4 •* A Oldest Financial Journal Serving The Central and Western States 4 4, No. 1143 Des Moines, Iowa New Tax Bill Aimed at National Banks «4| ** V -I 4 4M *r M 4 4 National banks would be re quired to pay property taxes a s sessed by state and local gov ernments under a new bill that is expected to be taken up in Congress this year. The measure, introduced by Rep. Bertrum Podell (D .,N . Y .), adds property tax liability to an earlier bill he also is sponsor ing that would make national banks subject to state and local sales and use taxes. The U. S. Supreme Court has ruled that national banks under present Federal statutes are immune from state and local in tangible personal property taxes and documentary stamp taxes as well as state and local sales and use taxes. It did this by upholding a lower court decision that had been appealed by Florida State Comptroller Fred 0 . Dickinson. Under Rep. Podell’ s latest bill (H.R. 3826), national banks would have to pay these types of taxes if state-chartered banks are subject to them. Rep. Podell first proposed legislation to broaden national bank tax liability last year fol lowing the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court holding that the National Bank Act provides no authority for state and local governments to require national banks to pay sales and use taxes. The high court, in the case of First Agricultural National Bank of Berkshire County v. Massa chusetts State Tax Commission, said Congress must amend the National Bank Act if national banks are to become liable to state and local sales and use taxes. Rep. Podell’ s bill is aimed at this objective. Early action on the measure in Congress this year has been expected ever since the Ameri can Bankers Association’ s Na tional and State Bank Divisions agreed unanimously to support legislation that would make na tional banks subject to state and local sales and use taxes that are applicable to state banks.

VAULT AND TIMELOCK EXPERTS F E. DAVENPORT & C O O M AH A KEY SPEAKERS included from left: Harvey Stephens, Robert P. Abate, L ee N oel, Clyde V . Hackney, George Morvis and Illinois Bankers Look at Truth in Lending By MALCOLM FREELAND P u blish er An in-depth study of the proposed Federal truth-in lending regulations drew a record crowd of more than 700 registrants at the 21st Annual Installment Lending Conference of the Illinois Bankers A ssociation in Springfield last week. Only about 400 were expected. Speaking on “ Truth-In-Lending and What Banks Have To Do’ ’ Harvey Stephens, partner, Brown, Hay & Stephens, Springfield, emphasized the Federal truth-inlending act is not a usury statute but that its sole purpose is to d isclose to the consumer the co s t of credit. Mr. Stephens explained that the new regulations will apply to any credit transactions involving personal, family, household or agricultural purposes. The regula tions will also cover all real estate loans. Special note was made of the fact that the regulations apply to all loans —not just installment loans. Scheduled to be effective July 1, 1969, the new regulations will exempt loans made for business or commercial purposes, loans to governmental bodies and loans to organizations. Credit above $25,000 is exempted unless secured by real estate. Lending officers will have to show the amount of the loan, prepaid finance charges, the available credit (what the customer actually receiv es) and all other charges which are not part of the finance charge (such as interest, service charges and loan fees, including credit reports). If credit life is included, the loan form must state that credit life is not necessary to making the loan and the customer must sign a form stating that he has been so advised. Penalties for not making full disclosure may be levied by the Fed, the Comptroller or the FDIC. In addition, thè debtor can recover two times the finance charges plus reasonable attorney fees. There is also a criminal penalty of $5,000 or one year in ja il or both. Some authorities feel that by the time bankers fully understand all of the ramifications of the new Federal truth-in-lending regulations the State of Illinois may pass its own Uniform Consumer Credit C ode, which could p ossibly supersede the federal regulations, depending on various interpretations, including those from the Fed. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis B ill Webber. Mr. Morvis serves as IBA secretary under Robert C. Schrimple, executive vice president. Robert P. Abate, chairman, installment lending divi sion , legislative committee, and vice president, Ameri can National Bank and Trust Company, Chicago, presented an “ off the record’ ’ report on federal and state legislation affecting installment lending. The Illinois legislature just recently received a bill pro posing a change in the legal rate of interest from 7% to 9%, excluding FHA and VA loans. At present, the A ssociation is making no strong push for a Uniform Consumer Credit Code in Illinois Special interest was shown by registrants in at least two other categories —charge cards and the Illinois state scholarship program. D iscussion on these subjects was conducted in “ bull s e ss io n s ” divided according to installment volume. Bob Hecht presented current facts on the Midwest Bank Card System and was questioned from the floor on some of the systems current problems, i-nchiding delays in approving credit cards and certain charge offs made on allegedly good accounts. Midwest now has over two million cards with some 90,000 merchant out lets. Gross volume in the last quarter was $46 mil lion. Charge o ffs are running at the rate of 1/8 of 1%. The System is now affiliated with Interbank, so that some Midwest cards (showing the identity) can be used either locally or nationally. Not all Midwest cards will be part of Interbank. This w ill depend on the credit criteria to be established. Lee N oel, associate executive director of the Illinois State Scholarship Commission, Deerfield, presented the current facts on the scholarship program within Illin ois. Harry E. Cruncleton, Jr., president, Installment Lending D ivision, and executive v ice president, First National Bank, East St. L ou is, welcomed the record breaking crowd. Forrest D. Norris, chairman, install ment lending conference, and assistant v ice president, First National Bank, Springfield, presdied at the general se ssio n s. Bull session s were moderated by N eil Cooney, chairman, and president, Bank of Elk Grove, Elk Grove V illage; Harley E. Hart, v ice pres ident, Commercial National Bank, Peoria; Clyde V. V. Hackney, vice president, LaSalle National Bank, C hicago, and Raymond W. F oote, v ice president, Harris Trust and Savings Bank, C hicago. B ill Webber, a s s is tant states attorney, talked on fraud and deceptive practices. Other leading participants were Leonard M. Cohen, general coufisel, Independent Finance A ssociation of Illin ois; Milton W. Schober, assistant to the director, division of supervision and regulation, Federal Reserve System, Washington, and Dr. James Ford, director, econom ics o ffice , Ford Motor Company, Detroit.

A A & At V y Montana Branch Decision... A three-judge U. S. Court of Appeals here has ruled that a national bank in Montana may re tain the office of a bank it merges despite the state’ s prohibition on branching. The Ninth Circuit Court in a brief order concurred in the 1967 opinion of Judge Russell E. Smith who upheld the merger of First National Bank, Butte, and the Daley National Bank, Anaconda. The bank now operates in both Montana cities, as First National Bank of Anaconda, a $27.9 milliondeposit bank. Daley National was an affiliate of Northwest Ban cor por at ion, Min neapolis, and First National now operates as a Northwest bank. The Montana Banking Department brought suit and was supported by amiscus briefs filed by the Inde pendent Bankers Association of America, the Independent Bankers of Minnesota, and the Western Independent Bankers A ssociation. The suit contended that the merger violated the state branching law and also violated the Federal Bank Holding Company by expand ing the out-of-state operation of a registered holding company.
