TAxING INVESTMENTS.
Representative w. e. Davis wants to
tax investments with vengeance. The
bill introduced by him to-day is one of
the strongest in that line that has yet
been submitted II includes bank ks,
railroad stocks, insurance stocks, stocks
in trust or deposit companies, all bonds,
mortgages aud credits Of acknowledge
ments of Indebtedness bearing interest.
These are all 10 be taxed at their par
value and at the same rate as real estate.
If the holder of these securities, however.
makes affidavit that he is receiving no
benefit from these securities or that the
debtor is insolvent he is exempted from
all taxes. Should the assessor believe
that the person holding the securities is
receiving benefit from them he will put
him ON the list and the holder must ap
peal TO the Levy Court. Taxes are only
be levied on encumbered real estate above
the amount Of the circumference. The as
SCISSORS are given power TO call on
officers Of corporations for full and true
lists of their stockholders, with the
number and par value of their shares.
Prothonotaries, recorders, clerks Of the
orphans courts and registrars in chan
Gerry are compelled TO furnish to the as
SCISSORS, certified lists -of judgments,
mortgages and recognizances Any false
return or false swearing is to be punished
by fine from $50 to 800 or from one to
two months imprisonment The bill also
applies to investments outside Of the
state.
NOTES
Governor Biggs appointed Joseph L.
Cavender notary public to day in place of
Thomas r. Lally. He also reappointed
John @ Gooden state librarian. The last
appointment is one that oommends itself
on account of the excellent manner
in which Mr.. Gooden has performed his
duties II is customary to give person
four years in this position.

National Guard reelected Lieutenant
Armon d. Chaytor quartermaster Of the
First Regiment at the meeting of the
