Conference Is Due
On Staie-FederaI
Tax Immunity Ban
Follows Supreme Court
Ruling Allowing
Reciprocal Toxotion

The bill to remove reciprocal tax
immunity of Federal and State en-
ployes was ready for conference to-
day, the Senate having approved
late yesterday the measure which
previously had passed the House.
The Supreme Court ruled a week
ago that the Federal Government
could tax salaries of State employees
and that State government could
tax the pay of Federal workers.
The bill, approved by the Senate
on voice vote. asserted the inten-
ton of Congress that such taxes
should be collected, but contained
a prohibition against retroactive
taxation. Salaries received prior to
January of this year will not be
subject to levy.
The Senate bill included judges
and members of Congress among
those to be taxed. Under specific
legislation, Federal judges appointed
since 1882 pay Federal taxes, but the
Senate removes immunity from all
judges. Federal and State. Men,
bers of Congress have paid Federal
income tax, but no State taxes.
Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho said he believed the legisla-
ton "unwise," as the amount of
money involved is small and the
State and Federal governments will
be placed in position where they
will be constantly pickering with one
another with reference to taxes
upon their officials"
Senate controversy centered on the
provision imposing taxes on judges.
Senator Brown. Democrat, of Mich
igan, sponsor of the bill, said the
Supreme Court had indicated in the
past that Federal judges salaries
could not be taxed. But, he added,
he was hopeful it would reverse
previous decisions in passing on the
new legislation.
The provision stating members of
Congress should pay both Federal
and State income taxes was inserted
at the request of Senator Connally,
Democrat, of Texas, who said he
wanted the measure to be perfectly
clear on that point.
During debate on the bill, Chair
man Harrison of the Senate Finance
Committee said he had received as
surances that the House Ways and
Means Committee, which originates
tax legislation. would consider soon
measure to lift existing tax exemp-
tions on income from State and
Federal securities.

Underpass Fate Up
ToFinaI Decision
Within Next Month
City Engineer Believes
Final Answers Coming
Before First of July

Within a month Ell Centre
will know whether or not
there will be an underpass
beneath the railroad tracks
at State street.
Prediction that the U. S. Bureau
of Public Roads. which will make
the final decision on the project,
will act before July was made
Monday by City Engineer Philip
Knights upon his return from
Sacramento where late last week
the state highway commission ap-
proved the project.
1--WE should know, yes or no, by
July l. Meanwhile, there may be
a further hearing or conference.
That is not the usual procedure,
however" knights said.
Adding to hopes that the project
will be approved was Knights COM
ment that the Bureau almost in
vt'iably follows recommendations
of the highway commission.
In the event of approval, con-
tracts would probably be let by
the spring of 1910 and the job COM
pleted as soon thereafter as pos
sible.
