Senator Couzens Speaks On:
One of the largest individual
holders of govrenment bonds—
Senator James Couzens of Michi
gan—discusses them here in the
fourth and final article of a se
ries on our economic problems.
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer
Washington, April 27. Adverse
critics frequently remark, when Sen
ator James Couzens of Michigan ur
ges tax reform, that the senator hint
self is a large holder of tax-exempt
securities.
I have heard Senator William E.
Borah of Idaho hint at this, in debate
in the upper house of congress—and
I halve heard Senator Couzens’ an
swer, to the effect that ned oes not
believe in tax-exempt securies (re
gardless of his own holdings), but re.
peatedly has been told by no less an
authority than Senator Borah (an
eminent constitutional authority) that
it would take a constitutional amend
ment to make them otherwise.
‘Right now I want to say,” the
Michigan senator recently told me,
"that there should be no tax-exempt
bonds or tax-exempt incomes.”
CAPITAL LEVY FOR
TAX EXEMPTS
The Michigan senator himself now
knows the subject of tr£: exemptions
as well as an>d constitutional lawyer.
"It is a popular mistake,” he says,
"that federal incomes are tax-free,
but it is true of incomes from the
state and lesser units of government.
As to bonds, the federal government
can dictate as to its own, in the mat
ter of taxation, but it is a fact that
a constitutional amendment is nec
essary to subject the issues of smaller
units to taxation.
"Oustanding issues, which cannot
be touched otherwise, should he
reached by a capital levy. '
It cannot well be charged, then,
that the sentor is elfishly actuated in
the matter of tax exemption.
ON DEVALUATION
Inflasfioii? Is Senator Couzens a,
believer in it?
For example:
Was dollar devaluation inflation
ary?—and if so, beneficial?
"I think.” says Senator Couzens,
"that devaluation was not so much
actually inflationary as psychological
ly encouraging in its effect, based on
the opinion of many persons that it
was needed to break the depression.
"As an advance calculator of psy

“Still,” admitted the senator, “it is

“It serves as a valuable brake upon
the possible excesses of psychology;
it is extremely practical.
“That is to say, my principal anx

PROTECTING THE DEBTOR
Illustratively in the matter of mon
etary inflation. Senator Couzens
speaks of the danger permitting re
adjustment to pass the borderline in
to the realm of what he calls the
“ridiculous."
“At the same time,” he says, “it
manifestly is not falir to require a
man who borrowed $1 on the suppo
sition that it was to be repaid with
one bushel o fwheat, to repay it with
two bushels. He is entitled t.) the one
bushel basis.”
It is a return, however, which
means to the consumer, who in the
meantime has had his pay cut, an
increase in his living costs.
“That’s so,” agreed the senator.
“Nevertheless it is surprising how
willing any one economic group is to
profit at the expense of some other
economic group.

LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL
AIRRAIDS
During danger from an air raid all
children will remain ineide the school
buildings; all gatea will be shut, and
no one will be admitted. Crowding
round the school premises only
Increases the danger.
No place Is absolutely safe, but
experience chow* that children are
safer in school puddings than If
sent out into the streets.
The London County Council Is
doing all It can to secure the safety
of the children, and It Is honied ttiat
parents will help by leaving their
children entirely under the control
of the teachers until all danger
Is over.
