No. 9-0
Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., today received from Dr. Lyndon
F. Small, Consultant of the U.S. Public Health Service, an assignment to the United
States Government of the patent rights upon three narcotic drugs, morphine deriva
tives, control of which may have an important hearing upon the problem of narcotic
drug addiction.
Dr* Small obtained patents covering these drugs after they were developed in
the course of experimental investigations during the past seven years, seeking to
find certain substitutes for morphine.
These particular drugs are ethers of mor
phine and its dihydrogenated derivative, dihydroraorphine.
The names of the drugs are: 1. Morphine alcoholic ethyl ether; 2. Dihydromorphine alcoholic ethyl ether; 3. Dihydromorphine alcoholic methyl ether. .
These drugs, Dr. Small believes,may be superior for some medical uses to mor
phine and it is possible that they may replace morphine, or its previously known
derivatives, in pharmaceutical preparations and in medical practice.
Clinical studies to establish definitely the extent of the possible value
to mankind of these drugs, as well as the elements of danger they may have if
wrongfully used, are being continued under the direction of Dr. Small.
Whatever
the outcome of these scientific investigations, the possession by the Government
of the absolute rights over the three drugs will be greatly in the public interest.
Dr. Smalls studies which led to discovery of the drugs were made possible
by an allocation of $50,000 a year made b y the Rockefeller Foundation to the

The Secretary of the Treasury announced today that more than 700,000
investors throughout the country have purchased to date approximately $690,000,000,
maturity value, of United States Savings Bonds.
The sale of Savings Bonds "began on March 1, 1935; and an average of more
than $1,000,000, maturity value, of these "bonds have "been "bought each "business day
since that date.
Sales for the first ten days of the present month indicate that December
will show total sales substantially exceeding the average.
These increased
December sales are attributed in part to the purchase of Savings Bonds by
recipients of dividends, wage increases and bonuses.
The Treasury Department is
also receiving orders for"United States Savings Bonds to be distributed to lists
of employees as Christmas bonuses.
Savings Bonds are also being purchased
for
Christmas gifts to an increased extent.■
The permissible maximum of United States Savings Bonds which may be
registered in the name of any one owner in any calendar year is $10,000, maturity
value.'
The postmasters report that many present owners are purchasing additional
bonds to bring their total purchases for this year to this maximum.
Also many
who are not owners of Savings Bonds are buying this legal maximum prior to December
31st, in order that they may have, by purchasing on or after January 1, 1937, the
maximum permitted to be registered in the name of any one owner for the years
1936 and 1937,
Approximately 54,000 individual purchases of these bonds have been made
on the average each month.
Although many of these are repeat orders from investors
who are undertaking systematic savings through the regular purchase plan, buying
a bond each week, each month, or at other regular intervals, more than 25,000 new
purchasers have been recorded for each 30 days.
Savings Bonds may be purchased in the names of two —

Control Work with the Surgeon General,Washington,D .C *•- First General Session

Discussing the high points in the treatment of early syphilis, la
tency t the syphilitic woman and her child, end neurosyphilis, Dr. Stokes
strongly advocated the continuous-alternating system of treatment by which
courses
alternating
of an arsphenaaine and a heavy metal compound are
between
given with no rest periods dmxta^pcac coursesoJjtesackauczk.
-
2
-
Studies of the Cooperative Clinical Croup, a syphilis research ac
tivity of the Division of Venereal Diseases, U. S. Public Health Service,
show that this method gives better results than the interaittent system
as used in the United States,
the intermittent treatment usually aeons
lapses in an alternating system with the result that more patients re
lapse, and successful treatment is delayed.
ttfhe most refractory stage of early syphilis11, said Dr. Stokes,
the seropositive primary, and it is during this stage that most patients
present themselves for treatment.
Xt is only by greatly increasing the
amount of treatment called for in seronegative primary syphilis or in
the fully developed secondary stage that the expectancy can be brought
up to the general level.
Secondary syphilie treated by intermittent
methods yields even poorer results than seropositive primary, but If
treated by a continuous system, the results closely approximate the b e ^
obtained in seronegative primary syphilis.*
Further clinical problems in the treatment of syphilis discussed
by Dr. Stokes were the choice of infection-controlling drugs, routine
procedures, the treatment of syphilie of the eyes, fever therapy, and
-
reactions to treatment .
3-
He said, in part*
Hfhe arsphenaaines remain the most important infection-controlling
drugs.
Heither drugs nor methods which are not spirillcid&X should be
relied upon for the treatment of early syphilis,
fhe critical point
in the arsphenssiiae-control of infectiousaees lies between the fourth
and the ninth injections,
treatment discontinued between the first
and fourth injections leads to
percent relapse| treatment prolonged
to from 5 to 9 injections leads to only lh percent relapse.
the min*
imum of 20 injections each of an arsenlcd. and a heavy metal advocated
by the Cooperative Clinical Group has consistently proved bo be superior
in every way to anything less.
Bismuth has apparently established its
worth over mercury, especially in the prevention of relapse.
»frequent testing of the hbod and spinal fluid are unnecessary as
a routine procedure.
It is essential that the patient should understand
that his blood test means nothing with reference to his treatment sched
ule.
Weak positives occurring during treatment In early syphilis should
be taken seriously as forewarnings of a tendency to relapse, and a re
turn to a s t r o l l y positive reaction after a series of! negatives in either
- k
early or latent syphilis Is & serious warning.
A fixed positive reaction
Is «ore than anything else the 'penalty of irregularity In treatment; fur
ther treatment should he given* hut panic over irreversible positive re
actions in patients with negative spinal fluids is often needless* and
rarely calls for extreme measures.
11
Latent syphilis calls for the same continuity and technic as early
syphilis* except that fewer injections &r©necessary.
Only ©bout 50 par
cent of patients become lastingly seronegative.
#fwo blood tests should be made in each pregnancy.
The first at the
third month makes possible the institution of treatment before the fifth
month; the second at the eighth month detects the possible transmission
of infect ion during pregnancy,
the principles of the prevention of con
genital syphilis are simple!
(1) Recognise infection before the fifth month;
(2) treat the syphilitic woman through each pregnancy
whether the f&seertsan Is positive or negative
(3) give in excess of h grams of neoarsphenamine in a
total of at least 10 Injections and also at least
10 injections of bismuth* but rely upon the ar«phena
mine and end with it;

