There is joy in Wall Street today,
for its exiles have returned and the
Jersey city mining curb is now de-
funct in consequence. 1t is all due to
the ruling of the Court of Appeals
which declares unconstitutional the
amendment to the tax of 1905 impos
ing a tax Of two cents on the transfer
of each share af stock irrespective of
its value. AS a great number of min
ing shares have par value which
ranges from few cents to a few do
lars, members of the mining curb d.
cided that they could not afford to
give up two cents for each share hand.
led unless they wished court ruin. So
ruin in Newy York seeming worse than
solvency in New Jersey, the mining
curb migrated to the other side of the
river. There in an alien country, but
beyond the reach of this particular
law, they have stood for many months
ankle deep in the mud near the Penn
sylvania ferries, making a miniature
pandemonium with the shouts of their
tradings But now it has been held
that the tax shall be only two cents
on each 500 face value, and the wan
derers have returned again to unite
their yells with their strong lungai
brethern on the Broad Street curb.
1t is estimated in view of this decision
that the state will be called upon to
return more than $1,OOO,OOO in taxes
Illegally collected.
