AFTERNOON SESSION.
On motion of Mr. LEACH Bill No. 4O4 was taken
Section was amended in its phraseology. Section
. Mr.. LEACH moved to amend the first subdivision
as follows:
First-The term "property" includes moneys,
CREDITS bonds stocks, Dues franchises and all other
matters and thirSs, real personal and mixed, cspa-
BILE of private ownership.
Also, subdivision seven, to insert firm or eorpo-
ration"
Mr. LEACH said he did not want to tax man in
another State and in this State too.
Mr. NAY wanted to know if the gentleman in
tended that parties may loan their money persons
outside of the state and escape taxation, while
those who loan to citizens of California have to pay
tax? This is premium against our people. He
wanted to leave loophole for men to escape in
any such manner.
Mr. MERRY took the same ground. Those per-
sons who loan money in other Stats should be
taxed.
Mr. LEACH said he was willing to have it so
amended.
Mr. MAY moved TO strike out the words :" by bona
ffde residents Of the State
Mr. Harrison said the section had been considered
in the committee, and it supposed that the prop
erty might be assessed in both States The Courts
have so decided. If man owns property in Nevada
and California the committee were afraid there
might be double taxation.
MIR YoUNa thought it would be a great injustice
TO citizens OF California if they are taxed FOR debts
due TO their own citizens for debts owing to
persons outside OF the state. The who lives in
Virginia City obtain money here cheaper than
our own citizens can. The discrimination ought to
be the other way. Personal properly can be taxed
wherever it may be found, and does not follow the
owner.
Mr.. MERRY was heartily in favor of the bill, but
he wanted it SO amended that no man escape
taxation. This is an incentive to fraud.
The amendment was adopted
Mr. Young wanted the second sentence stricken
out, 'bona tide residents of this State
Mr. LEACH said it was requirement of the Con-
stitution. We cannot deduct debts that are owing
to residents of other States.
Mr. HARDY said there no doubt about the
Constitution. Only debts due to residents of this
State can be deducted.
Mr.. SAYLE offered an amendment to Subdivision
8, so as TO add to improvements, "A1l perennial
grasses not Of natural growth"
Mr.. SAYLg said it necessary for alfalfa or blue
grass are az much OF Improvement fruit trees
or other crops.
Mr Tyler said man who allows bis land to re-
main banen should not have any discrimination in
his favor. He opposed it.
The amendment was lost.
Mr.. SwEKTLASD moved to amend so as to ineude
In the term real estate 'tall tinbers OF natural
growth IN the land Of other persons the lands
OF the United Stats" Mr.. Sweetland said the rail-
road company owns the timber Oh mineral lands
aud does cot pay taxes on it. 1t ought to be COM
PEELED to pay.
Mr. HARDY said it could not be taxed
Mr.. SwEETDAsD quoted the United States statute.
He knew where parties had bought mineral land,
aud eoud not get the timber, for it belongs to the
railroad company, and he wanted it assessed.
Mr.. fouNG sad the bill already provides for it,

personal property, and not real estate.
The amendment was adopted.
MIR. YoUNG moved to strike out the words q to
bona hde residents Of this State" Lost
Mr.. BENNETT moved 10 insert the word solvent
before debts u the definition Of credits He said
Il was imperative to tax credits but no debts that
are not solvent should be assessed to man.