T^e following message from President Roosevelt was read t>y
Miss Josephine Roche, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, at the
opening session of the Conference on Venereal Disease Control Work
this morning in the Department of Commerce Auditorium:
’’December 24, 1936
”My dear Miss Roche;
,?I deeply appreciate your invitation, and that of Surgeon
Genereal Parran, to address the opening session of the national con
ference on venereal disease Control, and I wish it were possible for
me to do so. Since I cannot attend in person, I am glad to convey to
you, and through you to those in attendance at the meeting, this ex
pression of my very deep interest in the success of your efforts.
’’The recent increase in public interest in the problem before
the conference is extremely gratifying. With the assistance now being
given by the Public Health Service through Social Security funds, it
should be possible for State and local health authorities to develop
needed facilities for tho treatment and control of these diseases.
It is my understanding that out of your deliberations there will come
a statement of principles and methods which should be useful to every
community in the country in applying most effectively the scientific
knowledge which we have to minimize these serious hazards to the
public health.
t!The Federal Government is deeply interested in conserving
the resources of the country by all appropriate methods. The attain
ment of your objectives would do much to conserve our human resources
and would reduce considerably the present large costs for the community
care of the disastrous end results of the venereal diseases. You have
my best wishes for success.
Very sincerely yours,

Following the reading of the President’s message, Miss Roche
said:
’’May I, for just a moment, stress the full implications of the
sentence in the President’s letter referring to the gratifying recent
increase in public interest in the problem before this conference.
’’You who make up the membership of these meetings are more
aware than any others can be of how widespread, far reaching and how
intelligent this newly expressed public interest is. You, more than
anyone else, sense the potential achievements for human welfare for
which it opens the way. But, I doubt very much if any of you have
realized the basic reason for this tremendously important advance in
public attitude and thinking which seems to have taken place so
suddenly.
’’G-ratifying it is, but not surprising. The real reason for it—
the answer - is here - in the names and the records of lifetime service
of the men and women who make up the program, the panels, and the
committees of this conference.
’’For many years, tirelessly and ably you have battled to conserve
human values. You’ve laid a deep and sound foundation for the swifter
progress that lies ahead.
”The clear thinking and vigorous response that is being given
today to a united nationwide drive upon the problem of venereal
disease could result only from such long, patient and scientifically
sound work as you who are here today have carried on through the years.
To have mental honesty and keen social thinking break through and
conquer fear, prejudice and hypocrisy is, of course, of tremendous
importance in the a,dvanoe we are committed to make on venereal disease.
But it means more than a. victory in a specific field— it reaches out
and gives fresh courage to us to move forward on the many other battlefronts of human progress where, in some manifestation, prejudice and
fear and hypocrisy are ever the chief forces against us.
”1 think I can share with you the realization of the deep
significance of this conference, so widely respresentative of the men
and women who have done so much in the field of human service, and who
must do so much more. Particularly may I express my gratitude in
boing privileged to share with you the tribute you pay today to the
man whose courageous leadership and constructive statesmanship has
made this great conference possible under the auspices of the United
States Government — the Surgeon G-eneral of the United States Public
Health Service, Dr« Parran.”

Memorandum for
Secretary Morgenthau:
During that portion of the fiscal year 1936 available fol
lowing your suggestion on or about November 8, 1935 that more
prompt investigations be made of income tax cases, the field
forces of the Income Tax Unit, except in occasional instances
where taxpayers requested delayed action, completed all contacts
essential to the investigation of returns filed on or before
March 15, 1936 for the calendar year 1934.
Within the space of
seven and one-half months the field forces completed a task to
which usually a full year is allotted.
During the pe riod from March 15 to July 1, 1936 the work
of obtaining statistics, preparing control records, and select
ing the 1935 returns for reference to the field was accelerated to
accomplish the service to the field forces of a sufficient number
of returns filed on or before March 15, 1936 for the calendar
year 1935 to permit the beginning of 1935 examinations, a period
approximately three and one-half months after the last date upon
which the returns were due to be filed.
Our field forces have available a full year (which is the
limit of time available for work upon any one year) within which
to do the work essential upon the 1935 returns, and of course, in
subsequent years, a full year1 s time will be available for work
upon each tax year.
Through this effort, the field work has been advanced a full
six months and benefit has resulted, we think without too much
sacrifice of the 1934 job, both to the taxpayers and the Service
as a consequence of the ability to engage in the examinations at
a time when records are more available than has been true in past
years when the work commenced a full six months later.
The balance of 1934 returns remaining in the field as of
July 1, 1936 was 101,298.
In practically all of these cases the
field examination work had been concluded and they were retained
usually in an effort to negotiate agreements and settlements. A
less substantial balance of the 1935 returns will remain in the
field as of July 1, 1937 inasmuch as the field divisions will have
had the usual full twelve months within which to work upon the returns.
S

Since i t is not p o ssib le to expedite fu rth e r the work th a t must be

be regarded as current under the new schedule, Commissioner H elvering ex

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE,
Wednesday, January 27, 1937,
Some studies on trichinosis, carried out in the Rational Institute of Health,
were reported to the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Atlantic
City, and the findings apparently have been misinterpreted... in. s-ome quarters as. a
reflection on the wholesoneness of pork,
With•reference tp-these misinterpreta
tions, Doctor Maurice C, Hall, Chief of the Division of Zoology of the National
Institute of Health and senior author of these papers, has"made the following
statement:
■11The facts Which were presented in our papers at Atlantic- City were intended
to bri ng to the attention of scientists, nodical men, and the public in general,
the widespread prevalence of trichinosis in the United States, and to point out
methods of prevention of the disease,
’’The fact that trichinosis occurs in the United States is not a reason for
not eating pork, but is a reason for taking such. precauti©hs'"'as are customary in
selecting and preparing food of all sorts.
So far as pork is related to "•trichinosis
it may be divided into two categories, namely, pork products of the sort intended
to be--estem without""cocking,.-and. .pork.- intended to he -eaten- after being^ocoked,
”1 am quite familiar with theeificiexit-"meat■inspection ..procedures of the
Federal Bureau of Animal Industry, and our papers on tri chines in--were ‘written
with a cognizance of the fact that jporirproducts of the s*rt .customarily eaten
■without caoking by the consumer, e.re~ entirely safe to eat without cooking if pro- •
pared in an establishment Operating under Federal neat inspection or oths r compe-
-2
tent inspection*
The pork used in such products, consisting largely of various
kinds of dry or summer sausage, is specially processed, under the close scrutiny
of government inspectors, to destroy any trichinae that may be present) the
processing including cooking, special freezing, or special curing*
There is no
dancer of trichinosis when proper care is used in the selection of pork products
customarily eaten
raw, to see that they bear an inspection stamp giving assurance
that they hPve been prepared under competent inspection.
On the other hand, such
products should never be eaten without cooking if they do not bear this evidence
of competent inspection.
"For reasons of taste, as well as for precaution, pork and pork products
intended to be eaten after being-cooked, including fresh pork, fresh'pork sausage,
smoked hams and shoulders, bacon, and such products as smoked sausage, boneless
loins, capicola, and coppa, should be cooked until they are well done throughout
before using.
Thirty minutes to the pound is an approximate guide to sufficient
cooking for large thick cuts of pork.
Properly cooked pork vail not produce
trichinosis."

