The new revenue law provides that building and loan stock shall be as sessed to those owning if, but the spokesman for the associations claims this is contradictory to the constitutional provision which re quires all property of the same class to be taxed in a uniform' manner. It is contended that other corpor ations are permitted to make re turns on a different basis from build ing and loan associations, and that the constitution is thereby violated. Assistant Attorney General Mason Wheeler was present at the request of Osborne to consider legal points raised by the building and loan as sociation people and advise him on what action to take.
