tiftion is met by securing in a concealed

What Tax-Free Securities Are
Doing to American Business.
Views of Farm Bankers.
BY Geo. w. Hinman.

The farm mortgage bankers OF
America did and said many i'm
portant things at their convcn.
ton in Chicago last week. But
the most interesting. part Of their
conversation and propaganda
concerned the rising tide of tax
free securities.
The biggest dronc in the
American hive! That is what
these bankers call the vast mass
OF untaxable investments that is
being set aside daily, separated
and isolated from the active en-
terprisc of this nation S business.
How large is this mass of cap
ital? How fast is it growing? :?
Over $4,000, 100000 of United
States securities and $S,O0O,00U,-
600 of state and municipal securi-
ties will make up the total at the
end of this year. That is nearly
$3.50, 900, 100000 of American
wealth soon will be so segregated
from the industrial and CONNER
cial life of the United States that
it cannot be used to build up the
country or to carry the cost of
the >country's government from
year to year.
This conditions is an evil in it.
self, but that is not the worst.
The evil is growing. In 1912 the
state and municipal issues of tax
free securities amounted to about
t40O, 100000; in 1916 to about
$500, 100000; in 1920 to $773,
100000. Last years issues rose
o 81, 100000, 200, and this years
will be little short of $4,000, ,0O0,-
300.
What the mortgage bankers
over and over again in
heir pamphlets is that these
growing sums are being taken al
most daily from busy hands
hat produce the wealth Of the
country and placed in the hands

20 MILLIONS ASKED IN WAR
FRAUD CASES
Builders Of Camp Funsten Named
in Government Suits.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Civi
suits to recover more than 500,
100000, alleged by the govern
ment to have been frauduently
expended in the construction o1
Camps Upton, jackson, Sherman
and Funston, were instituted to-
day by the department of justice
against the contractors who were
in charge Of each project.
The suits were said in official
circles to be the initial campaign
at law against wartime contract
ors who are suspected, on the
basis Of auditors reports, to have
gone beyond the intent and pur-
pose of the authority given them
by federal departments.
Additional actions are in pros
pect, it was said at the depart
ment of justice, as soon as COM
plete reports have been made by
the special force of auditors,
which has been engaged for fif-
teen months in an analysis OF con
struction records. Whether Grim
inal action would be taken in any
case, it was said, would depend,
to degree, upon the results OF
the civil suits.
Unofficial estimates place the
total which might be expected to-
be recovered from all the con-
struction eases at between $780,
100000 and $SO,OOO,0OO. In the
cases filed today the government
alleged that the HardaWay Con-
Iracting company spent an cx-
less of $6,500,O00 in building

The G. o. P. Drift.

The drift of the Republican
party in the direction of plutoc-
racy is plainly marked from New
berryism to tariff built for the
sole use and benefit of the rich
manufacturer and big business
generally, the ship subsidy, about
to be passed, and nu4erods 9TH
er measures designed to advance
interests of the plutocratic class
aes. That is what brought about
the Republican defeat on Novem-
Der Z in 20 many different states
and it win be the same thing that
1Rill bring greater defeat in 1924.

To Give Way to Solons.

jefferson City, Nov. 24.-Mis-
souri's constitutional convention
will take a rest of four months
unless the action taken today is
rescinded, which is not likely.
The convention adopted the ma
.jority report OF the special COM
mmittee appointed to make sug-
gestions and recommendations as
to taking a recess. The report
provides for a recess from Decem-
Der Is to April 15, 1923.
The report provides that all
employees be discharged Friday,
December 15 except such as, in
the opinion of the committee on
expenditures, may be = deemed
necessary to the temporary clos
ing of the conventions affairs
and for proper preservation and
storing Of its property and rec
Ords.
The majority report declared
that it would be unwise, imprac-
ticable, expensive and unpopular,
and perhaps illegal, for the con-
ventiOn to meet and continue IN
session i'll some other city.
The reason for the recess IS
that with the convening of the
state legislature, little accolnm'-
dations would be available For
the constitutional convention.

CoN-CON FAILS TO REACH
THREE VITAL REPORTS
Recess Will Find Much Import
ant Work to be Done.

