THE TAX EXEMPT BOND EVIL

tells Congress, as he has on several
occasions, that tax exempt securities
constitute one of the greatest eco
nomic evils the country ever has
faced, no man can disprove what he
says.
Moreover, his recent suggestion
that Constitutional amendment be
passed to take way Tie right OF
States to issue tax exempt securities
would be sound and practical and
OF as much benefit ito the States
themselves as to the country at
large IL It were not true that such
an amendment would stand slight
chance OF being ratified by the nee
essary three-fourths vote OF all the
States.
Secretary Mellon himself already
had given Congress the key to the
solution of this problem Before
the tax revision measure was passed
last year he urged that surtaxes be
reduced to a point where tax ex-
empt securities would be unattrac-
tive to big investors. Congress re-
duced the surtaxes from 65 to so
