PROPOBED, ITS OBJECT TO
ABATE INJUSTICE.
115,000,000,000 UNTAXED
Tax-Free Securities * Drift Into the
Coffers of the Rich who Thus Es
cape Payment of Income Taxes.
Washington. A constitutional
amendment to prevent the Issuance of
any tax-exempt securities by the fed
eral government, the states or any
county or municipality was proposed
hi the house by Chairman MeFadden
of the banking committee.
Mr. (McFadden, who formerly was
president of the Pennsylvania State
Bankers' association, said "$16,000,-
000,000 of securities in the United
States are excftnpt from taxation."
"The amount nearly equals all of
the railroad property in the country
and is over twice as great as the farm
products that are annually sold," he
said, adding that In addition there
were nearly $26,000,000,000 federal
bonds partially or wholly tax exempt
."The great Injustice of tax exemption
was not brought home to our tax pay
ers until it became apparent that tax
exemption defeats the purpose of the
graduated income tax," continued Mr.
McFadden. "Tax-free securities drift
into the coffers of the rich, thus en
abling them to evade the payment of
the heavy Income taxes contemplated
by law."

BONUS BILL WOULD
COST $2X000,000
SECRETARY HOUSTON REPEATS
NO ADDED BURDEN SHOULD
*"»E PUT ON TREASURY.
CANNOT COMPOTE EXACT COST
As Plana Proposed Are Optional the
Choice of the Men Would Not be
Confined to Any of Them.
Passage of the sol
diers' bonus bill would cost tbe gov
ernment approximately $2,300,000,000,
Secretary Houston estimated.
The treasury secretary declared en
actment of the bill meant an added
burden in the way of taxes, reiterat
ing a statement, made 'before the com
mittee, that the treasury ought not to
be called upon to assume any addi
tional burdens.
While Mr. Houston said it was Im
possible to compute accurately the
exact cost of each of the four op
tional aid plans, he believed the esti
mate submitted was substantially cor
rect. Land settlement provisions of
the bill contain so many uncertain
ties, he added, that the cost entailed
by them could only be guessed at.
Assuming that all of the men would
select one of the four optional plans,
Mr. Houston estimated the cost of
each of the plans as follows:
Adjusted service pay, 11,342,000,000.
Insurance provisions, $3,634,000,000.
Vocational training aid, $1,880,000,-
000.
Farms and home developments, sl,-
800,000,000.
As the plans were optional, the sec
retary said, the dbolce of the men
would not be confined to any one of
them and, allowing for the various
selectlves, he arrived at his total esti
mated cost of $2,300,000,000.

Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from report* from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with

haa been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing

its remarkable record of success.
Aa examining phyiician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority bf those whose applica

that they have the disease. It ia on sale
