clude income from Federal and mu-
nicipal bonds in computing its excise
tax on corporations. That decision was
taken Immediately to mean that no
State could include the income from
Federal obligations in the basis of an
income tax on banks. It was so in
terpreted by most taxing authorities.
In its present opinion the court
makes a distinction by explaining that
income from the tax-exempt securities
was included in the Massachusetts tax
by virtue of an amendment to the
taxing statutes which, it was held, was
specifically intended to reach the in

Division In Court.
1t is interesting to note how closely
the justices adhered to their original
opinion in the controversy. Justices
Holmes, Brandeis and Stone dissented
in the Macallen case. and Justices
Sutherland, Van DeVanter and Butler
diSsented in the present case. Chief
Justice Hughes and Justice Roberts,
who were with the majority this time,
we're not on the bench at the time the
Macallen case was decided.
After the decision by Chief Justice
Hughes last week in the municipal
bond case, tax experts were predicting
freely that the Chief Justice would be
aligned with the Macallen minority IN
deciding the New York case. On more
than one occasion, Mr.. Hughes has
shown that he does not favor technical
attacks on either the Federal OF State
taxing statutes.
Probably no one will be more pleased
with the decision than the banks them
selves. A compromise bill to which
they have agreed is now pending in
Congress. If that bill is passed, it will
give those States which have no income
! tax somewhat more latitude IN taxing

While we are on the subject Of more houses be-

that hardly week goes by but what strangers-no
one but ,aany-drop into The International office
and ask where they can find house to rent.
At loss to answer that question and not icing
in the real estate business only suggest that
they see a real estate dealer
A local person came into our office the other day
and said they would like to build if they could find
suitable lot. We referred them to local real estate
office They replied that the i'll question would
want outrageous price for any lot that they might
have to sell.
We believe that some live-wire real estate man,
such they have in other cities, could come into No
gales and reap harvest selling home-building sites
for a small sum down and small monthly payments:

Nobody knows exactly who started the rumor
that one-cent Indian pieces were taking some mys

would eventually "call in the coins at a premium.
The report grew until letters began coming into the
Treasury from all parts Of the country asking for ver
fication of the rumor. Treasury officials have ex-
planned that the Government pays premium upon
any issue of coins, and that there are millions of one

A pull-on blouse is one of those de-

young woman feel bit grown up and
look younger than ever. In addition
to that, it is marvelously comfortable,
a fact which she will appreciate more
unconsciously. This one is of jersey,
a fabric pleasantly stretchy yet firm,
in that hattering shade which repeats
and intensihes the color of blue eyes,
and is trimmed with navy But almost
the best part of the costume is the
matching beret, in the very newest

MARX THEORY
GUT To FIT

American wheat for Brazilian cof'
fee. but explains that this is
an emergency measure.
The Russians would call this
a "zig-zag." In Germany today
the government controls all but
one large bank.
In England the thousands of
cooperative stores have millions
of members. The economic i'm.
ponderabIes force their way
through in the West as well as
in Soviet Russia.
Leaders Know the People
Americans, with a forgivable
ignorance of Russian history,
usually want to know Row long
the Russian people will stand for
the dictation of the meager CON-
muniStic minority.
Americans forget that the Rus
slams are a Semi-ASiatic people
who have lived under tyranny Tor
more than five centuries and
that Lenin and Stain are of the
race of Ivan the Terrible and
Peter the Great.
The Communist leaders know
more about Russian psychology
and Russian endurance than any
outsider can possibly know and
they realize quicker than anyone
else when they must shift their
policies, or as they say. when
they must "zig-zag."
Americans also forget that the
Russian people have Suff ,rrd dur
ing the past Is years as no other
people have suffered.
They went through tnrtures of
war more severe than experienced
by Belgium or Germany; they
fought in a terrible civil war
which was followed by a famine
that killed more than 100000 900
people.
Then they saw the Communist
dictators gradually raise the
standards of living Of the whole
country.
Russians Far Behind
Americans usually visualize Rus
slams as people Of their own stand
ards. Nothing could be farther
from the facts.
The Russians, particularly the
peasants, who constituted the
great majority of the people, are
at least 100 years behind the west

or they slaughtered their live
stock and chickens and tried to
sell their household goods.
Persuasion has taken the
place of force in the farm col
lectivization program now and
the peasants are allowed to keep
their live stock and fowls, and
are allotted a small garden for
their personal use. Only the
horse, oxen, land and labor are
pooled.
The result has been an in
creased production, much greater
than under the old individual
cultivation.
The same process in reverse
