Taxing Bank Stock.

The problem of taxing bank stock, which
has SO long vexed assessors in this State.
may be solved by the State Board of Tax
alton. Efforts have frequently been made
to have the Legislature enact a law to
overcome the difficulty, but the efforts have
always failed. After long consideration
the State Board referred the question to
Major Carl Lentz as committee of one to
devise way cut. Major Lentz now thinks
he has found it, and this is it: He proposes
that the fiscal officer of each bank shall
furnish, under oath, to the State Board OF
Taxation statement showing the names
of the stock holders, together with their
residence and the amount of stock held by
each. This information will be compiled
for their guidance. In this way no holder
of stock will be able to escape assessment
In the case of nonresident stockholders a
continuance is favored of the present law
which provides that the tax shall be paid
by the bank in the municipality in which
the bank is located The recommendation
meets with the favor of the other members
and it undoubtedly will be incorporated in
the Boards annual message to the Legis
lature as worthy of being enacted into law
Another recommendation made by Major
Lentz is that bank stock should be assessed
uniformly with other property; that il
10 say, il other property is assessed at its
| full value then bank stock should be as
sessed at its full value. Secretary Usher, O
the State Board, estimates that fully two
thirds of the bank stock in the State escapes
taxation.
