Fol1oUing is the tert of the

To the Congress of the United
States:
The Sixteenth Amendment to
the Constitution of the United
States, approved in 1918, ex-
preSsly authorized the Congress
to lay and collect taxes on in
comes, from whatever source
derived" That is plain Ian.
guage. Fairly construed this
language would seem to author
ize taxation of income derived
from State and municipal, as
well as Federal bonds, and also
income derived from State and
municipal as we'll as Federal
offices.
This seemingly obvious con-
struction of the Sixteenth
Amendment, however, was not
followed in judicial decisions by
the courts. Instead a policy Of
reciprocal tax immunity was
read into the Sixteenth Amend.
ment. This resulted in exempt
ing the income from Federal
bonds from State taxation and
eXempting the income from
State bonds from Federal taxa
ton.
ADVANTAGES LONG GONE
Whatever advantages this re.
ciprocal immunity may have
had in the early days Of this
nation have long ago disap-
peared. Today it has created a
vast reservoir of tax-exempt
securities in the hands of the
very persons who equitably
should not be relieved of taxes
on their income. This reservoir
now constitutes a serious men,
ace to the fiscal systems of both
the States and the nation be-
cause for years both the Fed
eral Government and the States
have come to rely increasingly
upon graduated income taxes
for their revenues.
Both the States and the ma
tion are deprived of revenues
which could be raised from
those best able to supply them.
Neither the Federal Govern
nent nor the States receive any
adequate, compensating advan.
tage for the reciprocal tax-im-
munity accorded to income de-
rived from their respective
obligations and offices.
A similar problem is created
by the exemption from State or
Federal taxation of great

The Washington times., 1938-04-25


In a special message sent to
both houses, the President as
serted that the language of the
Sixteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution plainly calls for collec-
ton of taxes ION incomes, from
whatever course derived"
Because the courts, through a
series Of judicial decisions, have
read into the Sixteenth Amend
ment a policy of reciprocal tax
immunity, the President voiced
the opinion that those same courts
could correct the situation by fu-
ture decisions. :
For this reason, Mr.. Roosevelt
expressed the belief that it would
be necessary to undertake a con-
stitutional amendment, which he
referred to as cumbersome and
uncertain remedy"
The Chief Executive said that
the continuing practice of issuing
tax exempt securities has created

STOLEN FROM
.CASTELBERG'S.
iLeisurely Thieves
Ignore Alarms
BY JAMES CULLINANE

ny JkANAGS NOAAkGNEAANG
Jewels valued at more than
$4,000 were stolen over the week
end in a daring foray on
Castelberg's jewelry store at 1904
F st. N. w.
Although the store is heavily
wired with burglar alarms, the
robbery was not discovered until
after officials opened the estab,
lishment this morning.
WORK LEISURELY
Apparently unworried over any
danger Of discovery, the thieves
worked leisurely, going from case
to case and selecting only the most
valuable pieces Of jewelry.
A hurried check by store Off
cials revealed the robbers had
made off with diamonds, rubies,
sapphires, emeralds and watches
valued at more than $4,000.
Store officials said a complete
inventory would have to be made
before the value Of the stolen
jewelrys could be determined &C.
curately.
WINDOWS ALSO RIFLED
The thieves gained entrance to
the establishment by crawling
from the roof of an adjoining
building to a window on the Sec
ond floor. Glass was broken
from the window near the latch.
In one show case alone, SIS rings
were stolen, but an equal num-
ber were left behind. The rob
bers even removed a number of
watches and rings from the dis
play windows of the store.
TIPPED OF A ROBBERY
Police received a tip two weeks
ago from an ex-convict that a safe
cracking gang was planning to
rob a jewelry store in the 900
block of F st. N. W. on Sunday,
April II.
Capt. Ira Keck stationed 10 de-
tectives in the store waiting for
the robbery to materialize, but
nothing happened. Last week,
Keck received word from the war
den of San Quentin prison that
the ex-convict tipster has been
making a practice Of informing
police in various cities Of robberies
which fail to materialize.
After the Castelberg robbery was
discovered, Keck said he did not
believe it had any connection with
the tip.

it in the ships safe for her, but she

We all exchanged looks.
What is wrong here? Is there a
magician on board? What is his dis

my little casket. I wonder what he
thought of it. I felt bit of fear.
How will it all end?

To the barkeeper, called: "Give
me a double cOgnac-God knows one
needs drink!'
The barkeeper paid not the slightest
attention to my order. | again called
for a double cognac but he simply
stared at us, his face chalk-white and
his eyes bulged. Suddenly he burst
out:
1.-TWO bundles of dollar bills are
gone-gone from my drawer-$100.00,
the earnings of a week-$100.00."
Thick beads of perspiration were on
his forehead. I will never forget the
face of this mixer and yet 1 suppose
all the other victims of the thief
aboard the S. S. Imperia had looked
just as fearful and as outraged as he.
Perhaps the thief is right here at
the bar j.. who knows? Anyway the
culprit is a wizard; he leaves no trace
of his identity. Each one mistrusts
his neighbor. Suspicion captains the
ship. The thief of the barkeeper's
money must be among us here as no
one has left the room during the last
quarter of an hour.
Everyone was flushed, whether
from anger or shame I do not know.
If from shame, it was shame that
such thing could happen with us all
about the bar. No one said word.

like "AntiChrist," but no one
