The whole of this article IS new, there

matters are required to be provided for
by general laws, of which all persons Will,
be free to avail themselves. The grant

TAXATION AND FINANCE

To understand the advantage of the

of the Committee on Finance and Taxa

ideas and conditions by requiring that

payers; that is, by his ability to con-
tribute to the support of the goveSr-
ment
To accomplish this, it was necessary
to remove the old restriction upon the
Legislature which requires that taxation
shall be equal and uniform. In doing
this it is not intended that taxation shall
not be equal in the true meaning of the
word. but that the way should be left
free for the imposing of taxes euuat
when measured by the ability of the tax
payers.
1t was not, however, thought advisable
to leave the matter entirely to the will
OF the Legislature, so we say taxa ton

of subjects within the territorial limits

the subjects of taxation and to impose
for State and local purposes taxes varying
in rate as between the classes. but uni

AT present a large proportion of the
wealth of the citizen consists of stocks
or bonds of corporations. This species
of property is increasing rapidly under
existing conditions. This property has

to a great extent successfully evaded
all attempts to assess it for taxation.
This is owing to the fact that we have
heretofore, endeavored to reach this
property by taxing the securities in the

difficulty The only remedy that offers
a satisfactory result is the segresat ton
of the subjects of taxation for purposes
of State and local taxation.
Conditions in Virginia will not as yet
admit of this segregation, but we have
provided that it may be done In the
future The change in the method OF
appointing Commissioners of the Reve-
nue.. it is believed. will render them
more independent in the discharge Of
their duties.
These general requirements are, as
stated. for the purpose of securing uni
formity in taxation, and of apportioning
the burdens in proportion to the ability
to pay, and also prevent as far as prac-
ticable double taxation.
There are other provisions of a tenn
porary nature. such as the reduction OF
| the State tax rate from forty cents to
| thirty cents; the prescribing of the
method of taxation o. railroads and
canals, and of taxing banks and trust

was being subjected to double taxation
has contributed to bring about the result
that only the ignorant and extremely
honest return this species of property
thus making the payment of such taxes
a ..burden upon ignorance and honesty
and premium upon fraud and dis
honesty
The new Constitution proposes to
remedy this evil by taxing this property
at the fountain head; that is. in the
hands Of the corporation itself. by i'm
posing upon corporations taxes upon
their property, and in addition franchise
taxes The actual property an th1
franchise constitute the whole of the
value of the corporation property, and
the shares of stock are nothing but certi-
ficates of ownership therein. so we pro-
vide that all the corporation property be-
ing once taxed, the shares OF stock shaii
not be taxed.

ments of property is matter OF more
