collection of revenues. This is not very feasible.

The same thing is true with insurance taxes where you have
|
|
3
|
got the regulatory factor involved there, and the collec-
|
|
4
|
tion of taxes is a very small part of this. In other
|
|
5

words, you add very little to the duties to collect the
|
|

tax, but if you separate these now, you are separating

the thing.

|
|

|
MR. NOSSEL: No, that is collected by us on
|
|
19
|
certification from them. They do collect certain fran-
|
|
20
|
chise taxes. This could be very well brought together.

THE CHAIRMAN: That is a matter of statutory
