lodging that is travesty on a self
respecting people.
Defects of Taxation System.
In my opinion, there are several in
herent defects in our system of tax
alton that need correction and careful
consideration at the hands of the gen.
eral assembly:
First: The constitutional provisions
governing taxation, which practically
prevents the classification of property
as it should be between realty, tan
gible personally, and intangible per-
sonalty, restrictions that can only be
removed by constitutional amend
ment or new constitutional conven-
ton.
The time honored experience of the
federal government and of every state
in the union is to the effect that, I'M
der rule of uniformity, personally,
especially of an intangible character,
like stocks and bonds, goes in hiding
and is not and frequently cannot be
reached by the assessors. Statistics
show that not more than 10 per cent
of the real value of intangible person
atty is listed because of the transi-
tory character of such property, and
that classification of property and
segregation of the sources of revenue
are absolutely necessary to properly
reach it. There is no greater Unequal
ity than the equal treatment of un-
