"Mr. Roosevelt can give no expla-

FRANCHISE TAXIS VOID
And New York Practically Loses
Wad That Amounts to
About $4,000, 900.
80 THE APPELLATE COURT DECIDES
state Is Alec Out OF Pocket Some
$4,O0O,OOO Annually by the
Verdict OF the Justices.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 6.-It is said
here that the third appellate division
Of the supreme court will very soon
hand down a decision declaring the
franchise tax law passed by the legis-
lature Of 1899 unconstitutional so far
as it relates to the state constitution.
The decision is one Of the most i'm
portant, both to the state and corpora
tons, ever given In this state. So far
So, ,OO0,O in taxes is involved, the
state by the decision practically los
ing that amount of money, and the
corporations gaining 1t, while at least
100000 q year In future revenues
also is involved.
Points ON Which II Was Attacked.
The constitutionality of the franchise
tax law was attacked by the inter-
ested corporations which operate for
ty-seven of the largest franchises in
Greater New York on two propositions,
namely: First, that 1t violated the
home rule provisions Of the state con-
stitution. In that it gave to the state
DOdIu VI TN COnluulcclOnClo Tic ROW-
er to assess real estate for the pur-
poses of local taxation. power which
is reposed in local boards of assessors.
Second, that it violated the provisions
of the national constitution, which
holds inviolata contracts made between
individuals. corporations or other cor
porate bodies.
Inviolability Of Contracts Involved.
1t was also alleged that it violated
the national constitution because cor
poration, when granted the privilege to
use the streets and highways for the
purpose Of its corporate existence, en-
tered into contract with the power
vested by statute to grant them the
franchise, which constituted contract
beyond the power of the legislature or
any public body to modify or to break.
