Spitzbarth of Diamond Grove lost
five sheep in last Thursday evening 4
storm by their being washed away and
drowned.
The storm of Thursday evening was
destructive, owing to the great amount
of water that fell in a short length of
time. Jas. Spensley's furnace dam
was carried away and the damage done
HIM was at least $500 worth. He says
the water was foot higher than ever
before during his residence in that val
ley. At Miffiin the dam was swept
away and damage done to the extent Of
$4,000 Railroad trains were delayed
and many bridges badly damaged.

two weeks ago, met with more favor
than we expected Something should
certainly be done to protect our city

BANK STOCK IN
STATE EXEMPTED
FROM TAXATION
Tax Commissioner Loses Suit In
High Court Involving Case
on State Bank Stock
OVERSIGHT HELD CAUSE
Legislature of 1919 Failed To
Provide when Repeating
Money, Law Credits

An oversight in the 1919 session OIL
the legislature will deprive the stati
of North Dakota Of tax on state bank
stocks estimated to amount to S447,'
900 in 1920 and $4OS,OOO in 1921.
The supreme court, in the case Of
the Farmers State Bank of Page
against the state tax commissions,
and the treasurer and sheriff Of Cass
county, holds that stock in state banks
Is not taxable.
The 1919 session OF the Legislature
repealed the money and credits act
which provided that money and cred
it's, including stocks and bonds, Wer:
exempt from taxation. An income tax
was substituted. Through what is be-
lieved by the tax commissioners Of
flee to have been an oversight on the
part OF legislators, the law was left
in such shape that the supreme court
holds that bank stocks still are ex-
empt from taxation, except the nomi-
nal capital stock case.
A case somewhat similar is pending
in federal courts in which the right
of the state to tax national bank stock
is questioned.
Judges Christianson and Bronson
disqualified in the case, because both
own bank stock, and District Judges
Nuessle and Berry sat in the case
Judge Grace dissented from the opin-
ion of the majority.
