Mr. Satterwiiite sail that the bill was simply a bill to legislate out of office the present State Li- brarian because he v.-as a Democrat. He did not care to debate the question. If the Republican party wanted to pass this bill let them do it. : Mr. Baker inquired if the present i-tatc Librarian was not put in by a bill similar to this. y . . y Mr. BATrauwarra said that he did not remember.

Mr. Satterwiiite called for the ayes and noes on' the cn-rrossa-ent of the bill. : \u25a0 Mr. Knos said this bill simply r ut out of office men two yeirs before tbe time of the expiration of their term of office. If itwas shown that these men were Incompetent or derelict in duty he would vote for the bill. The present Librarian had been in tho place through several administrations and no com- plaint could be made against him. * He could see no reason for the p-ssage of this bill except a po- litical reason. This was one of the places that ought not to bo considered party spoils. - Mr. SATTEaHviuTB said that upon consideration he could reply to Mr. Baker that Mr. Cravens was elected at a regular election. Mr. Ciiass could not vote to put a man out of of- fice simply on political grounds. He believed that politics had nothing to do with the State Library.

The section was necessary to maintain the proper dignity and authority of" the Courts. The Judge was the best judge of the contempt. y y ...... \u25a0 i. ! A Mr. Hittell took the same view of the case. Mr. Johnson favored the bill. It was a billto pro- tect personal liberty, to protect the rights of the people and to strike down one of the most iniquitous prerogatives now possessed by the Court. He gave the history of the well-known case of Webb, in Am- ador county, and held that there should be appeals in cases of contempt. This section was a relic cf barbarism and ought to be repealed in the interests cf personal liberty. r , . - : -. •- ~- . y . Mr. Neumann opposed the passage of the bill. This section had been on the statute books for a long time, and it was strange that it should be found to be so bad all at once. In the history of the State this law had never, been abused but twice. The Courts should have the power to punish contempt summarily, and nothing should be done to weaken the power of the Court in this respect Mr. Davis agreed with Mr. Neumann, and held that the judicial department should be held sacred. This bill would take away from the Courts the power to preserve order inthose Courts. '. Ho held that the bill was unconstitutional. \u25a0 y _ r > v, :'- yy Mr. Dickinson again argued against the passage of the bill, elaborating the argument already advanced. He held that the Supreme Court did not have ap- pellate jurisdiction in this case. - - . Mr. fc.vos urged the passage of the bill. It was not to do away with the power of the Court to com- mit for contempt, but it was simply to give a man a right to appeal from the ord. r committing for con- .tempt of Court. He took the same ground as Mr. Johnson, and held that the bill was in the interest of personal liberty. He believed it to be constitu- tional, and that the Legislature had the power to proscribe the appellate jurisdiction of the Courts of the State. The powers of Courts had been abused in more than one or two coses, not only from personal grounds, but on account of political grounds. Mr. Satterwhitx agreed wita Mr. Davis. This hill could only effect appeals from Justices' and Po- lice Courts to the Superior Courts. The Constitu- tion provided the appellate jurisdiction of the Su- preme Court, and the Legislature could uot alter it without amending the Constitution. Mr. Johnson held the bill to be constitutional, and again urged its passage, replying at length to the argua cuts of those on the other side. He did not wish to take away the power of the Courts to punish fir contempt, but when the C urt was wrong the order ought to be reversed on appeal. No matter how old a law was, if it was a bad law it ought to be repealed. ' Let the Suprems Court decide upon the constitutionality of the law. >'- -' ' "\u25a0' Mr. Wendell favored the passage of the bill. Senators were mistaken in supposing that this bill took away the power of Courts to punish for con- tempt. It simply repeals that provision which pro. vides that the judgment of the Court shall be final and conclusive. He held that the Supreme Court could have jurisdiction in such cases. - -' " . Mr. Kane believed in tho right of appeal and repeal. He favored the passage of the; Dill. , He knew of many cases where Courts had decided cases wrongly. . The Judges ought not to be the final arbitrators. - -•\u25a0 -i - - I Mr. Hill favored ' the passage of the bill. He was glad to stand - with the Senator from Sacra- mento, infavor of human liberty and the liberty of the press. : y :- * . .. - . t .

