TAXING BANK STOCK.
Federal Laws Protect National Banks
From Equitable Taxation.

Federal Laws Protect National Banks
From Equitable Taxation.
The Sussex Board OF Equalization
has been criticised for the value placed
upon National Bank Stock, and Judge
Hunt has published the explanation.
The Federal law protecting Banks in
the inequitable valuation Of this
stock for the purpose Of taxation is
of general information:
The several States have no power
10 tax bank stock without express
authority of Congress; that authority
has been given, and the United States
Supreme Court has directed how that
right should be exercised by the
States. In the Tax Case, 96 U. s.
Reports, the court held that the
method Of arriving at the value of the
national bank stock shall be by adding
to the capital stock the surplus and
undivided profits, subtracted from
this total the value of the real estate
(bank building) of the bank, and by
virtue of the provisions Of chapter 234
Of the laws Of 1906, pamphlet laws Of
New Jersey, also deducting the value
of all nonasseSsable securities held by
the bank, and dividing the remainder
by the number of shares Of stock, and
this quotient is the value per share
for taxation purposes. The stock, un-
der the decisions of the U. S. courts
cannot be assessed at its market value.
The, result in this county is that after
deducting the value of the real esA
tate, the value of government and
municipal bonds exempted from taxa
tion, the taxable value of the Merch-
ants National Bank shares was Sal
each, and of the Sussex Bank S13 each
and of the Farmers National about
par. The officers of these banks were
willing to submit to valuation at
par, which the Board was constrained
to accept. having first submitted the
question to the attorney-generaI and
receiving an opinion in accordance
with the foregoing. -Hackettstown

The flower show of the Morris Coun-
ty Florists and Gardeners Society
closed Friday in the Madison Assem-
bly, Rooms. The exhibit this year
while more diversified as to classes is
smaller than has been the case fer
some years but makes up in beauty
what it Jacks in size. The usual large
exhibits from the Twombly and James
estates were not to been seen this year.
Morristown shows up very well pro
yiding the greater part Of the show.
Among the exhibitors are Otto n.

COMPARATIVE TAX STATEMENT

For the Years 1905 1900, showing a
Decrease In County Tax.
Below we present a comparative
statement Of the levies for county and
State school tax for 1906 and 1905. AS
the Dover Index has persistenuly urged
that the tax levy for this year largely
exceeds that for 1905, the subjoined ta-
BILE may serve to exercise the specter
of increased taxation which the alarm
lists have evoked on the eve OF election
for purely partisan needs AS mat
ter of course, owing to increased valu-
ations, some taxing districts show an
increase of the tax levy, while others
show a considerable decrease. 1t will
be observed, however, that the total
county tax is some $4,000 less than last
year:

state rorest Reaerve II warren "a

state Forest Reserve IN Warren co.
The recent visit Of State Geologist
Henry B. Kummelto Blairtown has
resulted in the purchase Of 750 acres
of land on the Blue mountain as a
forest reverse. The object of this
purchase is to established forest re-
serve in the northern part of the
State. After carefully observing the
available lands, the commission de-
cided that the lands at the foot of the
Blue Mountains about three miles
from Blairstown were the most valu-
able for this purpose because this sec
tion is not frequently visited by fires.
The timber there is Of the best. The
purchase price will average about S.
per acre. 1t was shown at the meet
ing that the State will save consid-
erable amount of money under the
new law creating the fire wardens.
Previous to the passage Of the law no
one fought the fires and this entailed
great expense on the State.

Immediate Consumption.

immediate Consumption.
The National Cigar Stands Com
pany's enterprise is being watched
with intense interest by cigar and to-
baccO men all over the world The
general impression is chat it will lrevo-
lutionize the cigar-retailing business.
Judging from the verdict Of smokers
the company has fulfilled it's promise
to supply the citizens OF Morristown
with high-grade cigars at prices here
tofOre unknown in this section. The
stand which was recently opened IN
Smiths Drug Store has been in opera
tlOn long enough to prove that it has
set high standard Of cigar quality
and at the same time reduced prices.
The stand itself continues to attract
attention because of it's unusual ap-
p0intments. Purely as an attractive
display of cigars it exciteS comment
among smokers and nOn-smokers
alike. But its practical use as a pre-
server Of cigars is Of course its main
feature. Its scientific construction
that automatically maintains atmo.
Spheric conditions best suited to cigars
seems TO have done away with the
usual cigar-Stand complaints of .stoo
dry or too moist. n
Even the scepticS are forced to ack-
nowledge that the 1000 druggists in
the National Cigar Stands Company
can and do buy In quantities Suffi-
ciently vast to make low prices pos
Sible.
The smokers themselves are learning
by direct, personal experience that the
prospects are bright chat their cigar
bills will be cut In half

proposed Lake Passaic with a large
colored map Of the area proposed to be
Hooded has been issued and can he had
on application to Henry B. Kummel,
State Geologist, Trenton. The report
is decidedly interesting, taking up the
matter Of the lake from several points
Of view, estimating the cost and sug-
costing how the scheme can be
financed and the bonds eventually
paid. The question of the lake is pos
sibly the most important before the

Whenever it is possible for the young woman to do so she should supplement her general or cultural education with a course in domestic science. While there are in many such courses a good many culinary f1uffs and frills and non essentials, yet she will acquire there in six months a larger fund of informa- tion touching the science and funda- mental facts of cooking than she could stumble on to by herself in the course of two or three years. If she has a dis cerning mind, and every prospective housewife should have this, she will be able to separate the chaff from the wheat in the course of domestic science mentioned, making use of that which Is practical and passing that which is superfuous and nonessential.
