TEST TAX LAW
U. ;. SUPREME COURT CONSIDERS
SOUTH DAKOTA EMPRESS
CASE.

Sioux Falls, Nov. 2.-While in
Sioux Falls Attorney General Cald-
well, in comemnting upon the recent
hearing at Washington in the express
tax cases, stated that while he would
not undertake to predict what the
supreme court of the United States
will hold in the case, he is very hope
full of a decision upholding the sta
tute of South Dakota which is in
controversy.
"a favorable decision" said he,
would mean many thousands of dol
lars for South Dakota. for 1t is a fact
that because of %injunctions granted
and pending i'm the federal courts,
the express companies have not paid
any taxes in this state since 1908"
The chief question involved in the
express tax case pending before
the federal supreme court is whether
the statute Of South Dakota under
which express companies are taxed is
constitutional. This is an important
question to the state, for the reason
that the statute under which rail
roads telegraph. telephone and sleep
ing car companies are taxed is sub
ject to precisely the same attack as
that made by the express companies
in these eases.
The statute under which these
taxes are assessed was first enacted
i'm principle into law by the first leg
islature of South Dakota, and every
dollar Of taxes paid by the railway
companies of South Dakota since
1890 has been assessed under the
statutory provisions TO which obJec'
tion now is made. This principle wa:
made applicable TO express companies
in 1891 and express companies haye
been assessed under 1t ever since.

BANK Law HEARING
ARGUMENTS BY LEADING ATTOR-
NEYS FOR AND AGAINST RE
CENT RULING OF BANK
ING DEPARTMENT.

Sioux Falls, Nov. Fudge Jones
in the circuit court was occupied with
the arguments in the state bank de-
posit injunction cases brought
against the public examiner by the
four national banks of Sioux Falls.
These are test cases, instituted on
behalf of the South Dakota Bankers
association, to test the validity of the
ruling recently made by j. l.. Wing
field, the public examiner. respecting
the reserve deposits of the state
banks.
On September Is, the state bank
examiner with the approval of the
governor and attorney general, issued
a ruling" which was in effect an
order requiring the state banks
throughout the state TO keep so per
cent of their legal reserve deposits in
state banks. located at Sioux Falls,
Aberdeen. Mitchell. WATERFOWL, HUI
ron, Pierre, Rapid City, Bookings
and Yankton. The effect of the OPP
Grafton of this order would be to
force the state banks to withdraw
their deposits from the national
banks within the state, and from
both national and state banks out
side of the state, and deposit them in
the dozen or SO banks located in the
reserve cities, designated by the pub
lie examiner.
Both the state banks and the ma
tional banks strenuously opposed this
order, and committees were sen to
Pierre to endeayor 10 induce the gov
ernor and public examiner TO with
draw the ruling. The efforts OF the
banks in this respect proved ineffec-
tual, and four suits were instituted
before Judge Jones to enjcin the
public examiner from putting the rul-
ing into effect. These suits We're
brought ~severally by the Minnehaha
National bank, Security National
bank. Sioux Falls National bank and
Scandinavian : American National
bank of Sioux Falls. Orders to show
causes why injunction should not is
sue were issued some days ago by