Prior to his departure with other members of the Presidents
committee via the Southern Railway for Memphis tomorrow morning, Surgeon
General Parran had completed a program to mobilize, for duty in the flood
areas,the nation’s best Sanitary Engineers, drawn from the ranks of
Federal personnel and from State and City Boards of Health.
Dr* Parran said that 200 Sanitary Engineers now are on duty in
the Ohio and Mississippi flood region.
Most of them are concentrated
in the affected river areas of Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.
About 40 engineers have been detailed by State Health Officers and have
been given temporary commissions as public health officers.
The entire
force has been recruited thus far from sections north of the Ohio.
Standing by ready for immediate duty, are scores of other engineers .
whose services have been offered by State Health Officers in southeastern,
southwestern and western States.
Arrangements have been made to trans
port these specialists by plane to points needed when the emergency demands,
Immunization of flood victims moved into camps, as well as of
those in other places of refuge, has gone forward rapidly under direction
of Federal and State medical officers, reports from field officers to the
Surgeon General today indicated.
Ample supplies of immunizing serums, vaccines and anti-toxins are
being made available to doctors and hospital units in all localities,
Adequate stocks of these biologic supplies as well as reserve quantities
of preventive medicines are being made available to meet current require-,
ments, from stocks on hand at sources of supply.
Dr* Parran today estimated that after the wa.ters have receded,
the public health problem will continue for a period of six months.
He saw the necessity for recruiting still larger forces of doctors,
3-
nurses and laboratory specialists to meet the public health crisis that
must "be met in the medical follow-up stages of the floo^ clear,-up problem.
To meet this emergency, Dr. Parran has received stacks of telegrams, in
addition to personal telephone calls from State and City health authorities
in all parts of the nation, placing at his disposal all of their resources,
both in medical personnel and biologic supplies.
Up to this date, the following biologic shipments have gone into
flood relief centers and to hospital units:
1,126,000
doses of typhoid vaccine, 250,000 smallpox vaccination
points, 16,000 doses of tetanus prophylactic anti-toxin, 70,000 doses of
diphtheria toxoids, 60,000,000 units of diphtheria anti-toxin, 17,400,000

packages of scarlet fever serum, 4,250,000 doses of diphtheria prophylactic,
and large quantities of meningitis serum and vaccines for treatment of
common colds.
Today's reports from all points indicated that the flood region is
free of communicable disease epidemics.
Medical officers, these reports
said, are giving attention Ohiefly to scattered cases of pneumonia and
common colds, principally the result of exposure.
Widespread application
of medical preventive measures has thus far checked outbreaks of serious

-3LI QUOA OPERATIONS
During the latter part of 1936 Alcohol Tax Unit enforcement operations
were concentrated in a group of states in which large numbers of illicit stills
were known to exist.
As a result still seizures in these states increased
materially while those in other sections declined, the total number of seizures
remaining virtually unchanged from 1935.
The quantity of mash seized in connection with illicit stills, regarded
as the best available index of non-tax paid output, showed a 29 per cent
decrease as compared with 1935, and the quantity of spirits seized showed an
even greater decrease.

Memorandum for Mr. Gaston:
The Annual Assay Commission, which meets at the United States
Mint at Philadelphia on Wednesday, February tenth, at 10:00 o'clock,
is one of the oldest and most dignified institutions in the government.
It has been meeting annually since the time of George Washington.
At all United States Mints, out of every delivery of coin from
the coining room to the Superintendent of the Mint, a certain number
of coins are required by law to be taken out by the Superintendent
in the presence of the Assayer, for test by this Commission, which
determines whether they conform to legal requirements as to their
weight and fineness.
The law specifies that each coin must be wrapped carefully, in
such a way as to protect it from attrition; that it be placed in an
envelope and sealed, in the presence of Mint officers, and that a
record of the place of coinage, date, number, denomination and other
pertineht facts, be written on the envelope. The assay coins are then
locked in the "pyx" box, and carefully safeguarded until time to send
them to the Philadelphia Mint for the 'annual trial of coins'.
Members of the Annual Assay Commission are appointed by the
President. Those designated to serve this year are:
Mrs. J. Gustavus Whitely, of Baltimore. Mrs. Whitely, a former •
congresswoman, active in civic affairs, is also an author. Her latest
book is "Washington, and His Aides-de-Camp".
Mrs. Katharine Elkus White, Redbank, N. J., is also active in civic
and in welfare work in her city. She is the daughter of the former
Ambassador to Turkey, Hon. Abram I. Elkus, who served under Woodrow Wilson.
Mrs. Henry Goddard Leach, of New York. Mrs. Leach was formerly
President of the League of Women Voters, and managed the campaign of
Mrs. O ’Day for Congress. Mrs. Leach is the wife of the editor of Forum.
(She will not be able to attend the sessions of the Commission.)

Company, one of the largest real estate firms in America.

