Taxi-nos is run Urn-nu STATES. — The manner in which taxation bears on the Rail- ways in the United States is tli stated ~- “ 'I'Iic axles of an engine are first t. ed in the form ufpig iron; than as barirun; tlicn,agiiu when wrought iiitu the form ofnn axle. as a forcing; then when filled to the wheels, six per cent. more as a. manufacture.- nud again .lhc llt‘li time, when allixcd to the cugiue. another six per cent . as a part ol'thu comph-t- cd nmchine, the tax itsclf'in cach emu: beinp: reckoned as a part thc incrcusvd value on the next successive aucuuient. Then. a tax of ii per ccnt. ll imposed upon tlia gross carn- Inits of that machine, and again 6 per cent. more on net earnings or dividend, and finally to complete the culmination. the engine is again cancelled as the. corporate valuation on which the Company pays taxes to tho l'utII- innnwcalth." That is assuredly reducing the oystcm of taxation to a science.
