PKOlILKM OF TAX-KXEMPT SKCl'IHTIES.
The reason for Secretary Mellon's withdrawal of his
recommendation that tax-exempt securities be abolished U
an interesting one for the tax-paying public to consider
but we are undecided as to whether its character is thor
oughly sound. Untaxed wealth is a problem the next few
years will have to solve, and it may be that Andrew
changed his mind partly because of good business reasons
and partly because of strong influences.
It is true that state and municipal bonds issues such
as La Grande has just put on the market to finance city
improvements arc sold at a low rtae of interest largely
because the securities are tax-exempt, and we therefore
get cheaper money than .would otherwise be possible. We
are not, however, convinced that the difference between the
rate available now and the rate that would prevail if the
bonds were subject to income tax represents sufficient
saving to the public to offset what is lost from wealth that
now pays no toll.
In discussing some aspects of the problem recently the
Des Moines Register gives three arguments in favor of the
jneseijt system, as follow:
1. The exemption from taxation is offset by
the advantage rural communities have in getting
cheap money. The cheapest money for investment
today is on state securities for locid light plants,
roads, consolidated schools and the like. It is be
cause of this advantage of cheap money that no
constitutional amendment is likely to be submitted
by congress or voted by the states.
2. .It is a grave question whether the govern
ment should be given power to tax state securities
or the state power to tax government securities.
Anybody can see into what entanglements that
might rim under our dual system. The nation
could tax state enterprises out of existence or the
state embarrass the nation by its levies on govern
ment bonds.
!5. There is always n vast amount of money in '
the United States that is looking for security first,
the money of old men, of estates, of insurance com
panies, and the like, and this money will never be
available for business promotions no matter what
is done with tax exempt securities. Almlishing
tax exemption on state bonds will not drive this
V ' money into; productive enterprises.
After all, it is not a question of getting state and
nation entangled in tax privileges, nor of driving capital
into productive enterprises, but merely of making large
wealth bear its share of the income lax burden and federal
government expenses. Constitutional changes making in
come from state and municipal securities taxable would
increase the interest rate such bonds would require to be
marketable, but would that increased expense to the general
public be equal to the increased revenue to the government
that purchasers of the securities would have to pay? With
out doubt the present system has certain indirect benefits
to Mr. Average Citizen, but we are of the opinion that he
prefers his benefits in a direct form where ho can estimate
them accurately, analyze them, and judge them on their
true merits.
