thing of a reflection on our system
OF education to hear people who

errors that put them in ridiculous

EDITORIAL
OF THE DAY
TAX.FREE BONDS

Any proposal to eliminate the tax
lodging made possible through tax
free bonds is likely TO be popular. It.
is well known that billions Of dollars
of income have escaped the federal in
come tax in recent years because they
came from tax free bonds, national.
state and municipal. The rich tend to
invest their savings in such securities
more than do the humber investors
because they save more money by it
their income tax rate is 80 much higher.
AS result, not only is a vast amount
of income escaping federal taxation but
great deal of capital is thus kept from
productive, constructive use.
1t seems doubtful, though, whether
federal amendment such as the one
favored by the house ways and means
tax-free securities by either state or fed
eral government, would meet the ap-
proval of enough state legislatures to
put it over. The states will not lightly
surrender their own power in this mat
ter, because tax-exemption gives them
better market for bonds.
1t is questioned, moreover, whether u
federal amendment is really necessary
for the purpose. Some authorities, diff
fering with the house committee. hold
that the sixteenth amendment, which
authorized congress to LAY and collect
taxes on income from whatever sources
derived" thereby gave congress power
to tax incomes from state and municipal
securities even though such securities
are legally exempt from state and mum
cipal taxation.
II this power exists. congress surely
had better exert It than resort to III,
more cumbersome and doubtful process
of constitutional amendment.-Demo
