were positive in their assurance that
these bills could not be passed this year
and declared that a very large majority
of the people demanded hilh license.
The members of the Senate and Assem-

not be made laws, but they positively re-
fused to introduce them.

other hope was left to have the law re-

was taken and it was determined not to
discharge the committee by a vote 6 to ).

best form the compliment would take

seems to us to come very near being
impracticable. 1t certainly involves
enormous clerical facilities and vast
expense. But that we might be
suspected of Interested motives, we
should suggest that newspaper adver-
tisement was the most feasible way to
reach the desired end.
In its general intent the bill is
good. Its purpose is excellent and
the general outline Of the plan ought
to stand. But we think it might well
be amended in the interest of sim
plicity, and we think it highly desir-
able to eliminate from it, eve at the
risk of some annual loss of revenue,
those phases which must operate to
drive capital out of the State.

The New Tax Bill.

~
We present today to our readers the
first thorough synopsis of the new
tax bill which has been published in
the State. 1t has been prepared with
great pains, and while reducing the
text to about one third of it's original
compass, we believe preserves every
essential feature.
Those portions which deal with
the new scheme of assessment.
those which confer new and unusual
powers are given with particular full
ness. Those which describe merely
formal proceedings in the courts being
of secondary Importance and lying
besides along ordinary lines of legal
process, are closely condensed.
We believe the provisions of the bill
thus brought for the first time to the
knowledge of the public, will fill the
entire State with amazement. We.
will go further. We believe no small
alarm will be created among conserv-
alive people by the radical character
of the proposed enactments.
One of the most startling PROPOSE
tlons is that which places securi-
ties upon a similar basis to real
estate in respect to taxation liens.
II the bill is passed, it would seem,
not a share of stock can be safely
bought without a regular search in
the public offices to establish the
sellers power to transfer it free of lien
for taxation. As to borrowing money
on securities, it would seem to be
made a practical impossibility, for
the lender of the money should not
only see that the borrower had paid
his taxes before offering the collateral,
but should also take care that he
paid his taxes regularly SO long as the
debt remained unpaid. Otherwise
the collateral might, as we understand
it, be wiped out for the tax debt of
the borrower, and the lender would
have neither remedy nor
Again, if we do not misconceive, the
corporation clauses of the law call for
the taxation of property twice over.
First of all, holders of shares in a
company must pay taxes on them as
part of their personal estate. Then
the company must pay taxes on all its
property. In other words the capital
stock in the hands of individuals is
taxed as shares, and in the hands
Of the company is taxed as
machinery or real estate, or what not?
Perhaps the projecto RS Of the law in
tend that capital stock shall be
treated by assessors as a recorded LA
bility. This would, of course, make
everything fair and square on this
head; but. if such is the intent, there
ought TO be a clear declaration of it
in the statute itself in the clause on
corporations.
The inquisitoriel powers conferred
are broad and sweeping. Perhaps
this may be well. We do not care to
express an opinion without further
examination.
The bill still contains many evil
dences OF haste in preparation. Some
of these are noted in our synopsis.
Others Of a less marked degree have
been passed over. One very doubtful
requirement is that which obliges the
Collector to send personal notice to
every resident of the falling due of
the tax, with a brief description of
the property on account of which he
is Liable. La a city like this,
with tens Of thousands Of
taxpayers and hundreds Of thousands
Of parcels Of taxable property. this
