| This bill has now become q law, and its
purpose was thus briefly explained by
| Senator Hall, on reporting it to the Senate,
and recommending its passage:
Mr.. HALL said the purpose of the bill
was to bring on the tax duplicate large
amount of capital which has heretofore es-
capped taxation by a temporary investment
in Government and State securities just
before the time requiring the enlistment of
property for taxation, and selling out soon
after. Under the amended law this capital
is exempt from taxation only so long as
it remains i'm such securities for
the remainder of the year it is
taxed the same as other property. This
is the most important bill for the tax payers
passed this session. 1t is estimated that it
will bring on the duplicate at least fifty
millions of capital which by this subterfuge
has heretofore escaped taxation. 1t will
relieve the money markets of the State from
the embarrassment and pressure which oc-
cur annually about the time of the enlist
ment by the great demand for money to be
temporarily invested in such securities to
avoid taxation.
