These are fully exempt from federal income tax. Without a single exception the entire Virginia dele¬ gation in Congress favors tax-free bonds. Virginia taxpayers will con¬ tribute their share in Federal taxes to lighten the burdens of the million¬ aires who buy the Farmville bonds. The same company advertises $75,000 of Galveston, Texas, tax free bonds to yield the investor 5 per cent. Of course the city of Gal ' eston has to pay a commission be¬ sides the 5 per cent to the company that markets the bonds. Those bonds will be fine for the man who ought to pay forty or fifty per cent fed¬ eral income tax. The industries of Galveston and other Texas cities will pay their share of the federal taxes which the rich owner of the Galves¬ ton bonds avoids by owning these tax-free bonds. Except two Congress¬ men, ail of the Texas delegation vot¬ ed for tax-free bonds. They think it is necessary to impose extra federal taxes on Texas people in order to preserve “our dual form of govern¬ ment.”