Now, sir, is it not tbe bounden duty of every citizen to willingly bear his shore or proportion of the expense for the enjoy. ment of these grand privileges ; and such share should be paid withpromptitude, and without coercive laws. But I regret to repeat that which is in the knowl- edge of everyone— the spirit of evasion of taxation is almost the rule; and this unpatriotic feeling has gone so far that in years past the assistance of the highest Courts of the land have been invoked to make complete the escapement of taxation. Until now at least one-half the p.operty of the State is un- justly bearing the whole burden of the expense of Government. And the worst feature of this condi- tion of affairs is, that the owners of this one- half are the class of citizens least able to bear the tax— the class which frequently in paying the tax have to deny themselves and their families the comforts of life, and, sometimes, even the necessities of exist- ence. ;„, .o, s„-.y \u25a0 \u25a0;, \u25a0 -.:-.: -\u25a0 ; , -. - _\u25a0 ' IS THIS JUST? Is it strange that people complain when the other half escaping taxation are of a class that to pay their share of tbe burden would uot compel them a de- nial of hardly a luxury? So palpable had this in- justice become, so onerous the unequal burden, that the murmuring of the people was unmistakable and a new Constitution, containing almost an entire rev- enue system, was the result. The people were de- termined that the time hail come when the burden of taxation should be divided between the real estate holder and those who own princely fortunes in bonds, mortgages, stocks, etc. -\u25a0-•• - - - Inthe consideration of ihe question the duty of this body is plainly and unmistakably set forth in the provisions of tho Constitution. There can be no evasion or equivocation: The lines arc clearly cut and well defined. With a full and conscientious conception of this fact, the duties demanded of us have been provided for in the bill submitted by the minority.. On the contrary, the bill submitted by the majority is nothing but a careful, skillful, crafty and shrewd evasion of the requirements of the peo- ple, as expressed in the Constitution.' '\u25a0 , >->'-' j political pledges. , ; ..*.j ;.. .; y To be true to the mandatory provisions of the Constitution was the greatest trust the people placed in this Assembly, and each political party pledged Its candidates to a strict observance of the spirit and letter of the new fundamental law, and I sin- cerely and honestly feci, and say it withall the em- phasis of my manhood, that' I could do no greater violation to those trusts— those duties— than to give my support to a measure which is a plain evasion of the spirit and letter of the Constitution the bill supported by the majority. . From the reports of the State officials for the year 1879, 1 find that the total . amount of property as- sessed in this State that year, from which the rev- enue for the support of the State was derived, was about 8600,000,000, with the property only assessed at about one-half of its full value. By assessing property at its full value the amount of the roll of this State should be nearly one billionof dollars. I also find from the reports that the eighty-four banks of the State have at least $100,000,000 worth of tax able properly, none of which has been returned to the Assessors for years There is at least as much more of the same class of property in the hands of private individuals that has escaped taxation. To show the inequality of taxation, a member of the Constitutional Convention of the State, Mr. Dudley, took the trouble to investigate the question. The result of his labors willbe shown in the debates of December 27th, which was, that while the average taxpayers paid about six per cent on their gross in- comes, four certain corporations of the State only paid a tax of seven mills. - These are the evils we propose to correct, , and when the assessment of the stock of corporal ioi s is taken into cousiderati n, together with the property of the banks and individuals that has eecaped tax- ation, and the .ating of all property at acash value, it must be plain to every one that the assessment roll of the State under such a bid as the minority report sliolll . be double its present amount, and the rate of taxation reduced near!) one-half. Is any one going to be hurt ? . i answer no, sir, for the man who is compelled to do bis duty nnd pay the debt he owes society for the security of his person, bis wealth and happiness, is not hurt only doing under compulsion what he ought to do voluntarily. - ' *' THE taxation OF stocks. The kernel of the whole question is, sha'l we tax tho capital stock of corporations? The Constitution says we shall. T'ne Constitution says the word '• property " besides other things is declared to mean stocks, as well as all other matters aud things, real, personal and mixed, capable of private ownership, and, further, that all prop, shall he taxed. Now what is plainer t an this. How could wo evade this lain duty, even if we desired'; Nevertheless, the committee were urged not to assess the shares of certain corporations, and oven one gentleman went so far as to call on us to pause in our mad ca- reer, and warned us of the terrible result that Would follow, namely: That ' certain cor- porations would disincorporate, and cer- tain capitalists would remove to Sew York, Now, sir, I feel like hurling back the warning, to him and those whose 'ctiliracnts be echoes, and warn them to "beware that they carry not too far their defiance to the willof the people. There can be no greater menace to the woll-being of a country than the encouragement and recognition of an une- qual and discriminating taxation. Because we thai! pass laws compelling a class of citizens to share with us the cost of supporting the Government, these patriotic individuals are going to leave the State. When I bevel this warning I at once sought Hie rev- enue laws of New York, and I found to my aston- ishment that the Code iv that State provides for a more stringent assessment of capital stocks and cor- porations than do-s the law wo propose In fact, I investigated the laws of nearly all the States, and old Missouri was about the only State that bad less stringent laws than we propose, y TIIKV SAY Wi: should not tax Stock". I want to know why in the name of justice a man who has bis capital invested In this class of property, deriving an income which gives him all the luxuries of life, !should bo exempted from taxa- tion, and by what course of reasoning they justify the taxation of the man who has his capital invested in real estate and thel ke, to the extent that he must hear the share of him who owns stocks. The ma- jority say stocks are not property a.d should not be taxed. y I quote the following decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, which I thick is a higher authority than the report \u25a0of the majority: \u25a0 " In the decision of the Delaware Rail- road tax case (18 Wallace 17. S. Supreme Court Reports) it was held and affirmed that the State limy impose taxes upon the corporation as an enti»y existing under its laws, as well as upon ths capital stock of the corporation or its separate corporate pioperty. And tho manner in which its value shall beessesse.l,aadtherateoftaxatlon,howeverarbitrary or capricious, are m^re matters of legislative/ dis- cretion.*' Again: "In the case of Tappan vs. Merchants' National Bank (19 Wallace, Supremo Court Re- ports) the opinion of the Court was that shares of stock in national banks are a species of personal property which is, i.i one sense, intangible and in- corporal, hut the law which creates them may sep- arate them from ' the person of their owner for the purposes of taxation, to give them a si'iir of their own. * * * The State within which a national bank is situated has jurisdiction, for the purpose of taxation, of all the -reboldcrs of the bank, both resident and non-resident, and of all its shares, and may legislate accordingly.'' * ,c And again : "Inthoca'cof Pal I lugtail vs. Ten- nessee (vol. 95 \u25a0 United States Supreme Court Re- ports) the Court held that the capital stock and the shares of capital stock are distinct thing*.' * * * It is" subject to taxation like other property. Tlie shares of capital stock are usually represented by certificates. - Every bolder is a eettui que trust to the extent of his ownership. . The shares are held and may be bought and sold and taxed like other property.- The capital stock and the shares may both be taxed, aud it is not double ' taxation. The bank may be required to pay the tax out of its cor- porate fuues, or be authorized to deduct the amount paid for each stockholder out of hi, dividends. - * . " The capital stock and th1 shares of that stock In the hands cf sloe' holders arc different properties end consequently distinct subjects of taxation. The exemption of the one is cot of itself an exemp- tion of the other, nor is the taxation of the one a tax upon the other."..-. : -. \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0..>. - \u25a0t ; 'i-i'AA'-A TnE bills compared. ; y.:: . .." : He then said it roust be borne in mini that these revenue bills are simply amendments to the section of the present law of the State as found in tho Code. He said the most important difference in the bills was in the first section. The majority c m- mitlee bill says : "No property is subject to double Uxa ion or-to be twice assessed by the same tax, whatever be the manner or form," etc. That reads nice and is fairly captivating, but it is one of the worst features of their bill. \ The cry of double- tax- ation is nothing but a scare-crow, and is only in- dulged in ,by j poor, little, timid . capita!,- and , if you speak of assessing a note, a bold or tbare of stock this creature, trembling in every limb, with horror depicted on all its features, and quaking voice," squeaks out: " Double taxation." < The en- actment of this proposition v.ou'.l practically nullify the whole intent < f the Constitution on revenue, and we would be powerless to reach the majority of that class of property escaping taxa ion ever since ths notorious decision of the Supreme Court. .The mi jority ? are > frank J enough , in - their | report to imply that ' they have - Inierted I this,' as - 1 bey believe that money oncaj taxed to j the - Depositors should not be taxed in the bank even ifloaned. As tbe balk of mortgages held bybanks are acquired by loaning the money of the depositors, howrtrsn could we tax mortrages, credits, etc .".under this provis- ion .' The Constitution says we must tax mortgages to the hold..- thereof, consequently tbo propotei aroeniment comes in plain and direct conflict with the Consi:tirion. 1: loereis another bad feature in this section, th; Eubstuir-o of win. h is that deonsiis are to le assessed to the bank. ; The effect of his is that eg Bullions of dollars from aHaurcr the State are deposited in the banks of the cities, and being taxed "a the bank.the cities would get the taxes properly bo- longingto the counties from which the deposits came. " InSection 2 the majority omitted the following : " The term property Includes moueys, credits, bonds, stocks, dues, franchises, and all other mat- ters and things, real, personal and mixed, capable of private ownership." We inserted itbecause the Constitution defines these things as property that should bo taxed. Now, according to the position taken by the majority, that money once taxed to the depositor could not be taxed again in the bank if leaned or not.' They: must have designedly left itout, for the oanks frequently acquire bonds, Scrip and like credits with the money deposited with them. It would not be . onsisten" for them to include tbe constitutional definition of property in their bill, when they take the position that this kind of property should not be taxed. . \u25a0;•.