Tax Exemption of Value.
Now this tax exemption is of value
to the investor in direct proportion to
the size of his income. The larger q
mans income the more he can afford
to pay for tax exemption. 1t follows
very wealthy persons. Some of them
go so far as to put their entire capi-
tai into this class of security. The
result is that they pay no income
taxes at all. 1t has been argued that
further issue of taX-eXempt securities
should be prohibited and this source
of refuge for large tax payers should
be eliminated. So far Congress has
declined to take this view.
States and cities can sell their
bonds on much more favorable terms
because they are tax exempt than
they could if this privilege were taken
away. However that may be, tax ak
emption is of no Importance to the
small investor. He can get larger
return for his money in a taxable
bond even when the amount of taxes
he has to pay Is deducted from the
return. 1t Is probably true that even
some large investors buy more tax

CHICAGO, Juhe 7.-Sharp Setbacks

You have observed the tendency of industries to center

All this is part of age of specialization Communl
ties districts of the country getting each has it's
speciality, just each individual has his sklled line
Usually industries congregae in particular sections be-
there they close to fuel supply the

But when grade lumber is hauled from the Pacific
Coast to New York which could grow it's lumber and
machinery is hauled from New York to the Pacific Coast

for districts of the country to try to make themselves SELF
