An Unplucked Tax Melon
BECAUSE of the decialonlavast
field of income now is taxed
not at all or only by one govern-
mental division.
Senator Byrd of Virginia, con-
servative though he is, began the
drive in 1937 to break down the
t: J. doors and the President put
his weight behind it last session.
Byrd declares an amendment is
necessary but the President seems
tight
decision. In that
- By PRESTON GROVER
\TCTASHINGTON—Pressure from New Deal and conservative
VY sources alike is bearing down already to force congress to
act this coming session on one of the toughest dishes on its bill
of fare—legislation eliminating tax exemption from salaries and
securities of state and federal gov- "
ernments.
By a long series of decisions
beginning with Chief Justice John
Marshall, the'sutttetae court has
held that the federal government
can tax its own employes and se-
curities but "an't tax those of the
states. In turn, the states cannot
tax those of the federal govern-
ment. The result has been a huge
no-man's land in which billions in
capital has hidden from the tax
gatherer.
Supporters of such exemptions
argue that with the power to tax
state securities and salaries, the
federal government coulu ham-
string the states by discriminatory
taxes and so destroy the dual state-
federal system of government.
Answering argument is that mem-
bers of congress, who enact tax
legislation, never would permit
destruction of their own state gov-
ernments.
• •
Previous Attempts Failed
REPEATED efforts to break
down this barrier by simple
legislation have failed. In 1913 the
constitution was * amended to
permit the federal government to-
tax income "from whatever source
derived."
To many lawyers, Including
President Roosevelt, that- lan-
guage is broad enough to permit
federal taxes on any sort of in-
come, including state salaries and
interest on state bonds. But when
tl.a inevitable test case arose three
later the court t ok a dif-
jt view. i .
The court went back to thi con-
gressional debates on the amend-
ment and decidcd that congress
intended only to nullify an old
constitutional requirement that
federal taxes should tor levied
upon the states according to popu-
lation. That old provision had
I barred income taxes because they
•re always largest in the bit; busi-
ness states, such as New York.
The court held that the amend-
ment was not designed to reach
NEW sources of taxes, such as state
to think the present court mi]
reverse the old decision
case a simple act of congress
would accomplish the rick.
As it stands now. 37 billion dol-
lars of federal securities, paying
approximately a billion a; year in
interest, is exempt from state
taxes. (Most of this debt is not
taxed by the federal government
either, but a simple act of con-
gress can change that)
In addition, It is shown by fig-
ures from official sources quoted \
by Senator Byrd. 800,000 federal
employes drawing $1,500,000,000
in salary are exempt from state
taxes while 4,000,000 state and
local officials, with their six bil-
lion dollar payroll, do not pay fed-
eral taxes.
""Various sources indicate ap-
proximately 60 billion of public
securities, paying interest oftwo
billion of more-yearly,-a/e exempt
in part from federal or state levies.
The bulk is in the hands of private
corporations or individual*.
A stiff fight is ahead. Legislation
ending such exemptions not only
subjects a congressman's salary to
state taxes but brings upon his
neck the myriads of federal em-
ployes who don't want to pay state
taxes, and state employes who
don't want to pay federal. Big and
little investors in tax-exempt se-
curities Will be there too.

"JyJOW," said Willy Nilly, "my
whose name is Sweet
sing a little bleating
lamb,
Face, will
song."
Sweet Face stood before the
little girl and though he longed
for ^jis meadow and felt ratner
foolisn with, a ribbon around his
neck he sang his best bleating
song. It went like this:
Bleat, bleat, bleat,
.i Things can be sweet, sweet, sweet.
Or they can be sad, sad, sad,
But let's be glad, glad, glad.
"Oh, you adorable lamb," cried,
the little girl, "I almost think I
understand you and you have the,
Sweetest face in the world. Please
come and sit by me." -
k The lamb went over and sat by
the little girl and her parents were
happy, forU was the first real in-
terest she~fiad shown in anything.
Now Rip stood on his hind legs
and danccd and did sums in arith-
metic. Then the ducks gave a
quacking chorus and had a wad-
dling race. After this Christopher
, Columbus Crow had a contest with
Top Notch. Christopher tried caw-
ing as long as he could without
taking a breath and Top Notch
tried to beat him in crowing. No
one quite knew jyho really won
because Top Notch did take a
breath or two even though he
lasted mucU longer.
Th&n Jelly Bear and Honey Bear
had a wrestling match, and the
cubs pretended that they were
worried and tried to stop them.
Then all the Puddle Muddlers
took hold of each other's wing or
paw or webbed foot and danced
..around in a circle singing:
We've all been off a-traveling,
We're not eally at our best,
But if you clap your hands for us
We'll feel we've met the test.
The little girl" clapped and
clapped anyway and wanted to
pat each Puddle Muddler.
The bears bowed low at . Chris-

Willy Nilly's head and bowed so
deeply that he fell right off— which
was what he had intended to do.

