Exemption for Moneys and Credits Spurs Tax Debate
Commentary on a bill from the last legislature exempting moneys credits and mortgages from taxation draws fierce critique. Commissioner J H Easterday argues the act may be invalid under current law but notes its aim to curb a trivial tax on this class. He contends the move could attract investment from other states and, via property development, boost treasury revenues while lowering interest rates.
