IN TAX ASSESSMENT.
Tax Commission Says Shareholders
Must Pay and Law Says Banks Must
Pay.

Auditor Wilder was in a quandary
today on just how to proceed with the
| assessment Of taxes for bank stock.
He has just received his returns from
the State tax commission which in
structs him to assess the banks with
the general bank property and to as
sess the individual share holders with
the stock held in their name, making
them liable as individuals for the
taxes on their bank stock. This is diff
ferent from the customary method of
assessing bank stock, which has been
to assess it against the bank and not
the individual share holder. The law
provides, according to Auditor Wild
er's Interpretation, that the banks pay
the taxes on all property and stock,
which makes the instructions from
the tax commission violation Of the
law, if they are followed.
To add to his troubles, there are

holders of bank stock, and Auditor
Wilder will have to figure out just that
many times what each one Of those
stock holders mad to pay in taxes on
his bank stock, this is If he follows out
the instructions from the State tax
commission. The auditor has already
been delayed in his work by the delay
of the tax commission to send in the
assessments and if he has to do all of
this new work, he will hardly be able
to get it done before the opening of
