THE TAX STATUS
OF NON-RESIDENTS
(Wall Street JOOrnaI)

Intangible property of non residents
cannot be taxed by New York state, nor
can the income thereof or its succession
be subjected to taxation there. Such is
the declaration of the New York State
y commission, which calls attention
10 a recent amendment of the state con-
stitution providing that intanglbleS shall
be deemed TO be located at the domnclle
of the owner The same rule specltlcaliy
applies i'm case the property Is held IN
trlIst bv a New York trustee for non
resident owner or beneficiary.
This declaration was called forth by
the widespread miSinterpretation. so TAR
as New York State is concerned, of
recent decision of the Supreme Court
which permits both the state IN when
the owner resides and another state IN
which his intangible property Is phySl-
callv lodged or held in trust to tax II.
But the commission, observing that only
New York among all the states has
constitutional bar against such double
taxation. rules that a nonresident may
keep a bank account in New York and
may maintain there trustee or cuSto-
dial securities account or may store Sc
curities in safe-depOSit box in the state
without fear that the State of New York
will levy a property tax thereon, or
personal income tax on the income there
of or death tax at his demise.
It is important to the very consider
able number of non-residents who own
intangibles lodged in New York to un-
derstand the immunity from taxation
which the state constitution guarantees
them. Statements have been published
in other states to the effect that the
Supreme Court decision above referred
TO must have the effect of causing the
removal of a great amount of intangible
property from institutions located in
New York State to the home states Of
its owners AS the commission has made
clear, there is no occasion for such trans
fer

AN OPEN HEARING
FOR HARRY BRIDGES

The Harry Bridges Defense Commit
tee, the name of which sounds suspicious
ly like that of the group which for so
many years drained every drop of con-
tributions possible from persons SYM
pathetic to Tom Mooney, has hit upon
demand which conscientious Americans
cannot very we'll oppose. The committee
is loudly and vociferously demanding
public hearings when the Bridges depor-
tation case comes up July 10.
Bridges should be given an open hear
ing. The full light of honest reporting
should be turned upon his case when 1t
is heard by federal immigration bureau
officers. The people, whose pOcketbOokS
have been hit so hard by Bridges-inspir-
ed strikes, have right to know what
transpires regarding this alien His case
has become so much matter of public
interest that it would be unfair to the
people to hold closed hearing.
We have no sympathy for the Harry
Bridges Defense committee, largely be-
cause we have no sympathy for Bridges.
We believe him an undesirable charac-
ter, a fomentor of unnecessary trouble.
But we would fight shoulder to shoul-
der with the committee to obtain public
hearing of the charges against Bridges.
We should fight for such hearing,
that is, if there were anyone to fight.
Thus far we have heard of no one out
side of the IT, S. Department of Labor
who has even proposed closed hearing,
and we do know if the department of
labor has done so. If it has, however,
we should be inclined to feel that the
closed hearing would react to Bridges
benefit The department of labor has
not yet done anything in the bridges
case which did not help Bridges. 1t has,
in fact, done everything it could to help
him SO it appears that this sensational
drive for public hearing may be moth
ing more than publicity gag on behalf
of the Bridges Defense Committee.
We cannot imagine the American Le-
gion, with its love of fair play, opposing
an open hearing. Yet the Legion is one
of the moving factors in bringing the
Bridges case to a head.
If there is anything underhanded in
the Bridges case, on either side, the pub
lie should know it. A fair, public hear
ing cannot harm anyone-and it GER
tainly can give many people an insight
they have never had into the Bridges
case Let's have the truth, and let's have
it out in public.

THE FORERUNNER OF
a SMALLER WORLD

If a thing which happened late last
week had happened 25 or so years ago,
there might now be no threat of war in
Europe or Asia. 1t was the flight OF an
Atlantic Clipper airboat, carrying the
first airmai from the United States to
Europe.
In a brief span of months airmail over
the Atlantic will be an accepted thing
Passenger service by airline will be
equally common. Europe will be within
a few hours, instead of a few days, of
America.
The potency of such travel lies not
so much in the time saving it accom-
plishes, as in the knowledge it gives one
people of another When the time comes
and it will cOme-that air travel over
the ocean is as cheap as steamship travel
now is, far more people will visit for
eign lands And, visiting them, they
will acquire a greater knowledge and
greater friendship for the peoples of
the other lands.
When the peoples of the world really
know one another. there will be far less
chances of war.

KINDNESS IN THE AIR
(Christian Science MOnitOr)

When Arthur Buckalew and his wife
left Tucson, Arizona. for Oakland, Cali
fornia. to look for work, they left their
dog Sport behind them in a neighbor's
care Although Sport is ''just an ordi-
nary dog" he would not be reconciled
TO his owners absence. He haunted the
grounds of his accustomed home and
refused to eat Day and night he whined
in loneliness. Finally his grief was too
much for Miss Mary Hughston, another
neighbor, and she took the dog to Oak
land by plane to his family who SEEM
ed as happy as Sport at the reunion.
THE neighbors in Tucson must think
I'm slightly crazy said the good Samar-
itan but that dogs misery was just too
touching for mere human to under
stand"
Perhaps this dogs devotion may re-
mind animal owners everywhere, on the
threshold of the vacation season, not to
leave their pets unprovided for when
they leave town. Alas, many dogs are not
even turned over to kind neighbor, but
left to fend for themselves, hungry,
thirsty and lonely. There are the days
when a pet needs and deserves a friend.
