Tho Nows holds to Its formor opinion that tho non-resident corporation should bo required to pay on Its holdings exactly tho same rate as tho resident small owner Is assessed. Tho corporation Is more able to mnko this payment than Is often times tho individual ownor, whose entire capital ts tied up In a piece of timber from which ho hopes to obtain rovouue to support his family.
