Maryland Tax Bill Scored
By Savings and Loan Men
BY DONALD B. HADLEY

Savings and loan associations Of the District and Maryland
have been called to battle against proposal all
ons doing business in Maryland 10 cents 500
vested capital savings in the end of
year.
Both MARYLAND savings and loan called
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-03-17

berS to oppose the measure and
following a conference with
leaders of those groups Tuesday,
officials Of the District Savings
and Loan League called on men,
Der associations to bring all pos
sible influence to bear against
the bill. A number of Dis
trict associations with Maryland
branches will be affected.
The measure was introduced
in the Maryland General Assem-
bly, as Senate Bill SIG by Sena-
tor Edward S. Northrop, Demo-
Icrat of Montgomery County, who
estimates the tax would yield
close to 81 million a year.
He has predicted the tax will
not be injurious to the big saw
ings and loan associations and
will not hurt the little ones at
all. 1t now is before the Senate
finance committee but no hear
ing has been scheduled so far.
District associations are not
certain whether the tax would
be applied to invested capital of
their entire organizations or
only to that of their Maryland
branches. but they condemn it
as triple taxation.
Proposed Levy Condemned
As Triple Taxation
This tax poses a triple tax on
savings and loan associations be-
cause the money placed in the
association is taxed before it
gets there, the dividends are
taxed in the hands of the recip-
tents and the proposed tax would
tax the money in the association,
declared a spokesman.
Senator Northrop headed a
special committee appointed
after the 1855 session of the
legislature, the Committee on
Taxation and Fiscal Matters.
This committee was instructed
to look into various revenue pro-
posals that Maryland might re-
sort to.
Commonly referred to as the
Northrop Committee, it stated
in its report that the modern
savings and loan association is
in direct competition with COM
mercial banks and savings banks,
but yet it pays neither the share
tax nor franchise tax on its de-
posts. In fact, the only nom
property tax that it pays to the
State is the annual fiat fran
chiSe tax Of $l0."

chiefs of staff, replied nothing"
 Robert Dechert, general coun- sel for the Defense Department, however, said the authority would permit the federal government to act without consent of action' by the new state.
 Pressed for examples as to how the proposed authority might be used, Dechert said it could be used to evacuate except in the case of municipalities - to evacuate an area, to set aside a potential hydroelectric power site or to reserve for future de- velopment a potential uranium field.
 Continued Mining
 Under questioning by Sen. Bar rett R-Wyo0, Chilson said it was the intention of the Administra- tion's proposal to permit contin- ued mining in reservation area unless military requirements would necessitate complete evac- uation He said the department would have no objection to this right being spelled out affirma- lively in the bill.
 Also under questioning by Barrett, Chilson agreed present language of the proposal might preclude the new state from levy ing tax or enacting laws appli- cable to an area after it was put in reservation status.
 The proposal would provide that in the event of a withdrawal for military purposes, the federal government would assume exclu- sive jurisdiction over an area but local laws in effect at the time would be eforced by the federal government.
 Barrett said he believes pro vision should be made to permit the new state to enact laws app1i- cable to a reservation area even after it's creation so long as the laws would not be inconsistent with the military program.

JUNEAU, tRt - By 17-7 vote, the Territorial House approved yesterday a bill calling for an income tax equal to IS per cent of an individuals federal tax.
 The House also moved to raise corporation income taxes to a figure equal to 25 per cent of the federal tax returns.
 Both individual and corpora tion taxes currently are 1212 per cent of the federal taxes.
 Four Democrats joined the three House Republicans in oppo- sition to the bill, which now goes to the Senate - where the bill is expected to get approval after a strong fight.
 The bill was introduced Mon day by the House Ways and Means Committee as companion meas ure to the 1957-59 appropriation
 It is designed to help reduce the anticipated $5 million deficit in the budget.
 The chairman of the committee, Ken Johnson O-Anchorage) voted against the bill.
 He was joined by Democrats Warren Taylor, Dora Sweeney and James von der Heydt, and Republicans John Coghill, Clin- ton Gray and Frank Johnson.
 Earlier, the House had voted by the same margin to kill a pro- posed three per cent sales tax for .he territory.

