Bank Tax Controversy Spurs Ohio Clerks and Bankers
The Huron Reflector reports a heated debate over the new banking and tax laws. Dr Edson B Olds and Locofocos are attacked for opposing a tax on banks, arguing current rates are unfair and that banks should pay like other property. A long comparison of tax schemes, profits, and regional impacts follows, plus a note on Ohio Volunteers marching to New Orleans with a letter from Captain Woodruff describing travel, health, and a soldier’s death in the river.
