Minot, n. D., Feb.11. - The Fort
nightly Club was addressed at it's
regular meeting by H. H. Steele O.
Mohall, who is a mer.Der of the state
tax commission. His topic was Some
History and Needed Tax Legislation
lie opened his address with the state
.ment that he did not know much
about the matter of taxation when he
was appointed to the board and that
with all the study he had been able
to give to it since that time, there
were many things which he did not
yet pretend to understand.
He spoke Of the history OF the legls-
latiOn which created the tax commits
sion in 1909 and traced that which
has been enacted since that time. He
outlined the special qualifications OF
the several members who have served
on the commission since its creation
and those who are now serving. he
referred to the constitutional amend
ment which has been ratified by the
people and indicated some of the pur-
poses it would serve in the future.
He spoke accidentally of the Ori-
gin of taxation and the crude methods
from which the. present system has
been evolved. He referred to the diff
ference in the number Of items of in
tangible property at this time and
fifty years ago. He said that Of the
forty-eight states, tWenty-nine have
either. tax commissions or tax COM

the development of the scope OF the
work and authority of these commits
sions. t Y
In criticism of the methods used ur-
der the present system OF determining
amounts of taxable property, he tes-
pecially criticised the methods Of tax
ing the banks, He said that the law
allows the banks to deduct from their
capital stock the amount of real es-
tate owned by them and taxed the
difference He said that many Of the
leading banks have nearly all their
capital stock invested in lands so that
there is nothing for the state to tax.
or at best but very little. Another
point in the taxing Of bank property
to which he objected is that of allow
ing the banks to deduct five per cent
of the amount of the loans and dis
counts as bad debts before taxing
these items, He favored cutting this
in two so that not more than half of
this amount should be exempt. He
also favored a law cutting down the
amount of real estate which the bank
may deduct from its capital stock to
one-half the present amount.
He is in favor Of abolishing the
state equalization board and substi-
tuting the tax commission with the
addition, Of the governor and attorney
general to the personnel. He said
that the state boards work in equal
ization was mere guesswork, but that
the new board would be able to work
with more information and do more
investigation.
