BANK TAX CASE
IS APPEALEDT0
HIGHEST COURT
Commissioner Wallace Takes Tax
Case Involving $225, 900 to
U. S. Supreme Court
ASKS ANOTHER ADVANCED
Wants Supreme Court to Give
Early Hearing in Case In
volving Capital Tax Stock

An appeal to the supreme court Of
the United States has been taken by
Tax Commissioner Wallace in case
in which national banks of North Da
kota were victorious in the United
States district and circuit court OF
appeals. Notice of the granting of the
appeal was in the hands OF the tax
commissioner today.
The legality of the 1919 taxes as
sessed against national banks is in
volved, the amount being about $780,
10000.
Te two courts in which the case
has been heard held that the bank
stock was subject to greater tax than
was levied by law against other mon
led capital in the hands of individuals
and held that bank stock should be
taxed the same as monies and credits,
at mills instead of the local rate of
taxation. The m,onies and credits tax
is about one tenth the amount of the
local rate. Taxes for the year 1919
only are involved as the monies and
credits tax law was repealed
The case, however, is looked upon as
probably establishing a precedent in
a case now pending in federal court
in which the national banks hold that
the repeal law of 1919 exempted bank
stock from taxation. While the tax
involved in both cases is assessed
against the stockholders individually
it usually is paid by the banks.
The tax commissioner has asked the
United States supreme court to ad.
vance the case of John Barton Payne,
as director general of railroads,
against the tax commissioner, in
volving the capital stock tax on rail-
roads of 1919. The case was before
the supreme court once and the state
was enjOined from enforcing the tax
collection. The state, reassessed the
railroads, using another part of the
state, which had not been in issue.
1t now is before the highest court.
The amount involved in this case is
about $125,0O0.
The Northern Trust company, of
Fargo, has instituted in the Cass dis
trict court suit to recover taxes paid
under protest, to the amount of $4,-
23195, on the stock of the company,
alleging that trust company stock was
exempted in the repeal of the 1919
legislature Three other trust COM
panies are expected to take similar ac-
ton.
Mr.. Wallace appears as attorney for
the state in all Of these cases.

unions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, issued a state
ment declaring it was evident that the
membership of the Big -Four Brother
hoods would not cooperate with the
other unions in the event they struck.

unions to vote on strike, 435,000
votes being cast for walkout with
10000 opposed to strike. /
