The Government of the United States @erves all Why should some pay for the service, while others reed not? Tax exemption means only one thing: that those who do pay taxes pay more than their rightful share s to 1 e up for the privileged characters who don’t pay anything R T As President Roosevelt recalls, our preferred class ontaxpayers was created by a reactionary Supreme Court contemptuous of the Constitution itself to serve its own and special interests. The income tax amendment reads: “The Congress shall have the power to collect ta om whatever source derived.” As President Roosevelt remarked in his message yesterday: “It is why a Constitutional income from whatever source d lay and difficult for wlmost all citizens to understand provision permitting taxes on ved' does not mean from whatever source derived.’ 3ut the Justices of the Supreme Court, in 1920, i down the amazing decision that their own could not be taxed because that would violate 1la aries the rule that the compensation of Judges shall not be diminished during their continuance in office. Justices Holmes and Brandeis vigorously dissented, pointing out that “the independence of Judges is a very good reason for preventing attempts to deal with a Judge's salary as such, but seems no reason for exonerating him from the ordinary duties of a citizen which he ares with all others.” Nevertheless, the Supreme Court Ju es have not paid taxes to this day. Neither have State and municipal office holders, and holders bonds, all of whom the Supreme Court removed from he x list by ruling that Cc could not le upon employees and securities of the sovereign States So did the Court nullify the plain meaning of the plain words of the Constitution . incomes from whatever source derived. President Roosevelt notes that recent decisions warrant the assumption that the present Supreme Court regards these words to mean what they say, and that lation taxing all Americans on a basis of equality would be upheld in the future. No longer a super-board of corporation lawyers {and narrow legalists, the Supreme Court today is of |a caliber which justifies the President’s faith of tax-exempt le How much revenue equalized taxation would bring do not know. It has been estimated that there are now $55,000,- 000,000 of tax-exempt bonds outstanding. Under the | Pr 1t's proposal, however, they would not be taxed, since taxes would not be retroactive and would apply only to new securities, From the office-holders, however, there would be substantial return, and the | additional Federal income would eventually total $300.000,000. rding to estimates.
