From all purts | of the State are representatives, and for the next two days these men of flnance will- consider questions vital to the con- duct of banks. The gathering is a nota- ble one In regard to the wealth and prom- | inence of its members, Many interesting questions will be dis- cussed. One of these is that of taxation. Under existing methods bankers claim that it often occurs that capital interested in corporations pays taxes twice, and in many States this is an interesting ques- | tion at present. In some States the man-' ufacturing plant is taxed at its full value and the holder of the stock is also taxed for the value of his holdings.
