It would be interesting to know how it is possible for a railroad company to know wheth er its bonds are held by residents or non-residents. Bond of railroads are, as a rule, coupon bonds, and are trans ferred just as bank notes are. If two thirds of the bonds of a Georgia rail road were held in Ibis state it would not be possible for tbe railroad com pany to know the fact with certainty, because the holders of tbe bonds could have tbe coupons paid through banks ’ or brokers ol New York. Tbe railroads do not know who hold tbeir bonds, and the coupons do not show who the owners of them are. Besides, the coupons could readily be fold io per sons outsidejjf tbe state. Mr. Little is quoted as saying that he has studied tbe tax laws of many of the states. It is pretty certain that he has found that in many of them the tax rate on securities is very much lower than that on real estate. Tbe constitution of this state permit ß a low rate of taxation on securities, the opinion of the Supremo Court to tbe contrary notwithstanding. If Mr. Little wants to get about all of the securities in tbe state that are subject to taxation, on tbe tax books, he should provide in his bill a low tax rate on securities. It would pay the state to do so. The Governor is wise enough to see that the present rate of taxation is driving capital and securities out of the state, and he calls attention to tbe fact in his message in which be deals with the subject of reducing appropri ations. Mr. Little and some others think that there is a vast amount of securities in tbe state which escape taxation. Tbe Governor does not agree with them. The chances are the governor is right. No matter what sort of a drag net is invented, tbe state will not get many more se curities for taxation than it gets now. People will put their securities outside of the state before they will give from half to two thirds of their entite in* comes to tbe state. In enacting a tax reform measure tbe legislature should take this fact into considera tion.—Savannah News . , e I i > Bliiiil < j Flemister SBridges SENSATIONAL SALE I For This Week 49c yaid for all our Fancy Wool Dress Goods that were 60 to 65c. 10 to 25 per cert cut on all Novelty Dress Petterns.
