Banks Demand Exemption.

Can a bank claim tax exemption on
any other real estate than its bank
building? This question was checked
up to the supreme court recently in q
friendly suit brought by the First Ma
tional bank of Junction City against
the state tax commission. All OF the
banks OF the state are interested In
the matter and several Of them are
backing the suit. The tax commission
has always held that a bank should
nay taxes on all its real estate outside
Of its bank building. The banks con-
tend that all real estate is part OF
the capital stock and surplus, and is
exempt because the capital and surplus
are taxed. The court is asked to COM
pei the assessor to wipe out the taxes
on the real estate owned by the bank.
This is a test case. II the banks win
1t a vast amount of real estate will go
off the Kansas tax rolls.
