Such taxation not only discriminated in favor of foreign bondholders, but it tended also to impair the borrowing power of states and municipalities. The complete exemption on the part of the states of their own bonds and the bonds of their municipalities from the general property tax tended to overcome this difficulty without working any injustice to tax payers. It is still true, however, that the bonds of one state and its municipalities are taxable by another state when found in the hands of its citizens. Of course, such bonds are seldom found by the tax assessors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
