luton for the ordinances presented by

luton remains on the table whore 1t
now is. all the Councilman will con-
tinue to ride without cost.

TOM JoHNsoN's BANK TAXED.
Fearing Soon Before Internal Revenue
Commissioner.

John G.. Capers. commissioner of internal
revenue, has decided to give n hearing to
the Depositors' Savings and Trust Co. of
Cleveland Ohio, on a decision recently
rendered by him that this institution was
subject to tax of 10 per cent on certifi-
Gates issued by it which were being ac-
cepted as currency in the business world of
Cleveland. Under the existing laws the
currency of a state private bank is subject
to a tax of 10 per cent, which, of course is
prohibitiVe. The Cleveland institution claims
to have desired to advertise its advantages
and got out a certificate, framed and ap-
pearing very much like national bank
note. 1t was put into circulation through
payment of salaries to employees, each note,
whether of 81 or $40 denomination, being
redeemable at the bank, the credit of which
is SO good that the certificates passed cir
culation freely. The matter was called to
the attention of Commissioner Capers who
held that the certificates should be taxed
and directed the collector of internal reve-
nue. at Cleveland to ascertain the amount
of the certificates that had been issued and
levy an assessment accordingly. The bank
of which Tom Johnson is president has
asked for a hearing and announces its de-
termination to carry the case to the United
States Supreme Court if the decisions con-
tinue to be adverse
