EXCISE AND PRIVILEGE TAXES.

I would suggest as one of the means of increasing the general revenue of the State the increase of the license tax on liquor dealers, and the levy of a privilege tax upon corporations doing business In the State. This will work no hardship on corporations, and place a part of the taxes where they should be.
 Corporations after procuring their char ter pay no annual tax for the privilege they enjoy under their charter. This tax might be levied on a percent basis upon the cap ital stock or by the levy of a direct sum so apportioned as to be uniform in Its oper- ations.
