needed to finish the work of paving.
North Court street. That these may
come this week is the wish of all Me-
dinans and others who have occasion
to use the north outlet. The east
side of the street car track could be
used for traffic now were it not for
the fact that the bricks required to
pave the west side are piled thereon.
AS soon as these are used, and the
east side cleared it will be opened to
traffic, as the detour has been almost
impossible for the past two weeks.

TAx-EXEMPT BONDS.

Resolutions have been introduced
by Congressman Louis T. McFadden,
chairman of the house banking and
currency committee, and by Senator
Reed Smoot, providing for an. amend
ment to the constitution which will
give congress the power to tax securi-
ties of all kinds, now exempt from tax
alton. A powerful propaganda also is
at work to bring about the taxation OF
such evidences of debt.
If congress should attempt to bring
within the range of income tax state
and municipal bonds. there is little
doubt as tC how the supreme court
would decide the question of consti-
nationality, as it has virtually declared
that congress does not possess such
power, and Chief Justice William
Howard Taft, in an article published
in 1918 while he was still a private
which probably is still the opinion he
holds concerning the question.
Under existing laws, 1t is pointed
out, vast amounts of liquid or circu-
lating capital have been withdrawn
from the normal channels of indus
trial and business enterprise and con-
verified into tax-exempt securities is
sued by~authority of the federal, state
and municipal governments. This of
course is important, If true. but all the
facts are against it. For every dollar
paid for tax-exempt bonds of any kind
passss at once into circulation.
One propaSandist asserts that "co-
incident with the increase in the vol
ume of outstanding tax-free bonds,
the country is experiencing an in
crease in the numbers of unemployed. .
The truth is that many issues of bonds
have been for the express purpose of
providing employment for persons out
| OF work
1t is charged that the wealthy are
encouraging the issuance of tax
exempt bonds for local and civic i'm
provements in order to enhance the
value of their property. This conten-
ton falls, to the ground when con-
fronted by the fact that the more val
liable the property the higher the tax
the owner must pay.
There is only one way to stop the
issue of tax-exempt bonds and that is
for the community to pay cash raised
by direct tax in which case there
would be a speedy end to public i'm
provements.

The present cost of railroad trans
portation undoubtedly is too high, but
it is the railway owners rather than
the public who have suffered most
from it thus far this year, says the
Railway Age, since, while the ~publi1
actually has paid less for railroad
service than it did in 1919 under gov
ernq1ent control, the owners of the
railways have received many millions
of dollars less of net return. What
the Age says doubtless is true AMI
it is true because the rates have been
so high that the public has patron
lied the roads only when forced oy
necessity to do SO. Had the rates
been lower the public would have paid
more money and the roads would
have had a bigger net return.