-.: ;--.. , 'taxation OK mortoaoes. \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0[-•' I InSection 3 the majority provide for the assess- ment of mortgages. This provision was not in the bill originally; but it looked good, and they incor- porated it from ours, overlooking the inconsistency of the provision with other parts of their bill. Hero they provide for the assessment of mortgages, and yet they lay down the opinion in the first section of their bill and ' say in substance that it shall not be done. They here acknowledge the duty and right of the Legislature to assess that part of the money deposited which the bank loined on mort- gages. In - this admissio i they acknowledge the principle to be correct, let declare against it, when they in their report hold that deposits once taxed to the depositor' can not be taxed in the tank, whether loaned or not. By this they acknowledge the right to assess that part of deposits invested in mortgages, but to assess that part of deposits invested incounty script, bonds and credits of that kind is double taxation. Mr. Leach proceeded to demonstrate that the provisions of the minority bill, defining the duties of Assessors were more complete and specific. . ASSESSMENT OF UNSUEVETED LAND. : Section 7 is exactly the same In both bills. It was amended to conform to the requirements of the Constitution providing that land shall be assessed in small tracts, the old section in the Code providing that when he thought it necessary the Assessor could compel the survey of land unsurvcr. d, and that the expense should be included with the taxes. As there are erases where the cost of survey would be more than the value of the land, the committee unanimously thought it best to take the extraor- dinary power out of the hands of the Assessor and place itin the hands of the Superior Court. ' THE IMPORTANT SECTION. '-'• * •~: " Section 3640 is the most important section in our bill. The other side devotes a large part of their report against this section, arguing that itis double taxation. They ' cite authorities, and the whole burden of their argument is that we intend to tax all their property, real, personal, etc., first, and then all of their capital stock. I will guarantee that a boy fifteen years old, after reading that section, will not say that. . There has been a gross misunder- standing, to say the least, on the part of the major- ity, and the misrepresentation has led a number of papers into error. 1will icad the section : "Corpo- rations, associations, and Joint stock companies hav- ing t'ieir principal place of business in this State, shall be assessed with the market value of their cap- ital stock, after deducting therefrom the value of all other property assessed to them, and such capital stock shall not be assessed to the individual owners thereof." That is just as pi. as the words of the English . language can make it. To illustrate : If. the value of . the capital stock is worth no more than all their property, there would be nothing to assess of the capital stock ; and again, if the property of a corporation is worth $:.0,000, and the actual cash value of its capital stock is 175,- --000, there would be only $25,000 to assess. - If there is any double taxation in that proposition, then I am emphatically for that kind of assessment, ti. > •\u25a0'\u25a0 . * .IXI'R.A TICE IN OTHER STATES. I have taken the trouble to examine the revenue laws ol ten or twelve States wilhout discriminati n, and a majority of those commonwealths tax tbe capital stock of corporations in substance on . the same plan as wo have proposed. Iwi 1 read : . Arkansas— ("unit's Arkansas Digest, Section 5047, says the term "investment" means and ii eludes all moneys invested in. all shares of associations,' corporations, joint-stock companies, or otherwise ; also all shares of every company, whether incorpo- rated or not ; and the next section provides that all investments, moneys, credits, bonds, stocks, the property of corporations, shall h> subject to taxa- tion, and there is no deduction from asscssmeßt-'of stock ; and another provision provides thai* this. property must bo assessed .to the individuals ;no deductions are provided for. -.' lowa—Stocks in corporations are assessed and taxed at true cash value. Shares of banking associ- ations are taxed at no greater rate than money. j Maine and shares of corporations in and out of the State are assessed to individuals holding the same iv the State, and deductions are allowed for the capital invested in machinery, goods and real estate. Inassessing railroads deductions are allowed for the track of the rood and land on which it is con- structed. . '."".--• Alabama— Codes of this State provide that stocks are included in personal property, and the capital stocks of corporations are assessed, except so much as is invested in property and taxed otherwise as property. Banks are subject to a regular annual tax of CO c.nts on each $100 of the par value of the stock which is 8100. Railroads are assessed for all their property and their capital stock. - Connecticut -The revised statutes of this State provide that the shares of the capital stock of any bank, trust, insurance, turnpike, bridge or plank road company shall bo assessed to the individual holder, deducting from the actual value of such so much of i's property as is otherwise assessed, and the only slock exempted is that of religious and agricultural associations. The cashier of every banking association, under oath, is required to mike out a list of all its stockholders residing out of the State,' and the bank is compelled to pay i per cent, per annum o:i such shares, and this is also required of every other corporation liable to taxation. Kansas— The Kansas laws ore almost the same as we propose. New York— The capital Stock of companies sha I be assessed to the company at its actual value ; al- lows deductions of real estate, personal propel ty, together with its surplus profits or reserved funds exceeding 10 par cent, of its capital. 1 . -. Massachusetts— This state has very elaborate laws for the assessing and taxing of -rations. The capital stock of corporations, except banks of issue and deposit, are ta-ed by the State Commissioner (an official corresponding with our State Board of Equalization), at the actual cash value on the first day of May, deducting their real estate, strueturi s, machinery, assessed by the local Assessors. Tho capital stock of railroads and telegraph companies are only assessed upon such portions of the whole valuation of the who capital stock as is pr.p:.rtion- al to the length if that t art of their lines lying within the Slate A tax is also levied on the gains of corporations. The corporation itself must pay the tax the tax not being levied on the sh rebo"a- crs. Upon failure of a c rporation to pay its taxes the Supreme Judicial Court may enjoin the fuither prosecution of the bush c s of the curjioratlon until all -axes due are paid, with c sts. Shares of the capital stock of foreign corporations, if owned by citizens ofthe commonweal tb^ are taxed to the in- dividual by the local Ass ssors for their lull value, without deductions. ... Missouri— According to the Revised Statutes! cf 11*72 the pita! stocks of corporations in this State ar. not taxed. -.:, Pennsylvania— Allstocks, except of king and foreign insurance companies, are taxed at the rate of one-half mill on each one per cent, of the annual dividend, or, if there is no dividend declared, three mills on the value of the capital stock. The tangi- ble property is otherwise regularly taxed. Mr. Leach proceeded at length to show the su- periority of several minor sections of his bill over those oi the majority bill. He said that tho minor- ity proposed the addition of a new section which provided for the maimer in which the State Board of Equalization shall assess tlja railroads operating in more than one county. Trie section also pro- vide, that the Board of Supervisors, after receiving the apportionment from the State Board, shall ap- portion the value to the various subdivisions of tin- county. The other bill simply says the road shall be assessed, but does not provide the method. . . A SAVING PROrOSEP. Section 3665 ia another new section to the Code. Itprovides that the asse sment made by the County Assessor shall be the only basis ..f taxation for tho county, or subdivision thereof, except incorporated cities, and may also be taken as such basis in incor- porated cities when the proper authorities so elect. This willsave the expense of the election of Ascss- ors, etc, for special assessments for t..h .<»', road purposes, and like, and the assessments for such purposes will be made from the county roll. And for this reason ithas been provided in our bill that all property shall be entered on the roll to the dis- trict in the county to which it belongs. .Mr. I. rack explained that tho greater part of the remaining sections were almost exactly alike in both bills. The minority had changed Section 375", at the sug- gestion of the State Board of hqualization. Here- tofore taxes came delinquent on the first Monday i:i January. Now,as that is the time the new offi- cers go into office, it was necessary to give the old ..(ficere time to settle up their . hook« before going out of office. So tho time of delinquency was made one week earlier. '-' .y" ' . .'. RRVIKW or THE major-TV report. "y \u25a0 The majority say : "It is apprehended that the chef ground of opposition to the bill presented herewith will be bised upon the fact that its fist section declares , that no property shall be sub- ject to double taxation. The donblc taxation which is thus sought to be obviated arises mainly, if not exclusive y, in reference to the taxation of stocks in e-rporalions ' formed ard doing business : in this State." Now the objec'.ion we raise is, that while pretending to tax stocks they do not practically as- sess them at all. , - •' .;•, - \u25a0-*. They fay again : "It beyond controversy : that the stocks issued to the stockholders at the COT- juration is but a certificate showing the interest wh*th the holder has in the entire ai-cts cf the cor- poration ;just as a deed Is ' rely the evidence of the interest which the grantee has acquired in .the property described therein." There Is a wide . ! U. tinctlon. A deed has no other than an intrinsic vc*- ue a value commensurate with the trouble of j re- producing It. It is not negotiable. 1 You cannot hypothecate it ; and is only the evidence of owner- ship. But it is different with a share of stock- it is the value of the property and the evidence ..' own- ership combined. It is ogg .tiab c, and yon can hy- pothecate it. ' It frequently represents douole toe value of the property creating it. -•'\u25a0' The majority say, by way of .illustration :"If five men , boose to form a corporation \u25a0 to fix the value of their property at one hundred thousand dollars, and to name their capital stock at the same sum, it is evident that they have created nothing of value ; that the property and its worth are preci ely the same ss before." Ea~act*jr, and in tnat case there won.; be no stick to as?cts, for the deduction of real and personal property leaves nothing. - y " * - GOVERNOR PERKINS , '.: ' -J.

