Bankers Attack Constitutionality of State Tax Law
The Indiana tax board heard Volney Malott for six Indianapolis banks challenge who can appeal fixed property valuations and the law's constitutionality. Attorney R F Stuart argued for James Carter that the American National stock should be valued at 120000 rather than 254000, potentially boosting Indiana taxable property by about 40 million. Board members and Governor Durbin debated newspaper quotation reliability as Malott pressed the text. After heated exchanges the session went into executive and the hearing resumed under attorney-general guidance.