Finally, and most important, a general
survey of existing state and federal taxation would undoubtedly lead to the
elimination "both of injustices and of evasions which are almost inevitable in
forty-nine uncoordinated systems.
The Secretary of the Treasury has already indicated the problem
see it, and the general approach we are making.
as we
In an address before the
Tax Revision Council, he said:
HThe basic problem, as I see it, is to be just to the t a x p a y e r s . ,
Duplicate taxes cause waste, but that is a detail. The greater
problem is to restore equilibrium in the tax structure as a whole,
in order, primarily to be fair and just.
r,The first step, in my opinion, is to make, a careful survey and
analysis of the total tax structure of the country to determine
just how the burden of our governmental expenses is now distri
buted. ,f
The Treasury has recently published the first results of this survey.
The Secretary continued:
"Next, T would note what practicable changes in the combined tax
structure of the country would produce a sound and more equitable
distribution of the total burden. In the third dace, I would
concentrate upon a few important and workable means of eliminating
conflicts, and overlapping in a manner consistent with our analysis
of what constitutes a fundamentally desirable- tax structure.
Finally, having arrived at a few important possibilities which we
know to be fundamentally sound, we can then attempt to put them
into effect.”
A fair solution of the whole problem cannot be arrived at over night, nor
is it likely to spring full-grown from the head of even the most thoughtful
expert.
The solution is more likely to be the final result of a series of
investigations, study and conference
business men, economists and lawyers
by the interested tax adiriinistrators,
It is with the view of enlisting your
own interest that I have ventured to address you upon this still unsettled
problem this evening.
ooOco
'al functions*
~10~
It is urged that if the taxpayer *s eyes are focused on Washington
his concern for economy in his state will be replaced by a desire that his state
shall obtain as much as possible out of the common fund; and thus that govern
mental waste in the states will outstrip any economies in the tax administration
itself*
Similarly, that the present legal disputes over state jurisdiction to
tax will simply be replaced by political disputes in Congress as to the fo rm u las
for allocating revenues to the various states; and that these allocations will
not necessarily bear any proper relationship to the functions the particular
state is performing, or to its desserts as a revenue-producer*
These questions have been receiving thoughtful consideration from congress
ional committees, xrom the Interstate Conference of Legislators, from the National
Tax Association, and from other students of the subject;
The President directed
the Treasury in 1935,fto undertake a study of sources of taxation, with particular
reference to the matter of conflict or overlapping of Federal, State and local
taxation11; and the President added: ,rWhen this study is complete it should furnish
the basis for discussion of the problems involved with representatives of the
states.H
It is hazardous to forecast ary conclusions in advance of the completion of
a study of this kind, but some general observations are possible.
In the first
place, it is nardly likely that any one of the plans I have mentioned— separation
Ox
sources, crediting sta.te against federal taxes, or federal collection and dis
tribution
will alone be used in the case of all the major duplicated taxes.
It
is more likely that some combination of these solutions, perhaps with others,
will ultimately be found to produce the most satisfactory results.
It is quite
possible that, with more prosperous times, the national government or the states
can and will voluntarily relinquish the imposition of some of the duplicated taxes
Again, Congress may conclude for example, to substitute federal collection of
gasoline taxes, plus an allocation of some or all the proceeds to such states
as will relinquish their present gasoline taxes, in place of direct federal
grants for highway construction*
The states might thereby be assured of at
least their present revenue, with less cost to themselves, and with no real loss
9 of forms that the definition of the credit would he extremely difficult.
Hence,
the crediting device, like a further separation of sources, can hardly he used
to solve the whole problem of conflicts, though quite possibly its use can he
advantageously extended somewhat.
Federal collection and distribution of revenues from designated taxes has
received distinguished advocacy from state tax: administrators*
Several advan
tages of such an arrangement have; an obvious appeal to taxpayers as well.
Dupli
cate administrations would be eliminated along with the concomitant harassments
of double returns, double examinations, and possibly litigation.
Indeed in the case of corporations doing business in several states, one
franchise tax return could be substituted for the many now required; and the
corporation's accounting officers would be relieved of the expensive task of
allocating capital stock, property or income to the various states according to
the almost completely divergent formulas employed by each if them.
Difficult
legal problems as to the jurisdiction of a particular state to levy a tax upon
transactions across state lines, for example, would be eliminated, for the
power of the federal government to levy the taxes as to which conflicts exist is
well established.
The present advantage which certain interstate businesses and
transactions enjoy over domestic businesses would be ended, and the two would ee
taxed upon the same footing.
By the same token, tax bootlegging transactions
across sta,te lines would be greatly curtailed, and the present state enforcement
personnel could be reduced correspondingly,
Finally, it would be more nearly
possible to view the nation's tax system as a whole, and to adjust the incidence
and the rates of taxation with measurable fairness.
Critics of the plan do not deny these advantages, but stress political ob- '
jections which they regard as inherent in our form of government,
The centrali
zation of taxing power in the federal government arouses serious criticism from
those who are anxious to preserve to the full the fiscal independence of the
states, which they deem to be essential to a proper performance of its tradition
government tax income, a similar agreement cannot readily be reached between
48 states and the national government.
The slow accretion of public sentiment
will probably lead to some further developments in the direction of separation
of sources, perhaps concurrently with some shifting of governmental functions
from the one sovereignty to the other, but the process will not be quickly or
easily concluded.
Two other solutions of the present conflicts have received wide advocacy:
(1 ) the crediting of payments of designated state taxes against similar federal
taxes, as is now permitted to some extent in the case of estate and inheritance
taxes; and (2 ) federal collection of certain imposts, followed by distribution
to the states of at least a part of the collections.
The crediting device has
directly brought about a considerable degree of uniformity in the rates of
state inheritance taxes, as it was intended to do; and in effect has largely
limited the total imposition upon any estate to the current federal rates.
On
the other hand, the crediting arrangement not only necessitates duplicate re
turns, duplicate examinations and duplicate administrations, but involves serious
practical complications in the final determination of the taxes due to the two
jurisdictions in the case of sizeable estates.
Although the main advantage of
the crediting provision over other suggested methods of eliminating conflicts is
that it leaves the state
free to determine rates for itself, this independence
is more apparent than real.
Actually, the federal government is established as
the dominant partner; it really determines the total rate, for the amount the
states may collect is practically pretty well restricted to the credit which the
federal government chooses to allow.
Finally, the crediting device is possible
only when the taxes imposed by the two governments are identical or at least very
similar; and it can hardly be fairly employed, unless the tax in question is used
almost universally by the states.
The income tax meets the first test, but not
the second, for important states, such as U.J. and Illinois, do not levy it.
Taxes on corporations are generally levied by the states; but in such a variety
A more likely suggestion is a separation of sources; that is, that the
federal government should confine itself to certain agreed forms of taxes, and
the states, to others.
To some degree such a separation exists even now.
The
federal government has not resorted to property taxes, the mainstay of the local
governments, for many years; and the constitutional requirement of apportionment
according to population will prevent it from doing so to any important degree, |
in the future.
Similarly, the states are constitutionally prevented from levy
ing customs duties-.
removed*
It is unlikely that either of these limitations will he
The states are also under important restrictions in taxing corporation
engaged in interstate commerce, or transactions a.cross state lines; and transfer
of property deemed by the Supreme Court to have a legal situs in another state,
A modification of some of these restrictions is certainly a possibility, for
bills for this purpose have been introduced in Congress in past years, one of
which has been favorably considered by the Senate.-
A further separation of
sources is possible, but the legal and practical obstacles are serious.
principal conflicts occur in the cases of the lucrative taxes.
The
Thus the gaso
line tax yielded $589 millions to the states in 1935, and $161 millions to the
federal government*
from this source.
The federal government is now obtaining nearly $200 million
Income taxes yielded to the states $240 millions in 1930 and
$165 millions in 1935; while the federal government is now collecting $2,373
millions,
neither the state nor the federal government will be anxious to risk
the crippling of its resources in hard times, by a complete relinquishment of
particular productive taxes.
Moreover,- it is not easy to see how the sep aration
could legally b e accomplished.
While two business men or economists might be able to agree that the
federal government alone should tax sales of tobacco, and the states alone, sale
of gasoline; the states alone tax transfers of property at death, and the fédéra
tion#
'Thus a sale of an automobile by a New York City dealer to a resident
the city is now subject to a city sales tax*
If the purchaser orders the car
across the river in New Jersey for delivery in New York, it is possible t*
arrange matters so that the sale will not be taxable in either -olace.
Similarly
a Delaware corporation may maintain an active branch in Ohio, but so conduct
its affairs that it is not legally doing a local business there, but merely
taking orders which are accented or rejected at the home office elsewhere.
It has been urged that these exemptions can be eliminated by a federal enabling
act, increasing the taxiing power of the states.
However, serious difficulties
must be overcome in the formulation of the grant of power, if an undesirable
double taxation by independent states of companies doing an interstate business
is to be avoided, with accompanying litigation.
Certainly
some
uniform foramls
for allocating property or income to the respective states should be nut into
effect, if it is at all possible; and that result is hard to achieve by indepen
dent state auction.
Granted that some coordination of state and federal taxing systems has
therefore become desirable, the next step is to devise means for eliminating
the present conflicts without violence to the present structure of government.
A brief survey indicates difficulties in the way of any of the suggested solu
tions^
In a federal system of government, freedom of action by states and the
nation within their respective spheres, particularly in financial matters, is
axiomatic.
The central government*s difficulties under the articles of the
confederation, when it sought to depend upon requisitions of funds from the
constituent states, demonstrate the need by any sovereignty for an independent
power to tax if it is to live a life of its own.
While a grant to the federal
government of the sole power of taxation would end the present conflicts, it
would also end state and local government as we know them now.
would wish to pay that or ice*
Few citizens
low limitations of the credit hut the levy of the gift tax at much lower rates
than the estate tax is effective in promoting large inter vivos gifts, and thereby
preventing the imposition of any death taxes at all.
Similarly, since the federal
income tax is relatively low in the middle ranges of the surtax brackets, the
states have in fact largely restricted themselves to income tax rates of a con«
verse sort.., that is, rakes which like that of New York are graduated rather steepll
in the lower ranges, hut which flatten out in the upper brackets.
The gasoline
tax, on the other hand, is levied at higher rates by the states than by the federal
government, a tacit recognition of their priorities in this field.
In all cases,
each government must necessarily adjust its. impositions somewhat to the existing
taxes of the others, for the total exaction must not be so great as to imperil or
to dry up the flow of revenue.
But this rough adjustment is arrived at, of course,
tax by tax, without much consideration of the tax system as a whole.
Each juris
diction is apt to seize upon the readiest instrument for meeting its revenue needs,
more or less regardless of the use already being made by other jurisdictions.
It
is therefore quite likely that some sources are being overtaxed; and that some
taxes could be m^re advantageously administered by one jurisdiction alone, and.not
necessarily by the jurisdiction which now collects the chief revenue therefrom,'
Finally, it is becoming increasingly hard for stakes to formulake their finan
cial programs, without knowledge of whak the federal government will do.
Another objection to the present uncoordinated system arises out of the
constitutional barrier to stake taxation which is deemed by the federal courts
to burden interstate commerce.
In the first place, it is by no means easy to
define what types of taxes may validly be used by the stakes and what taxpayers
may be subjected to them.
Again the eomolete absence of any imposition upon
sane
types of transactions legally interstate in character, while similar transactions
legally local in character are taxed, frequently encourages transactions which
are economically undesirable and which would never occur but for this
discrim in a-
4«
Prom the same group cf taxes, the federal government will derive approximated
$4,321 millions in 1936-37.
In other words* somewhat more than half* the state
revenues and nearly three^-fourths of the federal revenues are now derived from
taxes which are levied by both jurisdictions*
In addition, some of these taxes,
notably the gasoline tax, are also levied by local subdivisions; and Hew York
City made an abortive attempt to impose an income tax and inheritance tax.
It may be urged that the levy of two taxes by two jurisdictions on the same
subject is no more objectionable than the levy by a single jurisdiction of a
single tax at the combined rate.
The total tax burden is the same in both cases.
But this proposition is only superficially correct.
We do not have satisfactory
statistics on the cost to taxpayers of paying taxes, that is, of preparing the
original return-, and such supplemental data as may be required; of conferring with!
examining agents; of formulating protests against proposed additional taxes; and
ef litigating unsettled questions,
are considerable.
nevertheless, it is evident that these costs
Moreover, they are certainly much greater if the taxpayer must
submit returns to several administrations than they would be if he were responsible!
to only one.
Finally, the determination of the amounts due to several states and
to the federal government under different forms of statutory provisions, which
change with some frequency-, is difficult in any case; and undoubtedly the cost
of the determination nearly equals the tax itself in some instances.
Similarly,
the cost to the governments of maintaining duplicate and independent administra
tions, must be greater than the cost of a single bureau.
In the second places either the state or the federal tax is likely to become
dominant in the course of years, so far as any particular type of impost is con
cerned.
The federal government certainly dominates the estate tax and gift tax
field, and so long as the present federal tax is maintained the stades
secure large additional revenue from this source*
can
hardly
Hot only is the federal
c r e d it
provision a strong encouragement to states to keep their rates wihin the relatively
- 3 on corporations measured "by their net income, and of a proposed amendment to
the Constitution to permit the taxation of all incomes*
The amendment was ap~ j
proved by the requisite number of states in 1913 and a statute imposing such
a tax followed in the same year.
The far brought not only an enormous de
velopment in the income tax, hut the introduction of the excess profits tax,
the capital stock tax, an elaborate list of new excise taxes, and the readoption
of a tax on transfers at death, this time in the form of an estate tax.
These
taxes were reduced or repealed after the war, but the depression necessitated
the restoration of some, and increases in rates in others#
At the present
time the backbone of the federal revemies is made up of the income tax ($2,373
millions); the estate and gift taxes ($415 millions); and a great variety of ex
cise and stamp taxes on sales of various commodities ($506 millions); in ad
dition to the original big three, customs ($447 millions); liquor taxes ($595
millions); and ti»ba,cco taxes ($542 millions).
To summarize in another way, out
fcf $5,189 millions of estimated internal revenue collections for the current
year; about 45 percent will come from the income tax, and about 8 percent from
estate and gift taxes, the remaining 47 percent will come for the most part
from many different forms of excise taxes, principally taxes on specified sales
In the meantime, the pressure for additional revenue has similarly led the
states and their subdivisions into several new forms of taxation.
The general
property tax remains the chief producer, its revenues going for the most part t
local subdivisions*
Following the lead of Wisconsin in 1911, state income taxe
have come into force in some thirty states; the gasoline tax has been univer
sally adopted; general sales taxes are now in effect in 23 states; and excise j
taxes on various commodities, principally tobacco, are widespread.
Thus we finj
six types of taxes which are levied both by the Federal Government and by
twent
three or more states, though in varying forms:} estate and inheritance taxes; W
come taxes; gasoline taxes; sales taxes; liquor taxes; and tobacco taxes.
this group the states derived $1,334 millions in 1935.