We agree on this. \u25a0 " •• - -. j They say again : " But if C, having 41,000, deposit it with D, a savings bank, which loans it to E, and the result of these transections are two assessments, via.: .one to C and one to D, and each for *1, 000, here is a niodc of assessment not in proportion to value, for C's $1,000 is made to contribute to the support of the Government, during the same year, twice as much as A'sSI.COO." Or, in other words, they hold that it is roper to assess mortgages to the individual holder; but when banks acquire mortgages they should not be taxed for them. We hold that this is an unjust and discriminating propo- sition. . .-.•"\u25a0_ - Now we propose to assess deposits to the depos- itors that the country may get the benefit of tbe property that belongs to it. The deposits being a debt (unsecured) the bank owes, itis allowed to de-. duct this debt from its solvent credits unsecured : anil, in most instances, they will have sufficient of these credits, viz.: bond', warrants, notes indorsed, etc., to offset the amount they owe the depositors. Fair-minded bank people who understand this are satisfied. According to th i princ pie laid down in their report, if a man had $500,000 inMate bonds, or stocks, giving him an income of 550,000 a year, he should not be assessed to support the laws that ere- and that property and gives it protection. "* -" The majority intimate that an equal taxation will exterminate the banks. Being satisfied the past system of taxation was the next thing to confisca- tion and ruination of those who held real estate and like property, itmust be, sccoiding to their theory, a question now of who shall be ruined by taxation the |>eople or the banks. while I belie, cm banks I have no hesitancy In saying the commonwealth will suffer less by relieving the people. But, gen- tlemen, there is no danger that tlie banks will suffer or be exterminated by our system. ' - . The proposition of the majority is only a struggle*' of capital to evade taxation— that capital which is always to the front when the protection of the law is wanted, an 1 always skulking to the rear upon the approach of the Assessor. -- 1 do not wish to be un- derstood and thought from my ' language that lasvar on c pital any further than to malts it share its portion -of the debt due society for its protection, t I do not believe in I a war between capital and labor, and I cannot express jmy senti- \ ments belter than did Edward Everett when he said : That the rich man who treats with arrogance anil contempt the poor Is simply tramping -on the ashes of his ancestry.

