TAKING STATE SECURITIES.

Writers all over the country have been airing their
views on taxation subjects and much valuable data and
in the New York Tribune contributes this amendment
to the revenue bill together with the arguments
therefor:
sThat the exemption from the income tax on income
derived from the obligations of states and their sub
divisions shall extend only to the normal income tax
and not to surfaces"
M argument is needed as to the injustice of ex-
ennpting from the income tax the income derived from
the obligations of states and their subdivisions. par
tfcularly as allowed on incomes subject to surtaxes.
Faddin, chairman of the house banking and currency
committee, and Senator Smoot Of the senate finance
ccmmittee, have both introduced resolutions to amend
tie constitution to disallow such exemptions.
What, then, stands in the way Of congress itself re-
moving by the law the exemptions from the revenue
bill? A decision of the supreme court. Admitting
the fnality of this courts decision as to the meaning
of the Sixteenth amendment, that Income from what
ever source derived" did not include the income from
state instrumentalities as applied to normal income
tax (unless the court on a rehearing should reverse its
decision), is there not a difference when the exemp-
ton is applied to surtaxes as well as to the normal
taxi
Let me briefly review the courts decision. with the
object of showing that it did not necessarily include
the surtax exemption, and, therefore, it is proper that
the. court should specifically pass on this point.
The court held that in effect the Sixteenth amend
ment has no bearing whatever on state instrumental
ties. and the words "from whatever source derived
must be assumed to have been inserted with the
that previous decisions restricted their
meaning"
Per contra, the senator who was responsible for the
language did know full well of the previous decisions,
and by such plain words intended that these decisions
should have no weight against the amendment. If an
amendment can amend the Constitution itself. it sure
ly can overcome all previous decisions Of a court here
tofore made and founded on the unamended Consti-
tuition. This was the object and intent Of this amend

REGISTER, BUT REGISTER LEGALLY.

1t is reported that a number of persons living out

people are warned that their votes are fraudulent and
cannot be received and if their votes are accepted re-
CARELESS of what may be the attitude of the judges of
election on duty at the time, such votes are not legal
and if contested the courts must throw out the vote
of the entire precinct, changing the result OF the whole

gal vote is subject to prosecution and will be
prosecuted.

These persons are also warned that they are commit

Election officers usually are very careful in such
matters and give all information to the r~egistrant
necessary TO guide him Alright, but when the regis
trsnt signs the oath and he knows 1T is a false state

1t is the duty of everybody to register and vote for
whom they please, but the person who registers fraud

not a good citizen and should be punished.

Citizen Desires to Know

Editor Tribune@Threo men have
declared themselves candidates FOR
chief executive Of this city. Two OF
these men have declared themselves
for ono and the selfsame platform. viz
n reformed town. and a clean moral
government. The third candidate
hasn't a great deal 10 say along re-
form and moai lines. Can we then
expect tina II he is elected, to have a
wide open town?
From your paper I judge this town
Is predominateiy bad. II so don't the
Limit" stand a better chance TO be
elected than the two moral champions7
And again II so, haven't these two gen
tlemen conspired to split the moral
and reform vote and thus render 81 an
impossibiiity for either to be elected?
Both of these men are running. Both
have friends and will get votes. and
both will get votes intended TO elect a
mar in favor OF reform.
Now. Mr.. Editor. IL this town IL az
bad rs you say II is. and I believe II is
worse. the lawabiding and moral vote
ought to 60 to man. and one man
alone. IL there IS really m honest q,

Although legion which loved box
ing almost as much as Gavin told him
it couldn't be done, he went ahead

sulting from the investigation termi-
mated the war between the mine or
orators and the striking miners, which
had been raging for many months.
Senator Shields of Tennessee, who
was a member of the committee, holds
that no benefits resulted from the in
vestigation. He said that the only
result was that the committee dis
turbeds the peace of the community,
the trouble between the contending
factions having been almost smoothed
out when the investigation began;
that a good deal of bad feeling was
revived; that the report of the investl-
CATION was publihed at considerable
expense to the government, and that
the reports lay in the document room
of the senate for good while until
they were finally taken out and burn
ed or sold as waste paper.
Borah, johnson Alone
Senators Borah and Johnson believe
| firmly that much good is to result
| from the investigation of the coal
| war which the senate is now under
| taking. They are of the opinion that
no sustaining benefits can be expected
+, from armed intervention on the part
| of the federal authorities. They see
i publicity as the only remedy for the
| situation Practically every other
| senator who has expressed an opinion
| on the subject is of the opinion that
| the investigation is waste of time
| and a useless expenditure of public
| funds
A steadily increasing feeling against
all manner of congressional investiga
| lions is being shown both in the sen
] ate and in the house. This was par

Cite Bergdol Case
Several months ago the house ap-
pointed a special committee of its
members to investigate the Bergdoll
case The investigation extended over
a period of several months and now
that a report has been filed many
members of congress are asking what
good it has accomplished. 1t is prob
able that only a few of them have
read it.
About the only good accomplished
by the special committee which was
appointed by the house to investigate
American war activities was to fur
nish facts and figures which made
good political publicity and which the
Republicans used effectively against
the Democrats during the campaign
last year. So far as known no useful
constructive policies have had their
origin as result of the prolonged in
vestigation of our war activities. But
the cost of the investigation totaled
tidy sum.
