provided that the individual
stockholders in a corporation, at
least onefourth of whose total

the corporation pays taxes ON all

The tax commission, under the
proposed law, becomes one of
the most powerful bodies IN

of the commission to fine each

all depositors in all banks. 1t is
suggested that the banks pay
this tax. 1t is believed by finan-

The activities of the present tax
commission, which has served

Information Restricted.

While the information obtainable at
the reserve board quarters is restricted.
1t Is understood that all applications Of
directors in local national banks to hold
dual directorships in other national
banks have been turned down; that all
applications in the uptown-from 18th
street to 18th street northwest-fnan-
cial district for permission to retain
directorships in other banks or trust
companies in the district named have
been denied.
On general principles the board prob
ably will hold that all uptown trust
companies are in competition with ma
tional banks in the immediate district;
that like competition exists between
downtown-east of 18th street north
west-national banks and trust COM
panies and between each of the banks
in that locality.
