FOR EQUAL TAXES
MlNNEHAHA COUNTY BANK AS
SESSMENT CASE CARRIED
TO HIGHER COURT
BANKERS AGAINST COUNTY
They Brought Action to Have Tax As.
sessment Against Them De-
ciared lIlegal--Case of
General Interest

Sioux Falls-State's Attorney Bergh
has just filed notice of appeal to the
supreme court Of this state on behalf
Of Minnehaha county, in the action
brought against the county some time
ago by the Sioux Falls Savings bank
and the State Banking & Trust COM
pany, of this city, to have a portion
Of their taxes cancelled.
These banks instituted proceedings
In court last year to have the tax
assessment against them for the year
1910 declared illegal, on the ground
that the state board of equalization
had assessed bank stock at 40 per cent
erty in the state was assessed at 80
and one-third per cent OF its value,
claiming such assessment to be vio-
lation of the laws requiring that all
taxes shall be equal and uniform.
The states attorney demurred to
the complaint Of the banks, thus rails
ing the legal issue as to the power
and authority of the taxing officers
in the premises, and a hearing on this
question was had last month before
Judge Jones in the circuit court, who
overruled the demurrer Of the county,
thus holding to be Illegal such portion
Of the bank stock assessment as now
amounts to the difference between the
two stated rates of percentage.
This difference in value OF stock
amounts to $51 900, and the tax there
on is, upwards Of two thousand dol
lars.
The other four banks In this city
have since brought action to have
their assessments corrected according
to the same contention made by the
first two banks, but by agreement OF
attorneys, these cases will be allowed
to rest, to abide the decision of the
supreme court in the case now taken
before it.
The county contends that it had nc
choice in making the assessment as II
did, for the basis of valuation OF the
different kinds and classes OF personal
property was dictated in the instruc-
tons of the state board of assessment
adopted at its meeting last spring
after full hearing and discussion Of
the subject
There are also provisions of the state
laws, as well as decisions Of the state
supreme court on the subject. that
appear to support this method of as
sessment.
This appeal is, therefore, brought for
the purpose of having the issue square
ly passed upon by the court of last
resort, and the controversy settled.
These cases according to Mr. Bergh
emphasize the difficulties encountered
in taxation when all property is not
taxed on a basis of its full value, a.
the law directs.
The case here referred to, will be
of great interest to every county in
the state, inasmuch as all have follow
ed the directions of the state board
of equalization in assessing bank stock
and other personal property on the
same basis of valuation as is complain.

Real Thing Blow Out

Kimball-The high wind of a re-

the Kimball garage. The building
a brick and cement structure, 4O

building faces the north and the
heavy front doors sprung the lock-
swept open and permitted the wind to
strike the rear wall with the effect OF
a battering ram and it was carried out
bodily. No other damage was done.
