BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS
SEEK TAX EXEMPTION
Bill to That End introduced in Senate Today by
Mr.. Galinger.

Concerted action on the part of local
building and loan associations resulted
in a bill being introduced in Congress
this morning 1y Senator GaIliger TO ex-
empt them from taxation Provision is
now made for the taxation Of building
companies, under the act to provide rev
enues for the District. and The purpose
of this measure is to repeal such por-
tion as affects the petitioners.
The taxation of building and loan as
sociations has been disputed question
for years John Joy Edison is the lead
er OF the relief movement begun by the
companies. The bin was offered by Sen
ator Galling~r TO afford the petitioners
opportunity for being heard.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1903-02-03

In explanation Of this measure the sec
Tetary Of local building association
said:
a tax of per cent on the gross earn
ings Of building associations was made
law last winter. No part of the tax has
been collected as yet It is due in May
This bill was introduced at the instiga-
tion of the fifteen building associations
in Washington.
In New York and Pennsylvania and
most Of the other States there is no tax
on such building associations or savings
banks. Such a tax is a great burden on
their members, who are for the most part
of the poorer classes. This is proved by
the average payment. which is 81, and
the average saving, which is $500"
