LOSSES LARGE IN
EXEMPTED ISSUES
Secretary OF Treasury Mellon
Will Ask Aid of Congress on
Equalization of Tax Laws
WOULD RELIEVE TAX BURDEN
Declares Such Securities Encourages
Growth OF Public Indebtedness and
Tends TO Divert Capital From
Productive Enterprises.

Washington. ID. C.-Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon was planning to ask
aid OF Congress soon on equalization
OF the tax laws
A wealth of securities estimated to
total S1O,OOO.OO0,O00 now are paying
no share towards relieving the nation
al tax burden, according to one esti-
mate in the possession of Mr.. Mellon
These are bonds and certificates is
sued by the city, state and county gov
ernments.
The existence OF this mass OF ex-
empt securities constitutes an eco
nomic evil of the first magnitude" :"
according to Secretary Mellon
The continued issued of tax-exempt
securities encourages the growth OF
public Indebtedness and tends to di-
vert capital from productive enter
prise. Even though exemptions OF
outstanding securities cannot be dis
turbed. it is important that future is-
sues be controlled or prohibited by
mutual consent of the state and fed
eral governments"
Several billions of the present gi-
gantic total of tax-exempt securities
are bonds of the federal government.
The entire First Liberty Bond issue
of nearly s2,OOO,OOO 900 is EXEMPT
from taxation.
This is why bonds OF this issue sell
at nearly par value. The other Lib
erty Bond issues and the Victory Nots
issue are partially exempted.
According to the census bureau re-
ports. at least $4,000 100000 OF tax
free securities now are outstanding
from state and city governments.
There are no reports on bonds issued
for school purposes
Ten billions in outstanding tax-free
securities means that annual income
OF approximately s5O0,O0O,OOO is re-
ceived by their owners without a sin
gle tax obligation This is about one
thirtieth OF the entire net income of
all the federal income taxpayers in
the United States.

ing, while critical housing situation
has developed with about lii families
for each 100 homes.
The chief reliance of the country in
the necessary financing of home build
ing, IN the opinion of Mr. Hoover. must
be the savings institutions. with a total
of $22 O00.00O,0OO available. From
these sources he believes il will be
found, after eliminating building and
loan societies and actual savings
banks. who devote about so per cent
OF their deposits to home building. that
the savings departments of national
banks. trust companies and insurance
companies. comprising more than one
half o. the total. probably do not loan
more than 10 or Is per cent of their
savings assets to housing.
Mr. Hoover has suggested that 40
or so per cent of the nearly $3.50 OOO,-
600 of deposits in postal savings banks
could be diverted to this purpose. as
well as larger proportion of savings
deposits OF national banks, through
