CORPORATION MUST BEAR JUST BURDEN OF TAXATION. State Commission Rec ommends Radical Changes. BERKELEY, Oct. 24. — Radical chances In the method of levying taxes In California have been decided upon by the State Tax CommlMlon, which concluded Its sit t fag; r at the home of Profetaor C. C. Plehn today. Profeaaor Plchn, who has acted as secretary and expert advUer of the commission, an nounced today that the commission's report to the Legislature Is practically finished, and will be printed In a fort night at Sacramento. Governor Pardee and his associates on the commission have adopted a re report, which, If put toto the form of law by the Legislature, will almost rev olutionize taxation methods In Califor nia. Public service corporations will be taxed by and for the State alone, this sort of taxable property to be tak en from the control of counties, and cities, so far as taxation involves con trol. \u25a0 The corporations in question are to be taxed on the basis of grrosa receipts and the following rates of taxation will t>e recommended to the Legislature: Railroads, Including street railroads, not less than 4 per cent nor more than i> per cent on gross earnings. Express companies, 3 per cent on gross earnings. • Sleeping car. refrigerator car, fruit car and other car companies, not less than 4 per cent nor more than 5 per cent on gross earnings. Telegraph and telephone companies, t ««pr« p l r cent on S ross earnings. i-lght. heat and power companies, not less than 4 per cent nor more than 5 per cent on gross earnings. Banks. 1 per cent on the book value or the capital stock, less the value of real estate taxed locally. Insurance companies, 2 per cent on premiums received.- General corporation tax, now $20 flat, raised to 1-20 of 1 per cent on capital The commission's report will also recommend the assessing of real prop erty at its actual value, and the mak ing of a low tax rate in consequence. The report will be a bulky volume of about 500 pages. The expert work involved in its preparations has been largely done by Professor C. C Plehn, professor of economics in the State University.