Mr. Satterwiiite sail that the bill was simply abill to legislate out of office the present State Li-brarian because he v.-as aDemocrat. He did notcare to debate the question.

no reason for the p-ssage of this bill except a po-litical reason. This was one of the places thatought not to bo considered party spoils.

could reply to Mr. Baker that Mr. Cravens waselected at a regular election.

ON PaSSAOE.-

-"• The Senate took up bills on third reading and dis-posed of the following: -;

Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 11—Relativeto the establishment of a dead-letter office in SanFrancisco (by Mr. Horse)— was concurred in by avote of 82 ayes to 1no. \u25a0—'

--»'-.-\u25a0---

Assembly Bill No. 30—An Act to repeal Section1222 of the Code of Civil Procedure, relating tojudgments and orders in esses of contempt (by Mr.Young)— was read third time. , -*

Mr. Dickinson opposed the passage of the bill.The section was necessary to maintain the properdignity and authority of"the Courts. The Judgewas the best judge of the contempt. y y...... \u25a0 i.!A

Mr. Hittell took the same view of the case.Mr. Johnson favored the bill. Itwas a billto pro-

tect personal liberty, to protect the rights of thepeople and to strike down one of the most iniquitousprerogatives now possessed by the Court. He gavethe history of the well-known case of Webb, in Am-ador county, and held that there should be appealsin cases of contempt. This section was a relic cfbarbarism and ought to be repealed in the interestscf personal liberty.r ,. -

: -. •- ~- . y.Mr.Neumann opposed the passage of the bill. This

section had been on the statute books for a longtime, and it was strange that it should be found tobe so bad allat once. In the history of the Statethis law had never, been abused but twice. TheCourts should have the power to punish contemptsummarily, and nothing should be done to weakenthe power of the Court in this respect

Mr. Davis agreed with Mr.Neumann, and heldthat the judicial department should be held sacred.This bill would take away from the Courts the powertopreserve order inthose Courts. '. Ho held that thebill was unconstitutional. \u25a0 y

_r

> v, :'- yyMr. Dickinson again argued against the passage of

the bill, elaborating the argument already advanced.He held that the Supreme Court did not have ap-pellate jurisdiction in this case.

- -. Mr. fc.vos urged the passage of the bill. It wasnot to do away with the power of the Court to com-mit for contempt, but itwas simply to give a man aright to appeal from the ord.r committing for con-.tempt of Court. He took the same ground as Mr.Johnson, and held that the bill was in the interestof personal liberty. He believed it to be constitu-tional, and that the Legislature had the power toproscribe the appellate jurisdiction of the Courts ofthe State. The powers of Courts had been abused inmore than one or two coses, not only from personalgrounds, but onaccount of politicalgrounds.

Mr. Satterwhitx agreed wita Mr. Davis. Thishillcould only effect appeals from Justices' and Po-lice Courts to the Superior Courts. The Constitu-tion provided the appellate jurisdiction of the Su-preme Court, and the Legislature could uot alter itwithout amending the Constitution.

Mr. Johnson held the bill to be constitutional,and again urged its passage, replying at length tothe argua cuts of those on the other side. He didnot wish to take away the power of the Courts topunish fircontempt, but when the C urt was wrongthe order ought to be reversed onappeal. No matterhow old a law was, ifit was abad law itought toberepealed. ' Let the Suprems Court decide upon theconstitutionality of the law. >'- -' '

"\u25a0'• Mr. Wendell favored the passage of the bill.Senators were mistaken in supposing that this billtook away the power of Courts to punish for con-tempt. Itsimply repeals that provision which pro.vides that the judgment of the Court shall be finaland conclusive. He held that the Supreme Courtcould have jurisdiction in such cases.

- -' "

. Mr. Kane believed in tho right of appeal andrepeal. He favored the passage of the; Dill. ,Heknew of many cases where Courts had decided caseswrongly.. The Judges ought not to be the finalarbitrators.

.TillREVENUE BILLS. ,The majority and minority reports of the joint

Committee on Revenue and Taxation were read, andit was agreed that they should be considered to-gether. .o. .•>--y.(.-yo .--'-'..- . • \u25a0\u25a0; ..-..-:..---I.Mr. Leach opened the discussion. He said :;Weare now entering upon one of the most importantActs for which this Assembly was convened, and itis proper weshould discuss the question of revenueto its fullest extent, that the members- may actwisely, intelligently and without prejudice. ,Thelaws for taxation are enacted for the purpose ofraising revenue far the support of the machinery ofgovernment. Governments are organized forthe protection of society and the maintenance of therights of individuals in their pursuits of life andhappiness; that the weakest among the people mayfind a sanctuary under its authority; that justiceshall be meted out, for the asking, to every manbe he rich or poor, high or low. Now, sir, is itnottbe bounden duty of every citizen to willinglybearhis shore orproportion of the expense for the enjoy.ment of these grand privileges ;and such share shouldbe paid withpromptitude, and without coercive laws.ButIregret to repeat that which is in the knowl-edge of everyone— the spirit of evasion of taxationis almost the rule; and this unpatriotic feeling hasgone so far that in years past the assistance of thehighest Courts of the land havebeen invoked tomakecomplete the escapement of taxation. Untilnowat least one-half the p.operty of the State is un-justly bearing the whole burden of the expense ofGovernment. And the worst feature of this condi-tion of affairs is, that the owners of this one- half arethe class of citizens least able to bear the tax—theclass which frequently in paying the tax have todeny themselves and their families the comforts oflife,and, sometimes, even the necessities of exist-ence. ;„,.o, s„-.y \u25a0 \u25a0;, \u25a0 -.:-.: -\u25a0 ;,-. -

_\u25a0' IS THIS JUST?

Isitstrange that people complain when the otherhalf escaping taxation are of a class that to pay theirshare of tbe burden would uot compel them a de-nialof hardly a luxury? So palpable had this in-justice become, so onerous the unequal burden, thatthe murmuring of the people was unmistakable andanew Constitution, containing almost an entire rev-enue system, was the result. The people were de-termined that the time hail come when the burdenof taxation should be divided between the real estateholder and those who own princely fortunes inbonds, mortgages, stocks, etc. -\u25a0-••

- - -Inthe consideration of ihe question the duty of

this body is plainly and unmistakably set forth inthe provisions of tho Constitution. There can beno evasion or equivocation: The lines arc clearlycut and well defined. With a fulland conscientiousconception of this fact, the duties demanded of ushave been provided for in the billsubmitted by theminority.. On the contrary, the bill submitted bythe majority is nothing but a careful, skillful, craftyand shrewd evasion of the requirements of the peo-ple, as expressed in the Constitution.' '\u25a0 ,>->'-' • •

j political pledges. ,;..*.j ;.. .; y

To be true to the mandatory provisions of theConstitution was the greatest trust the people placedin this Assembly, and each political party pledgedIts candidates to a strict observance of the spiritand letter of the new fundamental law, and Isin-cerely and honestly feci, and say it withall the em-phasis of my manhood, that'Icould do no greaterviolation to those trusts— those duties— than to givemy support to a measure which is a plain evasion ofthe spirit and letter of the Constitution

—the bill

supported by the majority. .• From the reports of the State officials for the year1879, 1 find that the total. amount of property as-sessed in this State that year, from which the rev-enue for the support of the State was derived, wasabout 8600,000,000, withthe property only assessedat about one-half of its full value. By assessingproperty at its fullvalue the amount of the rollofthis State should be nearly one billionof dollars. Ialso find from the reports that the eighty-four banksof the State have at least $100,000,000 worth of taxable properly, none of which has been returned tothe Assessors for years There is at least as muchmore of the same class of property in the hands ofprivate individuals that has escaped taxation. Toshow the inequality of taxation, a member of theConstitutional Convention of the State, Mr. Dudley,took the trouble to investigate the question. Theresult of his labors willbe shown in the debates ofDecember 27th, which was, that while the averagetaxpayers paid about six per cent on their gross in-comes, four certain corporations of the State onlypaid a tax of seven mills.

