that he will be Obliged to pay less for

that up to a certain point these two
tendencies will counteract each other,
for the lower the rate of interest the
higher will be the valuation of land.
But the balance will most certainly be

before the county clerk in a southern

sobered instantly.

nantly. You're overchawgin'--hit

PERSONAL PROPERTY
Complaint Because II Does Not Pay
It's Share Of Taxes.

Complaint Because II Does Not Pay
It's Share Of Taxes.
There has been much complaint Of
late because personal property, es-
pecially intangible property, does not
pay its fair share Of public taxes. 1t
is said the homes of working men pay
more in proportion to value than any
other kind of property. The criticism
is not confined to any section Of the
country. The conditions that existed
soon after the century commenced
were in some respects unprecedented.
IL is doubtful II there was ever a
time in the history Of this nation
when the rate of interest on the best
securities was so low as at that time.
This commonwealth could borrow
money at the rate of about two per
cent and the price Of unquestioned Sc
curities was so high that they yielded
the investor but little more than three
cases the payment of tax of $40 on
81 900, which is but little above the
average rate of late in this city, would
reduce the net income on such invest
ments TO a very small figure. 1t is
not strange that those conservative
capitalists who never take risks by in
yesting in securities that are not gilt
edged forgot to inform the assessors
OF the amount Of their holdings and
the practice of concealing intangible
property became very popular and IL
likely to continue So The rates Of in.
terest have advanced within the last
three years and the last legislature
deemed II wise to exempt from tax.
ation the bonds OF the state issued
after Jan. /, 1906, thus following the
precedent established by the United
States soon after the commencement
of the civil war Of exempting govern.
ment bonds from state, county and
municipal taxation.
Some complaint has been made by
real estate owners because the rate OF
taxation of savings bank deposits IL
so low, but 1t is doubtful II the public
realizes as much in proportion from
the taxation Of intangible property
held by private investors as from the
tax on savings bank deposits.
The laws of the commonwealth, as
interpreted by the supreme court in
recent decisions, make It easy for a
citizen to claim a residence where he
spends very little of his time, and
capitalists naturally seek those mu-
inequalities where the lowest tax rates
prevail and where assessors are most
obliging.
Assessors are aware that II they
resort to extreme measures there will
be changes In the legal residence OF
some tax payers and a consequent
shrinkage in the valuation list. There
is undoubtedly much undeserved criti.
cism bestowed on this class OF public
officers by people who do not appreci
ate the difficulties in the way of strict.
ly equitable taxation .-F'itchburg
