A Good Bill

Among the number of good bills
passed by the extra session of the leg
islature, House Bills Nos. II and 81
providing for an increase Of corpora
tion license tax stand prominently
in the foreground of constructive leg
islation. The new law created by
these bills places the burden of retir-
ing the $2, 500, 900 bond issue upon the
corporations where 1t justly belongs
and relieves tax ladened people of
a load they could i'll afford to carry.
The bill emanated from the Office of
secretary of state and it required
about three months of steady work on
the part of Secretary James R. No
land and an expert staff to figure out
what would bring results and at the
same time not become a burden to
the corporations. Nearly all the Sec
retaries of State In the United States
assisted in this work by supplying
Mr.. holland with valuable data touch
ing on this phase Of ia xation.
The new law as 1t now sands will
bring into the state treasury in round
number about $3.50, 600 per annum as
against $4,000 under the present law
or enough to pay the interest and re-
tire the bond issue in about eleven
years. The net proceeds accruing
from this tax will be placed in a sep
arate fund to be used in retiring the
war bonds.

Notes From the State Capital

The two corporation license tax
bills proposed and backed up by Jim
nlie holland, secretary of state, prov
ed to be the most popular measure In
troduced In the special session OF the
legislature. They were designed by
$2. 500, 600 war bond issue without as
sessing the taxpayers. Under these
bills both foreign and domestic cor
orations will pay $40 year as a
license tax on a capitalization of not
to exceed 100000. Companies having
a capital stock of more than this sum
will pay straight tax Of lOc per
Thousand. Noland's 3 original measures
called for l5c per Thousand up to
million with $50 additional for each
additional million. The Legislature,
however, seemed to prefer the lower
rate, which is satisfactory inasmuch
as while it will not produce as much
as Noland wanted it will bring q sum
sufficient to pay off the war bonds.
The present law compels corporations
to pay only &c per thousand on their
capitalization. At this &c rate the col
lections have amounted to about $41,-
600 year. Under the law as drawn
and presented by secretary OF state
the collections will amount to about
1920, 600 year.
While the war bonds voted by the
special session will not be available
until September, the Colorado Nation
al Guard nevertheless will enjoy regu-
lar pay days in the interim. Cover
or Gunter. Secretary of State holland,
Treasurer Higgins, Auditor Lecken-
by and Attorney General Hubbard
got together and arranged with var
ious banks to carry 5000, 600 or &4OO, 600
of certificates of Indebtedness, the
banks to be reimbursed rs soon as
money from the war bonds Is at hand.
Thus the soldiers, mobilized for mus
tering into the federal service, have
been paid promptly and in full.
According to the report Of Samuel
J. Lewis, commissioner of public
printing, the printing bills for the spe-
cial session of the legislature will be
the smallest in the history of the
state. The body cOntrived to do its
work with what books, stationery and
blanks were on hand, and the senate
and house journals and session laws
will be very small books, due, of
course, to the briefness of the session.
