been consolidated for several weeks. The

improvement, but in each instance i'm

THE TAXATION OF BROKERS' DEPOSITS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Colonel Moul-
ton, Of Cincinnati, had an interview with
Commissioner Raum to-day upon the sub
ject Of taxation of brokers' and viii pre-
sent brief giving the views and claims of
the Cincinnati brokers' The Commissioner
reiterated his statement of yesterday, that
the whole question of the taxation of
brokers hinged upon a nice distinction in
their method. of doing business; that while
there were many brokers who could not be
held liable to taxation as bankers. there
were many who We're clearly doing the
business of bankers within the definition
and intent of the statute. The question
will be held under advisement for the pres
ent. The Commissioner lladhere to his
former rulings in regard to the banks, and
expects to recover a large amount of back
taxes which through inadvertence or mis-
conception OF the terms of the law has
hitherto been withheld. In the case ofone
bank in New York $125 900 has been found
to be due, and the bank officers have ex-
pressed their willingness to pay it
at once. In many other cases ex-
aminations by the revenue agents
have so far progressed that assessments
can at once be made. In almost every in
stance the banks have -cheerfully permitted
the examination and have expressed their
Willingness to pay whatever taxes might be
due as soon as the amount could be ascer-
tanned In no case, however, will any
harsh or summary measures be enforced
against either banks or brokers.
It is understood that the Commissioner
will decide to assess the bankers in accord.
ance with their suggestion, on their bal
ances, and that he viii probably exempt
the call loans of the brokers from taxation.
The taxes on deposits of banks and bank
ers not national, will probably be levied
and collected in future as are those on the
deposits of national banks, which under
the direction of Treasurer Gilfllan yield
800, 900 year Commissioner Raum has
advised with Treasurer Gilfllan, and is
preparing a system of assessment analo7
gous to that which the Treasurer employs.
The banks will probably arrange individu-
ally with the Commissioner the payment of
their back taxes and the collection of their
tax in future. The Manhattan bank, of
New York win be perhaps the first to
iquidate its Indebtedness, which amounts
to about $3.50, ,000
