Mr. Cushman believes in a law which
would allow an increase in the amount Of
individual deposits Which our state bank
ing institutions might take and pay taxes
upon, and the exemption of such deposits
from local taxation. He says that In case
a law is enacted for increasing the taxes
from RAILROADS the System OF gradual ted
tax regulated by the amount OF gross
earnings per mile in this state is respect
fully recommended in lieu of the optional
feature of az per cent. of gross earnings
Such tax would not impose too heavy
a burden upon the weaker roads whose
state added revenue.
THE American and National Express
companies have refused to pay the tax
imposed upon them by act No. % of 1901
upon the claim that such statute is UNI
constitutional No action has as, yet beer
instituted for the collection of the tax
and the company is daily mourning thC
penalty for not paying the same wnlcf
will II collected amount TO a very large
sum, the penalty being 800 per day. Tn,
matter has been reported to the attorney
general for his consideration and advice.
I'm case the state desires 10 enlarg,
its field of taxation, it is respectfully sug
gested that all public utility corporations
namely electric light and power, gas
water and sewer corporations, may log
ically be included by the state with othe
corporations now taxed and exempte
from local taxation. These corporation
like telephone and telegraph companie
use the public streets and highways an
may be legitimately taxed in the sam
manner"
No direct state tax will have to be lev
led unless extraordinary appropriation
are made.
