DISPUTE OVER BANK TAXATION
Governor cruee and Judge Douglass
Have Different Opinions.

Oklahoma City. Dec. 11.-Governor
.Cruce does not agree with Judge Sci.
wyn Douglass. deputy county attorney
here. that bank stock invested in gov
ernment bonds or Oklahoma public
building bonds, the latter made non
taxable by the last Legislature, was
subject to assessment.
Where the bank stock does become
taxable under those circumstances. !"
explained the governor, is where gov
ernment bonds are purchased and
against the purchase the bank secures
an issue of currency. the currency be-
comes an item for taxation. But If
hank obtains 100000 worth OF gov
ernment bonds and only $4,000 in
currency against them, then the $751;
600 in bonds is not taxable. but the
$4,000 of currency is. The same is
true of the Oklahoma public building

PENSION SOLDIER
Little Opposition in the House to
The Sherwood Pension
Measure.

Washington, D. c.. Dec 9.-Adyo-
Gates OF increased pensions for vet
erans Of the civil war battled on the
floor of the house today in the final
stages Of the fight to pass the Sher-
wood dollar day. pension bill. The
debate viii continue today and Tues
day with the deciding vote on the
measure late Tuesday afternoon.
There were few opponents of the
pension bill. 1t lay between those who
favor the Sherwood bill which estab-
fishes a pension based on length of
service, and the advocates of the Sulio-
way age pension bill. which was pass
ed by the house last spring but failed
in the senate.
The house presented a remarkable
appearance as Isaac r. Sherwood, the
oldest member of the house and
former general in the United States
in an hours speech, advocated the pas
sage of his measure. Members crowd
ed about the open space in front OF
the speakers desk. sat in the aisles
and hung over desks to get within
range of the Ohio member.
The Sherwood bill would grant SIS
month TO those who served more
than 80 days but less than six months;
for service up to nine months; s25
month for a service up to one year;
and $50 for a service more than one
year No pension is to be allowed
veterans who nave incomes exceed
ing $1,000 year The Sulloway bill
which probably will be offered as a
substitute or amendment to the Sher-
wood measure, provides maximum
pension Of s36 per month at the age
of rs.
