banks are taxable at one hundred
per cent of their value This unwise
discrimination Tot only works an
unnecessary hardship upon our most
enterprising citizens but it has the
effect of keeping capital out of the
county and forcing Pottawatomie
farmers and business men to pay
tribute to the banks in other coun-
ties. IL forces our home bankers to
contribute an unjust proportion of
the territorial taxes. It benefits no
body and works a positive hardship
on every borrower and drives from
our midst the capital we need to de-
velop our resources and build up our
city and county.
We are reliably informed that the
fault, of this matter lays with the
county assessor who arbitrarily rails
ed the rate of bank assessments after
the deputy assessors had computed
the value and the basis of other prop
erty.

UNJUST TAX DIscRlMINArloN

(Shawnee Herald)
In examining a little into the sub
ject OF inequalities in tax assessments
in the territory the other day the
writer was surprised to note the un-
equal and unjust discrimination made
in some of the counties between diff
ferent kinds of property aadi between
the same property when fohnd in the
possession of different individuals OF
corporations.
One of the Illustrations is found in
the varied treatment which the as
SCISSORS in different counties have ac-
corded to bank stock ard other assets
connected with the banking business,
credits AMI loans,
Here are some figures obtained
from confidential but reliable sources;
Bank property in Blaines county
was assessed at fifty per cent of the
capital stock surplus and undivided
profits.
In Canadian county the bank. real
estate. furniture and fixtures were
assessed at thirty-three and onethird
per cent. capital stock and surplus ct
seventy-fve per cent. The value of
the real estate, however was first de-
Quoted from the capital stock and sur
plus.
In Cleveland county banks were as
sessed at fifty per cent Of the capital
stock, surplus and undivided profits
Graia, thirty-three to forty per cent;
Garfield county, seventeen to twenty
five per cent; Kay county, twenty to
forty per cent; Kingisher. slxty-four
per ceat; Lincoln, ffty per cent;
Noble. forty per cent; Logan. sixty
nve PEI ceat, and Oklahoma City the
largest banking center in the terri
tory thirtythree and one-thlrd per
cent.
In Woods county the surplus and
undivided profits We're not taxed
In Pottawatomie and Greer coun-
ties alone were capital stock and
surplus assessed at one hundred per
cent and when taken in connection
with the basis and rates on which
other property was assessed this con-
stitutes one of the worst cases of un-
just discrimination by the taxing
power that could well be imagined.
Merchants with fifty thousand dol
lar stocks are taxed at the average of
six thousand dollars. Farm real es-
tate is taxable at thirty-three and
one-third per cent Of very low val
