may reduce its rate accordingly.
The reason assigned for laying
the low rate on intangibles, was
the belief that the low rate
would tend to equa]ize the bur-
dens of taxation between the
holder of notes and bonds, and
the owner of real estate ard
tangible personal property. it
being though. unfair to tax a
note at its full value of 100 cents
on the dollar. and real estate and
tangible personal property at
one-third to one-half of their
true value. It is further believed
that this low rate Of IS cents to
the state and a possible 80 cents
to the cities or counties and sub
ordinate divisions, would result
in large increase of such paper
appearing for taxation that the
manifest fairness and liberality
shown to the holder of notes and
bonds would leave him no reason
! not to disclose fully his securi-
ties for purposes of taxation.

not be at all profitable or advis.
able to withhold them from taxa.

Mention should be made of the
fact that local board of re view.
