There shall be the-following Standing Committees: (a.) A Committee on the Amendment of the Law, which shall be charged with the duty of attention to all proposed changes in the law, and of recommending such as, in their opinion, may be entitled to the favorable influence of this Association. (t>.) A Judiciary Committee, which shall be charged with the duty of the observation of the working of our judicial sys- tem, the collection of information, the entertaining and examination of projects for a change or reform in the system, and of recommending, from time to time, to the Association, such action as they may deem expedient. (c.) A Committee on Grievances, which shall be charged with the hearing of all complaints against members of the Association, and also all complaints which may be made in matters affecting the interests of the legal profession and the practice of the law, and the administration of justice, and to report the same to this Association, with such recommendation as they may deem advisable. (tdministration of our tax laws. Some doubts have been expressed as to whether a license system of this nature could be introduced in this State, and which could be extended to every kind of business or occupation now legally pursued ; but our Supreme Court has already decided the broad principle that the power to tax includes the power to license, and we are in favor of trying it. Town of Carmel v. Wabash Co., 50 111. 71. See also Wiggins v. City of Chicago, 68 111. 379. We must discover other sources of revenue, or else real estate, and especially UNPRODUCTIVE REAL ESTATE, will be confiscated every ten years, and the tenure of the same become more uncertain than when the vassal under the Feudal system, held at the will of his lord. III. No mercy is shown to the widow, who has had cast upon her by death an interest in the lands of her hus- band, but she must pay taxes upon the full value of the land, or she will be guilty of permissive waste, although 6 she has only a right of possession, and the reversion is in the heirs of her deceased husband. There are numbers of widows in this State to-day, who under the obligations imposed upon them by the 45th section of the dower act and the workings of the Revenue Law have been utterly ruined. All unproductive real estate of orphans is sure to be sacrificed unless they are left with ready cash to pay taxes. In Massachusetts it is provided by statute that " any portion of the estate of persons who, by reason of age, infirmity, or poverty, are, in the judgment of the assessors, unable to contribute fully toward the public charges, may be exempt from taxation." In other States a portion of property subject to execution is exempt, but in this State there is no exemption of real or personal property owned by an individual whatever, and not one beneficent provision to relieve the burdens of either the rich or poor. IV. In the older governments of Europe it has long since been demonstrated that to place all of the burdens upon real estate, without regard to the rental value, is wrong and unjust, and has long since been abandoned. There the system of licensing corporations, associations, and taxes on trades, and all sorts of business and pro- fessions, and income taxes, and stamp duties more uni- versally prevails than in this country ; but here the reve- nues of the State and municipal governments are raised in an entirely different manner, and with the exception of a limited license system, taxation is confined almost wholly to real estate and personal property. Pennsyl- vania is an example of the workings of a mixed system of licensing, income taxes, taxes on dividends, and taxes on emoluments of office and different classes of business. Most of the general revenues of that State are, however, raised from the licensing of railroads and other corpora- tions, and taxes on the dividends and incomes of corpora- tions. So much has been said in regard to THE PENNSYLVANIA REVENUE SYSTEM, that we have taken special pains to inquire into it, and we can not do better than to quote from the report of Hon. David Wells, Dodge, and Cuyler, commissioners appointed to investigate and report upon a revenue sys- tem of New York in 1871. In referring to Pennsylvania, they say that : The revenue of the State for State pur- poses is derived mainly from the following sources: 1. A tax of one-half of one mill on each one per cent of all dividends which may be declared by the corporations of the State, except banks, savings institutions, and foreign insurance companies ; and in case that no dividends are declared, then a tax of three mills on the valuation of the stock. Building associations, plankroad and turnpike companies are not liable to any tax, where no dividends are declared. The receipts to the State treasury from this source, for the year 1869, constituted the largest single item of the State revenue, and amounted to $1,037,172. 2. Taxes on tonnage carried over the lines of the various transportation companies operating exclu- sively within the State, viz. : two cents on the product of mines, three on the product of forest and agriculture, and five on manufactures and general merchandise. The receipts from this source, for the year 1869, and certain commutations of the same, amounted to $659,900. 3. Taxes on personal property, which are made up mainly of the following items: Money at interest, furniture, horses and cattle, three-tenths of one per cent. ; pleasure carriages, one per cent. ; gold watches, one dollar ; silver watches, seventy-five cents ; other watches, fifty cents. The inconsiderable nature of these taxes may be inferred 8 from the circumstance that the whole revenue derived from the same, for the year 1869, was -1454,873. 4. A tax of three-fourths of one per cent, on the gross receipts of every transportation company of the State liable to the payment of a tonnage tax. The income from this source, in 1869, was $373,420. 