The Savings Bank Tax.

AUGUSTA, November 80 The savings bank
men are moving again to ask the next legis-
lature for reduction in taxation They
say that the rate, seven-eghths of one per
cent. on investments outside the State and
tive-eighths Within is too high, and they will
probably fix on reduction of one-eighth of
one per cent. as satisfactory 1t is pointed
out that after January 1st there will be but
two or three savings banks in the State paw
ing az much as four per cent. on deposits and
they will doubtless have to come down to
the level of the others. A comparison is
drawn between the high taxation of the saw
ings banks as compared with that of the
wild lands. The banks have an efficient
committee on legislation, Hon. l.. c. Cornish
of Augusta, Seth L. Carter of Lewiston,
