STOCK HELD By NONRESIDENT ALIENS.
The attorney general has given an
opinion that $l1G,OO collected as an In
come tax on dividends OF stock held by
nonresident aliens was Illegally collected
from the Illinois Central railroad
company, and should be returned
to the company, and not to the
stockholders. He says: "The govern
ment unlawfully exacted money from
the railroad company and 1t should
be paid back to the company from
which it was unlawfully taken. The nom
resident alien stockholders can recover it
of the corporation, and II will be no de-
tense for the company to plead that their
negligence, ignorance, delay or other
illegal act has lost the money. The right
OF the railroad company to repayment OF
money which it has paid to the govern
ment under an illegal exaclion does not
depend upon whether it has first paid the
money to the stockholders. The govern
ment cannot by unlawful demands de-
privc trustee of money which he holds
in trust for another, and when asked to
repay insist that the trustee must first
pay the cestui qne trust the very money
which the government has. II 1t appears
on adjustment that the government has
already paid back part of this money
to tho stockholders lawfully entitled to
tho same, as so much can be deducted
and the balance paid over to the road.
