This latter would seem to be a fair reason why the kinds of busi ness mentioned are exempted from the tax. If the tax should be taken from the lump earnings of the con cern, a large part of the tax would be at the rate of 6 per cent, which would be an injustice to the small stockholder who might be largely dependent upon his dividends for his living. The earnings of a bank or similar institution are in reality the earnings of a large number of people, rather than of one institu tion. Here is a simile that may clearly illustrate this explanation. If all the employes of one of the mills in Cottage Grove should lump their wages for purposes of taxation, they would be assessed a tax of 6 per cent on all above $12,009, but when each takes his own wages (equivalent to dividends) each is entitled to his exemptions and to the lower rate of taxation on th? smaller amount of earnings.
