SPEAKER BYRD ON
BANK DEPOSIT LEGISL ALTON

Richard Evelyn Byrd. former Speaker
OF the House OF Delegates. gave out
last night the following statement on
the bank deposit bill:
II have read with care the views ex-
pressed by Governor-Elect stuart as to

posts and the bill proposed by, Mr..
Jordan, which embodied these views
1T seems to me the General Assembly

"Q) Every tax should he considered

OF the tax itself, but it's relative equity
compared to other tax subjects.

assessment and collection and the re-
sultant effect on business.

THE reasons given by the Bankers
Association for this specific tax Of 3J
| cents on the 500 were these:
81. IT will secure more adequate
return of money in bank, as the JUS
tice OF the law will appeal to the aver
age citizen.
"'a: 1t Will encourage saving. in that
1t Will relieve the people of q tax

cfpie OF justice and will reform policy

30. 1t will prevent the permanent

Investors to place their money in Vir-
glnin banks, where,it may be available
1T Is perfectly obvious that if q tax
OF 30 cents Is just and eXpedient: that
II such tax Will not only not drive cap
ital from the State, but invite II here, IL
tax of 20 cents will certainly not inJ,iro
business. Public opinion will not per-
manently consent to q lIasty law

posits greater by 25 cents on the $IOO
than the bankers themselves say is
just and fair.

Jordan bill--eSpressing tho opinion OF
Governor Elect Stunrt-is much the
| safest and Wisest.

capped If in advance OF the considern-
ton OF any general system they start
