The State Board of Tax Commissioners has decided that "paid up” stock in the building and loan associations is an eyas,ion of the tax law; that it was not the design of the Jaw that, such stock should be exempt from taxation; and that hereafter it should be taxed the same as any other capital invested in in an interest paying business. The county auditor's of the state will be instructed to make inquiry and place on the duplicate all such paid up shares. It is believed that this order, if enforced, would add considerable sum to the tax duplicate the state over.
