The corporation stork tx is meas ured by the dividend declared, and if no dividend is declared the stock is aDpralaed and assessed at fixed rates When a small dividend is declared daring the year, tbe tax may be very mnch out of proportion to tbe vloe of the stock. To a7oiii litis tbe stock of f,H corporations paying less than six per centnm dividend sbonld be appraised It is also a question, to be gravely coos;d?re4, whether tbe ta cm railroad corporations, nor paying only tte tai oh capital stock, sbonld not be reduced from "nine tenths of one mill upon its capital nuill ittl ram i'ut; jti ru.uiu u. dividend made or declared bv sacb company" to five-tenths of one mill and a gross receipt tax imposed sntC cient to produce a revenne enuI to such reduction.

To provide for that contingency, aud as a complement to the act of My 13, 1876, I recommend tbe passage uf an act for tbe incorpora tion aud regulation of ravines fund, prohibiting them from bec-fojiu banks of discount, and c nuuin ' them to their proper object tbe safe ke,iiug uf tbe savings of tbe f ertile.

Tbe mercenary spirit aud desire of gain should te taken out of ibeir manage ment, no that only men of tbe purest motives aud bi if Deal integrity will become managers and directors of ibem. Tbe salieut features of law i but would commend itself to my judgment, are these: There should be no stockholders expecting a return for cap itttl invested; tbe corpora ors ebuuld be men of character aud stand iug, having no pecuuiury interest in the business. Tbe amount to bo de posited by one individual in any one year t-hould be limited. Tbe inver-i-meui of deposits should be restricted ty law to first-class securities and measures taken to have tbis provid luii strictly complied vtiib. (juner iy cittieuients should be lectured to e published. The iutere.-i paid to uepositors should be limited in gener-j ul to about four per centum per an uum; ibe balance o iuierest aridiog Irom investments would be used to pay salaries and other ruuniag tx penses, and to t Tdate a ra.p'us luod to provide for extrai.r unary dcprecin tious and expense?. Tbe cuiplus fund might be limited to ctrtain per centage of assets, allowing the board jf director or trustees to increase the rate of annual interest w henever the surplus sufficiently exceeded such proporuou.
