Dissenting Report of Mr.. Merri

With the greater part of the above
report signed by the other members OF
but on the following divisions of the
subject l must beg 10 differ.
First The recommendation for the to-
tai or partial exemption of many kinds
of property, such as stocks, bonds and
money at interest. if secured by real es-
tate mortgage, from taxation which botl
our Constitution and laws have ever
recognized as taxable. 1t is urged that to
assess such classes of property is double
taxation and so inherently wrong Then
why not exempt all stocks. all bonds
money loaned at interest not secured as
we'll as that secured by real estate mort
gage 1t is not proposed to do this ant
yet if one is double taxation, the other
must he equally so.
method of taxing steam and street rail
roads, parlor car, telegraph, telephone
and express companies. The present
method me- hnlis OF leyyns & graduated tax m OF
tended TO encourage their development
and has succeeded. That this system
which has proved so successful which ha
been tested in the courts, and upon whicl
present business conditions are founded
should he abandoned for a new one can
not admit. ANY additional sum that the
public policy to can upon these Public
Service Corporations TO continue, car
easily be obtained under our present law
by simply increasing the rate.
Third. The recommendation to appor-
ton the State tax to the several cities
towns. plantations and unincorporated
townships. in proportion to the value OF
land alone.
The owners CT both classes of property
are able to contribute both receive the
benefit of State Government. and each
owner should contribute in proportion To
the value of its ownership.
l believe that generally the owners of
lard in unincorporated townships are too
lightly taxed in proportion to the owners
Daily Kennebec journal., 1908-12-19

The real estate OF national banks, trust
and banking companies is taxed in the
municipality where ii is located. Real es-
tate is assessed direct to the bank, while
the shares. representing ownership in its
capital stock. are taxed at the local rate
to the shareholder, if n resident of the
State, in the .own where he resides. The
shares of nonresident are taxed in the
town where the bank is located. The
shares in a hank are certainly of the
same value as all other shares in the
same bank and should at least be uni
formly valued throughout the State. 1t

These associations pay a State tax of
one-fourth of per cent. on the capital

gest is the levying of larger tax on

owners of automobiles to register their
machines. and at the time of registration
to pay a small license tec-the registra-
ton remains in force until the machine is
sold. We would suggest to the Legisla-
ture the advisabilty of requiring an an
nual graduated license fec. based upon
amount SO collected to be added to the
so-caled State road fund" 1t must be
conceded that the larger the machine the
greater is the injury to the highways, and
nual license fee is to be eXacted the own
er Of H-horseEower touring car should
paw more for the use of the road than
the owner of light runabout.
The existing special provisions appli-
cable to dealers should be revised to cor
respond with the foregoing recommend
ationS.
Water Powers.
The taxation of water powers should be
carefully and thoughtfully considered by
the Legislature. We have not sufficient
udtd 10 I,dke Il recommendation on this
subject We would suggest however
the adyisalility of levying annually a
special State tax on each developed horse
power and of expending the amount so
received in the execution of broad
general scheme of scientific storage Of
these waters and the regulation of their
flow. 1900
Reduction Of the Direct State Tax.
Should the Legislature adopt our rec
oLnendatlons for raising State revenue,
the taxpayers in the cities ana towns
Wi. be benefited the additional amount
to he assessed against wild lands. and ali
taxpayers will be equally benefited bv
the additional revenue to be received
from indirect taxation. The increased
amount to be assessed on public service
rate fixed by the Legislature An in
crease of s2o0,oO0 would seem to be an
conservative estimate The inherit ! !
anSe asoS ood tax ought to yield an increase of
national banks. $4,000: the tax on insur- |
ance companies, s5O,GoO: the automobile
tax $4,000; making a total increase of |
revenue from indirect taxation of $50 |
GOO. which with the additional amount to
be assessed on wild lands should reduce
by at least one-half the present aggre.