Jefferson City, Nov. 25.-Whel
the constitutional. convention re
cesses December 18th until Apr
is, it will still have incomplete
consideration of three of the most
important Of all the committee re.
ports that have been made to the
body.
These reports will be those of
the committee on taxation, the
committee on judiciary and the
committee on counties, cities
and towns. The last named has
been under consideration in the
convention for the past 10 days
and may be completed. 1t car
ries among other things ''home
rule" for the large cities and ex-
tensions Of the boundaries of the
city of st. Louis as we'll as all OF
the scheme for government of the
smaller cities.
1t is possible that the last may
reach the stage of being sent on
to the committee on phraseoicgy
before the recess comes.
OF the reports that have been
sent to the committee on phrase
ology the most important changes
from the present constitution may
be briefly enumerated:
Making provision for establish
ment of budget system for the
state government.
Providing for reorganization Of
the departments of the state gov
ernment.
Making women eligible to hold
any state office.
Amending the initiative and
referendum section of the pres
cnt constitution by increasing the
percentage of signatures required
from to II and from 5 to 8.
Giving political parties tl.F
right to determine themselves
whether they will nominate their
candidates for office by the con-.
vention plan or by primary.
Giving cities the right to estab-
liish revolving funds" for IL
nancing municipal improvements.
Classifying common law
trusts as business corporations.
Numerous other changes cs
minor Importance are carried in
the various reports. The import
ant changes mentioned will still
have to come up in the con> en-
tion for final approval but they
were adopted on the preliminary
vote by such majorities as indi-
cate they will be approved by
the convention in the end. Il

Va ilNid'S VII" oiaipIy ScaVtCh
wealth abroad. How is this
done? What is the processf
Here is little case in point:
An Iowa farm mortgage bank
cr says that New England
client refused to renew $1,000
) 1-2 per cent loan, stating the
ease like this:
! THE annual interest was $11O.
The client s income and local tax
on that amount was $40, leaving
only a net revenue Of $31 for the
$1,000 loan. The client called the
loan and invested the money in
tax-excmpt securities. Had
there been no taX-cXempt securi-
ties awaiting investments he
probably would have renewed
the loan.
"That is only one of thou
sand similar instances that might
be cited" comments the secre-
tary Of the bankers association.
The effect of tax-free invest
ments is the same on industry as
on farming. Roughly, a rich
man today is better off, draws a
larger income, if he buys a 4 IL
per cent taX-free bond than if he
takes ii 8 or 10 per cent indus
trial stock.
The bond is under the. rigid
and unproductivc hand of the
public official, while the stock is
under the active and productive
hand of the American business
man.
For the wealth and welfare of
the people at large the difference
is as that between the quick and
the dead. Yet tens of thousands
of investors are being encouraged
or driven yearly to choose the
dead, to turn their backs on live
American enterprise and to lock
up their capital in IL financial
graveyard.
What is the curc9 One remedy
would be to cut down taxes. But
the national debt is enormous
and the cost Of government is CO.
lossal at best. And for other rea
sons the process would be slow
and the remedy doubtful. SO
the farm mortgage bankers go to
the root Of the matter and advo-
cate an amendment to the Fed
cral Constitution allowing states
to tax national securities and the
national government to tax state
securities. The amendment rs
before Congress. 1t, too, would
be a slow cure but it would be
sure, and has got to come. 1t
should be advocated by every
business man.
In the long run no country
business can develop and prosper
if billions OF wealth at the top
are taX-cxempt for one reason,
and il other billions at the bot
tom are taX-eXempt for another
reason. For, if the millionaires
escape most taxes because they
buy taX-frec securities, and the
men Of small means escape most
taxes because their incomes are
under $4,000 a year, who will be
left to pay the bulk of the bill
lions that our government
spends The persons III between,
the men of moderate means, the
middle class business men. even
though today they are the hard,
rst pressed of all.
No worse adjustment of taxes
could be imagined. The farm
bankers do we'll to i'm
press these facts on the public
mind. Theirs is good propa-
randa. and for the good of the
country deserves to succeed.
