WHY NOT GET STARTED?
(New York World-Telegram)
President Roosevelt says he thinks that public em
ployees should pay income taxes on the same basis that
private citizens pay. That is fine.
The President also says he believes there should be
no such thing as tax-exempt securities—which means
that governmental securities of all kinds should be sub
ject to the same taxes to which corporate securities
are subject.
But, says the President, there seems to be some
thing called constitutional law which inhibits against
taxation without discrimination. That is true. The
Supreme Court in a long line of decisions has held that
a salary paid by a State or a subdivision thereof cannot
be taxed by the Federal government and that a Federal
salary cannot be taxed by a State government; also that
Federal securities are exempt from State and local taxa
tion and that the securities of States and subdivisions
are exempt from Federal taxation, and the income from
such securities likewise exempt.
So, says the President, there seems to be nothing
that can be done about it except to amend the Consti
tution. That is true only in part—the Federal govern
ment could, without waiting for an amendment, tax the
income of all securities it issues hereafter. But let us
grant what the President says, for it is true that the
amendment is the only way to remove all discrimin
ations.
And, adds the President, getting an amendment
adopted takes a long, long time. Uttering that last
truth, he let the subject rest.
There it still rests. And there it will continue to
rest—until the President or somebody in Congress gets
interested enough to start the amendment on its long,
long trail.
