The law must not only be correct in theab«tra<-t; it mu<t work well in the con-crete. Experience shows th»t certainclasses or symbols of property which intheory ought to be taxed cannot underthe present practice be reached. Somekinds of taxes are s* fertile in temptingto perjury and sharp dealing that theyamount to taxes on honesty, the lastquality on which we should impose aneedless burden. Moreover, where theconditions and complexity <>f Hf<widely as between diff<the desirability and potaxes may seem or be so different that itm hard to devise a common system thatwill work. If possible, the state taxshould be levied cm chrKses of propertyand in a nnmner which will render it col-lectible with entire fairness in ail sec-tions of the '••immunity—as. for instance,the corporation or collateral inheritancetax is now c,.«j1t.cted.

The last legislature placed onthe stariit" book a law requiring them tobe treated as real estate for the purpose*of 'fixation, the tax to be assessed andcollected by the slal<_» jt^sessors for thebenefit of the localities concerned. Thismarks an immense stride in advance.There will doubtless have to be-addition-al legislation from lime to time to perfectthe system as its shortcomings are madeevident in actual practice.
