LEVY ON INCOME
OF TAX-EXEMPT
BONDS WEIGHED
Supreme Court Studies
Appeal in Iowa Case

QN.s.) The Supreme Court to-
day considered an appeal attack.
ing right Of the State Of Iowa to
tax income from State tax-exempt
bonds-a case which may have
far.reaching influence on other
States hunting new sources OF
revenue.
The issue was raised by Henry
o. Hale and wife, wealthy 1owans,
who bought $75O,00O of various
classes Of State and local tax
exempt bonds.
VIOLATION CHARGED
In their appeal they contended
that the Iowa income tax law OF
1884, under which the State seeks
to collect income tax on interest
from the bonds, violates a contract
made by the State when the bonds
were purchased.
Defending its right to levy the
tax, the State commended that the
exemption applied only to taxes in
effect when the bonds were sold.
Iowa laws, beginning in 1909,
provided for tax exemption on
various classes of State, county
and municipal bonds.
STATE DEFENDS TAX
"This tax" said the brief of
attorney for the Hales, was i'm
posed only because Of appel
lantS' received interest inuring
to them from the bare fact of
their ownership Of the bonds. 1t
seems self-evident that when
Iowa promised not to tax the
bonds, that fairly meant no tax
would be imposed because Of
their ownership"
Attorney General John H. Militia
gill, in his brief, asserted that
there is nothing contained in the
laws here under consideration
upon which this court could say
that the legislature intended to
exempt such bonds from taxation
for all times to come"
Should the State win, lawyers
pointed out, legislatures Of all 48
States could enact new tax laws
to tax income on bonds issued in
the past under a promise Of tax
exemption.

HULL'S ATTITUDE

This is not said In q critical
spirit, but it is a statement Of an
inherent right Of the citizens of a
democracy. The people should
know when their ruler approaches
war. We know the attitude of Mr..
Hull, and the ambulatory ambas-
sador, Mr.. Norman Davis, and we
know perfectly well that Mr.. Davis
would not be going to Brussels
unless in advance a program had
been agreed on between England
and this country. We know per
fectly well that If Mr.. Davis fol
lowed his own bent, he would re-
turn to America with the cheering
news that England expects every
American to do his duty.
According to the International
lists the signatories of the nine
power treaty are to be called to-
gether. Suppose, as is likely. they
decide Japan must be stopped,
who is to furnish the men and
the money? If Japan is not
'quarantined' by the remaining
signatorieS of the nine-power
treaty, and they indulge in notes
with a diminishing crescendo, will
not our country'S conduct be
deemed pusillanimous and ridic-
ulouS?
Again the President apparently
assumes the leadership Of the
League of Nations, the wild ambi-
ton of the internationalists sur
rounding him, and the League
under his leadership decides upon
levying sanctions against Japan.
The navy OF what nation Is to be
employed to stop the ships of
those taking supplies to Japan?
However this thing is considered,
unless we mean nothing but
words, the ultimate answer must
be the exercise Of force-war.
CITES MISTAKE"
England looks to the United
States with enthusiasm as we
now assume the leadership. Do
we forget so soon? Americans
must remember the humiliating
episode when Japan began her ag-
gresSions against China, and our
own Secretary. of State, Mr.. Slim
son, courageously interposed him
self. Americans must remember
now he marched boldly on, hug
ging to his bosom the loud praises
of Sir John Simon and the
encomiums o fthe English press.
We cannot forget that at a cru
cial time when Mr.. Stimson looked
to find Mr.. Simon, that gentleman
was nowhere around but was in
London telling the English Parlia-
ment that England was neutral.
It was humiliating episode and
the fear that we are running again
into just this sort of thing is the
justification for this statement.
Americans remember even If
their government does not. Ameri-
cans with almost absolute unanim-
ity cry-keep us out of this, mind
our own business, we want no
combination with the League of
Nations or its members. we want
no war.
