NesO Yor1s Sun Special Sesvios
Albany. N. Y, Jan. S.-Prohibitive tax
legislation against foreign corporations
doing business in this state was in
troduced today by Senator Krnr and AS
semblyman Morgan, chairmen Of the tax
alton committees. in their respective
houses. There were two bills, and they
carry out the recommendations made by
Governor Odell, in his annual message to
the legislature
zsz While taxation is the main feature of
this proposed legislation, It's purpose is
not one of revenue. These bills are in
troduced. with view of compelling big
combinations of capital now incorporated
In other states, and which transact most
of their business inthis state, to either re-
incorporate in this state, or stand the
consequence of generous taxation. It Is
the expectation of the governor, and the
republican leaders in the legislature, that
this legislation will be passed, and that it
will remedy the condition complained Of.
The bills impose. license tax of one
eighth OF one per cent on the capital Of
foreign corporations doing business here.
