TAXATION OF NATIONAL BANK
SHARES.
Important DecI,IOuat Chicago.

CHICAGO, August 10.
Judge BlOdgCll, Of the United States
Circuit Court, in the case Of consolidation
by thirteen national banks against the
City Collector, decided that the shares of
national banks cannot bO assessed at q
higher valuation than the par value there.
Of; that the tax "a in the nature Of a roy.
atty upon the UNCONVENTIONAL value Of
each share, respectively; that If & share
could he assessed at any other value that
would involve n curtailmGnt Of the actual
property Of the bank and reduction
ihereirOm and so much thereof as IL In.
vested in United States bonds. This the
Supreme Court Of the United States has
decided cannot DO done, for the reason
that q tax upon q share was intended 10 bO
upon the new use to which the capitalist
put his bonds by embarking them In n
national bank. Considered, therefore, in
this light, the tax could DO levied only
upon the nominal value Of each share,
whether share was actually worth more
or less than par Tho court also held
that the State law Of 1867, providing for
the taxation Of bank shares, TO be wholly
void, because It provides for tho taxing Of
shareholders where the bank Is located,
instead Of the district and shareholders
residence. The taxing power can only
DO exercised upon persons or property
within It's Jurisdiction. Stock cannot be
taxed on account Of ils locality, and any
tax imposed upon II must OF necessity be
COdlned 10 the person Of the owner So
tar as the law Of June, 1867, directs the
assessment Of shares owned by resi-.
dents Of n city who reside outside the
county, city, town or district where the
bank Il located, Is in conflict with the
constitutional provision, and therefore
void. Being void and imperative to this
extent, Il Is also so rs Ia the owners OF
shares who reside In the same place where
the bank Is located, because the rule Of
uniformity would DO violated In taxing
them and not the others, There being
then no rated law In force, the ono In this
State by which the shares Olstock IN ma.
tiOnal banks belonging to residents Of the
State, can bo taxed, but the shares owned
by nOn.residents cannot be taxed, because
such regulation would DO In conflict
with the provision Of the Federal Constl.
tuition, providing that the citizens Of each
State shall be entitled 10 all lhe privileges
and lmmuntlCs OF the citizens ol the
several States.
