Views of the Commissioners.

The report follows:
THE proposed legislation is apparently
designed to provide for raising additional
and needed revenue, and to equalize the
methods of taxation of personal property
in the District of Columbia
Concerning the first object. 1t is diff
cult to estimate just the amount that can
be raised by adding a tax on intangible
property. The amount cannot be large,
but the Commissioners believe that the
income which this measure would add
could with more ease and surety be raised
by the equalization of real estate taxes
which is now being made. and which will
result In a material increase in the rev.
enues
with respect to the purpose of equali-
zatiOn. it is the testimony Of experience
that tax on intangible property tends to
inequality in taxation instead Of fair
ness. and that those who are specially
intended to be taxed are the ones who
escape. All taxes on loans can be and
are easily. shifted to the borrower, with
the result that the mortgager pays on
both the real estate and the mortgage.
The working Of such laws has according
ly been unequal and unjust.

Sweeping Proposition.

LAS a reform it is proposed that per-
sessment rolls and that the personal
property tax be abolished and other
forms of taxation be substituted there
for. BY the confession of all this is a
sweeping proposition and one that public
opinion would be slow to support, yet II
is also quite generally confessed that the
personal property tax has failed and is
failing utterly that 1t no longer has 4
place in IA scientific system of taxation
In report made to Gov. Griggs of
New Jersey in 1897, 1t Is stated that
In New Jersey. as in other states, the
only ones who now pay honest taxes
OF personal property are the estates OF
decedents, widows and orphans, idiots
and lunatics.
Another report from West Virginia
states that as regards paying taxes on
this class of property. 1t Is almost as
voluntary and is considered pretty much
in the same light as donations TO the
neighboring church OF Sunday school,
when the measure now known as the
personal tax law of 1902 was being q s.
cussed the question of "A tax on intan sible
property was considered and the Com
missioners of the District of Columbia, i'm
their report on the measure, said:
The principal objection to "a personal
tax system would arise from the inQuiS =
torial feature of 1t which has obtained
under the law of many Jurisdictions This
bill has been framed with view to
avoid such offensive provisions and is
intended to apply only To property easily
seen and appraised. without recourse to
an unnecessary espionage upon the cit
liens private business affairs. The Com
mssioners would deprecate the inclusion
in this bill of more drastic measures
