HAS NEW PLAN FOR
ASSESSING BANKS
ATTORNEY GENERALS METHOD
CATCHES BOTH DEPOSlTORS
AND BANKERS.

Helena, June 6.-As the result of a
new ruling by Attorney General d. M
Kelly yesterday on the method of as
sesSing banks, the state and counties
will receive many thousand dollars
more in taxes, and bankers and de
positors will be prevented from dodg
ing assessors.
The new ruling will have the effect
of getting line on the cash deposits
of the banks, and therefore on the
possessors of this money all over the
state.
Banks are required, under oath, to
furnish the names of depOsitors to
the assessors, who upon acquiring
this knowledge, will assess the own
ers Of the money.
In case the banks refuse to furnish
the names of their depositors, all of
the moneys on hand will be assessed
against the bank, so the assessor has
them going and coming.
Deposits Never Were Assessed.
In the past this has not been the
rule of assessing banking institutions.
They have been assessed on their cap
ital stock and surplus, which is not
the proper method, according to the
attorney general. The deposits have
never been assessed, which has given
both the banks and the depositors a
chance to dodge the tax assessors.
AS result of the old method of
assessing banks, thousands of dollars
have escaped assessment, which will
be impossible under the new ruling,
which will materially increase the
amount of taxes coming into the state
and county Golfers.
Mr.. Kelly says the proper method
is: First to list all real estate; Sec
ond, personal property, fixtures, etc.;
third, moneys on hand; fourth, solvent
credits, which includes loans and dis
counts, and cash due from other
banks and bankers.
Must Disclose Creditors.
From the amount of solvent credits
may be deducted the debts of the
bank, which would include all moneys
owing by the bank to it's depositors
or other persons, such debts being de-
fined in Section 25O1 of the Revised
Codes, provided, however, that:
No deduction must be made in any
case unless the party (the bank
claiming such deduction, discloses to
the assessor. under oath, the name or
names of the personse to whom such
party is indebted, and the amount of
such Indebtedness to each, and also
that such Indebtedness is not barred
by the statute of limitations"

ties, the bezoar, not infrequently
found in the stomachs of the herbivor-
Gus and ruminant quadrupeds, goats
and antelopes particularly, has been
credited with qualities that impaired
to it great value among credulous
and semi-civilized peoples, especially
in ancient times.
Having, as a rule, for it's nucleus
some indigestible substance, taken in
to the stomach with the food, as
measure OF protection and to render
it harmless, it was gradually coated
with a concretion of mineral sub
stance, just as the oyster, coating au
intrusive particle with nacreous mat
ter, produces the much-admired and
costly pearl Sometimes the coating
consists of superphosphate of lime
and sometimes of phosphate of am
monia or magnesia.
In many Instances the hair carried
into the stomach in the course of the
licking process by means of which
these animals cleanse their coat,
would be incorporated with the min
eral deposit and felted into a mass of
great solidity, the bulk being at the
same time greatly increased, so that
these accumulations often reached a
diameter of several inches. In the
stomachs of slaughtered beeves such
masses are quite common.
These, however, were not the be-
Zoars that were esteemed for their
remedial or protective properties.
The latter were compact concretions
of mineral matter, sometimes radial
in structure, sometimes composed of
layers and of stonelike
hardness. They are classed as occi-
dental, oriental and German. 1t was
in the Orient-the land of mystery
that the bezoar enjoyed the widest
esteem for it's supposed medicinal vir-
tues. The possession of such a con-
cretion was believed to insure the
protection Of the owner against vari-
Gus diseases. 1t was also regarded
as especially efficacious as an antidote
to poisons, and even against the bites
Of the venomous reptiles with which
tropical Asia abounds.
While these virtues must be regard
ed in the light of modern science as,
of course, entirely imaginary, the
ownership OF such protection may
nave proved, to some extent, an in
voluntary and hypnotic aid to the suf-
serer. AS consequence, considerable
value was often attached to notably
inc specimens of bezoars. In India,
their value increased enor-
nously in proportion to their size and
choice specimens commanded very
arge prices.
They were mounted, according to
heir dimensions, for display or for
suspension from the person, special
,are being taken to leave the bezoar
substance plainly visible. In many
instances they were even in Europe
hought worthy of being inclosed in
;ostly and artistic settings, by which,
If course, their value was enhanced
o a corresponding extent.

Concord, N. H.-There was public
hearing at the State House last Fri
day by the committee appointed to
investigate the charges Of bribery in
connection with the senatorial cleo
ton, and several witnesses presented
their testimony. The hearing had
to do entirely with charges against
Clifford L. Snow, representative from
Manchester, and former chairman of
the Progressive members of the leg
islature. The charges were that he
solicited two brides, one of 5000 from
the Republican state committee to
help elect it's candidate for governor
over the present incumbent, and one
of an indefinite amount from Elmer

This chance lies in the Bay States,
