A PKEMIIJI OK IDLENESS
The Saturday Evening Post tells a
story of an eastern textile manufac
turer of middle age who rebelled
against high surtaxes. He closed his
mill, liquidated his capital and put
the proceeds Into tax-free securities.
He now spends his time in travel and
redreatlon. This Is what he says about
it:
"Why should I keep factory hours,
subject my capital to the risks of busi
ness, wear myself out in the dally grind
and then hand over flfty-?lght per
cent of my prorits to the federal gov
ernment, and another large slice to the
state and local tax collectors? My tai%
free bonds yield me more dollars that
I can call my own than my business
did before I gave It up. The govern,
ment that penalized me when I was
a useful and productive citizen now
puts a premium on my Idleness."
The Green Amendment to the consti
tution which has been before Con
gress, to do away with future IssueB
of tax-exempt bondB, was defeated on
February 8th, 1924, by the narrow mar
gin of 7 votes less than the two.thlrds
required.
Many speakers who opposed the
amendment spent more tie abusing
those who favored it than In presenting
economic arguments against It.
Lazy wealth will enjoy another year
of idleness in tax-exempt bonds, but
public demand for a square deal in
taxation grows stronger every year.
