“It is quite evident that Mr. Snider has thought profoundly and as a rule clearly of the momentous events of which he writes, and if too frequently he leaves the impression of straining after effect, he undoubtedly contrives to set the essentials forth in bold relief.”

Snider, Guy Edward. Taxation of the gross receipts of railways in Wisconsin. *$1. Macmillan.
6–46362.
A monograph whose main thesis is “that the gross receipts tax is the superior tax for railroads, and that the rejection of that tax, for the ad valorem system in Wisconsin was a mistake.” (Ann. Am. Acad.)
“Very painstaking, and in many respects excellent study.”

“This paper presents numerous facts of interest to the student of taxation and is valuable as an investigation of original sources. The fundamental defect in the author’s argument is that it fails to recognize the necessity of considering the taxation of railways as a part of a general system of taxation.” Robert Morris.