The two—Hollywood and Moran

that, naturally.
With him he brought two impor-
tant character actors, discovered
on the hide of an Alaskan timber
wolf slain—in hand-to-hand com-
bat of course—by our hero. Not 4
only that, he sold the actors—'
trained fleas—to Paramount to re-
place the famed Sam and Sadie.
Sam and Sadie were those effete
New Yorkers imported to bite
Claudette Colbert for "Zaza." They
'bit but couldn't take it. Jim Moran
heard ol their passing, rushed
jjown to the rescue. His own pets,
he claimed, were ideal for the roles
—docile troupers with artistic
souls undaunted by life-long snow-
blindness. That he sold his charges
to the studio is only more remark-
able because "Zaza" was already
finished and they didn't NEED any
fleas. But that's Moran,
« *
HE FIRST attracted coast atten-
tion by his one-man expedi-
tion from home (Washington,
D. C.) to hunt that famed "sea-
monster" in San Francisco bay. He
didn't catch it, but he did catch
headlines.
He works—or used to—for a
Washington recording company.
But he exhibits now a wire (col-
lect) from his organization. Its gist:
"So you want rponey, eh? Think
wtf're Santa Clatis? You're fired."
That telegram, it seems, puts a
sort -ordo-or-die aspect on Jim's
newest enterprise. From the heart
of a primeval Alaskan glacier, he -
declares, he has extracted 250"
pounds of genuine glacial ice, cen-
turies old. Preserved in dry ice, it
will be transported across country
to New York, there to be sold to
the highest bidder among the-night
clubs which appreciate "the best
and the rarest"
He is thinking, he says, of driv-
ing it across country himself.
"And wouldn't it be awful," he
says, "if I got caught in Death Val-
ley and had to wire the nearest city
to rush me j$cure dry ice to keep
my authentic .glacial ice from
melting? Hm-m-.'"

SYNOPSIS
Man About
MANHATTAN
ne:
By GEORGE TUCKER
SW YORK—Some day, when
my typewriter fingers (both
of them) are too weary to hit an-
other key, I'm going to get me a
hobby. Not just fishing, which ends
with the first snowfall. And not
just canning and preserving, which
is over when tho fruits and water-
melon rinds are all in. But some-
thing I can do all the year around;
something in a department m
which I'll be the only one there is
and know all there is to know
about it. -, . .
Maybe I'll collect perforated
typewriter ribbons—guess how I
thought of that?
Or doormats—there s a welcome
idea. (Ugh!) , ,
Or discarded church steeples.
Now I'm getting warm., I'll bet I
could be the only churfch steeple
collector in the world.
Don't think for a minute that
this is just the ramblings of a col-
umnist's idle hour. I've been talk-
ing to Dave Elman. Daves the
gent that originated that Hobby
Lobby program on radio a couple
of years back and more recently
started what he calls a hobby
clinic. He didn't know what he was
letting himself in for on that.
• •
'"pHJL, master hobbyist learned a
1 eouple of things about hobbies,
too. And before you chuck the ga-
rage business to start a collection
with the swiss-cheesy inner tubes
cluttering your place, cast your
eye over these fundamental rules
that Elman evolved.
First, there is no hobby so far-
fetched, so unusual, that it cannot
be made to pay. All right, collect-
ing shredded inner tubes is okay.
Second, your hobby must absorb
and interest you for its own sake,
and not for the money in it. Well,
that's fine, too. Of course you love
the ripped tubes for themselves
and you can't tear yourself away
from them.
Third, you must become the su-
preme authority on the subject.
Since you'll be the only one in the
field, your word, ipso facto (or
something) will be law. Pass.

"It wasn't that," Johnnie broke In

"But at least you could have told

Johnnie's grin answered hers.
"We did have, didn't wo?"
"Remember tho time I made yott

fident that the anniversary Issue of the Record would pull the paper
out of the red.
All right, go ahead. Now you've
Sot your hobby, collecting shred-
ed inner tubes. The rest is up to
you and tlr "i
ination. I
ou and the stretch of your imag-
tion. I th

throw out this idea
gratis, bearing in mind that Elman
has unearthed far fancier hobble*
which are money-makers.

