higher than is collected on the aver
age by any civilized country on earth.
TO this burden in the American states
are added the indirect taxes collected
by the Federal government.
II Is safe to say that upon no other
class of properly in this state does the
burden of taxation fall so heavily as
upon the intangibles that are set in
the list, and il is equally safe to say
that the attempt TO so tax this kind
lof property at such rates will always
result in evasions or will drive the
property. or its owner. or both. out OF
the state In other words no taxpay-
er can afford to contribute this proper
tion OF his income to the government
and but few ever have or ever will so
contribute. if by any possible means
they can avoid it,
The effect of this law is that the
relatively small amount of intangible
property taxed is largely in the nature
of trust funds, funds belonging to per
sons of limited means. widows. or
phans and the conscientious taxpay
ers, who are unable or unwilling tc
take the measures necessary to es
cape the payment of this tax.
Statistics show that intangibles
generally escape taxation The fol
lowing figures taken from the repor
lof the Massachusetts commission, ar,
compiled from the United States
Census Reports. In 1850 real prope
ty subject to taxation in all the states
was assessed at $3S99 900 900; ant
the personal property at s2125.000
600; in 1902 the real estate wa
assessed at $26,415,0 100000; and tn,
personal property at $S,923,000, 900
Thus it appears that during thi
period the assessed value OF real es
tate increased almost seven fold an
personal property a little less thai
, four fold. Can there be any doub
that the assessable value of persona
property increased in the same perio
in a proportion equal TO- If not great
