Morris Endorses ^Repeal of State s Banking Tax Law {i — rIii Letter to State Senate He Says Proposal Is Similar to One Passing National ^ Congress. Lincoln, Jan. C9.—(Special.)—United States Senator George W. Norris has written a letter to the Nebraska sen ate dealing with the bank tax bill, introduced in the upper branch of the state legislature, proposing the repeal of the law taxing capital stock of banks on the tangible basis, and tax bills receivable on the intangible basis. The aim of Its introducers is to collect taxes on state banks in the same manner as on national banks. Senator Norris says both houses of congres* have passed a bill on this subject, which is now in conference. Briefly, It provides that if states tax banks on capilal stock, which is the present method in Nebraska, the as sessment shall not be heavier than on other mercantile and similar establish ments, or that both classes of banks may be taxed nllke on income. Mr. Norris says he voted for the bill, though not satisfied that it corrects the present muddle. His ideu is to enact a law whereby states are al lowed to tax national and state banks alike. By a recent decision of the United States supreme courf. national banks '.cannot be taxed in exr^ess of other ^pjptcyed capital in the hands of indi >uiluals. In 40 states, national banks are exempted by this ruling, from 1 laying state taxes, and may even col lect bank taxes paid under such stat utes. A test case is now pending in the Nebraska supreme court. 1922 Sounds Taps for r 156 G. A. R. Members Lincoln, Jan. 29.—(Special.)— Taps were soundgd last year for 13(5 mem bers of the Nebraska G. A.
