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 This section was a relic cfbarbarism and ought to be repealed in the interestscf personal liberty.r ,.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.

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

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. -.'

—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

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."

'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.

"But if C, having 41,000, deposit

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.