5. A tax of five per cent. on every dollar of interest paid by the corporations of the State to its bondholders or creditors ; in lieu of which the principal sums from the interest of which the said tax is deducted, are EXEMPT FROM ASSESSMENT and taxation for State purposes, as personal property. The revenue from this source, for 1869, was $340,816. 6. A tax of three per cent, on the annual net earnings of every private banker, broker, incorporated banking and savings institution, express company, and all other corpo- rations of the State, except those paying a tonnage tax, incorporated banks and insurance companies. The reve- nue from this source, for 1869, was $310,895. 7. A license tax of five hundred dollars per annum on every foreign insurance company doing business in the State ; and a tax of three per cent, on the entire amount of the premiums or commissions received. The receipts from this source, for 1869, were $226,226. 8. Taxes on the enrollment of laws, by which it is to be understood a taxation imposed on the enrollment of all acts of the Legislature passed for the benefit of private parties, the same varying from $1,000 on the incorporation of banks with a capital of $1,000,000 ; two hundred dollars on the incorporation of manufacturing, mining, or oil companies, and one hundred dollars on transportation companies : down to thirty-seven dollars for acts of divoice and mis- cellaneous private bills for claims, relief, etc. The reve- nue from this source, for the year 1869, was $21,000. 9. Taxes on the emoluments of offices, by which is to be 9 understood a tax of two per cent, on so much of the salary or emolument of offices of the State, or corpora- tions created by the State, as is in excess of two hundred dollars. The revenues from this source, for 1869, were $16,644. 10. Retailers' licenses, $422,273. 11. Tavern licenses, $289,555. 12. Other licenses, i. e., amusements, peddlers, restaurants, etc., $69,800. 13. Taxes on collat- eral inheritances, $227,328. 14. Taxes on wills, writs, and deeds, $99,000. 15. Auction duties and commissions, $72,000 ; the sum total of State revenue, for the year 1869, from the above and a few other MISCELLANEOUS SOURCES, being $5,096,679 ; as compared with $8,138,000, the State revenue of New York from taxes for the corresponding period ; or in respect to population, $186 7-10 per capita in Pennsylvania, as compared with $186 2-10 per capita in New York." Since that report was made, we understand that a tax of four cents per ton has been imposed upon all anthra- cite coal, carried from any point within to any point with- out that State in lieu of a tax on tonnage, which had been declared unconstitutional. This applies only to anthracite coal, of which they have a monopoly, and is paid, of course, eventually, by the consumer. If the Pennsylvania system should be applied to our railroad corporations, and they were to pay a graded tax, in lieu of all other taxes and assessments, the entire State taxes would soon be met, and each municipal corporation would then have to look after its own burdens and taxes. But there is one thing that is very conspicuous in the State of Pennsylvania, and that is the liberality with which it treats manufacturing corporations. Their capital and their products are scarcely touched by the hand of the tax gatherer. If a similar liberal policy could be inaugu- rated in this State, it would be of the greatest benefit to 10 the whole people in furnishing home markets to the farmer and producer. We think that far greater fees should be charged by the State for authorizing the formation of corporations for pecuniary profit, and for corporations doing business in other States or Territories, and for allowing foreign cor- porations to do business in this State than is now required. V. If the present system shall be retained, it should be amended in several important particulars. We see no good whatever of valuing the entire real estate of the State every year. Real estate does not change as a gen- eral thing, but very little from year to year, and we are of the opinion that a valuation should not take place but once in every five years. It would be a great saving to the people, and produce just as good results as under the present system. This has been the law in Ohio arid Vir- ginia for many years. VI. We are of the opinion that a commissioner of taxes should be elected for the period of four years in every county in the State, who should have charge of the assess- ment of all property, and that personal property should be assessed annually, and collected as soon as the tax is laid. Forty per cent, of all the personal property of the State escapes taxation, by evasions, false returns, and no returns, 11 and then a large percentage of the taxes which are levied upon the same is lost by DELAY IN COLLECTION, by the death of the owners, by misfortunes, by failures in business and removal. VII. We think that there is at the present time altogether too much machinery made use of in levying and collect- ing taxes, and that a great burden is imposed upon the people for the books of assessors and collectors, and adver- tising delinquent lists, and in obtaining judgment against real estate. In this county we have ascertained that the number of books now on hand is yearly augmented as fol- lows : Assessors' books, 117, containing 150 pages each ; Collectors' warrants, 120, containing 175 pages each ; Town Collectors' delinquent return, 40, containing 300 pages each ; County Collectors' delinquent return, 47, containing 300 pages each ; judgment records, 47, con- taining 300 pages each ; sale records, 39, containing 275 pages each ; error and abatement, 20, containing 400 pages each ; making in all 430 volumes, which are added every year. The cost of Assessors' books is at