STREET FA LWAY TAX enitin ts Proposed Plan of ~ Representative Odell. EFFORT 0 SECURE MORE REVENUE Representatives of Local Corpora- tions Testify. HOUSE COMMITTEE MEETS The House District committee today en- tered upon the consideration of a subject which is deemed to be of considerable im- portance by some of the members. It is a Proposition to change the method of taxing street railway corporations in the District, with a view to increasing the tax. Representative Odell of New York, a member of the committee, is the author ot the proposed plan. He advanced it today at a meeting of the subcommittee on rail- ways, called for the purpose of taking up the matter. Mr. Odell’s proposition, in brief, involves two ideas: 6 First. To assess the real estate of street ‘| railways upon the same basis that other Property in the District is taxed. Second. To levy a graded tax upon the stock of the corporation, in addition to the realty tax, based upon the earning capacity of the roads. Mr. Odell contends that the railroads do not pay their fair share of taxes in pro- portion to the benefits they enjoy, and that in this respect there is discrimination in their favor as against the people and other corporations, At the outset of the hearing today he dis- claimed any intention of aiming his pro- Posed reform at the Capital Traction Com- although he had addressed some of his criticiem to that company in the past. Mr. Odell then offered his bill amending the law which will be introduced in the House. It was as follows: Mr. Odell’s Bill. Section 1. Every corporation, joint stock company or association incorporated, or- ganized or formed under, by or pursuant to the laws applicable to the District of Columbia, shall pay to the collector of taxes annually for the franchises which have heretofore or which may hereafter be granted to operate street railroads within the District of Columbia, an annual tax to be computed upon the basis of the amount of its capital stock and upon each dollar of such amount at the rate of one- quarter of a mill for each one per centum of dividends made and declared upon its capital stock during each year ending with the 31st day of December, if the dividends amount to 6 or more than 6 per centum on the par value of such capital stock. If such dividend or dividends amount to less than 6 per centum on the par value the capital stock, the tax shall be at the rate of one and one-half mills upon the mar- ket value of such stock, to be determined by a sworn appraisement made by the president and treasurer of such corpora- tion and filed annually with the District Commissioners on or before the ist day of December in each year. Such appraised value, however, shall in no case te less than the price réceived dur- ing each year from the sales of the stock where such sales are made. If such cor- pcration, joint stcck company or associa- tion shall have more than_one kind of cap- ital stock, and upon one of such kinds of stock a dividend or dividends amounting to 6 or more than 6 per centum upon the par value ther2of has been made or de- clared, and upon the other no dividend has been made or declared, or the dividend or dividends made or declared thereon amount to less than 6 rer centum upon the par value therocf, then the tax shall be at the rate of 4 of a mill for each 1 per centum> of dividends made or declared upon the capital stcck upon the par value of which the dividend or dividends made or declared amount to 6 or more than 6 per centum, and in addition thereto a tax shall be charged at the rate of 1% mills upon every dollar of the valuation made in accordance with the provisions of this act of the cap- ital stock upon which no dividend was made or deziared, or upon the par value of which the dividend or dividends made or declared did not amount to 6 per centum. Every railroad corporation, joint stock ccmpany or association organized, incor- perated or formed under the laws of any other state or country shall pay a like tax for the privilege of exercising its corporate franchises or carrying on its business in such corporate or organized capacity in the District of Columtia. Section 2. That the said road or roads shall be deemed real estate, and they, to- gether with the other real property and the personal property of said corporation, joint stock company or association, shall be lia- ble to taxation as other real estate and per sonal property in the said District of Co- Imbia; and the stock of said corporation, joint stock company or association shall be assessed in block at its true market value and the tax thereupon collected from said corporation, joint stock company or asso- ciation. From it, however, shall be de- ducted the assessed valuation of such real estate as may be assessed against or stand in the name of said corporation, joint stock company or association upon the tax books of the District of Columbia. Section 3. All acts or parts of acts incon- sistent with this act are hereby repealed. Effect of the Bill. Mr. Odell said the effect of the bill would be that the roads would pay their propor- tion of real estate taxes and would pay a tax on the assessed value of stock. Mr. Babcock asked what would be the effect in the case of some roads in this city whose stock is of a nominal value and the roads bonded to the full extent. Mr. Odell said there is no stock of a live corporation which is absolutely valueless. He held that the conditions existing here are not different from those in New York state, and this bill is copied after the New York law, which had brought millions of dollars to the treasury of New York. The railroads of this city, he said, pay a tax of one-third the amount paid by Baltimore roads. Mr. Richardson suggested that the Balti- tore roads charge a straight fare of 5 cents, while Washington roads give six tickets for 25 cents. Mr. King of Utah said the New York law applied to steam railroads, and he sug- gested there was a difference between the conditions. In the first case, the roads own- ed a right of way, usually 100 feet wide, through the state; owned depots, ground and other property. In Washington the streets belcng to the United States, and the railways merely have an easement for their tracks. Doubt was expressed by Mr. Richardson whether the proposed graded tax on stock valuation would produce as much revenue to the city as the present 4 per cent tax on gross receipts. President Dunlop’s Statement. President Dunlop of the Capital Traction Company said that the old Washington and Georgetown rallroad paid for years, voluntarily, without requirement of law, 4 per cent on its gross receipts and the reg- ular tax on Its real estate. Under the consolidation the road still pays the 4 per cent on gross earnings and the real estate tax. Mr. Odell said the old Washington and Georgetown corporation paid a tax of $25,- 000 a year on $500,000 capitalization, while the reorganized company pays only $47,000 on a capitalization of $12,000,000, Mr. Dunlop replied that the company had spent millions in equipping the road with cable power since the italiza- tien, which money had been furnished. by the stockholders. Mr. Odell suggested that there were Rae Shoe outstanding on the con- “Do you think,” asked Mr. King, “that fou are paying your proportion of taxes with other corporations in this city?” - eS certainly think so,” replied Mr, Dun- i Bi will. venture the A Every Pair of Ladies’ Shoes. - for 97c.! | : No reservation!.
