Of the United States court handed
down decision recently that is Of
great importance to the taxpayers Of
the state. The question at issue in.
volved the right Of the state to tax
property held within its borders BY q
nonresident, represented by resident
agent, and the decision holds that such
right exists. Z, .,3s.. ... &.
The decision ia sweeping in Its effect,
and will have an important bearing
upon the busines of the trust companies
and loan agencies. For instance, If
Mr.. Brown of Vermont invests SIC. 900
In Minnesota mortgages through the
Surety Trust company, he will be liable
for taxes on his Investments in this
state. The same question has come up
frequently in the district court, but has
always been decided in favor Of the in.
vestor, and in this way the state has
lost hundreds Of Thousands Of dollars
each year.
By far the greater per cent of Mime.
sota's mortgage indebtedness is held
outside the state, and the new ruling
will mean largely increased revenues,
with q probability Of a lower rate next
