Senate bill No. 8 being referred to this
Committee We respectfully report that in
the view OF the minority there is no differ.
ence in principle between deed OF trust
given TO secure purchase money for land
and trust given on land to secure any
other debt. So far as liability to taxation
is concerned, The point raised in the bill
is in substance Identical to that presented
in the amendment to the tax bill BY the
member from Ohio (Dr. Logan) and voted
down. Under the law q purchaser OF
land in possession is liable for the taxes on
the land. Ifhe has paid cash for the land,
he is taxed with the land, and his vendor
istaxed with the purchase money. II the
purchaser instead Of cash pays his bond
or the bonds OF another on the land SO.
cured by deed Of trust, It does not change
the principle, the land is taxable In tho
hands Of the purchaser as real estate, and
the solvent land bonds owned by the
vendor should DO taxed as any other sol.
vent bonds, and subject to the same rules.
