Banks Sue to Set

On Capital Stock
Action, Filed by 23 Against
Commission. Alleges Law
Producing $500, 900 a
Year Is Unconstitutional

Alleging that tho Jaw taxing the
capital stock of national and state
banks is unconstitutional and diserim-
inatory, twenty~thrse such institutions
lied an action in the Supreme Court
yesterday against Henry NJ. Goldfogel,
president. and the other commissioner
of the State Tax Department. to test
tho law and set aside the / per cent
assessments against such stock.
II was said that many similar actions
h. banks doing business in New York
will follow those brought yesterday
The aggregate amount OF capital out
standing OF all national and state
banks in this city is estimated at
$3.50, 900 900.
The Hanover National Bank is orc Of
the plaintiffs, and the complaint of this
Institution. which is substantially the
same as those fIed by the other plain
tiffs. contends that the per cent tax
on the capital stock of BANKS is uncon-
stitutional because there is no such
Tax leried against other corporations,
the only assessment in other cases being
a graduated income tax.
Il IS alleged by the banks that the
levy OF capital tax is discriminatory
in that j. calls for payments greatly in
excess OF what an income tax would
amount to il levied on the banks.
In case the banking institutions are
successful in their attack on the tax
!aw and set aside the assessment they
complain OF, it will reduce the revenue
OF the City CT New York from tax
sources approximately $500 600.

BUILDING BOOM
THROUGHOUT NATION
September Contracts In Twenty.
seven Northern and Eastern
States Set Records

New York, Oct. ia building
boom is well under way in nearly
every part of the country.
Building contracts placed during
September in the twenty-seven
northern and eastern states totaled
$246,1s6,OoO according to the F. W.
Dodge Co.
1t was a gain of IL per cent over
reached by building activity during
September.
It was a gain Of IL per cent ovee
August, though building usually
slumps Is per cent in September,
compared with August.
Building of homes led all forms of
construction during September. The
value of building contracts was dis
tributed like this:
Residence --- 80 per cent
Business building --- --- per cent
Public works and utilities IA per cent
Schools II per cent.
Predictions that a long-range build
ing boom has begun were made a
month ago, when it was announced
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1921-10-19

by the Geological Survey that pro-
duction and shipments of Portland
cement during August broke all rec
ords for that month and were Is per
cent above the average for August,
1917-1920.
Building permits issued in Aug
ust in the 1877 leading cities totaled
in money value SO per cent more than
in August, 1920, according to statis-
ties compiled by the American Con-
tractor. September made another big
increase.
Prices are much lower now than
year ago, hence 81 of building rep
resents more actual construction
work than during the postwar boom.
Contractors say the best reason
for believing that building activity
will continue at a high rate is in
the fact that labor is producing more
work per hour than a year ago.

FISHERMAN FINDS
HE'S MILLIONAIRE
After Years In Rags Discovers He's
Rich When Mother Finds Him
In Punta Allegro.

Havana, Cuba.-A fisherman for
seven years without knowing his sur
name and believing his parents dead,
Marcelino Dumeni is today a mil
lionaire.
And his mother, who found him at
Punta Allegro, after search almost
around the world, says she is the hap
piest woman on earth.
The story of Mrs. Dumeni's fran
tic search for Marcelino and his sis
ter, Maria, now heirs to large for
tune, came to light today. Mrs. Du-
meni is a naturalized American,
born in Syria.
Years ago when the children were
little tots, they were lost from their
home in the United States.
Seven years ago they separated
Maria going to South America and
Marcelino coming to Cuba where he
went to work as fisherman.
In the meantime the father had
died leaving a fortune estimated at
more than a million and the mother
started a search to find her children.
The daughter was finally traced, to
South America, and through her the
son was found.
Recently Marceiino, in ragged
clothes reeking with the smell of fish
hoped from his tiny fish laden
craft into the water and waded
ashore.
A well-dressed woman was waiting
for him-his mother, though Marce-
limo didn't know.
Mrs. Dumenti spoke no Spanish
and Marcelino no English. What did
that matter?' Crying for joy, the
mother clasped the grimy fisherman
to her heart and wept. Not under
standing, Marcelino asked through
an interpreter, what was wrong and
his sister and the interpreter called
out to him, "This is mamma"
Mrs. Dumeni then pulled Marce-
limos shirt open.

"Marcelino, at last I've found him. 1