$12,500 millions, currently "being collected, $5,500 millions goes to the federal
government, $2,500 millions to the state governments and $4,500 millions to the
local governments.
Partly because -problems of federal taxation seem to have
attracted more attention and discussion than the problem of coordinating state
and federal fiscal systems; partly because the latter problem is basic in con
sidering the virtues of the present fiscal systems, or the wisdom of proposals
for changes; your chairman has asked me to devote most of my time to it this
evening.
In the question period following this address, it will be possible
to discuss other current problems in which you may be interested.
During the period from the Civil Wax until the adoption of the income tax
amendment in 1913, the states and the federal government quite successfully
avoided overlapping taxes.
The need for revenue was much less than it is today,
for the demandfor governmental services was less and the state and federal
governments could and did satisfy their respective requirements, without much
resort to common types of taxes.
To be sure, the aggregate of wealth and of
income on which the taxes fell was the same, but the particular imposts were
distinct.
Federal revenues sprang from three main sources, customs duties,
liquor taxes, and tobacco taxes.
The state and local governments depended for
their revenue almost entirely on the general property tax and special corpora
tion taxes.
During the Civil War, and again in the nineties, the federal govern;
ment resorted to income and inheritance taxes, but in neither ca.se was the
experiment long-lived.
It io not surprising therefore that men came to believe,
as no douot some still do, that the '’proper” exercise of the federal taxing
power consisted of the three traditional imposts, and that other types of taxes
were abnormal and indeed undesirable,
A revolution in this state of affairs began shortly before the World War
and was brought to fruition during the .war years and the period since,
Agita-
tion for a federal income tax led to the adoption by Congress in 1909 of a tax

