THE NATIONAL BANKS,
Hearing Before Commissioner Raum Up
on Taxing Deposits.

Hearing Before Commissioner Raum Up
on Taxing Deposits.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-There was a hear
ing before Com missioner Raum this morning
on the subject of taxation of bank deposits.
Gentlemen were present representing the
banks of New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Cincinnati William Dowd and Il K. South
mayd, attorneys for the North American Bank
of New York, presented the case on behalf OF
the banks, and urged that the only equitable
basis for determining the bank deposits sub
iect to taxation is the clearing house state
ment each day, showing, as it does, the exact
condition of the deposits of the several banks
for the day before. At the conclusion of the
hearing upon this point, Algernon 5. Sullivan
of New York representing the bankers OF
New York and Boston, presented the views OF
his clients. He explained in detail the tram
sactions involved in stock transfers and desired
the Commissioner to recognize the distinction
between transactions and actual deposits IN
basing taxation of the business OF brokers.
He claimed that the intent OF all revenue law
was to tax property and not transactions. ne
instanced the purchase for customer OF lOUU
shares of stock by broker. The customer
might give his check for $4,000 (the margin),
which the broker would deposit in the bank,
and though he gave his check for $4,000 to
complete the transfer it would be entirely IN
the nature of a call loan, and such checks
should not be subject to taxation when depos-
tied. In an active day the stock in question
might be transferred ten or twelve times IN
volviug perhaps a million or more upon paper
when not hundredth part of that amount OF
capital was in actual use. The brokers' ne
said, already pay double taxa tax on their
capital employed and again as this capital is
deposited in some bank subject to their drafts.
1t appears in the bank deposits and pays
another tax He believed the same rule
should apply to the brokers as to the banks.
that the call loans should not be considered
subject to taxation, but simply the actual cash
deposited. The hearing was continued I'M
til after one o'clock this afternoon The gen.
eral subject being thoroughly discussed in an
informal and colloquial way, and at the con-
clusion the Commissioners stated that he would
carefully review the whole case.
