assessment and taxation of such shares
Of stock shall shall not be at a greater
rate than is made or assessed upon
other monied capital in the hands of
individuals in this state. In making
such assessment the assessed valuation
of real property of such bank or bank
ing association shall be deducted from
the total valuation of the shares of
stock assessed against the stockhol-
ders.n
1t may be explained that the real
property means the banking house or
other real estate owned hy the bank,
together with safes, fixtures, etc.
These are properly assessed as whole
in the taxing district where they are
located.
1T has been found that in some taxing
districts the Buck law was ignored en-
tirely last year, and in others it was
observed, while in other places the tax
ing authorities to avoid litigation,
effected compromise with the banks.
The same condition has already cropped
out this year. In some districts the
deduction for noa-taXables have been
allowed, in Others they have not been
has already been made where bya part
of the deductions provided for by the
Buck law have been allowed.
This of course is not tax equalization
While the Buck law is ON the books it
should be obeyed. If it is not proper
law it should be repealed, but in any
placed on an equal basis, as the pres
ent law contemplates.
In Pennsylvania there are two meth
ods of bank stock taxation, the banks
choosing which they will accept. The
one is to pay four mills on each dollar
of the combined capital, surplus and
undivided profits, with no deductions
for non-taXables. The other plan is TO
pay ten mills on the dollar of the cap
ital stock alone two months before the
tax would be due if paid on the four
mill basis. Each state seems to have
different method, and in New Jersey
there is variety of methods under the
same law.
The banks should be assessed on an
equal basis with other property aud
granted exemptions given to others in
accordance with the law, and the
Boards of Equalization would then not
on'yr ohey the law but avoid d lot O1
com piications.

President Roosevelt put a qul-
etus on a march through Georgia
by a son Of General Sherman. In
this he is unquestionably right
and shows that he really wants
union and good will to prevail. The
mimic reproduction Of battles and
the resurrection of the sentiment
of that devastat ng march through
Georgia are not calculated to ex-
cite or invigorate the nobler feel
ings within the makeup of Sothern
people. 1t has been many years
since that march was made and
the bitterness that existed be-
tween the contending forces has
been almost obliterated, and in
view of these facts it would be a
great injustice to give encourage
ment to a move that would re-
vive it. We have no doubt that
every part of our great country
heartily endorses the President
in the position he has taken.

WE'D, MAY 9, 1906.

Twenty-one indictments were
made in the Federal Court in
Portland, Oregon, last week, for
land frauds. Bribery, frauds,
Interpretations of trust fiends
and graft are meeting rough fare
throughout the entire country.
There is a growing spirit and a
more determined effort on the
part of the people, the State and
Federal Government to have
honest administrations and honest
dealings throughout the entire
land. Only a few years ago and
such accusations passed without
SO thorough Investigations and
vigorous prosecutions. The way
blocked out by Joseph Folk, OF
Missouri, and while he was puri-
flying St. Louis, he was also pu-
rifying the entire country. The
bitterest fight ever waged against
a prosecuting attorney was d.
rected at him and had he been a
weakling the crusade against
graft, bribery and other illegal
methods by the big swindlers
would have been dealt a fearful
blow if not entirely killed, but it
was not the case and in the en-
tire history of our country the
big criminals have never had
such rough road. 1t can not
longer be said that money will
beat the courts. The American
people want honest dealing,
righteous living and are demand
ing it of the rich as well as the
poor. This of itself is a hope
full sign that the days Of monopo-
ly and illegal control of trade
and industries will soon run their
course. 1t points to the time
when the people will not stand
for a policy that enriches one
class at the detriment OF an
other. Legislation and the en-
forcement of the laws will DO
the work by and by.
