tangible and Intangible property.
You will observe that grammatical
ly speaking, the antecedent OF the
word "its" would seem TO be real
and personal property" and not the
Intangible classes named. The leg
islature, however, has treated THIS
subject as II all property, tangible
and intangible, must be assessed ac-
cording to its true value In money,
and II might be, and probably would
be, that the supreme court, we're the
question now before II, would say
that Il had already been given a leg
islative construction and be govern
ed accordingly.
When the constitution OF 1851 was
adopted, we were almost exclusively
an agricultural community. Then
there was but very little intangible
property, and II does not seem TO
have received az the hands OF the
constitutional convention the consid-
Grafton II should have received. or
would now receive. II one were to be
now called, II is well in theory to

rlaims he paid as excessive interest

ceeding generations. | do not think
they wrought well for themselves,
and they certainly have not for us.
In this day of corporations, private
and quasi public, when great fran
chises are being given away for the
asking, II is well for us to pause and
take thought for the morrow, as
well as for the present. We are
better able to determine, and the
general assembly is better able to
determine, what Is necessary and
suitable to our present condition
than were our fathers of two gem
erations ago. Some method should
be adopted which will distribute the
burdens of taxation more equitably.
One only needs to refer TO the re-
ports of the auditor of state to con-
vince himself as to the unsatisfactory
character OF our present tax legisla-
tion. II was bad in its conception;
1t is worse in its administration.
We must remember that in the ad-
ministration of our tax laws real
estate does not and cannot escape the
attention of the officer. Some tangi-
bic personal property does and can
escape. All intangible property can
escape and most of II does escape.
Under the present constitution the
hands of the legislature ARE tied.
There should. in my judgment. be
some amendment which will leave IL
free TO act in accordance with the
demands of our present environment.
II is unfair that one man should have
real estate and pay tax upon all of
it; that another man should have
tangible personal property and pay
taxes on perhaps a part OF Il; and
that another man should have only
intangible property and perhaps pay
taxes on none of 1t.
