TAX LAW KNOCKED OUT.
Corporations Must BE Assessed I'm
Same Manner as Individuals.

DES MONIES. Ia, Oct. 26.-The Supreme
Court to-day handed down decision which
completely knocked out the present system
of assessing and taxing insurance, express.
telegraph, telephone. sleeping-car and fast
freight companies. The law provides that
they shall pay certain percentages of gross
receipts to the state treasury. The court
holds that corporations must be assessed on
the same basis and for the same purposes
as individuals. "A corporation paying its en-
tire taxes to the State does not help support
city, county and schools as individuals must
do. hence the law is unconstitutional. AS
SCISSOR French, Of Des Moines, assessed the
insurance companies on the cash market
value of their stock. They enjoined him and
the case went to the Supreme Court, which
upholds French and says the State collec-
ton is invalid. Attorney General Remley
says this means the system of assessing
railroads must also be reorganized under
this decision, which is considered the most
important handed down in a long time.
