ings the other day that there are no less than eleven of Its committees con no session that and less tinulngIn than eleven of them are conducting Investigations It la true that only a few members of each of the commit tees remain In attendance— the others are out campaigning for even so It appears there Is going to be an extraordinary amount of after truth or mudslinglng searching through the heat of the summer and the cool of the autumn While I am not Infallible In my must conJudgment and conclusions fess that I can see a valid reason for only one Just a single one of those eleven Investigations The ways and means committee of the house has started out to do some surveying of federal taxation structure and evthe I have asked I have found erywhere of the idea There can be approval no doubt of a need for that survey provided the politicians will accept the results of those who examined the facts because the American taxation system both national and state surely Is of the type But there Is another significance to the tax Inquiry I reported to you recently that It was going to cost taxpayers a total of almost $1150000000 a year In Interest on the public debt when that of the national government debt reaches the $31000000000 which President Roosevelt has announced It will reach Since that Information was given you further Inquiries convince me the debt easily may reach $35000000000 by the winter of and the Interest alone will be cormore This Is just the respondingly Interest mind you and makes no provision for retirement of any of the debt which would have to take extra tax dollars Since the nationnl debt Is so high and going higher and the house ways and means committee Is making such an Intensive study of the tax system one can not fail to link the two together The obvious question Is: Is the administration becoming concerned over the sources of funds to pay the huge total of debt Incurred In spending our way out of the depression? with the house comConcurrently mittee’s study Secretary Morgenthnu the apof the treasury announced t of another group pointment to study tax questions for him Mr holds that our tax system Morgenthnu Is full of holes which undoubtedly It Is and he feels that the general methso that the od should be revamped flow of revenue will not be so dependent upon prosperous economic condTo that end the secretary sent itions part of the number of professors and tax experts selected by him over to for a study of British taxEngland British taxes apparation methods ently are much higher than ours and Is desirous of finding Mr Morgenthnu out how the British government gets away with It So one hears around Washington a great deal of discussion of what the future holds In the way of tax levies Mr Roosevelt upon the rank and file said In his latest radio speech to the country It will be remembered that relief was his first consideration that vast sums had been expended for relief and that further vast sums will be All of which leads back to expended the observation I made above namely that one cannot help linking these several studies together with an undercurrent of fear that perhaps we are spending too much money 1 1 the tax InvestigaWhile discussing It would be unfair to tion however omit reference to one feature of the Double Taxation Evil hoU8e cornulttee I that vestlgation can am told by real tax authorities be of much value The house committee was Instructed to look Into the double taxation evil that besets the country It Is known to everyone of course that there are places and things upon levies which the federal government high taxes and that these taxes fall and sometimes on top of similar greater levies by the states ConseInquiry may quently the committee bring to light how often and where this sort of thing is happening two taxation For example of double will Illustrations or three common serve to Indicate how severely the Take the tax on gasburden obtains The federal government oline as one laid a tax on gasoline two years ago and that tax although It was small had to be paid by users of “gas" In addition to the state levies which run as high In some states as 7 or 8 cents a making the tax borne by that gallon commodity aggregate as much as 10 or The 11 cents a gallon In some places tax on cigarettes Is another example but this commodity was taxed first and then by the federal government the states put their levies on The result Is that in many states the tax on cigarettes amounts to more than the selling price of the package would be If no tax were laid states now collect taxes on incomes of Individuals or corpoof them collect rations and twenty-sia tax from both These taxes of are aside from the high rates course Imposed by congress under federal income tax laws These matters naturally constitute subjects for serious Investigation It Is the only way by which congress can Inform Itself and determine a policy Such however cannot unfortunately be said about most of the other Investigations that are running through the summer and fall There Is the munitions Thus Investigation far my searches have yielded little Information showing that this Investigation can produce anything constructive It and several of the other In my opinion amount to vestigations s little more than fishing expeditions hops that something will be uncovered so that some members of congress can be “amazed" or duly “dumbfounded" by business practices of firms that have been In business half a century or more I guess the senators 'and have to have somerepresentatives thing to be “amazed" about every so often but It does occur to me that If wants to economize congress really which It could limit Its Investigations roughly will cost close to half a million dollars this summer and fall Policies of the last several admlnls tratlons In Washington have presented many puzzling things U S Greatestnnd some of them move one to lnqulre Landlord where It all will end For example the Farm Credit admin istratton — the FOA of the alphabetical — a statement to the soup released press the other day to the effect that the twelve federal land banks now own own and 22078 almost farms outright thousands of others on which the loans are In virtual default I think it can be said therefore that Uncle Sam has become the greatest landlord In the world Is more or While the Information less startling that the federal government through one of its multifarious ro now much farm owns agencies land the fact gives only an Inkling of what has happened In others of the various agencies through which It acts As said one can hardly help Inquiring where It all will end I make no to controvert the policy of attempt federal loans on farm lands or homes I only can pause and wonder what the future holds If the course is continued The farm lonn banks have a total of $82939000 tied up In those farms which they hold The only way that money can be withdrawn Is by sale of the lands If they are sold the chances are new mortgages In varying amounts will have to be placed on them because most buyers are not In a position to pay the whole sum In cash and Some of them again will default the government agency again will own the land All of which Is by way of and who wails that the Idealist saying gnashes his teeth about the terrible brute who forecloses has not yet solved the problem of saving homes that were bought on a margin of cash that was too narrow or a home that was bought by an individual who ran Into hnrd luck The point of It Is that the federal Into everyIs dnhhllng government thing It Is going beyond what government ought to do When one examines the whole picand Its government respecting scope these days It Is rather astounding Astounding For ‘"stance the RePicture Ficonstruction enounced the other nance corporation that It was willing to help the day Baltimore & Ohio railroad refinance Its maturing bonds I do not know what the outcome will be but It seems to me that refinancing of a railroad by use of government credit Is hardly a function of government Finance corporThe Reconstruction It ation Is making loans

gone on the rocks and the depositors would have sufam still wondering If fered But It is the proper function of government to protect private activities to the eitent of guaranteeing out of the public funds that I shall get my money back on any old Investment or what Dot Into which I have put it Some way I am Inclined to feel that government as such ought not be dabbling Into things where it Is required to Insure that people will not be foolish or crooked And there are going to be more loans made The last congress enacted a law providing for loans to Inemail Industrlea dustry the loan legislation it was railed Business leaders and bankers tell me that the government Is going to find Itself owning a lot of business wrecks through those loans The bankers aay that If a business has a chance to survive which means It can pay expenses It can get money at ordinary banking houses If the government is going to make loans only to those unable to get bank loans the conviction I hear most often expressed Is that the government had better set up another agency from which It can send- supervisors or general managers all over the country to run the property It eventually will ture methods
