legislate against the companies in this way.
The S2,5OO,0OO invested by non.residents
would be soon withdrawn.
Mr.. Smith observed that the wind had
changed and was glad to see so many of the
members willing to assist the poor. If the
legislature raises the tax to one per cent we
injure the poor and lose money ourselves.
Mr.. Mansur: off we 90 to work to tax
savings banks the borrower will be obliged
to pay higher rates. The rule is that the
amount of deposits. Many deposits are for
a short time and not possible to be loaned,
so that these small sums must go in the av-
erage and those who pay four per cent.
would be likely to withdraw their invest
ments. In my opinion one-third of the de-
posits would be withdrawn, if the bill should
be passed"
Mr.. Freeman stated that savings bank
corporations were paying more proportion
ately than railroad or other corporations.
Messrs Hall of Orwell and Hall of Groton
favored the bill.
The gentleman from Putney called for the