least $1,000 yearly ; books of Collectors' warrants, $14,960 yearly ; books of Town Collectors' delinquent list, $4,500 yearly : books of County Collectors' delinquent list, $4,500 year- ly ; judgment record, $4,300 yearly ; sale record, $4,300 yearly ; making in all $33,560, and the average cost of publishing the delinquent list and notice of sale is from thirty-five to forty thousand dollars a year more. This vast expenditure should be saved, and we know of no earthly reason why this thing should be continued 12 for a single day. Our State is about the only one which collects taxes by resorting to a court and obtain- ing judgment against the land, and as long as this continues, we are of the opinion that a simple notice, by the Collector to all delinquents, that he will on a certain day apply to the court for judgment against all lands upon which the taxes and assessments remain unpaid, will be just as effective for all purposes, as to publish an- nually a list of all the lands throughout the State. It amounts to nothing, and the only persons benefited by it are the printers. VIII. The people of this State are not suffering so much at the present time from the burdens of State taxation as they are from that of counties, cities, villages, school boards, and park boards. That we have been able to withstand the burdens of National, State, and the various LOCAL AND MUNICIPAL CORPORATION TAXES for the last ten years and live is one of the marvels of the age. We have altogether too many taxing boards and officers clothed with the sovereign powers of the State for the public good and the good of mankind. Few men now living seem to know the value of a dollar, and fewer still know the trials which honest men have to undergo to obtain it. In many of the cities and suburban towns in this State, taxation has in many instances resulted in the utter confiscation of large quantities of real estate, and yet no power short of Omnipotence seems able to restrain the authorities that control them. Neither the example of Memphis or old Thebes seems to have any effect on them. 13 PAY AS YOU GO. The only policy for the people of this State to adopt is to " pay as you go." It was the rule of our ancestors, and if only once adopted here and sternly followed out and made applicable to every town, city, village, and school district in the State, would result in repressing recklessness and extravagance and redound greatly to the credit of our State. IX. The Legislature should, in order to save tax-payers from plunder, set bounds to the rate of taxation in every single instance, and then hold the officers of each county, city, village-school district and park board, accountable for their acts and doings. They should be compelled to make an annual report to some officer to be designated by law, show- ing how much money they had appropriated, the amount of taxes and assessments which had been levied, how much collected, how appropriated, etc.; in short, they should account for each and every dollar that comes into their hands. If such a report as this could be made yearly to some officer who should have charge of the matter, and with power to make inquiries into every detail and then have the same published the people would then know what had become of their money, and it would induce habits of greater economy and a more careful expendi- ture of public moneys than at present exists in this country. If this were done it would the better enable the people to exercise a surveillance over their servants than they do now. Now there exists NO CENTRAL OFFICE, where the requisite information can be obtained in regard H to municipal debts and municipal expenditures, and the people are all the time in ignorance as to the extent of the burdens which are imposed in the aggregate upon the peo- ple of the State. X. In the State of New York they have three State Assessors who devote their time and attention to the sub- ject of taxation and the equalization of the values, and we are informed that they have been the means of effect- ing many reforms and of equalizing the burdens of taxa- tion to a considerable degree. These might, with profit, take the place of the present Board of Equalization, or the present board might be done away with and the Gov- ernor, Auditor and Secretary of State substituted in their place. XI. " The interests of the people require a method of taxation at once equitable, effective and free from unnec- essary oppression ; one which will yield the requisite rev- enue while subjecting them as little as possible to inquis- itorial vexation, and which shall be attended with the least expense for official services, and afford the fewest temptations to fraud, concealment and evasion." To de- vise such a system is a work of time, and can only be ac- complished by experts, or by those who are thoroughly ac- quainted with the practical workings of tax laws in all their length, breadth and complexity. It is impossible for any legislator, or any man who has not made a specialty of taxation and of political economy, and of 15 financial and social questions, to elaborate and perfect a revenue system for a State like ours, which will produce equality and uniformity in taxation, during any session of the Legislature. The most that anybody can do with- out revising the whole system is to engage in patchwork. What is essential is that facts and the materials of infor- mation shall be first collected, the condition and exper- ience of other countries be investigated and compared with our own, and then when all the sources of informa- tion have been exhausted, that the results shall be laid before the people, whose interests are to be affected, and laws can be passed which will more equally distribute the burdens of the State and of our local municipal corpora- tions among all classes than is at the present time effected by our laws.
