SEC. D. State records of corporations-Reports, and returns.

SEC. D. Corporate property as represented by stock or shares.

The important matters of corporate reports and returns received a special supplementary treatment. The several instruments, beginning with the charter or certificate of incorporation, which, under the laws of the State, go to make up what may be termed the State or official record of corporations, domestic or foreign, were set down in order, and, in connection with each document listed, notes in tabulated form

were made showing when and where the same is filed or recorded, and its contents, as required by law. An example of such table follows:

A similar treatment was given to the subject of taxation, and a simi[ar table prepared for each State with regard to corporate taxes and tax records. This table is designed to show, in briefest form, the entire scheme of corporate taxation in force in the State, together with the nature, contents, and custody of all records or returns required for purposes of taxation. An example of such table follows:

9. General remarks: The corporate excess return is made to assessor, who returns it to county clerk, who sends it to State auditor, who lays it before State board of equalization, who thereupon values such corporate excess and certifies same to local tax officers. Telegraph companies are taxed on corporate excess, but return to State auditor.
