WILL ASSESS PUBLIC
UTILITY CORPORATIONS
BLANKS BEING PREPARED BY
TAX COMMISSION FOR
THIS PURPOSE.

Little Rock, April 25.-The Arkan-
sas Tax Commission is preparing a
blank to be sent out to the public util-
lty corporations, upon which to enter
their assessable property, which will
give the corporation heads a thrill the
moment they lay hands upon it.
The last legislature made some
changes in the laws governing the
payment of taxes by the corporations,
especially those of public utilities.
The new law requires the companies
to file everything of value, or which
has an earning power, and tangible
and intangible assets are included.
The corporation must pay upon its
franchise granted to operate in city,
as that is an earning power, and the
value of it is needed to reach the total
value of the concern, and the state
tax will be collected upon the full
amount.
At the end of the blank will be a
line to be filled by notary public,
showing the corporation head is ex-
pected to hand the list back with a
sworn statement as to the truth of
the values given.
