suggest a three-person board be
appointed, to serve for terms Of

terms to be revolving) and such
members to be not removable,
except for cause, during their
terms We further believe per-

the appointments should be linn

Do Little Good

The Presidents proposal OF a
reciprocal arrangement with the
several state governments, where
by salaries of Federal employees
might be taxed by the States and
State employees taxed by the Fed
eral Government, probably will not
cause too much excitement among
local Federal workers Because,
contrary to belief of some, Fed
eral employees want to be, and are,
good citizens and are willing to
meet responsibilities of citizenship
whether it be taxation or bearing
of arms in defense of their coun-
try. This taX-bar was not set up
either at the request Of the Gov
ernment employe or for his or her
protection. 1T is but part Of a
broad conception of our theory
and form of Government which
zealously guards against any en-
croachment of the State upon
the rights of the nation, or the
nation upon the State. Taxation
of Federal employees by States will,
in effect, be a taxation levied
upon the Federal Government by
the State, inasmuch as salaries in
all walks of life are eventually
based upon the cost of living, and
the Federal Government must, in
normal times, compete with pri-
vate business in obtaining en-
ployes. =. Thus the reciprocal
agreement eventually will result
in the Federal Government and
the States taxing more people to
get more money so that they may
pay more money in hiring person
mel. . 1t is dangerous to depart
from long-tried governmental pro-
cedures as a cure-all in times of
stress, and our opinion is that this
"Swap-dollars'' tax would accom-
plish little, if any, good.

Mozart's Grave Honored

ST. Marx, suburb of Vienna, has
converted its cemetery, where MOI
art was buried. into a children's
park. The composer was inferred
in a mass grave" in 1871 and the
cemetery was closed in 1874 and
since then has been totally neglect
ed. After the authorities decided to
turn it into park they had great
difficulty in finding Mozart's grave,
for it was merely one of the mass
graves in which the poor were bur
red, 80 in a grave, in the Eighteenth
and Nineteenth centuries. A monu-
ment has been erected in the new
park to mark the spot believed to
have been the great musicians final
resting place.
