-4-A Lincoln Bureau of The Omaha Bee ATTORNEY DAVIS GIVES ADVICE ON BANK ASSESSING State Board Sends Out Advice Relative to What Deduc tions Will Be Made. From Stocks. Lincoln, May 24. The State Board of Assessment is still wrest ling with the subject, of assessment tof Liberty bonds, time deposits and 'the like held by banks and in re sponse to a request of the attorney general for an opinion, Mr. Davis ays: "In answer to your question I will say that the supreme court has held that the statutory provision (elative to the taxation of banks in he state 'is a provision not for tax ing the corporation therein named on their capital stock, but for taxing the shareholders upon the value of the stock held by them.' State vs. (Fleming, 70 Neb.; 529.) This being (true, the real and ultimate fact to (determine is the real rvalue of the capital stock. This is not neces sarily measured exclusively and en tirely by the amount of the paid up capital of the corporation, plus surplus and undivided profits, al though the statute provides that those matters shall be considered jin connection with the market value, and the condition of its business, if it is a state bank, as shown by ts last report to the State Banking Board, in determining the real val ht of its slock. i I As to Usual Plan. ' "I am informed, however, that the usual, and: in fact, the almost universal custom is to consider the paidup capital of the bank, plus its surplus and undivided profits as being the measure of the gross value of its stock and then to make cer tain reductions in order to de termine the net value for assess ment purposes. . "If this plan is followed, the de ductions permitted should be limited, in my opinion, in most in stances, to the value of real estate or other tangible property belong ing 'to the bank and- otherwise assessed to it." " v ; Following the advice of the attorney general, the board adopted jcsoluttons that the secretary of the bosrd be instructed to notify county P. A. Barrows, Correspondent. assessors that no deductions from the valuation of the capital stock, surplus and undivided profits will be allowed, other than when the company or institution has acquired real estate or other tangible prop; erty which is assessed separately and in that case the assessed value of such real estate or tangible prop erty shall be deducted shall be de ducted from the capital stock. The items not proper for reduction are interest on savings accounts; cer tificates of deposit; Liberty bonds, time certificates of deposits; un earned interest on notes or other property.

Lincoln, May 24. Nebraska's $150,000,000 wheat crop will be al lowed to move only by the permit system, according to a bulletin re ceived by the state railway commiV sion today. This is necessary because of the big cjops 'of other states which will be thrown on the market before the Nebraska crop is ready. As there has been a guarantee made by the government as to the price there will be no incentive for holding the crop, and this will throw the load on the railroads at one time. It is feared that there will be a heavy congestion at the Omaha ter-' minals in conjunction with the wheat from Oklahoma and Kansas, and unless the Omaha terminal is held open for the Nebraska wheat. there may be trouble. H. T. Clark of the Omaha Grain exchange, bow ever, believes that the matter can be satisfactorily arranged by hold ing the Omaha exchange open for the Nebraska crop only.

'The allied powers justify Japan's retention of the economic interests pf Shantung because of the Kao-Su jBnd Taishun treaties, but overlooked that the said treaties, being con cluded unofficially and not having been ratified by the national as sembly, are void. If the Chinese ' claims for the Shantung interests and Tsing Tao fails, China will never forget the injustice and her resentment will- result in Japan's losing more than she gains. "The Chinese people are now as watchful as before they were apathetic. We 1 must ensure our ideals being fully expressed before the world. Admiring your' noble principles of justice and equality, we Chinese request your co-operative efforts in our claim in order to secure expression for President Wilson's 14 points and the lofty aims involved in the calling of the international peace conference.'
