GONG. j.. JOSEPH
 SM|TH'STAXBILL
Will Abolish Tax Exemp- tiOns on All Federal,
 State Securities
Especial to The DemOcrat)

Especial to The DemOcratI
 Washington, D. C., Nov. N.-A bill proposing an amendment to the Constitution which would abolish tax exemption on income from all federal and state securities, and on income from salaries paid by federal and state governments, will be tr1- troduced in the house Monday by Cong. J. Joseph Smith.
 This amendment, according to MT. Smith, would do away with an un- warranted privilege accorded to a special class of citizens, and the re- sulting revenue would amount to hundreds of millions.
 More Than Compensate
 Pointing out that some modifica- ton, or possibly repeal of the url- distributed profits tax is demanded in order to help business and in- dustry, Cong. Smith declared that taxation of incomes which are now exempt would more than compensate for the deficiency in revenue caused by modifying or repeating the url- distributed profits tax.
 "There is no justification for giv- ing preferred status to holders Of government securities or govern ment positions, as distinguished from those who derive their income from other securities or other sources" Smith said. This im- proper discrimination should be re- moved. All citizens should look alike to the tax collector.
 States Get Authority
 "By this amendment states are au- thorized to tax income from fed- eral securities and salaries and the federal government is empowered to tax income from state securities and salaries.
 "Tax-exemption has been defend- ed as a device to obtain for the gov- ernment a lower interest. This argument is demolished by plain proof that the additional income flowing into the treasury from taxa ton on these securities would be far greater than the loss through an increase of interest, particular ly when it is considered that a very large proportion of government se- curities are held by persons in the higher income tax brackets.
 Stops Discrimination
 "An amendment drawn as this one is will prohibit discrimination in favor of either federal or state gov- ernments, thus abolishing the his- toric objection that the power to tax would give one government a degree of control over another.
 T believe this amendment should be adopted by the congress and ratified by the people of the states in conventions. am convinced, after a long study of the question, that 1t is a duty to press for such an amendment. I realize that it will meet with opposition in some places, but also know that soon or late it is bound to prevail, as 8 reform long overdue"

National Commander John De Pastino of this city announced to- day that since the national conven- ton held in New Britain ending on August 29th, the Italian American World War Veterans of the U. S. has expanded rapidly throughout many states. At the close of the convention there were only two state departments established, the Connecticut and Massachusetts de- partments and only one chartered post in New York state in the city of Utica.
 Now the activities of the organi- zation cover the additional states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary land, Ohio, Illinois and California.
 Meeting Tomorrow
 Enough posts have been organized or have affiliated with the organiza- tion throughout the state of New York so that a meeting will be held in Utica tomorrow afternoon at which several posts in that state will meet for the purpose of form ing the New York state department.
 Commander De Pastino predicted that the New Jersey and Pennsyl- vania state departments will be formed during the coming month of December. A meeting has been scheduled for Jersey City on De- cember 18th and one for Philadel- phia for the latter part of Decem- Der.
 Large cities where the activities of the organization and formation of new posts have extended since the convention include New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Maryland, Pittsburgh, Jersey City and Columbus, Ohio.
