HALlANAN SUGGESTS
TAX ACT TO REACH
Invisible WEALTH
Constitutional Amendment To
Cure Inequalities Urged.

Ghrlesten, Sept 2o.-The day is
not far distant when West Virgin.
AS invisible wealth will be paying
its proportionate share of all taxes,
in the opinion OF Walter S. Halla-
nan, State Tax Commissioner.
In a statement issued here to-
day, Mr. HalIanan declared that
until such time as all property is
properly classified for taxation
purposes, the visible property in
the State will continue to shoulder
the taxation burdens, as, it has been
doing for many years. 1t is for the
purpose Of correcting this Unequal
ity that Mr.. Hallanan will ask the
legislature to submit to the voters
a proposed constitutional amend
ment, requiring that property of
every description he listed for sur.
vey of the assessors, as taxable as
sets.
Figures on file in Mr.. Hallanan s
office show that rates Of taxation
on tangible property have been
pyramiding with each succeeding
year, to supply revenues for every
conceivable kind Of public i'm
proyement Such tax. increases
have made homes, farms, building
lots and other property OF that
character less and less desirable
for investment purposes and the
tendency has been to withdraw
capital from these classes of in
vestment and transfer it to intansi.
BILE properly, where it's taxation liza
bility is practically negligible
Meanwhile, community develop
ment has received a severe blow.
Rich Can Escape.
Mr.. tallanan's statement allows
the Innocence to be drawn that the
rich man can escape paving a just
share Of taxes if he so wills, while
the man who lacks wealth pays ex-
cessively toward the cost of local
government.
Under present day conditions"
said Mr.. Hallanan, the man of
great wealth is able to place his
riches, in very great measure, be-
yond the realm of taxability, by
reason of his opportunities to IN
vest in nontaxable securities. Thus
does invisible wealth lessen year
after year. while the tax burdens
continue to pile up on people of

The will of Mrs. Mary. r Smith,

one of the lengthiest ever recorded

smaller means. The man of wealth,
who naturally is more able to pay
taxes than he who does not possess
wealth, can, if he so maneuvers his
investments, almost entihely avoid
payment OF his share Of the COM
monwealth's taxes. On the other
hand. the home, the farm, the store
or any other tangible property
owned by the non-wealthy class,
cannot escape, NOR by its very ma
ture it cannot be hidden.
Would Classify All.
The only way to reach intangi-
bic personal property is by the
classification of all property, and We
need law requiring this"
Items Of personal property which
would be taxed under the proposed
new law include stocks, bonds,
notes, moneys, credits and other
financial transactions and invest
ments.
In his recent annual report to the
governor. the state tax commission
or poined out that "one great
source of complaint against the adj
ministration of our tax laws is that
real estate and tangible personal
proper-f have been called upon to
bear an unjust share of the burden
of taxation for the reason that the
assessment OF personal property is
very small when compared to the
assessment of these other classes.

WHEAT TRADING
NOT IMPROVED;
CORN FOLLOWS
BY Consolidated Press.)


Chicago, May 5.-Trade in wheat
showed no improvement today. The
undertone of the market was heavy
most of the session but some be-
lated short covering caused a little
pressure early on better crop re-
ports and bearish cable advices.
Broomhall's Argentine agent esti-
mates the surplus remaining for
export in that country at "a .000, 600
bushels of wheat, $4,000, 900 was
sold. This exceeds all earlier es-
Inmates. Allan Logan estimates
the wheat crop of Kansas at 1873
100000 bushels. Kansas City and
Omaha told of big shipments of
wheat from there for Chicago and,
it was rumored that a round lot of
number hard sold to go to Chi
cago, shipment to be made so that
arrival will be last of month in
time for track delivery. Vessel
room was chartered for 100000
bushels of wheat was reported
chartered at o'clock to Buffalo.
Receipts are holding up we'll. Mill
ing demand for wheat was quiet
Corn was affected by the trend
of wheat There was some COM
mission house buying early while
cash houses bought July. Local
pressure. some of it for long ac-
count was noted. Some interests
reported good demand for corn
from exporters at outside market
but local shippers were unable to
sell any corn. Warehouse receipts
for 1,005,452 bushels of corn were
registered for cancellation.
Oats were inclined to follow 9TH
er grains. Liquidation in May ap-
pears to be over and that delivery
acts strong on buying by cash in
terests. Minneapolis reports a good
demand for export oats at better
basis than yesterday when sales of
100000 bushels were made. Bet
ter crop reports is causing pressure
on the deferred months.
Provisions were weak. Selling
was inspired by reports Of slow
ing up in the cash demand because
of the recent advance.

Curb Market
BY STUART P. WEST
Copyright. 1877

New York, May 5.-There was
considerable irregularity on the
curb exchange today. While The
delay in the expected advance in
crude oil prices cause profit taking
in some issues, others rose into new
high ground Imperial Oil of
Canada was one of the outstanding
features, advancing to a new high
mark. Merritt Oil and Salt Creek
also made new tops for the pres
ent movement and there was active
buying in some of these issues by
commission houses. The Wyom-
ing Oils, including Salt Greek Con-
solidated and Mountain Products,
were well held.
Profit taking by traders was in
evidence in one of the tSandard
Oils at times and price movements
in this group were irregular. Mex
leo Oil rose sharply following the
announcement of the receipt of ad-
vices from Mexico that the Free
port number three well of the Sin
clair on the San Miguel Hacienda
had come in good for 10000 bar
rels. This well is 400 yards west
of the Mexico company's holdings.
Mexican Seaboard started slightly
lower but rallied later. A ney
group, directed by a prominent
operator is active in this stock.
Renewed interest was taken in
some of the motor issues. Cleve-
land was the leader, advancing sew
eral points on buying by a promi-
nent stock exchange house which
is known to be affiliated with the
management of the company. 1t
was said that the demand followed
advices of excellent earnings and
large orders Durant issues and
Hudson Motors were fract;onally
higher. Short coverings were in
evidence in Radio common by
floor traders and that stock was
slightly higher. Dubilier Radio
held steady. Philip Morris was
firmer and Todd Ship Yards moved
up under small buying orders.
Bonds were quite active and steady.
Chief interest was again displayed
in marlborough SIS which were in
good demand
