Banks face tax correction amid Supreme Court challenge
Des Moines authorities announce a $39,181.45 adjustment to bank and trust company levies for 1919 to preempt possible ruling against exemptions on government obligations. Auditor J A Francis notes the move aims to protect county revenues if the Thirty-eighth General Assembly law is ruled unconstitutional, with Polk County case pending before the state’s high court. He cites potential refunds if the law stands and urges banks to await final decision while noting objections from Pike, Sias & Zimmerman and banking firms.
