REMOVING BANK TAXES.
pRoBABrR ACTION OF THE WAYS AND MEANS COM
MITrEg on THE BILLS TO REPEAL THE TAX ON
BANK CAPITAL AND DEPOSITS.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEI
WASHINGTON, Dec 23.-Treasury officials claim
to have assurances that the Ways and Means CON-
mittee will report favorably upon the bills which
propose to repeal the statutes that require Natonai
and other banks to pay taxes upon capital ana de-
posts, and which impose cent bank check stamp.
Thesubcommittee to which this subject was referred
is composed of Messrs Carlisle, chairman, Morrison
of Illinois. Kelley Conger and Dunnell. VI these IL
is said that all except M,rrson favor the bills. VI
the whole Committee of Fifteen 1t Is believed that
there are certainly eight constituting MAJORITY
who favor the bills. These eight arc said to be
NJ ssrs. Wood G bson Carlisle Kelley. Conger. Frye
and Dunnell, and probably some of the remaining
seven members. In the House these measures Will
have very strong support.
The amount If taxes collected from National banks
on capital and deposits is $4,400.00O; on capital
and deposits of State banks, $3,300,OOO; from
check stamps. 81, 800. 900; making total from
these sources of So 500 0OO 1t is also proposed to
repeal the tax on matches and medicines that the
aggregate of the proposed repeal will amount to
about 81 100000.
There is no serious expectation that the tax Will
be taken off the circulation of National banks Such
a proposition would not be practicable win this
Congress. Treasury officials however, think that
if Congress shall remove the tax on capital and
deposits. the National banks will not be as likely to
reiInquish their clrculatons' even IL the Infee rer
Cent Funding bill shall pass.
Commissioners Raum believes that there might be
more extensive reduction of taxes. aud would even
favor reduction of rty-ve millions, remittlng all
internal revenue taxes, except those on wblskey.
