The reply OF the Treasurer of the United States
10 the meeting of Bank officers, excites good deal
of comment The First National not wishing to
contend with the Department, has already Te-made
ITS report and paid the tax upon the construction
of the law as determined by Mr.. Spinner. It's re-
port Of gross deposits is now $3.50 G42; previously
reported, s3,l, $40 OG; Increase, S9s2,3Ol 81. The
additional duty on which is s2,l55 IS, making the
total tax of the six months $i2, ,ll5 81. This bank
keeps no brokers' accounts and is touched lightly
in comparison 10 banks having the accounts OF
large speculative houses. One bank Of this kind Is
to pay under the new construction of the law s6s,
600 additional tax. Under Mr. Spinner's ruling
there will be a contraction in speculative transac-
ton. from the obvious reason that the banks can
not afford TO pay the tax upon deposits growing on
of the present system Of doing business.
