to be less lavish in its use of water
President Homer Warren, Of the
Board OF Commerce, has appointed
John B. Whelan to make a careful In.

BIG BATTLE COMING OVER
TAXING OF CASH IN BANKS
REGARDLESS OF DEBTS
Michigan Bankers Association
Plans To Attack Action of
Detroit Assessors
MUCH MONEY is INVOLVED
Local Officials Are Backed BY
Opinion of Assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel Barlow

Attorney Hal III. Smith, represent.
ing the Michigan Bankers associa'
ton, has notified Walter K. Barlow,
assistant corporation counsel, that the
\ association proposes to begin suit al
lacking Barlow's opinion. which led
the board OF assessors to assess all
bank deposits regardless OF whether
The depositors claimed an Offset by
reason OF Indebtedness.
This ruling has caused the board to
put several hundred thousands IN
bank deposits on the rolls, which mere
tofore has escaped taxation. IL has
caused one capitalist, who has much
money on deposit, but who claimed an
Offset against most of II on the ground
OF indebtedness, TO criticize Barlow tc
his superior. Corporation Counsel
Lawson. The result was another
thorough investigation OF the sub
ject, and Mr.. Barlow again came to
the conclusion that the court would
sustain his view. The test case Is
likely to be started over an assess
ment Of $4,000, which Barlow says
is representative of the action OF the
board
The law states specifically that all
money Is assesable. The form OF
blank prescribed by law for personal
tax statements calls for statement
Of moneys. Mr.. Barlow contends that
money in the bank is just as assess
able as money in the pocket, regard
less of the individuals debts or the
state of his finances.
The law also states that an assess
ment must be made against AL cred
its of every kind belonging to tho In
habitants OF this state over and above
the amounts respectively owned by
them, whether such indebtedness Is
due from individuals or from corpora
tons, public or private. and whether
such debtors reside within or without
the state"
Members OF the Bankers associa-
tion contend that this clause clearly
permits an Offset OF debts against
money on deposit, or credits. Tie at
torney-general In 1899, gave an cpin.
ion that this indebtedness is allowed
as an Offset only against credits such
Rs bills and accounts receivable and
Mr.. Barlow Endorses this view. =
