Taxing Government Bonds Stirs Tax Policy Debate
A May 4, 1939 discussion argues the Supreme Court ruling allowing taxation of government bonds could end new tax free issues. Legal experts say no constitutional bar exists, noting tax-free bonds deprive tax revenue and private capital, while taxation of government workers could follow the same logic as private workers. A next step proposed is Congress refusing more tax-free securities.

Local Hogmen Urged To Feed For Early Market
Shawano county hog producers are urged to use sanitation and pasture to ready the 1939 pig crop for August and September marketing. Experts predict spring gains will depress late season markets, stressing early pounds as cheapest. Guidance on feed mixes includes corn, barley, middlings, skim milk, or buttermilk, with tankage and linseed meal as options if dairy goods are unavailable.
