evidence Of indebtedness may have AZ or

Again, II 70 should bo az1oaSod before COL
lootiblo, pr0misOry note given 10 a bank,
M on a short loan, might In the oaeb OF q
renewal OF said note create q record upon
Aho assoa0r's books OF one or many more
notoo which were simply renewals OF notes
and Tho burden OF taxation repeated a.
often % such note is renewed. thereby Inn
posing a repetition OF taxes ON single
money value.
Again, as your committee views this bill,
Il might properly be termed bill offering o
promium 10 do business outside Of tlie hlato
OF Kansas with the citizens thereof, because
byiAs terms II eEo0pts from aaEation mort
Ragos, notes, bonds and bill, that Arc givoI
by the people OF Kansas 70 ctiscug uf other
statsa 1This, Of course, is necessary, but Il
the eiodbtiOn or our laws bo Chat man
escapes ta1ation by not doing bugibegs In
tho state, thon tho law Itself sby ihi teFms
necessarily imposes q penalty upon . man
10 the amount OF uoh taxes By not being
rosidont and citizen OF the State.
Again the Legislature OF th6 baato OF Kan
sas has from time 10 time limited tho rate
ofintorost that may be charged upon an
evidence of dobt as 10 now stands, 6por
cent. upon accounts and 10 p0r cont. upon
,ooutraCts. To taE a per cent. bearing evil
donCo OF debt az tho rate OF tatop in many
OF tho municipalities Of the state 6f Kansas
would DO TO compel the loaner Of money
who resides In tho state bo pay to tho tax
collector Tho major portion 6i tho earning
power Of his money. Such law 10 eQuiva-
lent 10 driving out OF the state money used
In such way by the citizens thereof.
Your committee, after OarofiS SpnaidoT-
atiOn Of said bill, are of che opinion chat
tho passage thereof would be dotElasntal 70
both the borrowers and lenders Of bhs state,
and therefore recommend ias indoanito
