TAYLEsS BONDS WIDELY HELD

Tax-free securities not putocratic, as has
been supposed. report of the investigation made by
the Federal Trade Commission shows that as matter
* of fact, such securities distributed widely and
u rather democraticay.
There about S32 900 of securities either
ss wholly partially exempt Of these, one-haf
held by people of relatively small means. There
sA $4,000 100000 held by corporaton-Nhich in turn
VI are largely owned by people of moderate means.
The totally exempt securities amount to about
81 $4,000 900, of which only one-third are in the
u hands of very wealthy persons.
The mutimillionaire to be sure derives greater
benefit proportonately from his unaxed bond invest
rnent than does the of small income, because the
income tax rate of the former is higher. Therefore
the argument remains for limiting the issuance of tax
free securities because it is playing into the hands of
the very rich But that argument is weakened by the
evident fact that the thrifty folk of less wealth have
len Invested in such securities and still irvesting in
Rihem according to their MEANS and are reaping
are dvantage from them.
Perhaps the strongest objection, after ALL to such
exemption, is that by creating unnaturally good
market among all classes for public loans encour
ages public extravaganza and leads cities and states
unduy into debt, and that in turn checks prosperity

Ly the men and sought to surprise

Indications are that as he enter

shot down in cold blood, for the

was fired at close range, powder
marks peppering his face near the
point where the bullet entered his
head, just above the nose.
Chief Heard Shots
Two blocks away, Chief of Police
p. G. Timboe heard two shots as he
sat in his office. He thought they
were firecrackers, he said, and paid
no attention to them, until pass
erby, who had found the dying pa
trolman, rushed into the chiefs
office.
A large touring car was used by
the four men in making their get
away. Two youths named Rankin
and Ferrell were sitting on the
porch of the formers home short
ly before / a. m. when they saw
four men rush out of the alley bacK
OF the postoffice building and leap
into a touring car standing at the
curb.
At about the same time, Russell
Miller. IS years old, employed In
a restaurant here, was en- route
home in his small roadster when
he saw the body of Sneesby lying
on the floor of the postoffice lobby,
just inside the door.
