The money is taxed but odoo whether it ia in the bank or loaned out on a mortgage Then again they say it will lower the dividends what will be the objoot the money is taxed in proportion to its where will it make a difference in the dividends The only diffurenoe that I oan see is that Jones pays the tax either way whether he hands the bank $20 to pay his taxes or the bank deducts $20 from his dividend It ia the same it comes from Jones but onoe I am surprised at intelligent men asserting that money will be taxed three times How can it? Should the Assessor tax JoneB ou his hank book then go to the bank and tax the money which is not there but loaned out on a mortgage then tax the money which the mau borrows but does not own -why this is simply absurd when Section 1 says property sba'l be taxed in proportion to its valuo It will be the duty of the Legislature under the 13th section to pass laws to carry out tlie pruvisions of this Article and un ioubtedly ono of them will be that bank doposits shall be taxed but once which would be in conformity wit' Section 1 of the Article on itm-ttue aud Imatiou Citizen FOREIGN NEWS DEArillg
