alton, and il aptly illustrates the evil that may
grow sut Of legislation under a suspension Of tho
rules during the closing hours Of a session.
There was in my mind another serious oNec
tion 30 the bill The law Of 1851 required the
tax upon the stock Of non-residcnts to be paid
into the State Treasury whore all the people Of
the State would receive proportionate benefit
The proposed amendment gave the advantage
from taxing stock of non-rcsidcnts to the towns
Ia which the milrJnd corporation might keep H.
/ principal office.
While nothing should be done to affect the Va.
hdty Of the law Of 1851 until final decision Is
reached IN the oase now pending, it may be well
/ 10 consider whether IL would not hc sound policy
/ 70 adopt system OF taxation which shall he cnn-
sistent in is various parts and do equal justice

Neither the existing law, nor the proposed
amendment, applies to railroads built or owned

receive his interest regularly, isnot taxed. though

of a share Is tl be taxed, although the bond is
practically as much part OF the rhlroad capital
as the stock.

holders and bIndh1ldets in pl-sessinn, should not
stand on the -ame footing in this respect, or why
