City Authorities Take Six Bar
rels of Whiskey From the
Coast Line.
Thomasville, Ga., January 13.—Who
is the Thomasville Chemical Compa-
The firm, which is not rated
by that name in Bradstreet or Dunn,
has beei* shipped six barrels of pint
flasks, filled with whiskey, and the
same stayed at the depot in this city
for three days. Acting on grapevine
information and 'by the authority in
me vested,” Mayor Beverly ordered
the shipment seized and taken to the
city barracks.
This is perhaps the largest seizure
of whiskey ever known in the city. It
is not given out who the Thomasville
Chemical Company is supposed to be,
but it is believed that the manager,
owner or proprietor knew that the
whiskey was in the station and delib
erately refrained from taking it out.
The shipment could hardly have been
sai<f to be for private use, so the city
authorities, for the good of the com
munity, took charge of the stuff,
which some folks will believe is chem
ically pure or pure chemical whiskey.

TAXATION OF CORPORATIONS
REVIEWED IN REPORT ISSUED
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C., January 13.—
Tax legislation throughout the United
States during 1912 is reviewed in a
final report on taxation of corpora
tions presented to President Wilson
today by Commisisoner Davies of the
Bureau of Corporations. One of the
striking features of legislation re
viewed is New York’s secured debts
law of 1911. The Wisconsin income
tax law of 1911 is considered the most
important tax legislation in the East
ern Central and Western Central
states.
Other noteworthy features are the
derided trend toward greater central
ization of the administration of tax
laws and the classification of property
for taxation purposessays the re
port. “Wisconsin h a leading example
of the one and Rhode Island of the
other. Wisconsin, by its income-tax
law, centralized its administration of
assessments and successfully reached
intangible p»*>p£
ing the classification method. Rhode
Island ha3 adopted the classification
method under which selected classes
are separated from the general prop
erty of the state, and each related
class is taxed at a rate which differs
from the general-property tax rate.
“Legislation with respect to the es
tates of nonresident decedents is also
noteworthy. By reason of the lack of
uniformity of state laws, such estates
are sometimes subject to taxation
three, and even four, times. Massa
chusetts, however, has recognized the
principle of taxing such property but
once, namely, by taxing the real es
tate only. Personalty is not taxed,
since such property usually passes in
accordance with the iaw of the juris
diction where the decedent is domi
ciled. Now York, in addition to tax
ing real estate, taxes chattels located
in New York and Wisconsin has
