IT is estimated that the basis Of
taxation in this State, in round
numbers, is one hundred and fifty
billions of dollars, upon which We
pay Is cents in the 500 to the
State. 1t is also alleged by those
who have studied the question, that
one half the property in the State is
invested in mortgages and in pro-
perty which escape taxation. Then,
if mortgages and other property
were taxed we would have three
hundred billions for taxable basis,
which at cents on the 800, would
yield the same income the State
now receives from direct tax, and
one half the burden that now rests
upon those who pay State taxes
would be taken off-wouldn't it?
