THE TAXATION or CAPITAL
The Legislature Of Illinois in 1879, and |
its successors since then, Imagined they had !
found tho long.soughs system Of equitable
and Just taxation when they Incorporated In
the Revenue law Of the State provision to
tai every possible form OF personal proper
ty, and thus reach, ohain, punish, and de-
stroy tho greas enemy OF the human race,
Capital. More than half tho present sss-
sion has been devoted 10 discussion Of tho
problem whether Capital Bhould not be
treated as pcstilenco to be 'extirpated BY
all tho powers and machinery Of Government;
and whether 6tata Government which does
not promptly seek TO deliver the psopis from
the presence, growth, influence. and bsleful
consequences Of holding capital should not
b trsased a. faithleas to its trust and deserv-
ing OF the sevsreat condemnation. Tho
present Legislature will in all probability
aeciao, A. II has done before, both questions
In the affirmative. The Revenue law now
provides for tho assessment Of every de-
sorip.ion Of visible OF tangible personal
property In the Btate, aud Also
i. Evsry credit for sum certain. paysb1e In
money or labor.
2. Annulttes and royalties.
3. The capital stock Of all con1panies.
4. Al moneys, credits bonds, stoess, moneys
loaned; all moneys depoAt&ed and subject to
check;
The end and aim of this law ia to
roach, and II possible tax out Of existence,
every dollar Of accumulated earnings. Tint
