anxious for an opinion from the SUI
preme court in the case involving the
validity of the reciprocal tax law. Just
at this time the department is trying
to get the companies to pay up without
waiting for a decision from the courts,

so much will just drop out of the state
and will refuse to pay their back tax

been argued in all five times and is
still in the hands of the judges