FOR example,
tlrtittiaf of attf
is something of a fisherman him-
self, so he was tickled pink to hear
of this one.
The more I think of it, the bet-
ter I like that idea of collecting
church steeples. I can *tart with
the one the hurricane blew down
up New England way. Hey, Dave,
is anvbody collecting steeples yet?
"Mother told tne you were back,
but I didn't expcot you here." Judy
managed to regain a portion of her
composure. "Did you want some-
thing?"
"It can wait." ,
"You're always so mysterious,"
Judy added as Johnnto started to re-
treat.
" "I don't mean to bo—"
"One minute you're gone and the
pext minute you're back," Judy
broke In, "and you don't say why!"
"Well, I'm back this time because
I changed my mind about going
away," Johnnie explained awkward-
ly.
"And you Went away three years
ago because you changed your mind
about staying hero." Judy's voice
carried the hint of the hurt ahe had
suffered,
"I had to go then, Judy."
"Without telling—anybody?" The
hurt note was stlB there.
"1 was afraid you wouldn't under-
stand—but what's the use of going
through all of that again—It's past
history.*
"Well, of codrse," Judy said aar-
can bo a prlnco without any seat In
your pants, but I don't see how you
could bo very cliarmlng. So I went
homo."
"Well, It's nice—ten years later—
to learn tho reason. I waa always
thinking I'd never speak to you
again,"
"Say! What are you doing?" Judy
suddenly realized that as they talked
Johnnie had been busily unbolting
the motor from tho washing ma-
chine.
"I'm Just disconnecting this mo-
tor," Johnnie explained as he picked
It up and started out. "That's what I
came up for."
"Walt a minute! Where are yoa
going with that?" Judy demanded.
"I need It downstairs."
"And I neod U right up here for
ttiy washing."
"But we've got to get out a hatch
of circulars," Johnnie potntod out.
"And I've got to get out a batcn
of washing.1* Judy was angry.
"If that Isn't just like a woman."
Johnnie said disgustedly. "Worrying
about her washing machine when we
need the motor to ran *
so she won't have to wash."
"Johnnie Daniels! You're just as
impossible as you always were. Yoa
haven't changed one llttto bit-
But Johnnie was already half way
down the stairs, His voice floated
•back to Jody. "Well, Whoever said I
wanted to change?"
Johnnie was still mumbling as he
lugged the motor into the shop,
"Gosh!" he mattered. "Yon'd think
she'd quit worrying about the dor
goned washing and appreciate what
I'm trying to do. We'll never get
anything done with that darned
preaa that you have to pedal like a
bicycle. I've got a notion to make
her come down and run It herself."
Johnnie aet the motor down at the
foot of the atalra and debated wheth-
er he ahould go back and mako peace
with Judy. The Traveler made up his
mind tor him.
"Well, ain't you goln' to hook It
up?" Startled out of his reverie,
Johnnie hastily began putting the
motor to work at Its now duties.
Meanwhile Benny waa proudly
feeding the big preaa where the red
border was being printed In antlo
lpatlon of the final run of the Rec-
ord's Anniversary Number.
"That'll really bo purty when we
get the black on top of that red,
won't it. Mis Allen?" the Travelor
said as ho brought Martha a proof.
"I'm only wondering whether wo
ahouldn't have used another color—
we've been In the red so long," Mar-
tha answered, '
"But this Anniversary, Number
with all the ads la gonna get us out,
Isn't it Mom?" Benny demanded.
"I hope so, son," Mrs. Allen an-
swered.
"An' hero's the p.-oof of the Mao-
Sweeney double truck ad, Mis Al-
len," the Traveler said aa he apread
the two-pager In front of Martha.
"And speaking of MacSweeney, here
ho Is Ip the flesh."
MacSwoeney, one of tho town's
leading merchants, was obviously
ombarrassed. "Morning, Mrs. Allon."
ho said haltingly, "i oame In to see
you about my ad. You see business
has been bad—"
"Do you want to cub It down to a
single pago?"
MacSweeney fumbletf with his hat
"I'm sorry, but I'll have to cancel the
entire ad," ho aald and departed
hastily.
The telephone cut In on the
stunned silence. "Thin Is Dean, the
food and fuel dealer, Mrs. Allen. I'm
sorry but I must cancel yiy ad In
the Anniversary Nombor. Good-
bye." Tho rocelver clicked doclalve-
iy.
"Seems like business In this
town's suddenly turned sick," the
Traveler mused aloud.
Another telephone «all. And an* i
other. Mr. Kully muatwancel his ad.
So must Mr. Gray .. ^and Mr. Tar-
ner,
"Tell Johnnie to looite Judy and
tell her not to order ISte extra sup-
plies we thought are would need,"
Martha said sadly to Che Traveler.
"All of the big advertiwrs have can-
celled out"
This ain't a Ouslnens slcknesa—
tt'a an epidemic," the Traveler
sagely decided.