WASHINGTON, R-The House Territories Subcommittee sched- uled another attempt today to wind up formal hearings on bills to give Alaska statehood.
 Chairman O'Brien CD -NY), now hoping to have the bill in final form by April 6, tentatively called his subcommittee together after meeting of the full House Interior Committee.
 On the statehood scene yester- day. the Senate Territories Sub committee tackled the Admins tration's statehood proposal and promptly forgot it's announced in tention to wind up formal hear ings in two days.
 Sen. Jackson O-WashO, sub committee chairman, said fur ther session will be held at an undesignated time to clear up what he described as the ''many am biguities" of the proposal.
 Legal Status
 He said the subcommittee wants CD to study the need for the authority which the proposal would give the President to set up military areas in less popu- lated areas of Alaska, and @ to clarify the legal status of persons and private property in areas where the President exercises this withdrawal power.
 The proposal, outlined by Asst. Interior Secretary Hatfield Chil- son, would grant statehood to all of the present Territory of Alaska but give the President authority north and west of the Porcupine, Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers.

Senate Gives
 Rough Treatment To Bonding Bills
By WILLIAM J. TOBIN

JUNEAU, tR - The Territorial Senate gave rough treatment yes terday to four House-approved bills to authorize general obli- gation bonds for four separate construction programs.
 One of the bills, for $7OO, ,0OO bond issue to finance construc- ton of a school at Bethel, was killed. Action on the other three bills was delayed after passage by parliamentary maneuvers.
 The other three bills are for construction at the University of Alaska, for National Guard ar mories and for hospital additions.
 Two Fairbanks Republicans, Mike Stepovich and John Butro- vich, led the fight against the bonding programs.
 Both pointed to the high in- terest charges that will have to be paid on the bonds.
 Said Butrovich:
 'There is no justification for  a single one of these bills. They are desirable yes. But neces- Sary - no."
 He said the territory simply could not afford the cost of the programs.
 The proposed bond issue to raise $1,827,OOO for additional construc- ton at the University of Alaska narrowly passed the Senate, and the 9-7 vote is not final.
 The bill for a bond issue of $1,173,000 for the construction of National Guard armories in 10 Alaska cities passed the Senate on two votes of 12-4.
 The second rollcall came after Sen. James Nolan D-WrangelD filed notice of reconsideration.
 But the Senate voted to suspend it's rules in that case and vote again immediately. Nolan changed his vote to mo-" but Sen. Frank Barr O-FairbankD changed his vote to ''yes."

 T prefer to have the military discipline their own," the judge replied. II would be very anxious to turn this case or any case over to the military. I regret very much that this court did assume juris- diction. The military has such wonderful facilities for handling such matters"
 District Atty. George Yeager replied the military seemed to prefer the present arrangemnt and the judge said:

Tt would help the Council and Mayor to administer the business of the city if the people of Nome and the civic groups would attend the council meetings and express their views. All council meetings are open to the public. Ideas for the improvement of our commu- nity should be submitted in writing"

He was guest spaker at the luncheon and reviewed the activities of the Council and off cers, both elected and appointed. Pointing out that the City of Nome is big business with four million dollars in assets, Mayor Andersen expressed the opinion that such business could be run

in more efficient and economical manner by city manager. Cities with much smaller population have found that a city manager will save the community more than his salary. He is not dis tracted by the demands of a busi- ness of his own, as the mayor and council members are; but devotes his full time to the management of the city.
 The next years will bring many changes to our community, the Mayor stated. Among the major projects will be the water and sewer system anticipated in two years, and new high school be- fore too many years. A new air terminal could be handled with municipal bonds, if enough air lines and businesses are interested. Because the present telephone service is deplorable, the city may have to go into telephone system, he stated. Also it is be- coming imperative that the city be re-surveyed, especially the boundaries and the streets. Bet ter housing, perhaps with FILA, will be one of the goals for the immediate future.
 Because of such important is sues, the Chamber members were urged to vote at the city elections next Tuesday. Chamber President Jim Walsh reminded the members that the city faces many grave problems, which are increasing all the time, and that they should be certain to vote.
 Mayor Andersen's timely report was the first of a series of special programs to be presented by the newly appointed program com- mittee under the chairmnaship of Larry Calvin.
 Other business before the Chamber included the temporary change in meeting days to Mon days. Russell Hermann com mented briefly on the tax meas ures now before the Territorial Legislature.
 Guests at the luncheon meeting were Mayor Andersen, Roy Shy der from CAA, and Duane Oyloe, Burroughs representative.
