STOCK TRANSFER
TAX LAW Is VALID

Washington. Jan. TN deciding the
case of Albert J. Hatch, VS.. Edward
Rcardon, the latter peace officer of
New York, favorably to Reardon, the
supreme court of the United States to-
day passed upon the validity of the
New York stock transfer tax law, in
effect holding it to be not in CONTRA
vcntiOn of the constitution and thus
sustaining the decision of the supreme
court of New York.
The case was brought to the court
by Hatch on a writ of error to secure
Il reversal of the rulings of the New
York courts by which he was refused
release on writs of habeaS corpus
W hen arrested on the charge of ViOlat-
ing the law The statute imposes botn
fine and Imprisonment for failure to
pay the requisite fee on all stock
transfers made in the state. Hatch
is citizen of Connecticut and it is
charged that in June, 1905. he sold to
another Connecticut man some Shares
of St. Paul and Southern Railroad
shares without affixing stamps. When
taken into custody Hatch did not await
his trial but Immediately made appli-
cation for writ of habeas corpus. Th5
question raised under the federal con-
stitution was that the enforcement OF
the law would deprive one of liberty
and property without due process OF
law. The amendment was only en-
acted early in 1905 and much reliance
has been placed upon it to materially
increase the state revenues. The
opinion of the supreme court was an
nOunced by Justice Holmes.
