FRIDAY, JULY g, 1915.

Columbia special of July Z, to the
Greenville News: F. Barron Grier Of
Greenwood, representing the banks of
the state, filed a protest with the state
tax commission today for several Of
the banks which were not represented
in the first protest filed several days
ago by the banks. The banks are
protesting against the assessment
which is being made by the tax COM
mission but the commission through
A, w. Jones' the chairman, said this
morning that they had taken the pro-
test Of Mr.. Grier under adviSement.
I'VE are going to assess and equalize
the banks" said Chairman Jones. The
banks are insisting that their returns
already made to the county auditors
should stand this year and that the tax
commission should not change the as
sessment. The commission is going to
equaliZe the bank assessments this
year and it is this action which IS
causing the protest. One point IN
particular raised by several banks Is
the exemption Of county and schooi
district bonds from taxation, conteno-
ing that they should be given credit
for such issues. This the tax commits
sion will not allow Is adding these 10
the bank returns. The protest filed by
Mr.. Grier for the banks alleges among
other things that the act creating the
state tax commission is unconstitution-
al. The railroads Of the state nave
begun Injunction proceedings against
the tax commission, the state treas
urer and comptroller general in the
matter of the tax on gross recelpts
but the matter Of the constitutionallty
of the act creating the tax commission
was not raised by them. Whether the
banks will attack the commission In
the courts is not known. Representa-
tive T. P. Cothran OF Greenviile, ac-
companied Mr.. Grier when ne appear
ed before the tax commission TINS
morning. The decision to assess tne
banks has created much interest
throughout the state and many are
studying the act for the first time.
Gov. Manning is standing behind the
tax commission as he told the news
paper men at Chick Springs last week
and he said then that any defects or
improvements in the act would be op-
tanned when the general Assembly
meets in January. The governor salo
i'm his speech to the press assocla-
tion that he did not believe the tax
commission was going to do anything
radical this year. The members OF
the commission are A. w. Jones,
formerly comptroller general, chalr-
man; w. G. Query, formerly repre-
sentative in the general assembly from
Spartanburg county, and j. T. Der
ham Of Horny, formerly comptroller
general.
