A part of his argu- ment betame a colloquy with Mr. Hellstrom. Mr. Divet akked whether Mr. Hell- strom considered it fair to attempt to tax the banks now when section 2 of the validating act had been held up for referendum to the people. He said that if the people upheld the law the state would be wiped clean and the board could not act. If the people turned down the law the board still’ could take the action they now are taking, he said. Mr. Divet denied that he had any- thing to do with the validating law of the last legislature, saying that he believed the law was retroactive and therefore unconstitutional. Mr. Hellstrom declared the theory of summoning the banks in to show cause why they should not be taxed was that all other methods to assess taxes against the bank had failed. With regard to the validating law, Mr. Divet said that he knew the leg- islature was enacting it, and while he did not think it was constitutional he might be, mistaken, and that he {had said that he was willing, that any steps be taken which .might force about 20 banks in the state to pay the tax which all banks had agreed to pay, but which they were not legally obligated to pay. This afternoon the commissioners were to take up the matter of taxing various individuals and corporations.
