public service corporations have their
taxable values fixed by the state Tax
Commission. When that body took
hold the gross amount was about
S40,000,000. Now il is upward of n
billion. They pay the same rate as

stockholders In these corporations
who sigh for the old days when the
valuing was done by two or three
county auditors.
This being true, why should indi
giduals owning stocks and bonds and
other forms of valuable personal
property object to having the same
rule applied to them? The corporations
must throw open their books and &C
count for every penny paid them and
every share Of stock held upon which
they receive dividends. The owner
of real estate, not being able to hide
his farm or city LOT in saie-deposlt
box, meets the same inheyible condi
tion. Neither he nor tho corporation
is permitted to return part OF hi'
holdings nor to place a value upor
them.
The constitution provides for the
same tax upon 500 COW and a SLOT
