BOND ANGLE LIMITED

But even more important, the
court reversal ON the matter of tax
ing salaries acted as a broad hint
that if a test case should be brought,
the court also would permit the
Federal and State government to
tax the income from each others
bonds. In previous decisions it has
forbidden this as a trespass upon
the dual sovereignty of the two
wings of government.
At present there is no test case
pending with reference to bonds.
But the courts action was a sharp
goad to committees drafting legis-
lation with respect to reciprocal
salary taxation. Some still doubt
whether taxation of Government
bonds is constitutional, but legis-
lation is being shaped, for early
consideration, which will try to
anticipate such a decision.

OTHER TAX REVISION

Tax revision ON another front is
advocated by Jesse Jones, RFC
chairman. He is making progress
in his proposal to pave the way for
railroads to pump out their finan-
cial water. He is supporting bills
giving RFC authority to lend
money to railroads to buy depre-
ciated outstanding bonds. Some
railroads now can buy up out
standing bonds at $50 to $50 or
the s100, he said, and insisted they
should be permitted to do it. 1t
would permit railroads to reduce
their burdensome fixed" charges
without too heavy an outlay of
capital.
But in the way, he told the House
Interstate G com m ce Committee,

Lack knowledge

In his rejection OF the Roosevelt
peace proposal, Premier Mussolini
said that it was absolutely unjust
and unjustifiable from any point
of view to attempt to place the ma
tions of the Rome-Berlin axis on
the seat of the accused"
The Premier rejected the idea
of reciprocal guarantees against ag-
erosion not only on the grounds
the proposal did not take into con-
sideration the geographical errors
but also because such proposals
came from individuals without
even the rudimentary knowledge of
European affairs"
