The evasion of payment of taxes on money or mortgages and a plan to lay thv burden of taxes on real estate upon the borrower has Just been reported to Henry Seymour, the state secretary of the board of assessment. In a county of the state a certain alleged ahylock In order to escape paying the tax on money loaned by blm doea not take mortgages but Instead, ac cepts a deed te the land and executes a contract to return the deed upon the payment of a certain sum of money at a certain time. Whether this money loaned Is subject to taxation or not Is the ques tion which Mr, Seymour of the assessment board has decided In the affirmative by citing a section of the statutes which says that this plan of evasion subjects the one who follows it to a fine of not lens than 50 and not more than $2,000. The section cited by the secretary of the board re lates to the false listing of property or a refusal to give the assessor a list of taxa ble property held by the owner or the tem porary conversion of taxable property Into untaxable property merely for the pur- v 1 Banks Mar Have to Fay. Notice of the eleventh state bank since January l,to apply .to the authorities at Washington for permission to nationalise waa that ot the State bank: at Oshkosh, which has Just been received! by the State Banking- board here. Just what bearing this will have on the collection of the 1 per cent called for under the provisions of the bank guaranty fund Is a question which Secretary Hoyse of the banking board asserts may cause some contention, but which, he declares, he will attempt to get Into the state treasury regardless ol the fact that the eleven banks which were formerly chartered by the state have since become nationalized. . ' Five farmer cltisens of Mascot, an at tractive little bamlet In Harlan county, which boasts besides that village the resi dency of former Governor Shailenberger, came to the city today to boost their place in the eyes of the Board of Publlo Lands and Buildings and by so doing flirt with the Southwestern Agricultural school, which Is soon to be located In that part of the state by the aforesaid board. Mayor Jack Grace was the spokesman for the crowd when they waited upon the board. The visitors offered the state a half sec tion of land, a . cash bonus of unknown amount and the promise that no saloon should ever be operated In the village. ,Th Board of Publlo Lancia and Build ings, Land Commissioner Cowles, Btata Treasurer George, Attorney General Mar tin and Secretary of State Wilt assured the Mascot men that they would be given equal consideration with the other con testants for the place and that their vil lage, Jon with the others, would be visited by. the board when casting around for the alt for the new Institution.