The Coordination of State and Federal Taxes
The President^ Budget Message annually focuses the at tient ion of business
men and other taxpayers upon the problems of financing the activities of the
federal government.
It is well that the message and its accompanying statements
should snow in detail, as they do, tne exact sources of the various governmental
revenues, and the items for which expenditures are estimated.
The man who
described tne best tax a.s tne one wr.ich plucks the feathers from the goose but
causes, the least snuawking was not a modern economist, for the modern trend of
thought in taxation is directed toward a tax-conscious public.
The more acute
the citizerfs consciousness oi his tax ourdens, the more active his interest in
the operations and particularly the expenditures of the state.
But the Budget, the reports oî the Secretary of the Treasury and of the
Commissioner of Interned Revenue, because of their very deta.il, are formidable
documents even for à business man to read and understand*
Moreover, it is
important that the federal taxes should be considered in their proper association
with the state taxes which are oeing levied simultaneously upon the sane income,
wealth, transactions and taxpayers#
The federal taxes yield about forty-five
percent of the total annual tax collections in the United States* out of

The object of the Ice Patrol is to locate by scouting and by radio
information the icebergs and field ice nearest to and menacing the North Atlantic
lane routes.
This International service is carried on by the Coast Guard unden
the provisions of the International Convention for the Safety of Life
The establishment of a regular Ice Patrol followed the sinking of the TITANIC
on April 14, 1912, and has been carried on annually since then.
The efficiency
and value of the service is reflected in the fact that since its establishment
there has been no loss of life within the scope of operations of the Ice Patrol,
due to collision with icebergs.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tuesday, February 23, 1937
The Secretary cf the Treasury made known today that it had been
brought tc his attention by the Commissioner cf Internal Revenue that
employers in seme instances were adding an item cf 2 percent tc their
bills or invoices and listing such item as a social security tax.
A tax cf 2 percent cf the sale price cf an article would be
necessarily greatly in excess of the amount cf taxes imposed under the
Social Security Act with respect tc the compensation cf the employees
engaged in the production of such article.
Even though an employer
might in seme instances pay the social security tax on behalf cf his
employees as well as the tax on the employer, the sum cf these taxes
would not in any case be measured by the sale price cf the articles
sold.
For this reason, to indicate an item on an invoice as a social
security tax, which item amounts tc 2 percent of the sale price of the
article listed on the invoice, would be a palpable misrepresentation
cf the amount cf taxes imposed under the Social Security Act.
Persons
engaged in this form of misrepresentation would be subject tc prosecu
tion under the previsions cf Section 1123 of the Revenue Act of 1926
relating tc frauds on purchasers, which are made applicable tc the
Social Security Act by Section 307 (c) cf that Act.
Section 1123 of the Revenue Act cf 1926 reads as fellows?