-These are the evils we propose to correct, ,and

when the assessment of the stock of corporal ioi s istaken into cousiderati n, together with the propertyof the banks and individuals that has eecaped tax-ation, and the .ating of all property at acash value,it must be plain to every one that the assessmentroll of the State under such a bid as the minorityreport sliolll. be double its present amount, and therate of taxation reduced near!) one-half. Is anyone going to be hurt ? .ianswer no, sir, for the manwho is compelled to do bis duty nnd pay the debt heowes society for the security of his person, biswealth and happiness, is not hurt onlydoing undercompulsion what he ought todo voluntarily.- ' *'

THE taxation OF stocks.The kernel of the whole question is, sha'l we tax

tho capital stock of corporations? The Constitutionsays we shall. T'ne Constitution says the word'•property"

besides other things is declared to meanstocks, as well as all other matters aud things, real,personal and mixed, capable of private ownership,and, further, that all prop, shall he taxed. Nowwhat is plainer t an this. How could wo evadethis lain duty, even if we desired'; Nevertheless,the committee were urged not to assess the sharesof certain corporations, and oven one gentlemanwent so far as to call on us topause in our mad ca-reer, and warned us of the terrible result thatWould follow, namely: That

'certain cor-

porations would disincorporate, and cer-tain capitalists would remove to Sew York,Now, sir,Ifeel like hurling back the warning, tohim and those whose 'ctiliracnts be echoes, andwarn them to"beware that they carry not too fartheir defiance to the willof the people. There canbe no greater menace to the woll-beingof acountrythan the encouragement and recognition of an une-qual and discriminating taxation. Because we thai!pass laws compelling a class ofcitizens to share withus the cost of supporting the Government, thesepatriotic individuals are going toleave the State.When Ibevel this warning Iat once sought Hie rev-enue laws of New York, and Ifound to my aston-ishment that the Code iv that State provides for amore stringent assessment ofcapital stocks and cor-porations than do-s the law wo propose In fact, Iinvestigated the laws of nearly all the States, andold Missouri was about the only State that bad lessstringent laws than we propose, y

TIIKV SAY Wi: should not tax

Stock". Iwant to know why in the name of justicea man who has bis capital invested In this class ofproperty, deriving an income which gives him allthe luxuries of life,!should bo exempted from taxa-tion, and by what course of reasoning they justifythe taxation of the man who has his capital investedinreal estate and thel ke, to the extent that hemusthear the share of him who owns stocks. The ma-joritysay stocks are not property a.d should not betaxed. yIquote the following decisions of theSupreme Court of the United States, whichIthickis a higher authority than the report \u25a0of themajority: \u25a0

"In the decision of the Delaware Rail-

road tax case (18 Wallace 17. S. Supreme CourtReports) it was held and affirmed that the Statelimyimpose taxes upon the corporation as an enti»yexisting under its laws, as well as upon ths capitalstock of the corporation or its separate corporatepioperty. And tho manner in which its value shallbeessesse.l,aadtherateoftaxatlon,howeverarbitraryor capricious, are m^re matters of legislative/ dis-cretion.*'

Again: "Inthe case of Tappan vs. Merchants'National Bank (19 Wallace, Supremo Court Re-ports) the opinion of the Court was that shares ofstock in national banks are a species of personalproperty which is, i.i one sense, intangible and in-corporal, hut the law which creates them may sep-arate them from

'the person of their owner for the

purposes of taxation, to give them a si'iir of theirown.

* * *The State within which a national

bank is situated has jurisdiction, for the purpose oftaxation, of all the -reboldcrs of the bank, bothresident and non-resident, and of all its shares, andmay legislate accordingly.''

*,c

Andagain : "Inthoca'cof PalIlugtail vs. Ten-nessee (vol. 95 \u25a0United •States Supreme Court Re-ports) the Court held that the capital stock and theshares of capital stock are distinct thing*.' * * *Itis" subject to taxation like other property. Tlieshares of capital stock are usually represented bycertificates.

-Every bolder is a eettui que trust to

the extent of his ownership. .The shares are heldand may be bought and sold and taxed like otherproperty.- The capital stock and the shares mayboth be taxed, aud it is not double

'taxation. The

bank may be required to pay the tax out of its cor-porate fuues, or be authorized to deduct the amountpaid for each stockholder out of hi, dividends.

-*. "

The capital stock and th1shares of that stockIn the hands cfsloe' holders arc different propertiesend consequently distinct subjects of taxation.The exemption of the one is cot of itself an exemp-tion of the other, nor is the taxation of the one atax upon the other."..-. : -. \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0..>.

-\u25a0t ;'i-i'AA'-A TnE bills compared. ;y.:: . ..":He then said itroust be borne in mini that theserevenue bills are simply amendments to the sectionof the present law of the State as found in thoCode. He said the most important difference in thebills was in the first section. The majority c m-mitlee bill says :"No property is subject to doubleUxa ion or-to be twice assessed by the same tax,whatever be the manner or form,"etc. That readsnice and is fairly captivating, but it is one of theworst features of their bill.\The cry of double- tax-ation is nothing but a scare-crow, and is only in-dulged in,by jpoor, little, timid. capita!,- and ,ifyou speak of assessing anote, a bold or tbare ofstock this creature, trembling in every limb, withhorror depicted on all its features, and quakingvoice," squeaks out:

"Double taxation." <The en-

actment of this proposition v.ou'.l practically nullifythe whole intent < f the Constitution on revenue,and we would be powerless to reach the majority ofthat class of property escaping taxa ion ever sinceths notorious decision of the Supreme Court. .Themijority? are > frank J enough , in

-their |report

to imply that'they have

-Inierted Ithis,' as

-1bey

believe that money oncaj taxed to jthe-

Depositorsshould not be taxed in the bank even ifloaned. Astbe balk of mortgages held bybanks are acquired byloaning the money of the depositors, howrtrsn couldwe tax mortrages, credits, etc .".under this provis-ion .' The Constitution says wemust tax mortgagesto the hold..- thereof, consequently tbo propoteiaroeniment comes in plain and direct conflict withthe Consi:tirion. 1: loereis another bad feature inthis section, th;Eubstuir-o of win.h is that deonsiisare to leassessed to the bank. ;The effect of his isthat eg Bullions ofdollars fromaHaurcr the State are

deposited in the banks of the cities, and being taxed"a the bank.the cities would get the taxes properly bo-longingto the counties from which the deposits came."

