Mulkey, president of tbe commission. today explained soma of the fundamental principles which in his opinion, should govern In the work til hand. He aald: . ' . 'The principal aim of the commis sion will be to depart aa much as pos sible from the general property tax now in UN In moat of the states. - By the general property tax la meana the tax on realty and personalty,-aa -dis tinguished from the income tax on tha one hand and the tax on realty for lo cal purposes and the tax on personalty, public service corporations, franchises anil inheritances -on- the other. - - Methods found Una Tailing. - "The departure from the general property tax in the United Btatea has been first by franchise taxation, tax on corporations. Inheritances and per sonal property for state purposes. - But In moat instances this lias been.no real relief to the taxation of -real property for. state' purposes, but only baa re duced tha burden somewhat. . 'All writers agree that the---only proper method -of -getting away' from the general property tax In tha United States la by the taxation of realty for local purposes, and deriving , state rev enues from other sources. , The best writers on taxation approve of tha unit aytem of taxing corporations engaged tn publlo service, where tha business k and property axtenda through more than one county or state. .. "Tha favorite method of taxing pub llo service corporations now .is by aha excise tax, either on tha capital stock, the capital stock plus tha bonded ln debtedness, or tha earnings either gross r net Those stales that endeavor to tax publlo service corporations doing business in more than one state on gros earnings generally tax on the -gross earnings - per mile within .the state, and have found it necessary to 1 classify tha various public service cor Pom t Ions v per mile. .... Bxolse Tax Sfot Always rays. ."- "For Instance, when the gross earn , Inga are $3,000 a mile, the tax may be 1 ,,54 of 1 per sent; when 14.000 a mile, : r V of 1 per cent; when $.000 a mile. 1 "per cent. '.Of course, these figure re ' purely arbitrary. 1 "Michigan and Wisconsin have found that. the excise tax on gross earnings per mile under their classification ' brought lesa revenue than under the Ald - general property-tax -system, - and . those .states abandoned the, tax. - ' - "The beat method yet auggested to tax corporations such aa railways, tele phone, telegraph, Pullman car and car loaning companies la to tax them at a - valuation arrived at by comparison of ; ; their capital atock, plus their bonded Indebted nees. r T " Mileage Basts Better. ' "The proper legal method under thla ; aytem la to determine the ratio of the ' entire capital atock and bonded Indebt edness at tha market value to tha cap ital atock and bonded Indebtednesa em ployed "within the state at Its market ' value, tha ratio of the entire mileage to - the mileage in the -state, and tha gross receipts to tha entire receipts. . Qrosa .receipts In the state, however, have to be limited to business that baa orlgl- nated and terminated within tha atate. v NEW, LIODERII METHODS OF "CURING THE SICK AND AFFLICTED :ns!':: 10 n n m n n I.JSSt li ' n n n iT-i mm rr.a A . r ,'.- n n a I VLvUllUULwBB& Vfl III, f UCVO INDORSED BY THE MOST PROMINENT PHYSICIANS AND : SURGEONS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD" The " Elixir cf Life" Hov Rcfc2l!!c-js end Chronic Disccscs Heretofore Proncjr.ccd Ihcurablelsthg Hew end Successful Trcctinsnt th.2 X-C:d!urn Ddiccl Institute and.
