The Tax Payers Suffer

WITH the approval of President Harding a con
w slit stional amendnent is proposed to put an
end to the further issuance of tax exempt securities
by federal, state and municipal governments.
In a report presented to the house by Representa-
tive Green on behalf of the Ways and Means com
mittee, the ~iniquity of the tax exempt bond is point
ed out 1.-THE existence of conditions that enable
any municipality or political subdivision to issue
tax free securities is a constant temptation to issue
such securities in q larger amount than is neces
sary!"
Every dollar of government bonds which escapes
taxation doubles the load which remaining taxable
property is assessed to pay.

Contemplated Reduction

THE PRESIDENT and his cabinet are seriously
l. considering a reduction in the rates on second
class postal matter. Because of the high rates es-
tablished during the war, it is said that many
publishers now transport their goods by private
means and that express and railroad companies
carry tons of periodicals. that would be diverted
back to the mails if the postal rates were lowered.
1t is Gained by the publishers that any decrease
in revenue due to the lower rates would be more
than compensated by the increased business. Post
master General Work looks at the matter from a
purely business standpoint, and will common the
change if he is convinced the department will not
suffer thereby.
