The principle that state.s and their administrative agencies or instrumen talities cannot be taxed_by the fed eral government, and that they in turn may not levy taxes on fe<leral instrumentalities was laid down by the supreme court when John .Mar shall was chief justice. Under the an cient ruling, the United States could not tax state bonds ami the states could not tax fedenal bonds. That, however, was 75 years before the Constitution was amended to per mit the federal government to levy a tax on incomes “from whatever source derived,” ami the supivme court has never been called upon to det<*Tmine whether that permits the taxation of state-paid salaries or not. It has been estimated that more than two million state, county and municipal office-holders who do not now pay fe<leral income-taxes wouhU bt* recjuirwl to contribute to the cost feared an Insurgent attempt to land troops on Catalan soil from the Ba learic islands, off Spain’s ea.st coast, «nd establishe<l a new air coastal pa trol to prevent new complications in the eastern military picture.
