No Exemptions for Corporations.


Our hopes in the Convention are strength
ening rapidly. Yesterday we gave The
vote on the day before on the exemption of
corporate property from taxation. The
day not only passed over without recon-
sideration, but it was distinguished by a
vote on the same point still stronger than
that of the first. su
The report Of the Committee on Corpor.
ations being up, discussion ensued on
Sec. 4:
"That the property Of corporations shall
forever be subject TO taxation the same as
property of individuals 1t was submit.
ed that this would not apply to corporations
now in operation. Whereupon Mr.. Ran.
ney moved to amend so as to reud-
"The property of corporations, nolo
existing or hereafter created, shall forev-
er be subject TO taxation, the same as the
property of individuals"
Those who voted for the amendment
were all Democrats but Free Soilers-
