 An Important Decision.
 SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-In dccid- ing ihe case Ot Burke vs the A~se, sDr, on R question taxing ceruGcatos e; stock, to-day, Justice Ross, m driiy- eriug his opiI iOE, held that the con- siIIullOn of tAe otJte does not ItQuife ui authOrIze COuble taXaIIOn. Ca the c Ltrary, it's language clearly iOTbids IL. Sock oi any corporation cOnsisls of it's franchise and such other prop erly as the corporation may own. When, thIrefOre, all ihe Trupt-.y Of corporation is assessed, Its iTanCLi,e and hll ul iis other property of every character, then all the stock of he corporation Is assessed, and The maa- date of constitution is complied with. This is held by a corporation in trust for stockholders whO are beneficial owners of It Tn certain proportions called shares, and which are usually evid, need by certificates of stock. The share oi each stOckholdcr Is un- doubtedly property, but it is an inter- esI Tn the very property held by the cOrpOratiOn-nOthiDg more. When pIoperty of a corporation Is assessed to It and the tax thereon paid, who but stockholders pay il? IL is true that it is pad from the treasury of the corporation before the money theTeIn Is divided; but it Is substantially the same thing as if paid from the pock- cts of individual stockholders. Jus tlces SharpSteiu, Mckee, Thornton and NckinsIry concur in the decis- lon. Chief Justice Morrison cOLCurs 90 far as the opinion relates to savings bank deposits, expressing no opinion on the taxation Of certi tcates of stock. Justice Myrick cOncurs except as lO the assessment of savings bank de- po>lts, on which subject he expresses no opinion. In business circles the decision gives great satisfaction and is considered to have important bear ing on the interests of she State.
