Just then we came upon the Silent
Woman sitting among the dandelions
by the roadside. She held cup In
her hand with some honey on Its bot
tom and covered with piece Of glass.
"She is hunting bees" said as we
stopped beside her.
She rose and patted my shoulder
with smile and threw kiss to Sally.
Suddenly her face grew stern. She
pointed toward the village and then at
Sally.
"She means that there is some dan
ger ahead Of you," said.
The Silent Woman picked long
blade Of grass and tipped its end In

She came close to Sally with the blade

GRAVEL ROAD BONDS
BELOW q IL PER
CENT NOT TAXABLE

INDIANAPOLIS. March 20.-An-
drew ]. Smith, secretary Of the IN
diana Bankers association, has Is
sued a statement to Indiana bankers
concerning the status OF municipal.
state and gravel road bonds under the
recently enacted state tax Law. He
has received many inquiries from In
diana bankers as to whether state.
municipal and gravel road bonds are
FREQ from taxation under the new law.
Mr.. Smiths statement, based on in
auiry he made OF the state tax COM
mission, said that state and municipal
bonds are not subject to taxation
under this law. Gravel road bonds
that bear ~ per cent interest or less
also are free from taxation.
Indianapolis bankers also have re-
ceived an opinion from the Investment
Bankers Association Of America to
tho effect that the provision of the
new federal revenue act, which re-
Quires the scheduling OF income tax
returns of municipal bonds, although
no return need be made of the In
come from them, Is unconstitutional.
The opinion wnn given by the coun-
sci Of tho bankers' association and. In
part. answers the questions raised by
many Indiana bankers. According to
H. r. Clippinger. manager of the bond
department OF an Indianapolis trust
company, there has been much OBJ
lection by municipal bond holders In
Indiana to this provision of the revo-
nue. law.
The opinion holds that the provision
Is unconstitutional both because 1t IL
solely intended to be inquisitorial and
because 1t violates an implied con-
stitutional prohibition against the
power of the federal government to
burden tho instrumentalities of the
states. The bonds are burdened by
the requirement Of return no less than
they would be by direct tax.
