Tax-Exempt Bonds.
Boston News Bureau

The position of tax-excmpt ponds again become
interesting in view of the movement for constitu-
tional amendment prohibit the further issuance of
taxexempt securities Recent Washington dispatches
have foretOd recommendation by the Administration
to the coming session of Congress of such amend
ment The arguments in its favor well known.
1t is conten1ed private enterprise is handicapped
in obtaining capital by the favor accorded municipal
loans, that in many capital is supplied at low
rate to municipal enterprises which in direct
competition with privately owned fully taxed
porations, and that such competition is unfair Pro-
ponents OF the amendment also believe that the ability
to borrow money at lower rates than business
pOratiOns tends to lead municipalities into
gances which will later result in increased tax
burdens.
There are powerful counter-arguments One might
paraphrase famous phrase and say that the way to
reduce the burden industry is to reduce it, by
economy and reduced rates rather than by indirect
means. The opponent of municipal ownership usually
feels that his is strong enough without the
sy of trying to curb the municipal project through
indirectly created higher interest burdens NUM-
cpalities may well feel that the part of
the Federal government their extravaganza is
an unwarranted assumption of virtue the part of
the larger unit. In the 4S state legislatures whose
approval of such proposed amendment must be
sought the most potent argument against it will
doubtless be the fact that the amndmen would tend
to increase the of the Federal government
at the expense of the cities Ratification
by SO legislatures would be required Incorporate
the amendment in our constitution and it may prove
very difficult to secure the assent of many.
Naturally the final enactment of such an amend
ment would have very favorable effect upon the
prices of outstanding municpals, and conservative
investors will watch the progress of the amendment
with great interest. The amount of municpals out
standing is large, however-about SIS ,00O-
O0O,0 900 and sure to grow rapidly while the amend
ment is pendng-that the effect could hardly be i'm
mediate. Only as the number of tax-exempt NUM-
cipals diminished through maturities following the
ratification OF the amendment would the market
probably rise appreciably Ultimately of course the
remaining fragment of tax-exempt muncipals might
command Enthusiastically high prices.
