HULL SEEKS LEVY
ON j. S. SECURITIES
Offers Amendment to End
Exemption of Tax-Free
Incomes.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

All securities issued by the Federal,
State or municipal governments in
future would be subject to the Federal
income tax as we'll as the State taxes,
under the terms of an amendment to
the Constitution introduced today in
the Senate by Senator Cordell Hull Of
Tennessee, who is expected to be a
member Of the Roosevelt cabinet in
the coming administration.
Senator Hull also proposes in his
resolution that all salaries and fees
paid by the United States Government
or by any State government shall
hereafter also be subject to the in
come taxes.
There is proviso in the resolution
however, that Congress in time of war
may exempt for period not exceeding
five years securities issued by the Fed
eral, State or municipal governments.
Senator Hull declared the policy of
the Federal, State and municipal gov
ernments, leading to the issuance OF tax
exempt securities, has encouraged ex-
travagant expenditures and lis driving
the Nation into a condition wherein
there is gradually arising a great idle
class living on taX-exempt incomes"
Senator Hull, who recently went to
Warm Springs, Ga, at the invitation
of President-elect Roosevelt to talk over
questions of taxation, said today CT his
proposed constitutional amendment:
THE constitutional amendment pro-
posed would authorize a Federal CT
State tax on incomes from Federal,
State and municipal securities except
to the extent that a contractual tax
exemption was given prior to their issu-
ance. The amendment would give the
Congress control over all tax exemption
in the future, limited to five years In
time OF war.
There can, Of course, be no con-
tractual exemption without a contract.
Broadly speaking, there are three classes
of cases to be considered; the first is
where an act authorizing obligations de-
clares that they shall be exempt from
taxation. This is the practice used in
authorizing certain CT our Liberty bonds
and Treasury certificates. The second is
where at the time of the issuance of
obligations there is general act pro-
viding that obligations of the kind is
sued shall be exempt from taxation.
This class Is frequent in State legisla-
tion. The third class is where at the
time of the issuance obligations of the
kind issued are not in fact taxed, either
because they are not expressly named or
are even expressly excepted, without
being declared exempt. This class is

Further Pay Cuts Are Barred
in Measure as Adopted
by Senate Vote.
FIVE PER CENT SAVING
ON FUNDS ORDERED
Rainey Says House Leadership
Favors Most of Changes Made
by Upper Chamber.

The Senate and House will name con-
ferees today or tomorrow to settle the
fate Of the many changes the Senate
made in the general economy program
during the past two weeks, including
the mandate to department heads to
save per cent of next years appropria-
tions without reducing salaries. and the
sweeping powers to enable the incoming
President to reorganize the Govern
mert service
Although the Senate voted In adopt
ing the Bratton amendment, to require
the head of each department or inde-
penses next year by per cent below
his total appropriation, it wrote into the
bill prohibition against making fur
ther wage cuts or ordering furloughs to
accomplish this saving. A few minutes
later the Senate also voted down the
specific new pay cut Of 125 per cent
the committee had recommended.
Present Eurlough Continued.
Thus, the/senate, on two roll call
votes, declared itself against any further
cut in the pay of Government workers,
leaving in the bill as it goes to confer
ence only the continuation for another
year of the present 8ls per cent cut In
the form Of furlough.
The measure was said by Repre-
sentative Rainey, the Democratic lead
70 hau nf "a
the House save in few instances.
He said consideration would have to
be given the Bratton amendment and
predicted it would be difficult to apply
the per cent cut on many items pro-
vided for under legislation.
The only danger which confronts
Government employees as a result of yes
terday's action Is the prediction made
by some Senators during the debate
that department heads would have to
dismiss some employees in order to ac-
compnsh the S per cent saving, since
they are forbidden to make the saving
by wage cuts or f6rloughs.
There is in the bill continuation
Of the administrative furlough clause"
which was enacted last year to enable
department heads to make temporary
layoffs rather than dismissals when
ucCcoSdTy W Keep WlILllu TcuuCcQ dp-
preparations. The restriction attached
to the per cent saving amendment,
however, says that in making any re-
ductions in expenditures provided for in
this section no wage cuts or furloughs
shall be ordered.
New Economies Included.
When the bill passed the Senate
shortly before 10 o'clock last night, 1t
called for new economies aggregating
about $165 900 900 for the next fiscal
year. AS the bill came from commit
tee several weeks ago, the entire pro-
gram of new economies amounted to
about $45,000, 900.
On the Senate floor, however, more
than half of this sum was eliminated,
principally through defeat of the 125
per cent pay cut, estimated to save
$17,000,000, and rejection of a 10 per
cent cut on pensions and compensation
payments Of certain veterans, estimated
to save about $8,570,000.
Then came the Bratton amendment
directing each department or agency to
save 5 per cent Of whatever Congress
allows 1t, estimated to be $145, 900 900
for the entire service. This, together
