DISCUSS CURRENCY REFORM
Western Bank Men Gather at Denver
to Consider Important
Questions.

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 27.-The ma
tional currency reform bills now
pending at Washington will be the
chief subject of discussion before the
Colorado Bankers association, which
began it's annual meeting here today
About so bankers are attending the
meeting and the stand they will take
will largely represent the attitude OF
western bankers.
Among the points which the nation
al banks oppose is that which compels
them to become members of the new
federal banking system, but deprives
them of any power in its management.
The proposed law also deprives the
national banks of the United States
deposits, as we'll as of the power to
issue currency.
Denver bankers are disposed to take
a conservative view of the situation,
but they intended to go into it carefully.
Bankers of national prominence VIII
address the meetings.

CAR COMPANIES
MUST REPORT
RULING HAS BEEN MADE BY THE
STATE TAX COM
MISSION.
Through These Reports the Commits
sion Will Determine the Yalua-
tiOns of the Companies.

! BOISE, Aug. 27.-The state tax COM
mission has issued a ruling to the eff
| feet that Pullman and private car
companies must, as required by the
law passed by the Eleventh session OF
the legislature, file financial state
ments with the state auditor in order
that the proper information may be
placed in the hands of the state board
of equalization to determine the valu-
ations of these companies. The state
auditors department issued notices
to these companies to submit their
reports forthwith. Up to this time
but few of them were on file.
| Under the assessment made by the
state board last year Pullman and pri-
vate car companies had total assess
ment of 1851 1924. The fact that the
last Legislature failed to pass the
amendatory Pullman and private car
bill which made the requirements in
submitting reports more stringent than
they are in the present law, left some
doubt in the mind of the tax commits
sion as to what action to take 1t was
at first believed that the Twelfth ses-
sion bill had been passed by both
houses but had been lost in the final
days of the session and search was
made of the records 1t was discov-
cred that the bill that in reality passed
the house but had only reached first
reading in the senate and expired on
the calendar in that assembly.
The principal amendment in the law
the last legislature considered was in
effect as follows:
"The state board of equalization
shall ascertain and fix the valuation
upon each particular class of cars,
which, as nearly as possible. shall be
the true value of such cars and
shall assess the number so ascertained
to the respective car company,
mercantile or other company, firm or
individual and levy a tax of two dol
lars and fifty cents ($2.5O) on each one
hundred dollars ($10O.O0) of the as
sessed valuation thereof as fixed by
the state board to be paid to the state
treasurer for the use of the state
Under the existing law the Pullman
and private car companies operating
stock, furniture, refrigerator, fruit,
poultry, tank must report to the state
auditor the aggregate number of miles
travelled by the cars, etc.
