BETTER Than BOYS
YOUNG WOMEN ARE DOING
FARM WORK.

Fairfax, May 11.-Though a large
number of young men from the farms
in this part of the state have been
sent away to war it is found that
farm work is farther advanced than
is usual at this season of the year.
The explanation is that the young
women have taken the places of their
brothers on the plows and planters
and that they propose taking their
places with the cultivatOrs and har-
vesters later. Another thing, too,
has helped out the situation. Many
of the older men, the fathers of the
young men gone to war, had practic-
ally retired from active farm work.
They have now returned to active
work and so it is the places of the
boys who have gone TO the front have
been filled and things are not so bad
ly d~isarranged as was expected they
would be.

BANK TAX RULINGS
ASSESSMENT OF BANKS Is PUZ-
ZLING QUESTION.

Pierre, May 11.-Quite a change
in the practice in banking affairs in
relation to the taxation of shares of
stock will now take place, since the
attorney general has ruled that chap
ter 341, laws of 1913 il invalid arc
unconstitutional. The act prescribed
that shares of stock of national banks
should be assessed to the individual
stockholders, but that the shares of
stock in state banks, etc, should be
assessed to the bank. The federal
law prescribes that there can be no
discrimination between state and ma
tional banks and so on this ground
alone the act is unconstitutional.
However, the ruling has come
about through the inquiry as to the
taxation of Liberty bonds, the situa-
ton being that many banks have in
vested a large part Of their capital
stock in such. and SO the question is
whether a state bank is entitled TO
deduct, from it's capital and surplus,
the amount of it's investments in gov
eminent bonds and certificates of in
debtedness, for the purpose of taxa
ton. The law apparently would al
low the state banks to make this de-
duction. but not the national banks
that privilege-and consequently on
this ground the act is held unconsti-
tutional. Liberty bonds are of course
not taxed.
Chapter 341 which is held uncon-
exempted stockholders in
state banks from taxation. and that
is in violation of the state constitu-
ton. which prohibits exemption from
taxation. With this chapter now
held invalid and unconstitutional,
the old law relating to these matters
as embodied In the 1903 code will be
in force.
