Savings deposits tax exemption discussed by state bankers
At a Des Moines gathering the state bankers association passed resolutions urging the legislature to exempt bank and trust savings deposits up to 3000 dollars from taxes, though the text suggests it may mean up to 8000 dollars per depositor. The move could boost deposits as after tax and interest would yield five to five and a half percent. Also notes the July 7 Cedar Rapids republican judicial convention and potential renomination of judges Ellison Smith and Treichler for four years. The piece closes with a weather touch on June heat balancing spring frosts and cherry blossoms.
