The Listing Syste m.

we publish elsewhere two important con-
tributions on the tax question. They both
bear upon the listing system which is now
pending before the legislature One is from
Chief Justice Peters and the other from
Judge Walton. Both of these gentlemen
think that this listing system is destined to
work more harm than good, and both CT
them are opposed to it. Flies are likely to
be caught by it while wasps and hornets
are likely to get through. Judge Peters
points out the gross injustice that will result
If money at interest-that is money inyes ted
In Understanding securities-is taxed to its
full value, and at the same rate as real es-
tate. Bonds, such as guardians of trust
funds are compelled to invest in, on an aver
age, lpay less than four per cent The rate
OF taxation in Maine cities is, on
the average, as high as two.
Ii these bonds are taxed for their
full value and at the full rate there
would be left less than two per cent, that is
more than half the income would be taken
for taxation. There is many an aged man or
woman in the community whom this law
that 1t is proposed to put in force in this state
would compel to choose between beggary and
perjury.
Say the West Virginia tax commissioners
speaking OF similar law: "Widows and
orphans are taxed to the full value of their
property, but the shrewd traders escape

the law has had any enforcement so that the
people have been able to see what 1t is. No
such inquisitorial system was ever enforced

requires that once year every man in the
