MwQfl’Importnnt Decision_ by the United States Circuit Court of the Northern District of California. National banks are not lable to State taxation on personal property belonging to them. Such is the gist of a decision handed down yvesterday by Judge de Haven, sitting in the United States Cir- e E cision was in the case of the City and County of San Francisco against the Crocker-Woolworth National Bank of San Francisco, to_recover $7.754 64 taxes and interest alleged to be due by the bank for the year 1 on personal property. The bank interposed a demurrer to the complaint, setting up the contention that personal property of national banks is not a subject of taxation by the State. Judge de Haven's decision sustains the demurrer and gives judgment for the de- fendant with costs. In passing upon the demurrer the court said that Congress has declared that the real property of national banks shall be subject to State, county and‘municipal taxation, and that the shares in any such association shall be assessed as other personal Kroper!}' to the owner or holder of such shares. The effect of the statute is to exempt personal property belonging to national banks from direct assessment and taxation by the State—that is, per- sonal property cannot be directly assess- ‘ed to them by the State for the purpose of taxation.

A majority of votes | is more than one-half of the whole num- ber cast.

If Brown receives | 5000 votes, Jones 4000 and Robinson 3000 | neither has a majority of the 12,000 votes cast, but Brown has a plurality of 1000 over Jones. In most of the States of the | Union a plurality elects, but in Connecti- | cut and Rhode Island, if no candidate (as for Governor) fails to receive a ma- jority, the election goes to the Legisla- | ture. SMOKING—Puffs, Oakland, Cal. The questicn, “Is it improper for a man to smoke in the presence of ladies or of a lady?” is one that has been the subject of a great dea. of discussion. There are many who contend that it is highly im- proper to smoke in the presence of the | fair sex; there are many who half believe | that it is improper, yet they smoke all the same when in the presence of a lady or of ladies, and there are a great many who neither know nor care whether it is prop- | er or not. Possibly the best answer was | that given by a lady when asked by gentleman who was about to light a cf if smoking was offensive to her. It w. “T do not know, for no gentleman ever | smoked in my presence.” MONEY ORDERS—Subscriber, City.
