The Bank Tax Question.


POINTS SETTLED BY COMMISSIONER RAUM-LARGE
ARREARS TO BE PAID.
The private bank tax question which was ar
gued at length before Commissioner Raum has
been pretty nearly settled by that officer The
main point under discussion yesterday, which
involved difference as to whether checks de-
posted should be included in the taxable re-
turns of the banks daily or whether the balance
after the checks in favor Of and against a bank
had been adjusted the next day through the
clearing house should be the basis of taxable de-
posits. has been decided. Commissioner Raum
has concluded to accept the clearing house
statements in this particular. The question of
back taxes is not changed. The banks will have
to paw them. Assessments for back taxes
amounting to several hundred thousand dollars,
due by New York banks. will be made during to-
Sl25.OOO on this account. The figures of
81 100000. which the commissioner yesterday
put as the amount which would be collected
from banks in cities where there have been in
vestigations, will be reached. The question
which involves definition as to what taxation
under the banking laws a broker is liable to is
yet undecided.
There will be no further hearing in behalf OF
the banks before Commissioner Raum.

Hubbard, .as about 100000 miles. The next
return Of the comet took place In 1862 and
was looked for with great interest IL was
found sill divided and the two parts far
more widely separated than In 1916, the dis
lance being increased TO 100000 miles.
Sometimes one part was the brighter and
sometimes the other, so that II was impossi-
