WASHINGTON, April At is es- timated that approximately $15,000,- 0O0,0O0 worth of tax exempt securi- ties have already been issued by the Federal Government and the states, cities and other political subdivisions of the country.
 In the judgment of Representative Louis T. McFadden of Pennsylvania, chairman of the House Banking and Currensy Committee, it is high time to call a halt The flood of tax-free securities he considers "gross viola tion of social justice" in permitting the evasion of taxation by wealthy i tax dodgers.
 'It is estimated" said McFadden, "that more than $1,000,000,000 of state and municipal tax-free securities were issued in 1920 alone. In that year, if these securities were held by the wealthy whose federal income tax was 73 per cent of their total income, the JOSS to Ile SOFeluIllSut Welo ofS' $35,O000OO, if the interest rate on these securities averaged 5 per cent"
 McFadden, who was formerly presl- dent of the Pennsylvania Bankers As sociation and who is recognized as one of the foremost financial experts in Congress, is seeking to have the Con- stitution amended so that Congress would have the power to tax the in come from securities issued by the states and their political subdivisions, and the states would in turn be per mitted to tax securities issued by the {, Federal Government.
 PROPOSES REFERENDUM
 He has joint resolution pending in Congress to provide for a nation wide referendum on his proposed amendment, which would have to be

ratified by quarters, or thirty ties to be made taxable.
 In response to his request for an ex- pression of their attitude, the Gov ernors of Idaho, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Arkansas, Indiana Alabama, Delaware, Utah and Georgia replied that they were favorably disposed toward McFadden's proposal to prohibit the economic evil of tax-free securities" in conformity with the Presidents suggestion to that end in his message to Congress in December
 The Governors of Mississippi, Lou siana, Oregon, Vermont, West Vir- ginia, Wisconson and Missouri sent McFadden non-committal replies, while the Governors of but six states Maine, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Maryland and Massachusetts, expressed opposition.
 McFadden is confident that once his resolution is passed by Congress his proposed constitutional amendment will receive the approval of an over- whelming number of states.
 "WoRkERs BEAR BURDEN"
 "The issuance of tax-free securities makes possible the creation of two classes" McFadden stated, "the wealthy, free from burdens of taxa tion, and the workers, who are forced to bear the burden from which the wealthy are relieved.
 "This unquestionably constitutes a violation of social justice which is crystallizing in widespread discomfort. If the issuance of tax-free securities is permitted to continue a social up- heaval will occur which may be so

FAIRBANKS MAN DIES
 AFTER LONG ILLNESS

John Bucci, one of the early resi- dents of Fairbanks died at his home there last week. His case was incur able and his suffering intense, but he steadfastly refused to go to a hospi- tai, preferring to die in his cabin. Bucci was not a pioneer, though eligible, and the local igloo conducted the funeral services.

far-reaching in it's effect as to under mine our constitutional government.
 'In the last few years we have seen the personal wealth of the coun- try so rapidly segregated into the tax free class that, whereas the taxable income of individual taxpayers under the federal income tax law was $992,- 972,985 in 1916, the amount decreased to $731, ,372,O53 in 1917 and to $3O2,- 247,329 in 1918.
 '1t is not to be supposed that the actual income of taxpayers had thus decreased. On the contrary, it is a reasonable conclusion that many of them had converted their wealth in to tax-free securities so rapidly that it would practically free all of income taxes by 1922.
 WEALTHY INVESTOR RECEIVES"
 "The wealthy investor receives as much net return under the present tax law from 5 per cent exempt se- curities as from a taxable industrial i investment paying over 10 per cent.
 "Railways,' public utilities and other industrials' cannot compete on this basis and are now being de- prived of the capital which they need for expansion. This is a serious han dicap to normal progress of industry which should be terminated.
 There can be no doubt that the of the ease in obtaining funds which they provide, encouraging public in- debtedness, public extravaganza and public inefficiency-in other words, a waste of public funds so raised
 Allowed to continue, the issuance of tax-exempt bonds also encourages all political units issuing such bonds to rapidly approach their bonding limit, when the tax burden thus cre- ated may become so heavy as to force confiscation of their property.
 "CREDlT BECOMES IMPAIRED"
 "As the bonding power of the cities become exhausted their credit position also becomes impaired, and to that extent the credit position of the state also becomes impaired. The credit position of a state cannot be- come impaired without also impair ing the credit position of the govern ment.
 My proposal to amend the Consti- tuition would place all forms of in- vestment on an equal basis of compe- tition and establish equality in the assumption of the tax burden by all the people. The principles of the Constitution are now being under mined by the inequalities of taxation, resulting from the. issuance of tax free securities.
 "My proposal would not increase taxes in any manner whatsoever. It would merely change the method of taxation and equalize the distribution of the burden of taxation"
