THAT TAX DECISION.
Affects Foreign But Not Domestic
Corporations.

Denver-Former Attorney General
NC. Miller. who conducted the states
case in the United States Supreme
Court for fiat tax against foreign
corporations doing busiess in the state,
has given an explanation of the state
position under the recent decision.
"The suit against the American
Smeltinc & Refining Company Tor a
state license tax was decided against
the state under the clause of the four
teepth amendment of the federal con-
stitutiun. which guarantees to every
person the equal protection OF the
law" said Attorney Miller.
"WhIe numerous decisions hold that
a state has the right TO discriminate
against foreign corporations when
they seek admission. there are no fed'
eral decisions which sustain the right
to discriminate against them after
they secure 4 lawful foothold In the
state.
.If the Legislature desires to dis
crimina;e against foreign corporations,
It mus, do so in the act providing for
their admission. Eastern states are
makinC their laws more and more
stringent against the admission OF for
eign corporations.
Quite q considerable sum OF money
has been paid under protest to the Off
GERS collecting the fiat tax. In relation
10 his money | am of the opinion that
domestic corporations are not released
from the tax by this decision, but that
foreign corporations are entitled to re
cover the money paid by them.

portant innovations to be established.
The lgorrotes will not be hit for self
