BAKER AND BAILEY.
Working to Secure a Place For SEN
ator Fulton's Daughter.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 15.-Inquiry
at the Indian office discIoses the fact
that the stories recently published to
the effect that Miss Margaret Fulton,
daughter of Senator Fulton, of Brown
county, had been appointed to a posi-
tion in the Indian service through the
influence Of Congressman Curtis are
erroneous.
Nearly a year ago Miss Fulton was
appointed superintendent of the Kick
apoO Indian school in Oklahoma Ter
ritory without first taking the civil SER
vice examination. This fact was dis
covered by member of the senate
who was also hunting a place for one
of his constituents, and he raised such
q howl about it that Miss Fulton was
dropped. Since that time Senator Ba-
ker and Representative Bailey have
been trying to secure her appointment
to another position in the Indian ser
vice, and have hopes that they will
succeed in the near future.

been cut into the beach, opening up the

bonds of domestic corporations 1s very
similar in Its essentials to the tax on
mortgages proposed by the lately de-
ceased Ssyers tax bill. Practically the
proposal to tax mortgages without al
lowing q reduction of the real estate
assessment to the amount covered by
mortgage wouldO result in actually
dou bling the tax on the land, for the
borrower would pay the tax on the
mortgage ultimately and also on the
land covered by thel.mortgsge. So
with the bonds .of domestic corpora
lions. These practically represent an
interest in the property bonded. But
this interest pays one tax when the
property itself is taxed, aud it is clear
that for thei.holders of the bonds to
pay another tax wo, Id be doubling
the tax on a single piece of property.
To take q concrete instance, suppose
Jones contributes,SsO,0 600 towards the
construction of q 100000 factory and
receives bonds secured by mortgage.
The tax assessor comes along and as
sesses the factory property, against
the corporation downing" it, at $780,
600. Hesthen. goes to Jones and as
sesses another tax against the $50, 900
worth of bonds that he holds. 1t ts ap-
parent that this constitutes double
taxation, for it is the same $50, 600 that
is taxed in.both instances, the real in
vestment having been made, not in the
bonds, but 10 the factory.
This instsr CO. aindicates clearly the
true method that should be observed
in taxing corporations. The corpora
tion itself should bear the full tax and
adjust the incidence OF the tax in ma
tural manner through Its own chan
nels: the taxation of such go called per-
sonal property as bonds, mortgages,
and notes should be absolutely abolish
ed as impractical and illogical.
The result would be to lower interest
rates and simplify the whole question
Of taxation.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The California supr-me court has
rendered decision that will doubtless
affect the tax revenue of many states
The decision was briefly stated in the
HERALD several days ago. The Ger
mania Trust company of San Francis.
CD held bonds of the North Pacific
Railway company, corporation owned
and operated wholly in California.
The taxes on those bonds were paid IN
der protest Cby the trust company
which began suit for tie recovery OF
the money, On the ground that the as
sessment was invalid. In the superior
court the assessor wop.
The supreme court however decides
that the bonds of railways and other
quasi public corpor ations carrot be as
sessed for the purpose:of taxation. By
the decision the city is deprived of
taxes on bonds amounting to over $40,
600, 900.
The court holds. with only one dis
sentipg Judge, that ''to assess and tax
the obligation: again to the holder
thereof, as II 1t we're an unsecured
credit, would be to tax the same pro-
perty twice. For since the secured OBJ
legation is for the purpose OF assess
ment and taxation to be dee med and
treated asian interest in the property
affected, Fit cannot be taxed except az
such interest. Double taxation may
consist In requiring . double contri-
button to the same tax on account of
the came property, even though the
assessment are to different persons"
The decision affects ooly domestic
corporations, and is based on the con :
tention that the property on which the
bonds are issued is already assessed
at its full vslua ton in the state and to
assess the bonds would amount to dou-
BILE taxation.
The Sacramento Bee, in discussing
the decision, says:
In order that all Dor DIS of this charac-
ter may be compelled to bear til cir
proper share of taxation, like other
persousl property, the sooner such
amendment is had til better. The
people of this state certainly have no
wish to let bondholders escape taxa
ton.
This IS avery false view to take OF
the situation and is of the same sort as
the senseless discussion In certain
Texas newspapers that has done go
much to injure the credit and good
name of this state in the minds of CAPT.
