JOINT RESOLUTION Requesting
the Governor of the State Of
Minnesota to Transmit to the
Governors of All the States Copies
of Joint Resolution Relating to
Taxation of National Banks.
Whereas, this state and all the other
states of the United States have
been virtually deprived Of the power
to tax national banks by reason
of interpretations of the federal
statutes governing the states In
such taxation; and
Whereas, the states are required
to tax state banks upon the same
basis as national banks, because If
state banks were taxed upon any
higher basis than national banks,
state banks would be forced out Of
business; and
Whereas, the Legislature has
adopted a Joint Resolution memoir
ializing Congress to SO amend the
federal law (Section 5219 R.S.U.S0
as to permit the states to tax ma
tional banks provided that the tax
on national banks should not be at
a higher rate than the tax I'M
posed by the state upon state
banks; and
Whereas, it is Of the utmost I'M
portance that all the other states
Of the United States join with the
State of Minnesota in this effort
to secure the passage by Congress
Of a bill giving the states such
power;
Now, Therefore, Be 1t Resolved by
the Legislature Of Minnesota, that
the Governor of this State be and
he Is hereby respectfully requested
to send to each Governor of each
State Of the United States, q certi-
fled copy Of such resolution with q
request that each Governor trans
NIT the same to the legislature Of
his state, with a special message
thereon that such legislature take
such action in the matter as seems
to it proper.

memorializing Congress to dis

gasoline.
Whereas, the question Of State
finance is becoming increasingly
difficult, and
Whereas, State incomes are de-
rived primarily from direct taxes
on real and personal property, and
Whereas, the Federal Govern
ment from its inception has dele
gated to itself the control Of such
sources of taxation as the tariff,
excise and income taxes, practically
to the exclusion Of the States, and
Whereas, the States lacking such
taxing powers, inaugurated the
policy Of taxing gasoline as a partial
solution of its taxation problem:
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
Senate of the State Of Minnesota,
the House Of Representatives con-
curing, that we respectfully pc
tition the Congress Of the United
States to recede from it's policy of
imposing a national tax on gasoline,
so that the State may avail itself
of this source of income to be levied
by it for such purposes as its Con-
stitution and laws may direct.
Be it further resolved, that copies
of this resolution be transmitted by

tary Of the Senate of the United
States, and the Chief Clerk Of the

memorializing the Congress of
the United States to appropriate
funds to provide care for needy,
aged, unallOtted Indians.
Whereas, there are several hundred
unallotted Indians eligible to re-
ceive Old Age Assistance in the
State of Minnesota, and
Whereas, because Of their status
as residents of Indian reservations
they and their property are not
subject to taxation by the state OF
county in which they reside, and
Whereas, because Of the heavy
burden placed upon these counties
in making payments Of Old Age
Assistance to qualified, tax-paying
residents, the counties are under
excessive financial strain, and
Whereas, it is an undue hard
ship upon the said state and coun-
ties to provide care for these I'M
allotted Indians because Of the
facts above stated;
Now, therefore, be It resolved, by
the Senate of the State Of Mime
sofa, the House of Representatives
concurring, that we respectfully
urge and petition the Congress of
the United States and President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, to pass legis-
lation providing Federal funds for

referred to needy, aged, unallotted
Indians, and

Therefore, be it resolved that we

OF the low interest rates of the
farm credit administration on farm
loans and believing that this in

Whereas, Although the federal act
in form permits states to tax the
net incomes of banks or to levy a
tax measured by or according to
such net income, such method is
entirely and wholly unjust, inequit-
able and inadequate. Because first,
when such method is used by
state it is j. lieu of all other forms
of taxation. Second, any such bank
is entirely tax free unless it makes
a net profit, whereas all other per-
sons, owners Of property must
pay a tax whether they make a
profit or loss. This places the ma
tional banks in privileged class
and exempts them from paying any
share Of the public burden during
the period when they do not make
a net profit, thus shifting their
share Of the tax burden upon other
property owners. Third, in all the
states where the net income, or
measured by net income methods
have been used, the shrinkage in
taxes collected from banks have
ranged from 66-1s% to 900, as
compared to former tax collections
under the share tax plan; and
Whereas, Because Of the decisions
Of courts holding void taxes upon
the shares of national banks the
whole matter Of taxing banks both,
national and state, has been thrown
into great confusion, many Of the
states have been persuaded to
abandon the share method Of tax
ing banks and have either adopted
