Osborne said yes terday he had 'received information that the bankers of Nebraska in tend to contest the taxation of cap ital stock in national banks.

The tax commissioner said his in formation is that the bankers' or ganization has employed E. M. Mors- man of Omaha as its attorney, and will appeal from the levy. Many state and national banks I gave in their property for taxation this year with a written protest at tached, so they are said to feel they are in a position to participate in a test suit to resist collection.
