WARREN, Staft Correspondent of The Star KANSAS OITY, Mo, October 23— Six hundred delegates to the National ‘Tax’ Conference, inclue tax officials from every State of the Union and the District of Columbia, in session here this week, are attacking the universal ques- tion of rising tax bufdens, which is de- scribed as m most serious problem taxation and others seeking to increase revenue from certain sources, but the keynote struck at the ng session was & demand for el tion of ex- travangance and waste in the expendi- ture of public funds. A hot fight, brewing for & number of years, however, promises to come up for decisive discussion here, and which will have a rebound in the halls of Con- that pack & certain modification of the regulating taxation of ; This involves principles that go back 1o the earlier days of the national bank system, and is based on the old cry of State rights and the powers of the central National Government. Hits Banking Association. Gov. Clyde M. Reed of Kansas, whose ce of wmm speech _already as brought national iblicity mm than once, touched oft debate an assault he made on congressional committees and the American Bankers' , in wel - the dGcl;Inxl'Al at the first session. tax er- ence. He assailed kers’ associa- tion for its alleged " of the banking committees of the House and Senate, finding evidence of the “owner- ship” in the fact that these committees last session declined to lpggve & plan he urged for allowing the States to tax national banks to the extent that in- dividual States might tax State banks. This debate, though now rather dry and exceedingly technical to the lay- man at this stage, is seen here as one of great importance to the public, since the means of taxing national banks is scheduled for some aetion by Congress this Winter and its decision, one way or another, is calculated to affect bank stockholders throughout the country. Gov. Reed, something of a wit and an accomplished platform orator, was defeated ear in his contest for re- nomination for the goves ip Kansas, He achleved prominence sev- ereal months ago in his declaration that Kansas farmers would and should plant all the wheat they could, in an- swering a suggestion by Secretary Hyde of the Agriculture partment that farmers would be benefited by limiting acreage plantings in order to curtail surplus wheat production. Gov. Reed launched his assault on the existing system of bank taxation by reclf that while the wealth of the Nation increased 80 per cent in the Jast 18 years the tax burden during the same period more than tripled, Kansas Among Backward. Kansas, sald with candor, is as 3y of the Union ‘bani cent in the past 15 years, its taxes rose cent, not inciuding gasoline e taxes, wh!eh‘wv\xkl bring the increase to 400 per cent. Kansas is backward in this regard, he said, because it has clung to the old theory that revenues should come pri- marily from the Eflflfl property -tax. ‘This, he declared, is & for States to place a higher tax and earnings. Because Com- mittees declined to 1t this last ses- sion, Gov. Reed in pe! address at the tax conference “complimented” the American Bankers' Association on its “ownership” of these committees. Having failed at Congress, Gov. Reed hastened back to Kansas, called a spe- cial session of the legislature and had it ;‘n‘hblnk stocks * | the intangible tax law there repealed. ‘The old State's rights cry was then raised by Reed in declaring that the United States Government has no right to say how much a State may tax the banks, o long as the State taxes Na- tional and State banks alike. Gov. Reed’s position is that of a num- ber of leading State tax officials here. - In this body, also, are representatives of the American Bankers' Association, who point to the decision of the Su- preme Court of the United States up- holding the r:;ht of Congress to limit the amount of taxes a State can place on national banks. They point also to the cardinal principle of government the power to destroy” in upholding the right of the Central Government to limit the tax power of States over national banking institutions. Johnson Answers Reed. Milbank Johnson, chairman of the board of directors of the California Tax- payers' Association, also a speaker at the opening session of the conference, quickly answered Gov. Reed by stating that the American Bankers' Association at its convention this Summer indorsed the bill of Representative Goodwin of Minnesota, which would liberalize the existing power of the States to tax national banks, though still retaining a definite limitation. ‘The question definitely arose in 1921 when the Supreme Court decided that the State of Virginia violated section 5219 of the Revised Statutes by taxing national banks there at a higher rate than “other money capital” in the hands of individdals coming into competition with natajonal banks is taxed. Th decision, it is explained here, virtually set a “prairie fiie” throughout the country, as other State tax bodies found that they had been taxing banks in a measure coming under this high court ruling. Other litigation piled up. Seeking to straighten out the tangle, tax commissions and the American Bankers’ Assoclation, have been at work on a proj modification of the con- gressional act. The Goodwin bill, in- dorsed by the bankers and probably due for action here by the State tax officials, would liberalize the present law by providing that banks and bank shares may be taxed by States, but at no greater rate than mercantile, manu- facturing and business corporations are taxed in the same State. ‘Washin is represented at the conference here by Edward F. Colladay, chairman of the Citizens’ Joint Com- mittee on Fiscal Relations between the Federal Government and the District of Columbia; Robert J. Cottrell, secre- tary of this committee; Col. John T. Bardroff and Lloyd F. Gaines, “assistant t2x assessors of the District, and Vernon corporation counsel of Attending the sessions . Wallace, Wi gton attorney.

Y., October 22.—The Post-Standard says, operations of & smuggling ring which during the past year has moved contraband—chiefly liquor and furs—valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars, from Canada into the United States have led to the recent arrest of four border patrolmen and five civillans. At the time of arrests at Ogdensburg, Plattsburgh and other places, Federal officials disclosed only that conspiracy was the charge. ‘The center of the fur distribution organization was at Saranac Lake and the liquor distributors at several small towns near the border, the Post-Stand- ard says. Most of the furs and the of | liquor, the paper declares, were dumped on the New York market. Higher Government officials were at first reluctant to believe border patrol- men were involved, the T says. Federal Attorney Oliver D. Burden of Syracuse, to whom other officials have referred reporters, neither confirmed nor denied the accuracy of Standard’s account. Federal investigators started work on the case three months ago, the news- paper says, making the first of the series of arrests a week ago Saturday. e GRAND MASTER PAYS VISIT TO TWO LODGES National and Arminius Masonic Bodies Formally Greeted by Group of High Officials.

Republican dry chieftains are pre- paring to insist that their party’s 1932 platform contain a plank declaring against repeal of the eighteenth amendment. ‘They are biding their time, quietly awaiting, meanwhile, the returns from the congressional elections two weeks hence, but already intimations are heard that unless this plank against repeal is incorporated in the Republi- can platform a third party movement may be started. ‘The Democrats, t0o, are having their worries over prohibition in contemplat- B i e i Bl n es dlyided widely on the issue.

NEW YORK, October 22.—Women who live in Kansas, Kentucky and Ohlo, in New England and Canada—long-ais- tance speculators who know little or nothing of finance—are the heaviest losers in the collapse of Charles V. Bob's Metal & Mining Shares, Inc., the attor- ney general's office said today. This is the Bob enterprise to which Assistant Attorney General Washburn is directing most of the activity of an investigation into all of Bob's manifold stock promotions. Bob has been missing since October 5, when he flew to Chi- cago In his own airplane, informing business associates he expected to return in a few days. Examination of records of Metal & Mining shares, Washburn said, disclos- ed that “an astonishing large percent- age” of investors were women holding mmorlt{ shares. A majority interest in big blocks is held by Bob and his associates. There is nothing to indi- cate what the small investors pald for their stock. Similar investigations of 29 other Bob companies are in progress, nd within a day or so, Washburn said, xglpllu'.lnm will be made for receiver- ps for a number of these concerns. Since his inquiry began, Washburn has_estimated total losses to investors in Bob concerns at between six and twelve million dollars, the figures increas- ing as his investigation progressed. His statisticians, he said, have not tabu- lated the name of any small stockhold- ers.
