A QUESTION OF TAXATION.
Peculiar Suit by the First National Bank
Against the County Treasurer.

The First National Bank, of this city, has
brought suit against County Treasurer Mothers
head and his successors in Office to perpetualy
enjoin them from collecting certain taxes. The
com plant alleges that a number of stockholders
in the bank are indebted in various sums, and
that this Indebtedness should be deducted from
the value of their stock, and only the residue
taxed. 1t further AYERS that the assessor and
the auditor do not consider such a deduction
legal, and that the various gentlemen are
charged with the full amount of their stock
the duplicate and taxed accordingly, wherefore
an injunction is asked TO prevent the collection
of the taxes. According to the complaint the
stock was assessed at 800 a share,
and the following persons, among others,
W. W. Johnston, 25 shares; Fred. Knefer, 10
shares; A. L. Wright, so shares; John c. Wright,
so shares: NJ A. Downing. 100 shares; w. L.
d. Lynch, l20 shares II. W. Moore, so shares;
j. G. McCutchen, 1l6 shares; Julia A. Root, 20
shares; John NJ. CASTOR, 80 shares and A. j. Hay
$50 shares. 1t is further represented that, of
the above stockholders, the following had bona
tide Indebtedness to the amount named and had
been dedheted: r. s. Hin, $4,000; W " Johns,
ton, $4,000; Fred Kneher, $4,000; A.
l.. Wright, $1,000: John c. Wright, $1,000;
NJ. A. Downing, $4,000; NJ. E. Gihson,i$2, 800.
NJ. L. Pierce, $4,000 A. ID. Lynch, $4,000 ii. w.
Moore, $1,000; j. c. McCutcheon, $1,000; julia
A. Root, $3.50; John NJ. CASTOR, So, $50; A. J. Hay,
$500. The point involved in the suit is thus
stated: "Plaintif further says that said as
SCISSOR and auditor. In making up the assessment
of national bank stock for taxation for the year
1882, adopted and uniformly acted upon the
principle that the owner of national bank stock
could not deduct his bona fide Indebtedness
from the valuation thereof for the purposes of
taxation. as in the case of credits or other mon
eyed capital; that numerous owners of such
stock requested and demanded OF said officers
that their bona tide Indebtedness be deducted
from the assessment of their said bank stock,
but the said auditor and assessor refused to
make such deductions, willfully and persistent
ly giving ont that no such deductions would be
allowed from national bank stock" Lamb and
Mason are attorneys for the plaintiff.
