The decision of the Supreme Court OF New
Jersey on the legal questions involved IN the
corporation tax law is naturally looked forward
to with great interest in that State. The rail-
road companies have long been favored at the
expense Of the great body of taxpayers. The
Republican Legislature has sought to afford
the people some slight measure OF relief. This
the corporations stontly resist. The result Will
be of great Importance to the future OF the
State.
