Dole, Regan Aim Pressure at Banks
REM ENDOUS pressure was be­
ing exerted late last week by
Sen. Dole and Treasury Secretary
Donald Regan against the commer­
cial banking industry by threaten­
ing them with increased taxes on
banks if they don’t quit stirring up
the public in the industry’s effort to
have withholding on interest and
dividends repealed. These voiced
threats served only to anger par­
ticipants in the A B A ’s Leadership
Banking Conference who were meet­
ing late last week at the H yatt
Regency H otel in Washington, D.C.
A t press time, those registrants re­
mained firm in their resolve to work
for repeal of the withholding law. In­
dications were that their efforts now
would be directed more to a con­
certed shift to trying to get Sen.
Dole and Secretary Regan to under­
stand banking’s position, rather
than being adamantly opposed just
because the administration feels
they should be the tax collectors.
1RS estimates the revenues from
10% withholding on interest and
dividends will recoup about $8
billion a year on dividend and in­
terest income lost for non-reporting.
A B A maintains that reporting and
matching of 1099s, authorized for
1RS by Congress, and which now in­
cludes jumbo CDs, would leave only
$1.5 billion estimated that is not
paid up front. To collect that re­
maining amount, the withholding

T

bill has saddled financial institu­
tions and dividend paying firms
with the burden of becoming tax col­
lectors. The A B A estimates this
cost for banking would exceed the
$1.5 billion that would be collected
and is penalizing banks.
A B A says the tradeoff of use of
float of these funds would not cover
such cost, and recognizes that with­
in a short time, a “ public outcry” by
later Congressional or government
personnel would demand that such
“ free” money be returned to the
government.

Another “ Open Letter”
Sen. Charles Grassley
232 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Senator Grassley:
Your time is valuable and so is mine, so I ’ll
be direct.
I have served the reporting of hanking
news in Iowa and the nation for more than 37
years and seldom, if ever, have I seen in­
dustry leaders as concerned as they are
about the provisions of withholding of 10%
on interest and dividends. In an effort to ex­
ercise their right to protest through the
system the taxation to which they object,
they are now being threatened vindictively
by Senator Dole and Treasury Secretary
Regan with additional bank taxation if they
exercise that right. W hat kind of leadership
is that? I damn near lost my life 38 years ago
this month fighting a war to make sure that
kind of system could not be imposed on the
free world—and now here you people in

Washington are pursuing that course! I can’t
believe it. Opposition, yes; but threats and
vindictiveness, never!
When it all washes out, it appears Trea­
sury and IR S stand to pick up about $1.5
billion additional that might not be obtained
with honest reporting. You people in Con­
gress have authorized reporting-and-matching but that hasn’t even been tried.
Since there is so much debate about who is
right, I offer you this suggestion. You and
the Iowa delegation to Congress should come
back home, spend two days in whichever
banks you choose around the state, visit with
the executive officers and find out how much
it is costing them to comply with this with­
holding bill, and the unbelievably compli­
cated steps they’ll have to follow—under con­
stant threat of additional penalties “ for
failure to comply,’’ etc.
That’s all I ask. Come back here your­
selves—or select your own C P A firm and get
such a report firsthand. I think you owe that
to the constituents here at home. IR S wants
bankers to become whistleblowers, but
wants the bankers to buy their own whistle
and pay for the tickets.
More than 400 bankers from all over the
nation are meeting now at the Hyatt Regen­
cy Hotel there in Washington. I f you truly
care about what concerned Iowans think
about a bill that will cost them thousands of
dollars to comply with, perhaps you may
wish to take the time to contact them now or
invite them to your office to discuss this mat­
ter. If you want help finding some banks to
visit, they will give you the list of the more
than 600 Iowa banks from which you can
select.
I will appreciate a reply regarding this sug­
gestion and your position. I f it’s a form let­
ter, please save the postage.
Cordially yours,
Ben Haller, Jr., Publisher

Nebraska News
The Nebraska unicameral legis­
lature passed LB58 by a vote of
30-17 on February 16 and sent it
that day to Governor Robert Ker­
rey, who had stated in earlier
testimony he would sign such a bill
if it was enacted. LB58 authorizes
the formation of multi bank holding
companies in Nebraska, a move that
has been bitterly contested for the
past decade by Nebraska indepen*
dent banks.
Each M BHC may hold 9% of the
total deposits in commercial banks
and savings and loans in the State of
Nebraska. The bill also provides
that any bank may establish an ad­
ditional three full-service detached
facilities within its home community
by 1985, bringing this total to five.
An amendment also authorizes banks
to acquire a cooperative credit asso­
ciation within its'hom e or a con­
tiguous county.

IM P E R IA L : Donald R. Banks has
been promoted from vice president
to senior vice president of Chase
County Bank & Trust Company. He
has been with the bank since 1974.

Minnesota News
A t 7:10 p.m., February 9, 1983,
Commissioner o f Banks John D.
Chisholm closed the State Bank of
Baraum, Baraum, and appointed
the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor­
poration (FD IC) as receiver. Mr.
Chisholm’s statement on the closing
said:
“ The State Bank of Barnum was
chartered as a state bank by the
State of Minnesota and opened for
business on M ay 6,1940. A t the end
of December 31,1982, the bank’s de­
posits totaled $13,056,000.
“ The Commissioner indicated the
problems in the bank which led to its
closing were the result o f gross mis­
management and were not related to
current economic conditions. The
bank, rather than relying on local
deposits and loans, went into the
open market and purchased out-ofstate brokered funds and made sub­
stantial investments in loans se­
cured by time-share mortgages.
These mortgages were of question­
able value at the time of purchase
and subsequent failure by the seller/servicer to remit payments as
agreed has resulted in a substantial
loss to the bank contributing to an
impairment of its capital and to the
determination that it is unsafe and
inexpedient for it to continue busi­
ness.”
