Doubling the Stock Tax

The high cost of stock speculation
stands to go higher if the bill reported
in the Assembly at Albany by the tax
committee, amending the tax law by in
creasing from to cents per hundred
shares the tax on transfers of stock is
passed. "The proposal to increase the
tax on stock transfers." said Wall
Street man yesterday, ais a positive
step in the wrong direction and q
dangerous step, because it's deadening
effect at first is imperceptible and only
realized when a-general slowing down
reveals the drying up of funds which
maintain the indispensable condition of
an active securities market, whereon in
vestors may at any time Of need liquidate
their holdings. When stocks are buoyan,
and everybody is making money
the tax Of Sc for every hundred shares
is not seriously felt, but when stocks
become quiet the maintenance of a
market depends upon the trader who
is satisfied to buy and sell on a narrow
market for small profit With the
imposition Of the proposed addition,
the state tax will go long way on the
road to eliminate the very useful, if
not essential, Offices Of the trader,
thereby depriving the security holder
of fair market upon which to liqui-
date" 1t is also pointed out that al
ready the financial center carries
disproportionate part of the state tax
burden.
