Taxing Tax Exemp Incomes

Secretary Glass brings up again witt
his precision and clarity the very i'm

investment in State and municipal
bonds but greatly reduces the sur

taxpayers should be allowed. by

only 10 obtain exemption with re-
sprct 10 the income derived there

"A question has been raised con-
cerning the right OF the Federal
Government under the Constitution
TO tax The income from State and
municipal bonds, but there can be
no doubt Of the onslitutionality
Of such an administrative provision
The proposal is not TO tax the in

nicipal securities but to prevent
evasion Of the tax in respect 10
other income"

Mr.. Glass says not merely on his
thus tax exempted income but on his
remaining taxable income as well,
and while IL is beyond question that
IN the very nature Of things the
Treasury thus dOubly loses revenue,
the solution Of this problem for the
Government may not be so easy.
Aside and apart from the Constitu-
ton and from Supreme Court deci-
siOns as applicable to state and munich
pal securities there is the practical
side Of the matter Secretary Glass
has been quick to detect and frank TO

are SO taxed or otherwise diminishes

this axiom Of taxation more intelli-

MONUMENT TO THE
DOUGHNUT SUGGESTED

monument to the doughnut is sug-
gested by Harry A. Williams in an
article published in The Los Angeles
Times. The doughnut deserves to
to be memorialized in marble and
brass, or more expensive material" /"
he declares.
The first anybody knew of The
Salvation Army being in France was
when we found them up there at the
front frying doughnuts. They just
slipped in, set up their vats and start,
ed frying. Most of the fellows had
only a vague recollection of the Sal
walton Army-remember them
rather mistily as people who used tC
parade the streets at night beating
drums and cymbals and offering sal
vation with Jazz" trimmings. They
thought that The Salvation Army had
gone out of style and also out OF
business.
Then they bobbed up with American
doughnuts way over there dough,
nuts like mother and auntie and sis
ter used to make - and believe me,
those doughnuts went straight home
There was no attempt to cram re
ligion into the soldiers along with the
doughnuts, or with the hot biscuitq
and apple pie which later were added
to the menu. That was left to the
chaplins
There was something honey
about those doughnuts, biscuits and
apple pie. Nothing else taken to that
faraway front brought home quite
so near to the boys. If it was man
who thought it out he was a genius,
if woman. she was an angel.
The appeal of these things, The
Salvation Army's lack of ostentation,
and its simple sincerity, went straight
to the hearts of the soldiers.
After all, possibly the best memorial
to the doughnut would be to raise that
fund sought by The Salvation Army
which ministered so unassumingly to |
our men over there" and which at |
home has that broad humanity which |
does not place it above seeking posi- |
tions for bartenders who have been
thrown out of employment by the dry
