OPINION ON BILL TO TAX
 CORPORATIONS

Hartford, May 20-The legislative committee on finance yesterday report ed favorably a, bill to tax gross earn ings of express companies doing an ex- press business on the steam and cleo tric railroad and on street railways of the state and other companies doing business as telegraph, cable or tele- phone companies, every dining sleep ing, chair car and parIor car. company and every refrigerator, oil. stock, fruit and other car company doing business on the railroads in the State. The tax on express co. apanies. as proposed, would be percent, upon te1egrap ph, cable and ear companies percent and on telephone companies percent of the gross earnings.
 The committee has received from At torney General Light an opinion as to the legality and objection, if any, which might be made, to a bill which proposed tax on certain corporations which tax was to be in the nature of a license fee upon their right to do business. At the end of a long discus sion, Attorney General Light says:
 T am of the opinion that a license fee may be imposed upon any foreign corporation for the privilege of exer- >cising it's corporate rights of carrying on its business in this state. On the other hand, it is expressly provided by statute that every domestic corpor- alton which has paid a franchise tax shall not be required to pay any ad- ditional franchise tax. This exemption constitutes a contract protected by the federal constitution and therefore is irreVocable.
 Aside from the franchise, the Iegis- lature may still find three elements of taxable value in every corporation, namely, capital stock in the hands of the corporation, corporate property, a nd in ha in ho han dS of individual stockholders
 The attorney general, reviewing the bill, said that section 1 proposed to impose 8 license fee of 1-2O of one percent on every foreign corporation excepting banks, insurance companies and so forth, for the privilege of exer- cieing it's corporate franchise. Sec tion would impose a license fee of 1-18 percent on every corpor ation, stock company or association which is not required to pay a direct tax to the State, except those excepted by law from taxation for the privilege of do- ing business.
 Section 8 would provide for annual returns Of all corporations liable to pay this license fee. The attorney general said the constitution of this State does not impose any express linn itation upon the power of the legisla- ture but authorized the imposition of taxes and the only provision in the constitution of the United States if any which imposes any limitation up- on the legislation covered by the pres ent statute is that contained in sec ton 10, Of article 1 forbidding any state to pass law impairing the ob- general then discusses the features of the proposed law and gives a large number of citations and liberal quota tions from existing tax laws.

HAS RIGHT TO EXAMINE
 BOOKS OF BANK

. Hartford, May 21-A decision of inn portance in corporation circles was filed by Judge Marcus H. Holcomb in the Superior. court, yesterday, in which he upholds the right of Albert F. Costello, of this city, broker, to examine the books of the diddIesex Banking Company. of N1iddletown, of which he is a stockholder, to secure the. list of stockholders, their ad- dresses, etc. Mir Costello says he holds 63 shares of the stock4 The banking company denied him the per mission and he took the matter into court In it's reply to his action, the company set up that Costello desired the list for improper and speculative purposes to the detriment of the cor poration.
 Judge Ho1comb dismisses this view. saving that MT. Costello must be view ed only as a stockholder with rights in the corporation

NATIONAL HEADS OF OLD PARTIES
 BUMP TOGETHER

Washington, May A-James B. Key holds, secretary of the Republican na- tional committee arrived in town, Tuesday, to prepare for meeting of the executive committee on Saturday. At that time the political situation, espe- ciaIIy with reference to the congress siona1 campaign, will be canvassed carefully. The Republican congres- sional committee, it is believed, will be organized early next month and it is expected that both committees will work in harmony.
 One of the first men whom MT. Key holds met was Tom Pence, in charge of the Democratic national organ1za- tion headquarters. The two are old friends, although political opponents.
 Hello" said Pence in greeting. where's your office?' Under my hat snapped Reynolds.
 It developed that the Republicans have not yet made arrangements for headquarters here.