InSection 2 the majority omitted the following:"The term property Includes moueys, credits,

bonds, stocks, dues, franchises, and all other mat-ters and things, real, personal and mixed, capableof private ownership." We inserted itbecause theConstitution defines these things as property thatshould bo taxed. Now, according to the positiontaken by the majority, that money once taxed tothe depositor could not be taxed again in the bankif leaned or not.' They: must have designedlyleft itout, for the oanks frequently acquire bonds,Scrip and like credits with the money depositedwith them. Itwould not be. onsisten" for them toinclude tbe constitutional definition of property intheir bill, when they take the position that this kindof property should not be taxed. .

\u25a0;•.-.: ;--.., 'taxation OK mortoaoes. \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0[-•'IInSection 3 the majority provide for the assess-ment of mortgages. This provision was not in thebill originally; but itlooked good, and they incor-porated itfrom ours, overlooking the inconsistencyof the provision with other parts of their bill. Herothey provide for the assessment of mortgages, andyet they lay down the opinion in the first section oftheir bill and

'say in substance that it shallnot be done. They here acknowledge the duty andright of the Legislature to assess that part of themoney deposited which the bank loined on mort-gages. In

-this admissio ithey acknowledge the

principle tobe correct, let declare against it, whenthey in their report hold that deposits once taxed to

the depositor' can not be taxed in the tank, whetherloaned or not. By this they acknowledge the rightto assess that part of deposits invested in mortgages,but toassess that part of deposits invested incountyscript, bonds and credits of that kind is doubletaxation. Mr. Leach proceeded todemonstrate thatthe provisions of the minority bill, defining theduties ofAssessors were more complete and specific.

. ASSESSMENT OF UNSUEVETED LAND. :Section 7 is exactly the same In both bills. It

was amended to conform to the requirements of theConstitution providing that land shall be assessed insmall tracts, the old section in the Code providingthat when he thought it necessary the Assessorcould compel the survey of land unsurvcr. d, andthat the expense should be included with the taxes.As there are erases where the cost of survey would bemore than the value of the land, the committeeunanimously thought it best to take the extraor-dinary power out of the hands of the Assessor andplace itin the hands of the Superior Court.• '

THE IMPORTANT SECTION.'-'• * •~: "

Section 3640 is the most important section in ourbill. The other side devotes a large part of theirreport against this section, arguing that itis doubletaxation. They 'cite authorities, and the wholeburden of their argument is that we intend to taxall their property, real, personal, etc., first, and thenall of their capital stock. Iwill guarantee that aboy fifteen years old, after reading that section, willnot say that. . There has been a gross misunder-standing, tosay the least, on the part of the major-ity, and the misrepresentation has led a number ofpapers into error. 1will icad the section : "Corpo-rations, associations, and Joint stock companies hav-ing t'ieir principal place of business in this State,shall be assessed with the market value of their cap-ital stock, after deducting therefrom the value of allother property assessed to them, and such capitalstock shall not be assessed to the individual ownersthereof." That is just as pi. as thewords of the English .language can make it.To illustrate :If. the value of.the capital stock isworth nomore than all their property, there wouldbe nothing to assess of the capital stock ;and again,if the property of a corporation is worth $:.0,000,and the actual cash value of its capital stock is 175,---000, there would be only $25,000 to assess.

- Ifthereis any double taxation in that proposition, then Iam emphatically for that kind of assessment, ti. > •\u25a0'\u25a0

. *.IXI'R.A TICE IN OTHER STATES.

Ihave taken the trouble to examine the revenuelaws ol ten or twelve States wilhoutdiscriminati n,and a majority of those commonwealths tax tbecapital stock of corporations in substance on.thesame plan as wo have proposed. Iwi1read :. Arkansas— ("unit's Arkansas Digest, Section 5047,says the term "investment" means and iieludesall moneys invested in.all shares of associations,'corporations, joint-stock companies, or otherwise ;also all shares of every company, whether incorpo-rated or not;and the next section provides that allinvestments, moneys, credits, bonds, stocks, theproperty of corporations, shall h> subject to taxa-tion, and there is no deduction from asscssmeßt-'ofstock ;and another provision provides thai* this.property must bo assessed .to the individuals ;nodeductions are provided for. -.'

lowa—Stocks in corporations are assessed andtaxed at true cash value. Shares of banking associ-ations are taxed at no greater rate than money.j Maine

—and shares of corporations inand

out of the State are assessed toindividuals holdingthe same iv the State, and deductions are allowedfor the capital invested in machinery, goods and realestate. Inassessing railroads deductions are allowedfor the track of the rood and land on which itis con-structed. . '."".--•

Alabama— Codes of this State provide thatstocks are included in personal property, and thecapital stocks of corporations are assessed, except somuch as is invested in property and taxed otherwiseas property. Banks are subject to a regular annualtax of CO c.nts on each $100 of the par value of thestock which is 8100. Railroads are assessed for alltheir property and their capital stock.-

Connecticut -The revised statutes of this Stateprovide that the shares of the capital stock of anybank, trust, insurance, turnpike, bridge or plankroad company shall bo assessed to the individualholder, deducting from the actual value of such

so much of i's property as is otherwise assessed,and the only slock exempted is that of religious andagricultural associations. The cashier of everybanking association, under oath, is required to mikeout a list of all its stockholders residing out of theState,' and the bank is compelled to pay iper cent,per annum o:i such shares, and this is also requiredof every other corporation liable to taxation.

Kansas— The Kansas laws ore almost the same aswe propose.

New York—The capital Stock of companies sha Ibe assessed to the company at its actual value;al-lows deductions of real estate, personal propel ty,together withits surplus profits or reserved fundsexceeding 10 par cent, of its capital. 1 . -.

