tieally that Secretary of State Caleb X. |
Layton is determined either to make al.
foreign corporations pay the $50 tax
according to Jaw, CT 60 out OF business |
In this State He Is much concerned |
over the Misrepresentation made con-
corning his recent manifesto, which he |
i5aued to each and every foreign cor
poTation doing business Ia this State. |
This tax is not levied upon the home
corporations organized under our law /
but upon those organized under the
Avs OF other States.
The misunderstanding OF this fact has
been the source of all the difficulty.
About fifty foreign corporations have
paid the tax. In New Castle county
alone there are $50 corporations of this
nature doing business. and IL they
should pay the tax it would mean a
neat little sum for the State and also
a snug nestfui OF gold for the Score
ltary. Those companies exempted arr
the life and fire Insurance companies
