raise materially the valuation OF the first

1T is reported that a conspiracy has
been formed to attack the foreign settle

it prudent to telegraph the facts to their

An important decision in the taxati

An important decision in the taxation
Of bank stock has Just been handed down
by Judge Campbell of Aberdeen which
we publish in full as it will probably
stand should it 20 to the supreme court
and affects almost every county in the
state. The case is entitled: Clara B.
McChesney VS.. Brown county and arose
out OF the fact that last September the
state board OF equalization materially
raised the valuation Of bank stocks to the
exclusion of other stocks or shares. The
banks of Aberdeen ref listed the taxes on
this basis and offered the tax on the
assessment returned by the county, and
rs they have now won, Aberdeen will lose
about $1,000 in taxes. The decision is
8 follows:
"In this case the principal controversy
is as to whether or not the state board OF
equalization has the power to subdivide
classes of property as they appear upon
the assessment rolls and are required by
law to appear, and then proceed to raiee
or lower some particular subdivision
