WILL cellEeT FLAT TAX
Jsi1e ssvsag osEl11sa WA NJ lssesfese hish
IL wssk 4 - Asdissrs eilsoe.

Attorney Geuesxl Miller says that the
decision OF Judge Therun Stevens in
validating postion of the fiat tax law
will not prevsnt its collection. The i'm
preston has s.fned ground that the
whole lev was pfacticsliy knocked out
by the dscisiop apd that the state would
have to refund s3oney already collected
from the corporations for their fat tax.
Judge Stevens ruling was in connection
with the peosltiss sor failure to comply
wi,h the lac. The statute held that a
corporation that ..vas delinquent in its
taxes could not Institute an action of
any kind 10 any court in the state. The
Law held that ths delinquent company's
charter ~as forfeited by the mere act OF
delinquency. This is the point o, which
the court ruled, holding that charters
could not be declared ineffective with
out court proceedings and that the mere
fact OF corporation being delinquent in
it's taxes would uot prevent it from ap-
peariug 10 court ei,her as plaintiff or
defendant.
Judge Hsilett made the same ruling
a year ago in thsaederal court said Mr..
Miller. "and % " were not surprised
The local courts Save taken a different
view Of the matter. but this in no way
affects the casess on the revenue law
which we pow bdse in the courts. This
is one OF the msst Iitigsted questions
y
before the courtj today and there are
scores OF cases in all parts Of the coun
try that vii have to be 'nsulted by U.s."
The payments for fiat tax to the
.,uditor have beee very large and the
department hiss siready received $1,000
more than vasf collected during the
whole of last ysak. Payments are still
being recsived dhiIy and the auditor
will coutinus collecting it ss late as
poefible.

The game Of ball played by the town
"Dsds- and the county officials last Fri
day afternoon wss certainly the game OF
the season.
Tho game vas scheduled TO begin at

passed up the street, decorated bearing

them to the grounds.
J. w. Finn had been appointed Red

was on the ground to attend those Of his
team who were risking life and limb
that they might ESQ the proud officials
drink the bitter dregs OF defeat.
After selecting Judge A. r. King as
umpire. who gave specific instructions
against rough playing, the game opened
up with Marshal Welch at the bat. The
Dads" made four rune before their
side was retired. E. NJ. Gets, who was
pitching for the officials in this inning,
did somc very effective work.
When the officials came to their bats
they did not knock anything but home
runs-that was about the smallest thing
they had aud the way they lined 'em
out would have aroused the iealously OF
4 national league star. When Judge
Welch made a home run on base hit
the crowd went wild aud some fond
admirer took him over to where the
Presby yteriau ladies were selling lemonade
aud set en- up. Before the officials had
been retired In their half OF the fret
inning they had made an oven dozen
runs. The "Dads" made a rally in the
second inning and scored seven runs,
while the officials only made five. Then
"Little Ernie Clack" was put in the box
and forced the Dads" to take gooee