EOR RELEASE, MORNING NEWSPAPERS
Sunday, February 28, 1937.
2/25/37.
Press Release
No. 9-65
As an aid to air transport safety, the United States Coast Guard
today directed attention to developments over the last six years hy the
pilots and technicians of the Service that are proving highly Scatisfactory in practice.
Commander E. C. Zeusler, Chief of Coast Guard Communications, said
that each new improvement in the field of radio direction finding had
■been made available to the public as it was perfected for use by rescue
and scouting planes.
Because application of the "radio compass" was dependent upon an
elementary training in navigation, such as is required of all Coast
Guard personnel, officers of the aviation division said this method of
determining position has offered no obstacle to its adoption for use in
their aircraft.
Pilots of the Service, Commander Zeusler pointed out, have been re
porting complete ease of radio navigational checks during flight.
They
also say that correction for the advance of the plane during the operation
of obtaining a "fix" is a simple matter.
"Seagoing officers have an advantage in the use of this equipment, "
said the Commander, "since they have used metallically shielded anti
static loop antennas on vessels for the past fourteen years.
The Coast
Guard has found them an effective means for obtaining satisfactory radio
direction finder operation, in spite of the atmospheric electrical dis
turbances set up by rain, snow, sleet, sand, smoke or dust."
2
The first Coast Guard aircraft installation of this device was made
in February of 1951 at the Cape May (N.J.) Air Station on plane CG-X6 .
Shortly thereafter, all Coast Guard planes were provided with this device,
which proved its value not only for direction finding, hut also as an aid
to reception of communications during conditions of excess static.
Even with the introduction of the radio directional beam, the Coast
Guard still looks upon the antenna loop
as a valuable adjunct to air
safety equipment and as a vitally necessary device when their aircraft fly
out to sea where the radio beam is not available and at such times as the
radio beam*is undependable.
By 1933, the necessity for extending radio direction finding to the
higher frequencies resulted in the development of the double anti-static
loop.
The larger loop is used on the low and intermediate (200 to 1500
kilocycles) frequency band while the small or inner loop covers the Coast
Guard high frequency band (2600 to 5000 kilocycles).
Heed for a new refinement appeared in 1935 when the advent of high
speed planes required drastic reduction of air resistance and air turbulency characteristics of the circular type of loop.
This was accomplished
by reducing the diameter of the loop from twelve inches to six inches and
enclosing the loop within a streamlined housing.
The loop enclosed in
the streamlined housing has an air resistance of approximately two pounds
at 200 miles per hour while the former open circular type offered as much
as 57 pounds resistance at 200 miles per hour.
Furthermore, the new stream
lined affair eliminated the undesirable tendency to a d I xt ice which
characterized the circular type.
No la&io direction finder is any "better than its calibration.
In
order to meet this basic and extremely important requirement, all radio
direction finders installed in Coast Guard airplanes are carefully cali
brated in order to eliminate directional errors which result from the
effect of the airplane itself on approaching radio waves.
This error
is determined by placing the airplane on a specially constructed cart
or t'dolly1’ and orienting the plane in azimuth while trained observers
note the difference between the radio and visual bearings taken on the
calibrating target which consists of a radio transmitter stationed about
two miles distant from the plane.
Coast Guard engineers are now Y/orking on adaptations of the cathode
ray device for indicating true bearings that will provide automatic allyilluminated dial markings for use in connection either with the beam or
the direction finder.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE,
Monday, March 1, 1937.
Press Service
Flo. 9-67
The United States Public Health Service, in cooperation with State health
authorities, made effective today a comprehensive program of attack on the more
permanent health and sanitation problems resulting from the recent flood in the
Ohio and Mississippi River valleys.
1.
The program, in two phases, calls fori
Grants to state and local health authorities to prevent the spread
of disease and preserve the health of those who had been in the flood area.
2.
Temporary expansion of existing health service facilities and creation
of new health units in communities now lacking in organized health facilities.
Allocations are to be made by Surgeon General Thomas Parran to states, for use
over a six-month period, following the approval on February 26 by the President of
a Congressional resolution setting aside $1,062,000 from the first deficiency,relief
appropriation for special health needs that appeared in the wake of the flood.
Problems with which the health authorities will cope include the.following?
Restoration of safe drinking water in urban and rural communities.
Sanitation of wells and springs and testing thereof for safe usage.
Safe disposal of human waste. Conditions are particularly bad in some
of the rural districts. Sanitary privies will be constructed to alleviate
the situation under the direction of health unit personnel.
Rehabilitation of homes which were submerged to make them safe as well
as healthy, Most submerged homes are now placarded and cannot be
re-entered until inspected and found fit by local authorities, Notices
issued by such authorities advise owners how to make homes again
habitable.
The health of individuals will be protected, with emphasis on that of
school children who will be immunized against smallpox and diphtheria,
particularly.
Inspections of children will be made in accordance with
local laws and regulations.
Rural health work will be undertaken to provide the people with such
health and sanitary safeguards as may. be necessary to a comfortable
existence and to prevent the spread of disease.
To assist in meeting the need for local health personnel, the Public Health
Service will lend a number of medical officers to help local authorities' (l) to aid
in the present emergency, and (2) sc that these officers may be of greater service
to the general wellrbeing in the future.
Fifteen of the younger Public Health
officers will be placed in the field for the joint purpose of learning as well as
helping.
These men will be taken from the hospitals conducted by the Public.Health
Service, even though there is a shortage of assistance in those institutions.
Ten
of these officers will take local posts in Kentucky to undertake communicable dis
ease control and to try to head off disease before it intrenches itself.
Fifty nurses will be
employed by the State Health Department for work in
Kentucky’s stricken sections for public health nursing work, including the super
vision of school.children, prenatal care of expectant mothers and postnatal
care
after childbirth.
Work will be done' in control of venereal diseases and facilities will be pro
vided fcr early diagnosis and treatment.
The Public Health Service pointed out
that outbreaks.of epidemics cf social diseases are just as possible as are those of
ether, ailments.
Hospital records may be checked to ascertain whether or net rheumatic fever,
often fatal to children, is contracted by living in damp houses, as some authorities
(sentend..
This is an example of the opportunities for research afforded by the disas
ter.
The Public Health Service noted that local health authorities in many communi
ties are trying tc take over lands where homes have been destroyed, with the idea of
turning spaces most likely tc be again submerged into parks.
The primary motive is
to get people into higher regions and cut of the mere dangerous localities.
One cf the prime objectives cf the program of the State health authorities
-3and the Public Health Service is tc educate people in communities and counties
where
there are nc local health agencies tc the value cf such organizations, in
normal as well as emergence times.
Dr, Robert Olesen, cf the Public Health Service,
whe recently returned from a month’s stay in the flood region, pointed cut the value
of such local organizations and cited the assistance rendered,by adjacent and more
safolir situated counties and communities tc those in distress.
He likened the
advance of the health authorities from the uninjured regions to a troop movement in
a gigantic battle where reserves are brought up from the rear tc reinforce the weak
spots of the front line.

