Mr.. w. S. Hollands Forum article in

land is perfectly correct in surprising
that no intentional injustice was done

port Mr.. Holland does me an injustice
by incorrectly quoting my language.
I am unable to find in my report some
of the words ascribed to me by him.

stantially correct, and submit the fol-
lowing signed statements by persons
who attended the trial, three OF them

taken notice OF the charge and have
come forward IN defense o. his good
name The defeuse s. that some Of his
securities Werc not taxable shat the rail

properties. II Is asserted that u he also
had paid taxes on these securities he
sould have been double taxed. The Sdoo.

for taxation was not taxed iu any other
way.
No doubt this Is the sort o. a defense
which many rich men set up Ia their
own minds who DO not return al OF then
bonds and stocks FOR taxation. Il is true
Of course that al the railroads are prett,
h. avly taxed. and 80 are al other cor

dOuit such securities ought 10 pay some
thing. but not as much as Is psld BY the
property which they represent. Railroads
are taxed at about what u would cost 10
build them. Should the bonds on a rail-
road pay che same rate Of taxation as the
road does?