Massachusetts— This state has very elaborate lawsfor the assessing and taxing of -rations. Thecapital stock of corporations, except banks of issueand deposit, are ta-ed by the State Commissioner(an official corresponding with our State Board ofEqualization), at the actual cash value on the firstday of May, deducting their real estate, strueturi s,machinery, assessed by the local Assessors. Thocapital stock of railroads and telegraph companiesare only assessed upon such portions of the wholevaluation of the who

•capital stock as is pr.p:.rtion-al to the length if that t art of their lines lyingwithin the Slate A tax is also levied on the gainsof corporations. The corporation itself must paythe tax

—the tax not being levied on the sh rebo"a-

crs. Upon failure of a c rporation to pay its taxesthe Supreme Judicial Court may enjoin the fuitherprosecution of the bush c s of the curjioratlon untilall -axes due are paid, with csts. Shares of thecapital stock of foreign corporations, if owned bycitizens ofthe commonweal tb^are taxed to the in-dividual by the local Ass ssors for their lull value,without deductions. ...

Missouri— According to the Revised Statutes! cf11*72 the pita!stocks of corporations in this Statear. not taxed. -.:,

Pennsylvania— Allstocks, except of king andforeign insurance companies, are taxed at the rateof one-half millon each one per cent, of the annualdividend, or,ifthere isno dividend declared, threemills on the value of the capital stock. The tangi-ble property is otherwise regularly taxed.

Mr. Leach proceeded at length to show the su-periority of several minor sections of his bill overthose oi the majority bill. He said that tho minor-ityproposed the addition of a new section whichprovided for the maimer in which the State Boardof Equalization shall assess tlja railroads operatingin more than one county. Trie section also pro-vide, that the Board of Supervisors, after receivingthe apportionment from the State Board, shall ap-portion the value to the various subdivisions of tin-county. The other bill simply says the road shallbe assessed, but does not provide the method. .

. A SAVING PROrOSEP.Section 3665 ia another new section to the Code.

Itprovides that the asse sment made by the CountyAssessor shall be the only basis ..f taxation for thocounty, or subdivision thereof, except incorporatedcities, and may also be taken as such basis in incor-porated cities when the proper authorities so elect.This willsave the expense of the election of Ascss-ors, etc, for special assessments for t..h .<»', roadpurposes, and like, and the assessments for suchpurposes willbe made from the county roll. Andfor this reason ithas been provided in ourbillthatall property shall be entered on the roll to the dis-trict inthe county to which it belongs. .Mr. I.rackexplained that tho greater part of the remainingsections were almost exactly alike in both bills.The minority had changed Section 375", at the sug-gestion of the State Board of hqualization. Here-tofore taxes came delinquent on the first Mondayi:iJanuary. Now,as that is the time the new offi-cers go into office, itwas necessary to give the old..(ficere time to settle up their .hook« before goingout of office. So tho time of delinquency was madeone week earlier. '-' .y"

' • ..'. RRVIKW or THE major-TV report. "y \u25a0

The majority say :"Itis apprehended that thechef ground of opposition to the bill presentedherewith willbe bised upon the fact that its fistsection declares ,that no property shall be sub-ject to double taxation. The donblc taxation whichis thus sought to be obviated arises mainly, ifnotexclusive y,in reference to the taxation of stocks ine-rporalions '

formed ard doing business :in thisState." Now the objec'.ion we raise is, that whilepretending to tax stocks they do not practically as-sess them at all. ,

- •' .;•,-

\u25a0-*.

They fay again :"It beyond controversy :thatthe stocks issued to the stockholders at the COT-juration is but a certificate showing the interestwh*th the holder has in the entire ai-cts cf the cor-poration ;just as a deed Is 'rely the • evidence ofthe interest which the grantee has acquired in.theproperty described therein." There Is a wide . !U.tinctlon. Adeed has no other than an intrinsic vc*-ue

—a value commensurate with the trouble of jre-

producing It. It is not negotiable. 1 You cannothypothecate it;and is only the evidence of owner-ship. • But itis different with a share of stock- it isthe value of the property and the evidence ..' own-ership combined. Itis ogg .tiab c, and yon can hy-pothecate it.

'It frequently represents douole toe

value of the property creating it. -•'\u25a0'

The majority say, by way of .illustration :"Iffive men ,boose to form a corporation \u25a0 to fix thevalue of their property at one hundred thousanddollars, and to name their capital stock at the samesum, itis evident that they have created nothing ofvalue;that the property and its worthare preci elythe same ss before." • Ea~act*jr, and in tnat casethere won.; be no stick to as?cts, for the deductionof real andpersonal property leaves nothing.

"\u25a0 71,..- n;.oJ..ii.'y say :"If has thousand dollarsand toacs it to B, i;is clear that the a»se*ment ofthis property, as a mortgage or otherwise to A for

one thousand dollars, is a just and constitutionalassessment."' We agree on this. \u25a0

" •• - -. •j They say again :

"But if C, having 41,000, deposit

itwithD, a savings bank, which loans it to E, andthe result of these transections are two assessments,via.: .one to C and one to D, and each for *1,000,here is a niodc of assessment not in proportion tovalue, for C's $1,000 is made to contribute to thesupport of the Government, during the same year,twice as much as A'sSI.COO." Or, in other words,they hold that it is roper to assess mortgages tothe individual holder; but when banks acquiremortgages they should not be taxed for them. Wehold that this is anunjust and discriminating propo-sition. . .-.•"\u25a0_-

Now we propose to assess deposits to the depos-itors that the country may get the benefit of tbeproperty that belongs to it. The deposits being adebt (unsecured) the bank owes, itis allowed to de-.duct this debt from its solvent credits unsecured :anil, inmost instances, they will have sufficient ofthese credits, viz.: bond', warrants, notes indorsed,etc., to offset the amount they owe the depositors.Fair-minded bank people who understand this aresatisfied. According to th iprinc pie laiddown intheir report, ifa man had $500,000 inMate bonds, orstocks, giving him an income of 550,000 a year, heshould not be assessed tosupport the laws that ere-and that property and gives itprotection. "*-"

The majorityintimate that an equal taxation willexterminate the banks. Being satisfied the pastsystem of taxation was the next thing to confisca-tionand ruination of those who held real estate andlikeproperty, itmust be, sccoiding to their theory,a question now of who shall be ruined by taxationthe |>eople or the banks. while Ibelie, cm banksIhave no hesitancy In saying the commonwealthwill suffer less by relieving the people. But, gen-tlemen, there is no danger that tlie banks willsufferorbe exterminated by our system. ' - .

The proposition of the majority is only a struggle*'ofcapital to evade taxation— that capital which isalways to the front when the protection of the lawis wanted, an1always skulking to the rear upon theapproach of the Assessor.