nIt is our feeling that the increase in plant seizures means that the state

The 1935 report showed 195 tons of bullf marihuana and 1,012 plants seized

Modernization of the Coast Guard*s life-saving setup along stretches of the
Atlantic Coast for greater protection to the public was ordered today by the
Commandant, Rear Admiral R.R. Waesche.
The orders, issued to commanders of the New York and Norfolk divisions, call
for decommissioning of thirteen stations in a six-month program aimed at more
efficient assistance to vessels in distress and improved living conditions for the
men of the Service.
^The marked increase in the use of motor boats and radio,n the Admiral
advised the division commanders, nhas greatly facilitated life-saving work and
while it has increased the cost of efficient operation of our stations, it has
also tended to reduce the need for stations being so close together along certain
sections of our coastline.
^Conditions governing the work of these stations are quite different now than
the circumstances under which many of them were established.
We have made a care
ful study in all districts with a view to improving our efficiency through modern
ization and consolidation.#
Stations ordered placed in an inactive status in the Norfolk division are;
False Cape
Gurrituck Beach
Paul Gamiels Hill
Bodie Island
Big Kinnakeet
Creeds Hill
Portsmouth
Cape Pear
In the New York division the following Long Island stations from Moriches to
Montauk Point will be decommissioned by September 1:
Amagansett
Southampton
Tiana
Quogue
Po tunk
Nineteen stations in the Norfolk division will remain active under the order
They are:
Cape Henry
Virginia Beach
Little Island
Wash Woods
Caffeys Inlet
Kill Devil Hills
Nags Head
Oregon Inlet
Pea Island
Chicamacomico
Little Kinnakeet
Cape Hatteras
Hatteras Inlet
Ocracoke
Coro Bank
Cape Lookout
Fort Macon
Boguo Inlet
Oak Island
Remaining active on Long Island from Moriches to Moiitauk Point will he the
following stations:
Ditch Plain
Napoague
Ceorgica
Shinnecock
Moriches
The Commandant ordered that lookout towers of inactive stations he manned at
the discretion of the division and district commanders,the lookouts being trans
ported hy motor track from and to their permanent stations.
Where deemed necessary,
he also ordered that heats, boathouses and breeches buoy apparatus be maintained at
inactive stations.
’’Commercial sailing vessels that once plied our coasts in great numbers are
now a rarity,” Admiral Waesche said in his communications to the division comman
ders.
’’Meter craft for c'ommerce, fishing and pleasure are the rule today.
Improve
ments in methods of navigation have reduced materially the number of strandings
of large vessels along cur coasts.
’’The development of motor equipment on land, such as trucks and tractors, and
the construction of roads has facilitated the transportation of life-saving
equipment from point tc point along the coasts.
”The funds appropriated for the Coast G-uard are insufficient to modernize all
our stations and equip thorn properly with trucks, tractors and radio and with
various types of motor boats, all needed for efficient operation.
And the number
of men new at each station tc man this modern equipment is inadequate.
Modern
«F
-3living conditions, to which, our men are entitled, require installation and main
tenance charges in excess of our annual appropriations for that purpose;,t
As a result, the Admiral pointed cut, many of the stations have neither
sufficient men nor equipment to respond promptly to the calls for assistance
received cr.to carry cut effectively the law enforcement work with which they
are charged,
,TBy this regrouping,,r he said, ,fwe shall "be able tc increase considerably
cur service tc the public and improve measurably the living conditions of the men.**

where seizures were made by foreign police prior to shipment to this country
rather than at the time of attempted delivery here.
On March 7 it was reported to Deputy Commissioner Thomas J. German, who
is in charge of the Customs Agency Service, that sixteen bricks of opium, in
tended for shipment on the American liner ’’Quaker City,” had been found by the

Further adjustments in the life-saving work of the New York and Norfolk
divisions of the United States Coast Guard to meet modern conditions were
ordered today by the Commandant, Rear Admiral R.R. Waesche#
In a six—month program aimed at greater protection to the maritime public,
thirteen stations in the same Atlantic coast divisions were ordered three weeks
ago to prepare for an inactive status.
Today's orders call for the decommission
ing of twenty—one stations and the recommissioning of one now inactive —
the
Cold Spring station at Cape May Harbor, N.J.
Stations on Long Island whose men and equipment will be transferred to
strengthen the complements of nearby stations are;•
Smiths Point
Blue Point
Lone Hill
Point of Woods
Oak Island Beach
Ordered placed in an inactive status along the Jersey coast are the
following stations;
Sea Bright
Long Branch
Deal
Bayhead
Mcntoloking
Island Beach
Harvey Cedars
Little Beach
Absecon
Pecks Beach
Sea Isle City
Avalon
Wildwood
Cape May Point
In the Norfolk division , Cape Henlopen and Wachapreague stations have
been added to eight previously ordered decommissioned.
Admiral Waesche, in issuing the orders to the division commanders, reiter^
afc®d that marked increase in the use of motor boafrs and radio for distress work
had reduced the need for a closely-knit line of stations along the coast,but
requires more men and equipment at those stations remaining in operation#* t

More than 50 federal properties were offered for sale today by the Procurement
Division of the Treasury Department.
Practically all of the buildings and sites
to he sold have been supplanted by new structures erected under the Emergency
Construction Programs authorized by the Congress in 1934-35-36.
The buildings have been declared surplus by federal agencies which formerly
occupied them, but many of them are now occupied by city, county and state agencies
Occupants of all the buildings are required to vacate upon 30 days notice*
While legal advertisements have not yet been published as required by law,
the Real Estate section of the Procurement Division has had local custodians place
placards on the buildings offering them for sale.
As soon as interest warrants, action will be taken by the division, advertis
ing the buildings for sale and calling for bids to be opened on certain dates.
While the federal government hopes to realize several millions of dollars
from the sale of these properties, it was pointed cut that their sale will also
mean an increased tax return for municipalities and ether political subdivisions,
as the government holds the properties tax free, even in cases where.the build
ings or the land have been rented or leased to private individuals or corporations*
In many instances cities are taking advantage of the law which provides that
the Secretary cf the Treasury may accept a minimum cf 50 percent of the appraised
value cf the property, although this is not mandatory.
In cases where cities cr
other political subdivisions purchase property from the government under these
circumstances, title to the property remains with the purchaser, only sc long as
it is used for public purposes.
Title to the property reverts to the federal
government as soon as the property is no longer held for public use,
Properties new offered for sale are located in 27 states and represent an
outlay cf approximately $11,000,000,
The new structures which supplanted these
>2surplus "buildings were erected at a cost cf approximately $45,000,000.
The eldest property offered fer sale in this group is the old Federal Court
House at Mobile, Alabama, erected in 1856 at a cost cf $410,000,
It was supplanted
in 1935.
The buildings are located as follows!

that the Bureau of internal Revenue has received complaints concerning the
wrongful activity of persons in some western localities in seeking to
induce producers of hogs and consumers of different articles to file
claims for refunds of processing tax imposed during the effective period
of the Agricultural Adjustment Act*
According to these complaints, farmers were erroneously told they
could make claims for amounts which buyers of live hogs deducted from the
farmers selling price as "processing tax".
Likewise many consumers who
bought articles processed from commodities which were subject to the process
ing tax were misled into thinking they could make similar claims*
Commissioner Helvering aw-empha%.zed statements previously issued
by the Bureau that a refund of taxes imposed under the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act may be allowed only to a person who actually paid such taxes to the
Government,through
CollectorS/kf Internal Revenue.
No authority exists
under the law by which a refund may be made to farmers of amounts equivalent
to the tax which may have been deducted by hog buyers from the sales prices
