The court of appeals by the unani- mous decision of both Democratic and Republican judges has upheld the con- stitutionality of the tax on stock-trans- fers which the Republicans made a part of the taxation system of tlie state last year. This bill became a law de- spite the strongest opposition Wall street Could exert, and its opponents .m companies made a bold stand in tile\ senate last week and secured the adop- tion of an amendment to what is known as the \big insurance bill'* which was of vital-importance to the -policy ^hohierfi.^4l-he—Ar-iHstr«ug^com^ mfftee has been aiming to give, policy holders a controlling voice in the inan- agement of the~mufual compaiTies by allowing them\ to participate\ \inMhe election of directors. In-order to make this privilege of value It would be necessary for the policy holders to get a list of all policy holders in whatever predicted that it would be set aside by the courts. The Republican leaders, realizing that scats on the New York. Stock Exchange were selling for $90,- 000 each, determined that the interests which this investment represented -%\ should pay a fair proportion of taxa- tion.

When this measure came up in the senate an amendment was adopted which would have left in the control of the present management the lists of policy holders, so that the present direct- ors, being the only ones in possession of such lists, would be able to resist the efforts of the policy holders to have a voice in the management of the com- panies. Senator Armstrong. Senator Tully and other leaders in the tight for in- surance reform appealed to Governor Higgins to aid them in protecting the rights of the policy holders. The gov- -ernor—issued- a—statement leTfying no. \questibrf in the minds of the senators as to his attitude regarding the point at issue. He declared: \I learned with regret of tlie adop- tion, by the senate yesterday of an an^h^iiciit to the bill amending the insurance law generally which took out of the Irill the provision whereby policy holders were assured of information as to the names and residences of their associates. .'.'The progress of the insurance leg- islation reported by the Armstrong -committee—is foHow-ed—by the people- with the keenest interest. I feel that stitutional insures the continuance of that measure upon the statute books. As a revenue raiser it has proved even more successful than its advocates had hoped, and the probabilities are that It will bring upward of $0,000,000 a year into tho state treasury. Tax Dodgers Must Pay. By signing Senator Saxe's bill, to compel nonresidents to pay taxes on tho personal property owned by them in this state tho governor has made it possible for the local assessors, par- ticularly In New York city, to tax a large amount of the personal property of wealthy Now Yorkers ^hich here- tofore has escaped taxation. For many .years it has been the custom of mil- JlmnrtiT.s to~clRimz3T5lu^ng[zfarzRiiod^ Island. Connecticut\ and\ New Jersey in order to escape paying taxes on per- sonal property in the metropolis. Ev- ery year those millionaires have sworn off taxes\ amounting to a very large sum on the ground t£at they did not live in Now York city, although nearly all of them own fine houses there and spend a largo part of the year in the city. Under the Saxe bill they will be able no longer to escape taxation on this pretext, as their personal property can be taxed in.
