MAY NOT TAX
BANK ACCOUNTS
Tax Committees Plan Is
Unpopular In Business
Circles

The report of the taxation commit
tee, George w. Tannahill chairman.
that was made to the Booster" club
at their meeting Tuesday evening has
been the subject of considerable dis
cussion in business circles the past two
days.
The feature of the report dealing
with the taxation of money and mort
cages is generally conceded to be a
matter that will not be further con-
sidered by the club for the reason
that the state of Washington, at the
recent session of the legislature, pass
ed a law exempting money and mort :
cages from taxation and the DISPOSE
ton of Idaho to collect such taxes
would only result in the transfer of
the moneys and securities from Idaho
to Washington.
The act of the Washington legisla-
ture has resulted in a marked increase
in the bank deposits of that state
and already money from points with
out the state has been placed on de-
posit with Washington bankers. Large
sums of money that has been de-
posted in safety deposit vaults and
other places of security has found its
way into circulation by reason OF the
new act and a general reduction In
interest rates is expected owing to the
large increase Of money that has for
merly been withheld from circulation
but which will now seek investment.
The following, taken from the Pa
cific Banker, of March 30 shows thu
effect Of the open law in that state:
"a very perceptible effect of thu
! value of the Gum bill, exemptint
money and mortgages from taxation
has alreay been observed, None o
the ordinary subterfuges to avoid tax
alton. were used this year. Many per
sons who kept sums of money hiddeI
in safety deposit vaults or other place
of concealment have deposited 1t IL
hanks and 1t has Immediately passed
into the channels of trade and com
merce, doing fits part in creating tax
able property that win considerably
swell the assessment next year"
