Relief for alleged unfair taxation
of building and loan associations is
proposed by the governor as fol-
lows:
"The law requires that funds OF
these organizations shall be loaned
on real estate and on their own
stock and it appears that by taxing

might be renledied through the ap-
plication of an income tax. Tenn

might be effected by removing from
taxation installnent stocks Of build
ing and loan associations while con-
tinuing their paid-up stocks for
taxation at a classified rate as in
tangibles."
