CORPORATION BONDS TAX.
Attorney General Light Believes They
 Are Taxable.

Attorney General John H. Light has given Tax Commissioner William H. Corbin an important opinion relative to the taxation of bonds issued by bus mess corporations in the state. The opinion is as follows:
 Tn your favor requesting my opin- ion you say: There seems to be an idea in some parts of the state that bonds issued by business corporations organized under general or special laws are exempt from taxation in this state. Will you kindly at your early convenience give me your opinion rel ative to the taxability of bonds issued by mercantile and manufacturing cor porations in this state?
 "In this state, unlike many of the states, we have no constitutional pro- vision limiting and defining the power of taxation. Hence, an answer to your question must be found in our statutes. Mercantile and manufactur- ing corporations are taxed under sec tions 232S and 2329 of the general stat utes on all of their property in this state, and the stockholders are ex- pressly exempt from assessment of taxation for their stock therein, when the whole property of the corporations is assessed and taxed in the corporate names. And section 2323 provides, among other things. that all notes and bonds, not as issued by the United States belonging to any resident of this state shall be set in his list in the town where he resides at their then actual valuation, except when otherwise provided Here is unmis- takable authority for taxing the bonds of mercantile and manufacturing cor porations in this state.
 Therefore, I am of the opinion that all such bonds are taxable as the property of the persons holding them except when otherwise provided by statute"

From the others from whom no word has been received, 1t is expected that there will be enough to bring the roll well over 100.

Mr. Loomls resided on the west side for some time, but shortly after the war removed to Texas, where he has since made his home
