Certain employees Of one Massachu-

having stolen between fifty and q
hundred thousand dollars. There is
a quite general impression that steal
ing has long been going on somewhere
between the producers and the con-

state assessors expressed in their
finding as to its value, and you take
an appeal, and you arrive in the SUI
preme court to prosecute your ap-
peal; you find when you arrive there
that the provisions of the law nave
shut you out from consideration OF
every possible subject except fraud
and mistake of law, fraud which you
could never prove any way. and ms
take of law which might or might not
be an issue in any given case. Inat
provision for an appeal, Mr.. Chair
man and gentlemen, is one of those
cases "that keep the word of promise

The bill is inconsistent with itseH
in regard to it's provision for regis
tration. Sections / and seem to
make it optional Proponents say
that it is optional as to whether or
not any person shall or shall not reg
ister his holdings. Section speaks
of one who desires to accept the ben
efits of the act may register, etc.
but when you come to Section ii 1t is
a different story. That section pro-
vides that all intangibles which are
not so registered are subject to tax
at the municipal rate, and further
cumulative tax is imposed of as much
as might have been imposed during
very year that the property might
have been registered but the person
owning the property wilfully and
negligently failed to do so.
Now then, if a person under the
provisions of this act has right to
determine whether O. not he will reg
lister, tell me in the name of common
sense how he is willfLl and negligent
if he exercises that option?
Finally the bill provides for the APP
pointment of such assistants as are
necessary to carry out its provisions,
an army of inquisitors, so to speak,
who will prowl about places of bust
ness, ostensibly in search of taxable
property, but really in an attempt to
Justify their existence and draw their
respective salaries. We protest in
the name of our citizens against any
increase in the army of office holders
at our expense, and at any attempt
any SUCH method. If the e. S. Fed
eral Income Tax law, the U. s., In
ternal Revenue Tax laws, the present
state taxes and the present municipal
taxes are not enough, why not re-
turn to the old fashioned ways of
economy in the expenditures of public
money? There is danger-there is
grave danger in the paternalistic
idea that the public can go to the
state treasury for every real or i'm
agined need. We protest against any
such methods of taxation, and we
trust that the committee and the leg
islature will set themselves firmly
against any such methods of opera
ton, methods which, if successful,
will only lead to further eXtrava-
gance,4 and which, if they fail, as I be-
lieve this one would fail, will result
in making the municipalities and the
state poorer than they were before,
by driving every available dollar into
tax exempt securities. / thank you,
gentlemen.
