cause of the annual franchise tax of 25
cents on each 800 of deposits twithout
any credits or allowances) which is paid
by savings banks. Further, II has not
been imposed upon the holdings of
domestic corporations having invest
meuts in the class, because these are
supposed to be represented in the value
of the shares.
Prior to 1914 tho tax against the
shares of all banks and Maryland cor
porations was at the state rate and full
local rate prevailing at the residences
Of tho shareholders. Under provision
of an act passed in 1914 ordinary busi-
ness corporations pay taxes on real
and tangible personal property like an
individual. and. in addition. an annual
, franchise tax on the amount of out
standing capital. Corporations other
, than ordinary business corporations
will pay the full rate on shares as here
tofore; except. banks, which have now
been put within the 1 per cent bank

porations will pay the tax on their
holdings of this class of property at
the low rate.
Prior to 1904 mortgages were taxed
in Maryland at n rate OF s per cent
per annum on the interest covenanted
by the mortgage to be paid. Tho act
has been repealed in all but four coun-

IT is not to be considered that the

close study OF the Maryland, law, IN

clusions may be drawn:
That a classified property tax at q

hope for the successful taxation of In
tangible personal property.
That a fair law can be successfully

Conclusions Concerning the Mary
land Low Rate on Intangibles.

ID AS compared with the Old
broken-down general property tax the
Maryland plan represents an unquaIi-
fed Improvement
CD However. Maryland's experience
indicates that even a rate as low as
tnree mills cannot be collected under
decentralized administration. The local
assessors cannot be depended upon, un-
less closely supervised or controlled by
centralized body
CD 1t can be enforced with success
IN a city like Baltimore, under a high
type of personnel

porations can be listed where admins
tration is of high type.

that this success was attained under

not been in proportion to the increase

From Taxation of Intangible Per-
sona1 Property in Maryland.
By A. c. Girdwood Of Md. Tax
Commission (1915).

Economists and. students of taxation
and administrators all agree that the
general property tax cannot be imposed
on all kinds of property alike. At
tempts to do so have discredited the
general property tax system through
out the United States.
To impose the same tax on all kinds
of property tends to inequality, saws
the Supreme Court of the United States
in the following language:
"a system which imposes the same
tax upon every species of property fr-
respective of it's nature, condition or
class will be destructive of the prin-
cfple of uniformity and equality in
taxation and of just adaptation Of
property to its burdens" (Pacific Ex
press Company VS.. Siebert, l42 u. s.
351.)
I know of no community in this coun-
try where the general property tax has
been imposed upon money, credits and
Intangible evidences of wealth at the
same rate as on real and tangible per
sonal property, with any degree of sue
cess
The failure to tax this kind of wealth
under the guise of the general property
tax gave force to the two methods
which have been pursued in the states
First: BY means of an income tax and
Second: BY imposing a low uniform
rate or tax upon property within the
class, the rate being fixed with the
view of a reasonable payment out of
the income from the investment.
Each Of these methods has its friends.
