Nine others had come because sis

Five more said that the unusual op-

That both readers and advertisers
are quick to recognize such changes
Is attested by the fact that the Cour-

These results have been attained with
out sacrificing any of the substantial

characterized the Courier,Journal.

Basis Of Bank Taxation.

Banks Of this state will pay taxes
ON basis of 80 per cent. of the
capital stock. surplus and undivided
profits. The state board OF valuations
and assessments fixed this as the
value of the banks. refusing to grant
a reduction to 60 per cent. The State
Bankers association recently sent a
committee TO Frankfort which appear
ed before the state board and asked
a reduction to 90 per cent. instead OF
80 per cent. They contended that in
other states banks are assessed on a
basis of so to 80 per cent. The state
board could not see II the way the
bankers saw II and refused TO grant
the request, The present board re-
duced the assessment from 100 per

OF the board thought that was low
