Tax Exenpts

Financial writers claim there
are more than | ! billions of dol
lars invested in tax exempt Sc
curities, and that this enormous
sum is INCREASING at the rate
of a BILLION DOLLARS a
year.
Not a cent of this eleven bill
lions is taxable by federal or
state governments. So far as
carrying its direct cost of gov
eminent is concerned, this sum
does not exist.
Not only must the man with
a taxable income carry his pro-
portion of the cost Of govern
ment, but he must also pay a
part of the taxes that should be
levied on the investor with non
taxable securities.
The Atlanta Georgian thinks
the main trouble with our tax
system is that the big fellows
with large incomes are escaping
taxes, and the Georgian
charges that this is direct per-
version of justice. saying
The rich escape their fair
share in the cost of government
by investing their money in tax
exempt bonds. There are ST.
000,000,000 of these securities
now outstanding, and they are in
creasing at the rate of $1,000,
100000 a year.
Rich men put their money in
these securities. SO would every
reader Of this paper, if he were
rich, do likewise
Now, just what are these tax
exempt bonds? They are ho0d~
issued by the states and thai~
sub-divisions-cities counties and
towns.
1t has been accepted as a GER
tain rule that the Federal Gov
eminent had no right to tax these
securities on the ground that it
would be interfering with the
sovereignty Of the states.
The original constitution, With
out doubt, intended this protec-
tion for the states and their sub
divisions. However, the six
teenth amendment to the consti-
tuition empowering the Federal
Government to levy income taxes,
reads as follows: THAT Congress
shall have power to levy and
collect taxes on income from
WHATEVER SOURCES De
RIVED"
1t is beginning to dawn upon
eminent lawyers that this con-
stsutional amendment, letting
the Federal Government tax in
come from whatever sources de-
rived" really removes the tax
exempt feature from state and
municipal bonds.
That being true, nothing stands
in the way of Congress enacting
a law extending the provisions of
the income tax to incomes from
these securities.
Let US have such a law prompt
ly introduced into Congress. Let
these 'tax-exempt' securities bear
their share of taxation. LET
THE $1,000, 100000 OF
Sinking CAPITAL BE RAR-
MESSED TO WORK WITH THE
REST OF US.
Then, if the Supreme court
should declare the law unconsti-
tutional, we can revert to that
slow eXpedient, a constitutional
amendment
In the above, Hearst's hnancia
writer presents a new angle K
this tax exempt discussion, il
that it may be possible to pro
coed under the sixteenth amend
ment to the Federal Constitu
ton.
Every dollar invested or lay
ing idle should bear its fair pro
portion of the tax burden. Tax
ing the idle dollar will cause it
owner to put it to work, in ou
opinion. S&s

GAMBLING

One generation is about the same
as another. during 1928 nearly
243 million shares of stock were
bought and sold on the New York
Stock Exchange. Practically three
times as much as in 1918, that
easy-going year before the war
started.
And yet, digging into old newspa-
per files, we find that over 265 mil
lion shares of stock were traded in
1901 U. S. Steel was being born
then, and the possibilities in other
fields touched match to the gam
bling instinct.

AGO

AS far back as 1922, the NUNS
Der of shares of stock changing
hands on the New York Exchange
was nearly half as big as 1928.
The country grew a lot in those
al years. Make yourComparison
relative, with this in mind, and
you'll begin to wonder if Americans
weren't bigger gamblers years ago
than they are now, OF course, there
were more wash sales.
The lure Of easy moncy-the de-
sire to get something for nothing
never loses its strength. Many a
cave man lost his life, taking a
chance on being able to kill big
ger beast than ever had been killed

NEW YORK, April 12.-Capt- Robert
Rosenbluth yesterday surrendered to
federal authorities and posted $4,000
bail to guarantee his appearance in
seattle to stand trial for the murder
Of Maj Alexander P. Cronkhite at
Camp Lewis, Wash, in 1918.
Thus ended the fight Rosenbluth
had waged for two years to evade

the ground that the grand jury by
which he and Corp. Roland r.
Pothier were jointly indicted for the
crime lacked proper jurisdiction.
The officers action yesterday fol-
lowed a supreme court decision of
last week that the place to challenge
Jurisdiction was in the court where
he was indicted. Col. Herbert Leh-
man, banker and philanthropist, put
up $4,000 worth of liberty bonds for
Rosenbluth.

H. BARROW
DIES SUDDENLY IN
WASHINGTON, D. C

Frank H. Barrow, correspondent at
Washington for several Wyoming pa
pers, dropped dead in Washington
City last Wednesday night.
Mr.. Barrow, who was a pioneer
journalist of Wyoming, had resided
in Washington for the last six years,
having gone there as private secre-
tary to Frank w. Mondell, then con-
gresham from Wyoming. His health
has been poor for several months, but
at no time was his condition regarded
as critical. He had contemplated re-
turning to Wyoming soon, to re-enter
the newspaper game in this state.
Mr.. Barrow's newspaper experience
probably covered more Wyoming
towns than that of any other man
who has been associated with Journal
ism in this state.
Serving as confidential assistant to
Congressman Mondell, Mr.. Barrow
was intimately associated with affairs
of national government during the
period of Mr.. Mondell's leadership of
the Republican majority of the lower
house of the Congress. When Mr..
Mondell was succeeded by Represent
alive Longworth of Ohio, as Republi-
can floor leader, he retained Mr.. Bar
row in the position of confidential adj
wiser.

DAIRY MEN PROTEST PASSING ON.
INCREASED POWER CHARGES
AS WELL AS EXTRA CROP COST

AS a result of mass meeting held
by leading Tulare and Kings coun-
ties dairymen at the Goshen Plant
of Golden State Milk Products Co.
last week, "a vigorous protest was
made before the Railroad Com
mission when the application of
Southern California Edison Com.
panv for an Is per cent increase in
rates due to drought conditions
was heard in Los Angeles on July
IA and Is.
B. II. Rawl, for 16 wears, execu-
tive of the dairy division of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, and now assistant general
manager of the Golden State Milk
Products Company, was present at
the meeting at the invitations of the
dairvmen, and On the earnest soli-
citation of the dairymen, appeared
before the Railroad Commission at
the Los Angeles hearing.
Rawl also voiced the protest of
800 dairymen stockholders of the
company which he represents, as
we'll as over 1000 patrons of Golden
State Milk Products Company
throughout California--who viii be
directly affected by any general
ruling of the commission allowing
the power company to increase their
rates during the present season.
In taking the witness stand be-
fore the Railroad Commission, ON
behalf of the dairy farmer, Rawl
said in part:
"This is no time to saddle Cali
fornia farmers with increased pow
er charges.
"The present raise in power rates
is requested on account of the
drought which has caused a short
age of water and of course has in
creased the cost of power, but the
drought that caused the shortage Of
water for power has also caused
