Mr.. Strait filed on his own behalf

The majority Of the creditors claims
are for amounts ranging from $500 to

MAY TAX UNITED
STATES BONDS
Judge Howe, of Des Moines,
Decides a Pointo fEmpOrtanCe
to Iowa Banks.
Snecial TO The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. Judge
James Howe, of the district court here,
handed down a decision today which, If
sustained by the supreme court, will
have a statewide effect upon banks
which have been investing their sur
plus capital in United States bonds for
the purpose of avoiding taxation.
He rules that the shares only be taxed
and the taxes assessed to the bank.
In assessing the shares he holds no
deduction can be made from this be-
cause the bank in which the individual
holds shares possesses certain
amount of government bonds. If the
capital of the bank were assessed, he
admits, then the deduction could be
made, but the state, by legislative act,
has passed a law which provides for
assessing the shares and holding saw
ings banks responsible for the pay
ment of taxes. Taking advantage of
this law, the city assessor of Des
Moines assessed the local banks and it
was from this assessment an appeal
was taken to the district court.
The banks urged the unconstttut1on-
ality of the law on the ground that 1T
was the taking of the property of one
to pay the debts of another. By this
ruling a method has been devised
whereby government bonds may be in
directly taxed.
