Views Outlined in Letter Forwarded to Chairman Smith of House ~ District Committee. f j "A theoretical method of taxation that is impracticable of execution." is the spei' ial hraml put by the Commissioners upon the Nye bill to tax intangible assets. Tills J ;s but one shred of the adverse comment ; made by the Commissioners in a long report made today to Representative fctmlth. chairman of the House committee on the District. The Commissioners do not want this kind of taxation, and their report on it bears adverse criticism in every line. Authorities are quoted to bear out the statement that the method of taxation is im1 pract ieable. The old saying that taxation of intangible assets would make perjurers of every one is born out in the quotation from an encyclopedia, in which a person who gives a fair valuation of Intangible assets to the assessor is called a "good-natured oddity." The measure is st> led inquisitorial. It is styled a dead letter, because no machinery is provided for the establishment of inquisitorial proceedings and no pen altv is attached by which the authorities may punish a man for refusing to divulge his personal secrets. Views of the Commissioners. The rcnort follows: "The proposed legislation is apparently designed to provide for raising additional and needed revenue, and to equalize the methods of taxation of personal property in the District of Columbia. "Concerning the first object, it is difficult to estimate just the amount that can be raised by adding a tax on intangible ; property. The amount cannot be large, but the Commissioners believe that the income which this measure would add could with more case and surety be raised by the equalization of real estate taxes which is now being made, and which will result in a material increase in the revenues. "With respect to the purpose of equalization, it is the testimony of experience that tax on intangible property tends to inequality in taxation Instead of fairness, and that those who are specially intended to be taxed are the ones who escape. All taxes on loans can be and : are easily shifted to the borrower, .with : the result that the mortgager pays on! both the real estate and the mortgage. The working of such laws has accordingly been unequal and unjust. Burden Is Unequal.. * t "The tax on intangible property is paid : by the honest part ot the. community, while those with an elastic conscience ; either* go free- or pay but a small part of their just share. In other words, it is a theoretical method of taxation tliat is impracticable of execution. This seems to be the opinion of the majority of officials in the different states where such a tax is required, although public opinion keeps the law <6n the statute books. "A recent authority on taxation in the Americana discusses the difficulty in the way of a just assessment of intangible personal property, as follows: " 'As far as real property is concerned. lands, houses, and those physical objects that are Immovable and clearly visible, there Is little* complaint. The trouble lies with personal property. It seems that the .assessors can reach but a small part of the vast wealth . that is embodied in stocks, bonds, notes, mortgages and other easily ronrealable forms of personal property. Laws have tried to reach these forms of wealth by giving the : assessor power to ask taxpayers the : most searching questions in reference : to their property and to require them j to reply upon oath, but notwithstand- j Jng this, just assessments cannot be made. After the tax officers have done their best the largest part of personal property must be assessed by the owners themselves if it Is assessed at all. andexperience has taught that but few men will do this honestly. Those who do give the assessor a full and fair account of all their personal property are regarded as good-natured oddities." Sweeping Proposition. ? ? " "As a reform it is proposed that personal property be dropped from the assessment rolls and that the personal property tax be abolished and other forms of taxation be substituted therefor. By the confession of all this is a sweeping proposition and one that public opinion would be slow to support, yet it is also quite gcneially confessed that the personal property tax has failed and is foilinor ua nttarlv that it nit ]nnr*r Vim ? ? I (J. I I > n J MB - - ? ? " ova - ?k" ?-? place in a scientific system of taxation." "In a report made to Gov. Griggs of New Jersey In 1807, It Is stated that " "In New Jorse>, as in other states, the only ones who now pay honest taxes ; on personal property are the estates of : decedents, widows and orphans, Idiots and lunatics." "Another r- port from West Virginia states that "as regards paying taxes on ; this class of property, it is almost as voluntary arid is considered pretty much : in the same light as donations to the neighboring church or Sunday school." "When the measure now known as the personal tax law of lttt: was being d s ussed the question of a tax on intan Mblproperty was considered and the Commissioners of the District of Colunribiu, in their report on the measure, said: i " "The principal objection to a personal tax system would arise from the inquis - : torial feature of it which has obtained under the law of many Jurisdictions. This : ! bill has been framed with a view to avoid such offensive provisions and is intended to apply only to property easily seen and appraised, without recourse to an unnecessary espionage upon the citizen*' private business affairs. The Commissioners would deprecate the inclusion in this Dill of more drastic measures." Exceeds Bate in States. "When that personal tax law was passed tile banks and trust companies con- ; sented to pay 0 per cent on their gross : earnings, which is a greater tax than that ' paid in any other state, with the understanding that their depositors would not " b?- taxed on their bank balances, nor their stockholders on their individual holdings of stork. )' wa> further intend* i to tax all the public service and quaeipubtic service corporations in an amount high enough to make it unnecessary to tax the individual holders of stock- With a few amendments to the present law. which are embodied by the Commissioners , In a draft of a biil which is in course of preparation by them and will Ue sub. mitted later, this result may be accomplished. "in the present personal' t? law the objectionable inquisitorial features are reduced to a minimum, and the property values are fairly obtainable as now assessed. The valuation of personal property In the District of Columbia is $35,and is larger than that of some of the states, and approximates the val- 1 uatton cf other states both as to tangible ar.d intangible property. Regarded as Dead Letter. "If it is determined, however, to provide for the assessment of intangible property, some comprehensive measure should be fragaed, as the above bill, if enacted, would be a dead letter.
