of which more deeply affects every mem
Der Of our Republic Can ANYTHING
be more dangerous or more injurious than the
admission ola principle which authorizes every
State and every corporation in the Union which
possesses the right of taxation to burden the
exercise of this power at discretion? If the
rig hit to impose tax exists, it is a right which
iii its nature acknowledges no limits"
The right to tax having thus been twice de-
MED by the Supreme Court, the question came
again in another form before the Court in 1912,
and it was once more declared that the States
could lay no tax 1t was held by court which
was then, as Senator Sherman says Demo
cratic machine, yet every Judge agreed, fancy
among them, that any tax upon any agent
in the employment of the United States, or
any security Of the United States by any State
was unconstitutional and void. "
