STATE BANKERS APPEAL TO
CONGRESS AGAINST TAX PLAN
Continued from Page Three

the fact that it is proposed to raise
the exemptions in the case of individ-
ual incomes and also to reduce the
normal tax. 1t was felt that the
capital stock tax should be dropped
and the tax on corporation incomes
lowered so as to approximate the in
dividual income. The resolution
adopted on the subject follows:
"Resolved-That it is the sense of
this meeting that lit is indefensible to
maintain the corporation tax at 1917
per cent and annex the capital stock
tax creating no deduction and raise
Smyrna times., 1926-02-03

personal exemption and decrease nor
NAL taxes on individual incomes,
Thereby creating the unjust and dis
proportionate rate between corporate
and individual taxes which has never
before existed. We therefore recon-
mend the elimination of capital stock
tax and a reduction of corporation in
come tax until it accords more nearly
with the rate of the normal tax on
individual incomes.
Resolved, Further that a copy of
this resolution be sent to our Repre-
sentative at Washington and copy
sent to the Senate Finance Commit
tee."

President Coolidge sent to the Sen
ate last week the nomination of Ma
poleon B. Register to be postmaster

According to a statement by John
Medders, clerk to the Board of Kent
County Commissioners at Chester
town, there will be very little money
available from the annual bond issue
of $1,000 with which to build lateral
roads in the county during the coming
spring and summer, and yet numer-
Gus requests are being received from
taxpayers in various sections of the
county for improved roads. The prob
able lack of funds is due to the fact
that during the past fall the commits
,sioners obligated themselves to use a
part of this years bond issue in pay
ing for an extension of the newly
completed Piney Neck road near Rock
Hall, and it is believed that the bal
ance owed on that stretch of road will
consume the greater portion Of the
coming bond issue.

Oppose McFadden Bill

State Bank Commissioner Harold |
w. Horsey was accorded the privilege |
of the floor 10 present the matter in
cluded in the McFadden bill now
pending before Congress, where GER
tain banks in Delaware would be pre-
vented from joining the Federal Re-
serve System if the bill should pass
in it's original form, the bill making
it impossible for banks in the State
having branches elsewhere in the
State, from joining the Federal Re-
serve System.
After explaining the effect of the
McFIadden bill and the relief afforded
in the Sims amendment, which would
allow such banks with their branches
to ioin the Federal Reserve, the fol-
lowing resolution was presented by
John S. Rossell, and adopted and or
dered sent at once to Congressman
! Houston in Washington, where the
bill is now pending and likely to come
up for passage at any time:
"ReSOlved That we are unalterably
opposed to the McFadden bill now
pending in Congress insofar as it pro-
hibits membership in the Federal Re-
serve System of banks having branch
es outside their home cities, thereby
depmving these banks of the privil-
eges and advantages of this system
if desired and weakening the system
to that extent; and also thereby pre-
| ,-o,+ +;,,o. 4l,o .ooIi1o+;Op of foa bODo Of
many friends and supporters of the
system that ultimately the entire
banking interests of the community
will be combined under this system;
and we urge the adoption of the Sims
amendment to said bill allowing ex-
listing hanks having branches to be
admitted to the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn"
The subject of a code of ethics
among bankers was presented, copies
of a code now in operation in west
eIn state being distributed to those
present. After a full discussion in
which all agreed that such a thing
would be most advantageous to bank
ers, the president was authorized tt
appoint a committee to consider the
copy of the code of ethics presented
from the western state and repOT
back its action at the March meeting
in Wilmington. President Stout ap

With lineup including many of

the gruelling struggle they had a
year ago with the same team was
still vivid on the West Point plat
