for Charles F.. Smith. director and
bondholder Of the Kansas City Title

to the land banks and Of farm loan
bonds from taxation, the petitioners
further stating that the land banks
have not acted as public depositaries
of financial agents Of the government
and therefore are not entitled to have
their bonds and mortgages exempted

says, is the result of decision of the
