Mr. SATTERwHITR-Mr President | said this fore

this question: or that would at some other stage
of the proceedings After consideration. / think
| had better at the present time say what have
to on the subject. The question of double taxation
is one we ali differ apon-we have our theories
The Senator from Yuba says none of us are politi
cal economists. Well, il we are not we are begin
ming to be, and perhaps legisatrg on this nuestion
may make US political economists before we get
through. But as members OF this body it is neces
sary for us to make up our minds and to vote on
this subject. The other day in the debate between

the common sense of Sir Isaac Newton than to take

years before him. l would rather take the common
Supreme Court than the common sense of country
Justice of the Peace. consider that there is that
difference Now what is double taxation? | start
out with the proposition that in society and nm -er
Government property in its exchange passing from
one hand to another must be twice taxed some.
