It has been bitterly op- posed by the corporations. The adop- tion of such a tax as proposed would jncrease the state’s revenue by a jarge sum, larger than by any other method, it is claimed. The “‘corporate excess” tax the intangible value of corpora-~ tons represented by the difference between their capital and outstanding debts and their tangible property and i venl estate. The original hill pro- vided for a tax on one-half of one cent. on the so-called corporate excess. is a tax on State Tax Hearing., ot committee yesterday held a hea on the Dbill for the wvying of a regular two-mill state tax. The bill w not as bitterly opposed as it w expected. Repre- sentatives from veral of the small towns objected, however, tax unless, the assembly hausted all other methods Ying money. The bill however, by Judge A ertson, and Arthur C. Haven, who said that this was the proper way for the state ’ to raise money and not at the expense of the corporations entirely. Judge Rob- ertson said he thought a two or three mill state tax would be a fair one. Representative Perry asked if they thought such a tax.would be very popular in New Haven. Judge Rob- ng has ex- of rais- was favored, Graves, of New ertson said he didn’t think it would. Tax Commissioner William H. Cor- bin and Deputy State Tr eaa\u er Marsh also favored the bill. Wants New Computing Mcthod. Several bills for a method of computing the state were favored by Commissioner bin. He proposed in one of bills to apportion the tax on the basis of the towns’ revenue instead of on their grand lists. He said he thought the grand lists in many of the are lower than they should be. the income, the grand list, the state would get much more nearly its fair revenue. In the income he would include the amounts paid to the towns by state as their share of certain porations’ taxes. He suggested that the grants by the state to the towns for school purposes might also properly be included as income in this sense. Another change in these towns By instead of cor. also bill he favored would in- clude in the grand lists of the towns the stock held by residents of the towns in corporations taxed by the state. This would mean a large in- crease in the grand lists of many of the towns. Alling’s Bill Up Today. The bill introduced by John . Alling of New Haven which provides that the revenue derived from the taxation of stock life and stock fire insurance companies go entirely to the state instead of mostly to the towns, has been set down far hearing before the finance committee tcday. The bill would immediately increase the state’s revenue by about $750,000, it is claimed. Several hundred people Tfrom Nor- wich thronged the capitol yesterday af- ternoon to attend the hearing before the legislative committee on new towns and probate districts on the bill to cut qffza piece of the present town of Nofwich into a new town to be knuwn as “Old Norwich.” The part | FOOD SOURING IN | STOMACH CAUSES INDIGESTION, GAS “Pnpc's%;pcpsln" ends all distress in five “minutes. stome Wonder what upset your stomach-— which portion of the food ~did the damage—do you?
