T ax Absurdity

In its proposed reform of taxation congress strangely overIooks taxexempton securities which have so rapid ly increased that they absorbing all the surplus wealth of the nation and dvertng it from industry the Sa lem Oregon Capital Journal. No system of taxation can function satisfactorily long wealth can evade taxation by investment in tax-exempt securities.
 Extension of tax-eXempton securities means eXemp- ton for the wealthy only and greater taxation for the general public higher rents though less building, contn- uance of high living costs and unemployment because ot less capital for productive industry and general hatng of industrial development
 There are over thirty billions of tax free securities afloa this country largely representing municipal se- curitieswhch that much property escaping tax aton Farm loan bank bonds joint stock land banks and and other forms of securities illustrate the danger of tension of the tax-exemption privilege which is injurious class legislation and establishes vicious precedent
 Exclusive of liberty bonds, there approximately sixteen billions of dollars aenabe to taxation now un- tax ed in these securities which the tax exempt prvl- lege was withdrawn, would yield at normal tax rate nearly billion dollars annually relieving the huge tax burden and dverting large to productive uses If the privilege extened it will intensity existing evils, withdraw still money from taXaton make taxation higher make for greater municipal extravagance check building and industry
 Tax-exemption is an economic absurdity and should be abolished.
