EFFECT ON INVESTMENTS
Probable Result of Income Tax
in Corporate Securities.

In the following summing up II. +. Nc
Council, of Williams, Mcconnell & Cole
man. has touched on the income tax law:
THE passage of the proposed income
tax will unqucstionably affect investments
IN corporate securities. and interesting
legal questions may conceivably arise.
The constitutonalty Of the act in vie"
or the recent amendment to the Federal
Constitution and the decisions constituting
the validity OF a graduated tax Will PROV
ably not be a serious issue. Nevertheless
perhaps there will be no question Of larger
import to investors than the one as 10
whether the holder and owner of cOrpO-
rate bonds or the corporation will bc re-
quircd to pay at least some part of the
income tax. II is not an unusual proNl-
sion in corporate bonds and deeds of trust
securing the same that both the principal
and interest o. such bonds are payable
without deduction on account of any
taxes, assessments or other governmental
impostS which the company or tnc
trustee shall De- required or permitted 10
pay or retain thcrcrrom under any pres
cnt OF future law of the United states o.
America or OF any state, county munlCF

tax rcqUitin- collection of the income IAN
at the source of the income may call upon
the courts to decide as between the COZ

matcly paw such tax. The investor, on
the one hand, will contend for a strict
Interpretation Of the requirement that uc
holds his bond free from any tax that tie

reason thereof. while the corporations. on
the other hand. will contend that Sucn -
