TAX REFORM REPORT
LOST, BOBS UP AGAIN
Davenport Plea for Radical Re-
vision Vanished in Final
Rush at Albany.
Special Dispatch TO THE Nrw YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, March 81. I


New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, March 81.
Radical revision OF the States entire
taxing system was proposed TO the
Legislature in report presented by the
Davenport Committee the last day OF
the season and lost in the shuttle of adj
journment. 1t came TO light to-day and
will form the basis for the States new
taxation policies which are to be worked
out this year.
1T is evident that many far reaching
changes must be made before the State
can be said toshave a consistent, well
balanced. equitable and adequate system
of taxation" the report says. THE
cities, for example. are wasting large
sums through unbusiness like methods
Of purchasing. as few have established
central purchasing offices.
1T has been revealed that there are
many evasions of tho personal income
tax. particularly among persons whose
income is close to the exemption limit.
To prevent evasion the committee rec
ommends that a retrrn of income be re-
quired of every resident Of the state
above the age of ri, and that in cases
where the income is too small to be sub
ject to tax fee or minimum income
tax of 81 be imposed.
There is no reason why uniform
business income tax should not apply
10 all insurance companies Of the nom
mutual type"
indicating tendency toward tighten
ing the burden OF taxation resting on
public service corporations, the report
continues
The present taxes on public utilities
are complicated hodge-podse, which
are the despair OF the taxpayers and
an occasion for amazement and scorn Of
students of taxation generally. There
exists scandalous inequality ami dis
graceful discrimination New Yorks
taxation of public utilities CORPORATIONS
is not unified system base on any
recognized principle but has grown up
piecemeai and violates all sound taxa
tion. This is notably true of the special
franchise tax. Arbitrariness as the re-
suit of uncertainty, as has been shown
by the special franchise tax, the general
franchise tax on steam railroads and
certain other transportation corpora
tions and on telephone AMI telegraph
companies. Is a case In point"
The proposals made by tho comattee
cannot be carried out until the next
session Of the Legislature, and in the
meantime tho Davenport COMMITTEES vii
continue its Investigation Of taScs.

jury in the superior court here
today on an information charging
him with the murder of his moth

during the course of which Mrs.
Studer fell or was pushed from the
