Municipal Officers
To End Parley Today |
With Tax Discussion
Solicitor General
Jackson Talks to
Law Officials j
With attention directed to tax
matters, the city officials composing
the National Institute of Municipal
Law Officers today were prepared to J
Wind up their three-day session at I
the Mayflower. '
With the program calling for a
broad discussion of local taxing,
the institute was expected to pay j
particular attention to President
Roosevelt's proposal for a Federal I
tax on municipal bonds and salaries.
The move has some support in the
organization, but it was thought the
organization would suggest a coun
ter-plan for reciprocal taxation if a
wavier of tax immunities between
Federal and local governments
could be worked out. i
At the annual dinner last night
at the Mayflower, the institute heard
Solicitor General Robert H. Jackson
defend the New Deal against charges ! j
of infringing on States’ rights.
Declaring that this charge “is as !
false as it is frequent,” Mr. Jackson
said that the "true cause” of the
shift of power along many fronts
from State to Federal Government j
"has been not design but necessity.” I
"Both the necessity and the ten- I
dency will continue, and no matter
what promises are made by seekers
after power, these underlying eco- j
nomic trends will make promises !
yield to conditions,” he emphasized.
Relief, social security in its several
phases, and securities regulation J
were fields cited by the speaker as I
having been entered by the Federal ! !
Government because they offered
problems with which the States
could not deal.
“There has been in this adminis
tration no purpose and no effort to
impair the rights or to usurp the
powers of any State or of any gov
ernmental agency,” Mr. Jackson
said. “Any doubt which might exist
on that score ought to be answered
by the unprecedented help which
this administration has extended
to keep local governments*solvent, to j
finance their local projects and to j
aid them in handling threatening I
relief problems.” |

Way up in the North woods lives ,
an old trapper whose occupation in I
life now is supplying campers with I
food. He lives near an area that is 1
famous for its wilderness and fine
sports activities. There is a stream
that provides the only freight access i
to a particularly desirable camping
ground and this stream runs be- I
tween two large boulders that form
a damlike block and force the water
down a very long, smooth-flowing
rapids, making upstream navigation : I
very tricky. In carrying supplies to I I
campers in the area the old trapper |
uses a specially equipped small motor i
boat. It takes him 2 hours and 15'
minutes to make a round trip from I
his place. His speed on the level I
Of the stream is 16 miles per hour, '
up the long rapids 12 miles per hour
and down the rapids 24 miles per J
hour. How long is the round trip? I
