Il It Double Tsxation9
from the 8. F. Chronic le. I

The Supreme Court has given a
decision sustaining the Act of the
Legislature which exempts the
stock or shares Of corporations from
taxes. The opinion
frankly comedies what the Journal
istic howlers against the Constitu-
tion have always denied, namely,
that "the share Tor stock) Of each
st0ckh0ider is undoubtedly proper.
IT," And yet the concession was
hardly necessary. considering that
the Constitution expressly declares
that stock is property and taxable.
But the Court argue that "the stock
of q CO :. OratiOn consists only of its
franchise, and such other property
as 1t may own" that when u gas
company is taxed for Its franchise,
Its pipes and all Its tangible mate
rial, or a railway company for its
franchise, .roadbed, engines, cars,
ties and rails, oil the stock held In
either case IL double taxation,
which the Constitution cannot be
reasonably supposed to intend.
Certainly II the premises Of this ar.
gument are true, the conclusion
must be. But are they true. II
II . fact that the tangible
material and the franchise Of
3 corporation cover all the value
of ~ propertyf We do not think
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1881-06-04

so: nor, with all due respect to tn Q
Supreme Court, does the Constitu-
tion warrant such q conclusion.
Let US take gas company for il.
lustration. It has 100, 600 shares of
stock of the par value of $100 a
share, and quoted and selling at
par In the market. Here is q prop.
erty in stock as we'll worth $1O,.
000, ,OGO as q hundred dollar green.
back is worth 500. But this de-
cision Gays it is not taxable, be-
cause the company's franchise,
pipes, mains and tangible material
are taxed. But on examination of
the Assessors books 1t Is found
that all this tangible material and
the franchise is only worth $3,00O,.
900. and in fact they are not
worth more. There is, then, very
clearly property vested some-
where in this corporation of the
cash and market value OF $7,OOO,.
600 that Is not taxed, but that the
Constitution inteded to be taxed.
Where Is that property? 1t can
be nowhere but In the stock shares.
It is there, and the Constitution
expressly makes it taxable. The
Act Of the Legislature, which
this decision sustains. exempts 1t
by simply treating the constitu.
tiOnal provision as a dead letter.
The old law under which property
was assessed last year provided that
corporation property should be as.
seesed this way: (D It's franchise
and all else but it's capital stock.
(2) That the market value OF the
stock should then be ascertained,
and If such value exceeds the as.
sessed value of its franchise and all
other property, the amount of such
excess must be divided by the
whole number of shares il sued, and
each share must be assessed to the
holder, for 1t its proportionate value
of such excess. ThIs was law in
exact conformity with the intent of
the Constitution, and there was no
such fallacy As "double taxationn
IN 1t. The last Legislature, under
the false pretense of "double tax.
ation," exempted all property In
stocks; that Is to say, exempted the
1000, 900 in one supposed case, and
all like It, and lets the corporation
oil with an assessment of only
three-tenths of its property. This
is nothing short Of an outrage to
other taxpayers who are assessed
for all they own at full cash value.
