Taxation 81 National Ranks.

The question of the taxation Of National
Banks is now attracting particular atten-
lion, and facts are being developed that
are new TO the public. The rate of inter
est is of great importance to business men,
and as u matter of course banks live
principally by loanlng money. Now it
they aIe taxed three and ODe-half pc:
cent on their capital this taxation must be
added 10 the Interest they charge borrow
ers, and the mercllan: who torrOws, must
make his customers pay. In the end,
therefore the consumer pays the tax. We
quote from the report of John j. Knox,
Comptroller of the Currency:
The Government is receiving revenue
frOn the banks which il more than equal
to all taxes paid by them before the w"r;
while the States are also Increasing the
burdens were previously rs great as
could be borne. Within the past two
years seventy-one banks, and since the
org aniZarion of the system two hundr'
and wi hanks. have gone into voluntary
liquidation, chiefly on account Of exces
sive taxation. while duri < the last year
fewer banks have been nrganized than 10
any previous year since 1860; and unless
some favorable legislation is Obtained,
very considerable number of banks will
retire from the system, to engage In
private banking. In previous reports the
Comptroller has called tie attention of
Congress to the fact that the amount of
tax 10 wh,ch the National Banks are sub
ject (the average rate. including State and
National, being about three and OIe la +
per cen,um per annuni) 10 much greater
than that imposed on any other capital in
the country, The reason for this will be
apparent when it is remembers that th,
da'a for the assessment and taxation Of
national hanks can always he Obtained
from their published stSt' ments, while
The amount of the capital of othe- cor
;,orations. private firms. and individuals
cannot be accurately determined The
tax ON bank deposits was essentially
war tax, and such imposi.ions having
been long since removed from every
other sim lar interest, the Comptroller is
fully of the opinion that justice to all
parties requires its removal from this one
also. The recommendation for the re.
peal of the provision imposing tax upon
hank deposits. and also of the one re-
curing the affixing of two.cent stamp
upon bank checks. Is renewed. If, in The
Judgment of Congress. sufficient
amount Of revenue for the support Of the
can be more tQui.ably de
rived from other sources.

THE INSANE.

1t is now clearly apparent that the PEG
pie of Montana have awakened their
legislators 10 the fact that it is a public
duty to attend to the wants of this help
less portion of our population. Two bills
have been introduced into the Legislature,
the provislons of which are to us unknown
at this writing. but it is supposable that
ample provision has been made tor the
erection Of suitable buildlnge. Next
comes their location; and here is point
that should be well considered. Where
can the necessaries If life be procured the
cheapest? The answer comes naturally,
at that point where they are produced.
Where Gao the labor of those who are in
a state that they can labor, be best util.
lied, and for what industry are they best
calculated and will be most conducive TO
their restoration? Outdoor labor is GER
taiuly most healthy for them, and the
products of the farm would most certain
~ be Of tue most utility, and 90 farther
towards making the institution self -sus-
tanning than any other. All these con-
illusions then point with irresistible force
to the fact that Bozeman is the proper
point at which to locate the Asylum.
And again, Bozeman has SO far received
nothing from the hands of either the Uni
ted States or Territorial government in
the shape of the location Of public build
ings Deer Lodge has the Peniten,iary
and Helena the Assay office. 1t will not
be argued for moment that Virginia
City would be proper place; neither
would Missoula. We therefore submit
the claims of BOzeman. confident that the
whole p, ople will recognize their justness.
