Guaranty Fund Commission Says Taxing Bank Taken Over Is Wrong
Lincoln, Neb., The insistence of Treasurer Nelson of Cedar county that the guaranty fund commission should pay taxes on the Farmers State bank of Belden or he would levy a distress warrant has forced the commission to ask the sufreme court to be relieved of the payment of $675 levied. The commission tok the bank over as a going concern, and the treasurer and the district court said it ought to pay taxes. The commission says sit should not because taxes are based on the value of the capital stock and surplus of a bank, and these were wiped out long before it took hold. Its attorneys tell the court, in brief just filed, that it is nc the corporate property of a bank, that is taxed, but the shares held by individuals, and that the bank is assessed merely because this is convenient way of collecting the tax. The further point is made that the claims is inequitable, as the guaranty fund will have to put up $60,000 to $70,000, which comes out of the pockets of the solvent bankers of the state, and they should not be required to put up taxes in addition. The claim is also made that the law is invalid since it taxes banks more than the owners of private capital who come in competition in loaning money, and that as national bank receivers are not required to pay taxes, state bank receivers should also be exempt.
