CHAPTER XII.
COrDOratiOns.

One of the perplexing problems encoun-
tered by the commission is the taxation
OF corporations. So far as the ordinary
business corporation is concerned, there
is no valid reason why it should mot be
taxed by the same methods which are
applied in the taxation Of the property
of ordinary taxpayers. 1t is, however.
manifest that as sto the corporations hav-
ing a Quasi-public character, such meth
DDS would prove very inadequate.
Many corporations, like railroads, tele-
graph, telephone. express, street car, gas.
and other companies, possess franchises
and privileges Of great value, more or
less monpolistic in character and which
cannot be measured by their visible prop
erty situate within the state. Such prop
erty is intangible and cannot be adequate
ly reached by the assessment of tangible
property. 1t is apparent that the valua-
tion Of Intangible property will always
be difficult and unsatisfactory. This
arises, not only from the nature of the
property itself, but also from the fact
that many large and wealthy companies
carry on a business extending over a
vast territory and embracing several
sometimes many, states. The practical
difficulties attending their taxation is wit
messed by the great diversity of legisla-
tive measures now In operation in the
various staes Of the union.
While of the opinion that the provisions
Of the bill are the wisest which are per-
Missile in the present state of public
opinion, the commission believes that
with the advancement of ideas upon ths
general subject oi taxation more sclen-

is thereupon made the duty OF the county
auditor upon receiving such lists to pre-
pare and cause to be printed a list of the
names Of the personal property taxpayers
in every township and ward of every city
in his county and mail the same to such
taxpayers.
Each taxpayer will by this means be
early apprised, not only as to his own as
sessment but also as to the assessments
of all the other residents of his township
or word. ell will thus be able to make
comparisons between The assessment Of
his own property and that OF his neigh
bors.s AS the county supervisor of assess
ment is required to visit each township
OF his county, he will thus meet many tax
payers and be appraised of many grew
ances. 1t will be his duty to make inquiry
and 1t is reasonable to believe that
any taxpayer of large personal holdings
will be able to list unchallenged a gross
ly inadequate amount Of such property
This Will be especially true of those en-
gagged in competing enterprises. Every
man. in business who is properly assessed
will naturally insist that his competitor
be treated by the same rule.
The objection, that the tendency Of such
law will be to beget strifes and enmities
In communities was duly considered by
the'commission and deemed Of little force.
1t is far less Objectionable in such respect
W.
1t is an universally admitted fact that the
present assessment Of personal property
is in the highest degree unjust. 1t is so
because it results in the imposition OF
personal taxes mainly upon those of small
holdings and the escape in great measure
of those who are more able to pay them.
1t is so as between classes and individu-
also OF the same class. 1t is SO because
largely Influenced by the personal equa-
ton of the officer and the taxpayer. 1t
S5 so because 1t results in the escape OF
Is per cent of personal property liable to
taxation. -
II a method so thoroughly vicious in it's
operation Is now tolerated by the taxed
public, there is little doubt that it will
soon welcome law whose machinery Is
addressed to exacting from each his due.
The commission does not hope by this
or any other feature Of the bill to wholly
eliminate from taxation the elements of
neglect, prejudice, avarice or dishonesty.
but 1t does hope to thereby greatly lessen
their evil effects.
When the taxpayer of any community
learns that the assessment Of his personal
property is to be scrutin1zed by all his
neighbors, pride, at least, If not a>sense
of danger, will prompt him to be more
fair in listing his property.

The equalization of property, both by

the existing law, is in general features

the state and county boards.

Redemption.
1.-WHEN AND HOW MADE

r 1.-WHEN AND HOW MADE.
Redemption must be made under the
bill within three years. SO carefully have
the provisions of the bill been framed
that few, if any, certificates can be sue
cessfully assailed after that period The
object aimed at has been to make tax
title as good as warranty deed after the
expiration Of the redemption period The
taxpayer who resorts to delaying tactics,
as is common under the present law, or
counts on clearing UP sales, will in either
case find it an Improbable venture.
The manner in which, and the person by
whom, redemption may be made are set
forth in Title Kill; and the payment into
the treasury of the moneys requisite to
redemption will operate in cancelling the
same. Care has been taken to protect the
rights of minors, insane persons and 9TH
ers who from their condition or situat ion.
cannot protect themselves. Several pro-
visions have been added relative to re-
'demption of individual interest, shares
and the like which are wanting in the
present law.
2.-NOTICE.
Many. evils attend redemption from tax
sales under the present law. The law in
this respect should be plain and easy to
follow. The requirement that certifi-
stakeholder shall give personal notice of
the expiration of the exemption period is
wholly unnecessary ana rarely OF practical
value. 1t is not the small land owner who
has most profited by the present law but
the large owner.
The bill requires notice to be given by
the county auditor by publication and pre-
scribes the form of notice. This is as
far as the owner is entitled to protec-
ton. But the bill has elsewhere provided
for his protection that the auditor shall
in every case Of payment of taxes charged
against a tract previously sold, STAMP
across such receipt the words .'sold for
taxes This will be a personal notice
to the taxpayer that his tract is in danger
and that if he wishes to preserve his
rights he must pay his taxes.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-01-10

demand when possible of each delinquent
in the list of the amount charged against
him. He is given the right to distrain in
the enforcement Of such taxes. If he is
unable to collect any tax due from any
person, he will make return accordingly.
In case he has reason to believe that any
delinquent has property beyond his reach,
he will report the fact to the county at
torney who will then be required to in
stitute proper proceedings for the col
lection of the tax therefrom. The au-
ditor is forbidden to credit the treasurer
with any uncollected taxes until the lat
ter S.as made proper return relative
thereto.
The treasurer is required to return to
the auditor on the first Monday of June
the said list with lists thereto attached
of the persons from whom taxes
have not been collected. The au-
ditor will then place the list before
the board of county commissioners and
thereupon the board will proceed to can
eel uncolectible taxes. Within ten days
after such action by the board, the auditor
is required to prepare revised list OF
the names of those remaining on the de-
linquent list and file the same with his
certificate thereto attached in the office OF
the clerk of the district court.
Personal property taxes will be a lie1
for six years from the day when they be-
u
linquent the county and the lien may be
enforced against it.
The commission has sought by it's bill
to correct many evils which now charac-
terize the collection Of personal property
taxes. The existing law has proven q
very costly machinery for the collection
of such taxes. It authorizes suit against
delinquents from which the sheriff has
been unable to collect taxes although
armed with a warrant which authorizes
him to seize and sell the goods and chat

a citation and for issuing the same ant

Philadelphia produced the catfish
habit. For two centuries the animal
was looked as as something which
might be eaten to prevent starvation
until one fine day Il thrifty Quaker
found that the catfish would eat boiled
cornmeal and that this simple food not
only fattencu tho eater. but changed
the color Of its belly from white to
yellow. He perceived the pecuniary
value of the discovery and established
Il catfish farm in which he f2ttened the
fishes which he caught elsewhere and
in due season sold them to the Phila-
delpha markets.
