Banks Settle Tax Matter

The injunction suits filed more
than a year ago in common pleas
court by the five National banks of
Morgan county, to restrain the county
treasurer from collection of taxes
as assessed against said banks, have
been settled. For some time the
National banks or the state have
contended that National banks had
been illegally taxed and that the
National banks should be taxed on
the same basis as the Building H.
Loan companies-that to tax them
differently showed a discrimination
and a violation Of the provisions OF
Sec. S-219, Revised Statutes of the
U. S. The matter was brought to
trial in the federal court at Colum-
bus, and that court decided in favor
of the National banks, holding that
the law authorizing the collection OF
such taxes is discriminating and IL
legal. From that court the matter
was carried to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, where it is
as yet undecided.
In the year 1927 the banks of
this county paid taxes as assessed,
but paid them under protest, and
the collections of taxes for the
years 1928, 1929 and 1890 were
temporarily enjoined The banks
! offered to pay AZ percent of the
taxes for the said years 1928, 1929
and 1880, upon condition that they
receive credit upon said AZ percent,
for the amount paid for the year
1927. This was acceptable to the
local county officials. The entry Of
E, Judge Weber reads: Looking to the
uncertainty Of the collection of any
of said taxes or assessments, the
court finds the offer of settlement
to be fair and reasonable to both
parties hereto, and the same ought
to be and is, accepted in full ad-
| Justment and settlement of this
, cause" The court orders that no in
terest or penalty be charged against
said banks, and that the defendant
be enjoined forever from collecting
further taxes on the years named
other than that offered to be paid
| by the banks. Neither of the par
ties desiring to appeal or prose-
cute error, the court orders that up
on the banks paying said sums
agreed upon, to county treasurer,
| the cases against the banks are
| closed, final entry being made Of
same. Defendant is to pay costs OF
the action.
Under the new law which recent
! ly went into effect, the banks are
taxed under different method from
, heretofore.
By the settlement, the banks will
pay the sum of $500. Under this
settlement it is figured that the
banks have paid approximately the
same in taxes for the past four
| years, as they would pay under the
new law which recently went into
| effect. 1t must also be remembered
that during the years past, the in
dividual depositors have been pay
ing taxes on their deposits Now the
banks pay taxes on the deposits, Sc
that depositors are relieved of this
tax.

Two Fairs Or Oneo

Morgan county can now boast of
one fair. Through the efforts Of the
county fair board, the Chesterhill
fair board, and the county commits
sioners the two fairs of the county
were recently consolidated.
In the place of two fairs strug-
Cling for existence there will be but
one, and unquestionably better
supported one. In spite of the fact
that $4,000 had been appropriated
yearly from the general fund of the
county resources, mandatory under
the state law, both fair boards faced
large deficits. There will be a saw
for the county by the Chesterhill
fair going out of business 1t can
readily be seen that one fair in the
county will greatly reduce county
expenditures. Too, instead of the
county being divided in fair inter-
ests, all efforts can be directed to-
ward making Morgan county fair
one of the best in the state, one of
which every citizen may well be
proud. The consolidation Of the
two fairs was big undertaking.
Many difficulties loomed in the way,
and for weeks after the move was
started it was doubtful whether it
would be accomplished. But per-
sistence won another battle and the
interests of the Chesterhill fair are
now centered in helping to make
Morgan county fair bigger and bet
ter.
Moran county has taken a step
which in normal times should be
heralded as appropriate, but at a
time like this it should receive the
hearty support and cooperation of
every Morgan countian.-Eastern
