TRANSPORTATION RECEIPTS
MATERIALLY INCREASED
I'm 1914 the gross transportation re-
ceiptS of railway corporations were
S6o.9S6,o3S, and the franchise tax there
on at the ratio of " per cent yielded
SGS6.e92. II Is Il wcll-known fact that
gross transportation receipts or these
corporations have materially increased.
and II Is confidently expected tho
amount of such receipts which will
como under taxation In 1916 Will equal
$'5.ooe.ooo. and the franchise tan OF
y per cont thereon will yield N.l26.-
600. which will produce an increase In
the revenue OF S4So.9OS"
While 1t Is assumed that the pro-
posed increase IN the franchise tax
Will be bitterly opposed by the railroad
companies. members OF the Finance
Committees OF both houses freely ex-
pressed the belief last night that nm
increase of the kind proposed is al
most inevitable. With opposition to
the increase of tho tax on merchants

In the State revenue for 1917. SO far
rs IL can now be estimated, Will be in
round numbers. 100000. unless the
plan suggested b.: this board is car
ricd out. II Is apparent that IN order
20 raise tho necessary State revenue an
additional tax VIII have to be levied
upon some particular sources OF tax
alton.
The merchants OF this State are al
ready taxed 10 their full capacity I
do not believe that II would be proper
TO increase the tax on bank stock. and.
In my Judgment. X the tax on intan-
gibles Is materially increased. It will
DO impossible TO uncover them The
result is that the only class OF prom
erty left which can be called upon 20
furnish this revenue Is the public ser
vice corporations. In some States.
arr informed. they are taxed very much
higher than In Virginia, and in some
"s'aHces 'ne TAX on their gross earn
inGs is rs much as per cent.
While II Is true that In those States
this tax is largely IN lieu Of all other
taxes, yet even allowing for that, be-
ieve the tax could be raised in Vir-
GINA to ~ per cent. II however,
upon investigation the Finance Commit
tees OF this Legislature think that ~
per cent Is too much. then they can
