These figures show a continuous increase since 1894, with the exception only of the year 1907, when there was a decrease of ￡102,000 as compared with 1906, due to the activity of the railway companies in appealing against excessive assessments. The advance in the total paid in 1910 over the total for 1894 was no less than ￡2,286,000, or 77.9 per cent.

It should be remembered, also, that the figures given relate to sums paid for rates and taxes, and do not include the expenses incurred by the railway companies in 佛山桑拿会所美女图片 respect both to their rates and taxes departments (conducted by highly skilled officers) and to litigation arising on their appeals against assessments they consider unfair. The total expenditure under these two heads has been estimated at over ￡80,000 per annum.

Since comparisons are frequently made between English and German railway rates, with a view to showing that the former are higher than the latter, it may be of interest to compare, also, the amount paid for taxation by the railways of the United Kingdom with the corresponding payments of the Prussian State railways. The length of line of the two systems is approximately the same; yet while the taxation of the British system comes to ￡5,000,000 a year, that of the {366}Prussian State railways is only ￡750,000 a year. Naturally, when a Government owns the railways, it is 佛山桑拿哪里好玩 much more interested in checking excessive taxation of the lines by the local authorities than when the railways are owned by commercial companies; and one of the questions to which proposals in regard to the nationalisation of the British railways gives rise is whether, when the Government owned the railways, they would be willing to continue the payment from the railway revenues of all the taxation which local authorities are now able to exact from the railway companies. Presumably not; and in that case the trader, whether or not he got lower railway rates from the State, would probably have to pay higher local rates in order to make up for the tolls no longer levied, or levied only to a much less extent, on the railway traffic.

The growth in the payments made by individual companies for rates and taxes between 1902 and 1910佛山夜生活兼职mm may be illustrated by giving the figures for the London and North-Western, the Great Western and the Midland Companies respectively:—

In addition to the items coming under the head of “rates and taxes” the railway companies still have to pay to the Government the passenger duty of which I have spoken on page 263, their function 佛山夜生活网 here, presumably, being that of honorary tax-gatherers who are required to get the money from 佛山桑拿第一站 the British public in the interests of the national exchequer, and save the Government the cost and the trouble of collection. The passenger duty thus collected by them in 1910 came to ￡319,404, the total contributions of the railways to the public finances for that year being thus increased to ￡5,421,715.

This question of the taxation of railways is a matter of material concern as regards (1) the direct results thereof on {368}(a) rates and charges and (b) dividends paid—or not paid; and (2) the general policy of the State towards the whole problem of internal communication.
