burdens that savings banks have to
bear in the way Of taxation" assert
ed Representative Cummings Monday
to a Journal reporter. 1t Is gener-
ally regarded that the savings banks
are Disseminated against under the
existing law. They are restricted in
their investments and they also pay
a state tax of II of one percent on the
savings after certain deductions are
made.
UNLESS some such method Is
adopted the savings banks must
eventually go out of existence" con-
tinued Mr.. Cummings. And another
phase Of the matter is that the state
would receive about 100000 a year
from a tax on the savings deposits in
national banks and 1t would be pro-
duced in a just way"
Matters for This Week
The sessions for this week will not
begin until 40 this afternoon, yes
terday having been passed by so that
the solons could attend town meet
ings, but it is probable that there
will be Monday afternoon sessions
after this week.
A grist of measures will be intro
duces today. it is anticipated, this
being the last day for the presenta-
ton of new acts.
Among the many committee reports
that are expected to be made this
week is that on the proposed change
in railroad taxation. A favorable re-
port is expected from the committee,
but what will happen when the mea-
sure gets into the House Is another
matter.
The matters scheduled for hearing
today include: an act making it I'M
lawful for any person to have in
toxicating liquors in his possession in
any public place; a long list Of high
way and bridge resolves: three acts
relating to county salaries and a
good number of resolves COR the pur-
chase OF books by the state. Rich
mond's claim for state owned bridg
over the kennebec river will be aired
before the committee on ways and
bridges at 7.30 this evening.
State Highway and Bridge Program
A resolution calling for a $4,000, 900
bond issue and three-cent gasoline
tax is expected to come to the Legis-
lature for enactment from the COM
mittee on ways and bridges which
has had under consideration the road
program for the coming wear. This
amount would be used exclusively
for bridge construction and does not
include a bridge across the Kennebec
river. which if built, would require
separate bond issue.
There will be no request for a bond
issue with which to carry on a pro-
gram of road construction. but there
will be a provision recommending
that there be no let up or reduction
in the amount Of good roads that Will
be constructed.
The committee has figured out a
