N this case it was held that the owner of shares of stock in a

IN

National bank should be taxed therefor in the city or town where he resides, and not in the city or town where the bank is located. This case attempted to give a construction to the act of Congress, and as it then read, provided that shares of stock in a National bank should be taxed "at the place where such bank is located." Subsequently Congress declared that the words "place where such bank is located "should be held to mean "the State within which the bank is located." Act approved Feb. 10, 1868.

VAN SLYKE V. STATE.

(23 Wisconsin, 656.)

N this case it was decided that a State tax on shares of stock in National banks was valid, although the tax on State banks was not eo nomine a tax on shares, it being an equivalent to a tax on shares. The case was affirmed in Baynall v. State, 25 Wis. 112.

When this case was decided, the 41st section of the National Banking Act provided that a tax on shares of stock in National banks should not exceed "the rate imposed upon the shares in any of the banks organized under the authority of the State where such association is located." The section was afterward amended so as to omit such limitation. See Lionberger v. Rouse, ante, pp. 41, 44.
