BANKS AMI

Mr.. Chartz, in his defense of the
banks and their relations with the
assessor, Gus the attempt of the
banks to escape taxation on the ground
that they are doing no worse than the
railroads and that they will march up
and obey the law when other people
are compelled to de the some. This
sort of argument coming from an at
torney at law is as novel as it is in
teresting. He will hardly find any
one else, even in his own profession,
who will endorse the plea that evas-
ion of law is excusable on the ground
that other people are equally guilty.
The banks, however,, are fast be-
coming the refuge of the tax dodgers.
The man who has ten thousand dol
lars deposits it in the bank and re-
c%eives, say three per cent per annum
on his deposit. In addition to this he
is enabled to dodge the tax collector
and save three or four per cent more.
Thus his money, with no effort on his
part nets him six or sever per cent.
The bank also gets as much more of
it by loaning it out at interest. not al
ways On mortgage security, which
can be taxed, but secured by notes
and sometimes by deeds. which thus
enable the bark to conduct a very
safe and re.nunerative business which
can easily escape taxation.
The law says that the stock OF bank
ing corporations shall be taxed. This
is but fair, as a bank to have the on
fdence of the community must have
sufficient capital stock and it must be
paid up stock. 1t is this meney paid
into the business of the bank by the
stockholders. which attracts the de
positor to the bank. for if the institu
ton had no none Oh hand to repre-.
sem the paid up stock it could do nc
business.
This stock, represented by so much
money, is taxable under the law and
no amount of discussion can alter it,
The assertion that forcing men t
swear to their tax returns is produc
tive of perjury and all that is foreign
to the discussion. People should no
be allowed to escape taxation O
swearing to their property on the ples
that if compelled to make the aflda
Wit they will commit perjury. Wit
nesses who testify in court might d;
we'll be excused from taking the oatl
on the same plea.
It is but fair to the banking institu

to state that they do not endorse

Indian instinctively dropped his fishing

cougar was on his back and a desperate

twisted an arm around the cougars neck

savage animal tore and lacerated the
Indians back with his claws and
crunched his long teeth through his
wrist. The willy Siwssh, as the struggle
went on, managed to pull his antagonist
