IHE REPORT TO BIZ PRESENTED IL A FEW DAYS
SUGGESTED LEGIsLAT ON-LLABILITY OF STOCK
HOLDERs-UNEQUAL TAXATION

TIE REPORT TO BE PRESENTED IN A FEW Days
SUGGESTED LEGIsLAT ON-LLABILTTY OF STOCK
HOLDERs-CNEQUAL TAXATION
ALBANY, Jan. 2.-Superintendent Ellis of the
Banking Department will present mis- report respecting
the state banks the Legislature in few days. In ii
he Will repeat several Of the suggestions he has made TO
the Legislature yearly reports before needed
reforms the laws relating to the banks. but which the
Legislature has neglected to adopt One Of these sug
esfions il that relating to the conflicting laws about
banks accumulated since 1880. II would much simplify
banking If these laws repealed and logical code
put III their place. Another and far more important
suggestion will be one asking that the Legislature define
by law the liability Of stockholders for the debts
OF free bank organized under the general law. The
State Constitution provides in Art. 3 Section :, that
stockholders OF banking associations issuing bank notes
shall De lOnsibe to the amount of their respective
share or shares Of stock" The state banks do
not "A "a well known, now issue bank notes
, In 1874, hghen the Farmers and Mechanics Bank
Of Rochester failed, however its stockholders argued
that as the bank did npt issue notes did not I'M
der th- obligation Of the Constitution, and that they
were nor liable for the debts OF the bank beyond the
amount of their stOc. In other words they held that
they could legally compelled to lose more than the
money tles had invested The superintendent asks the
Lesis,ature to pass a law defining the responsibility
of these banks He viii also suggest that laws be passed
preventing private bankers from doing business under
coruorte titles The attention Of the Legislature Will
b. called to the nect ssity OF protecting banks
and banking associations from higher rate
Of taxation than other kinds OF property
are compelled TO bear. The. assessors rarely
rte real estate at than 40 per cent OF its actual
value in tncir taxation list but banking capital is taxed
NJ its fun value The Superintendent is of opinion that
either all kinds Of property should be taxed at s full
value or that banking capital should enjoy the same rate
of exemption Is other kiuds of property.
