TO DUST LUMBER TRUST.

st. Louis. Mo-, Aug. 1.-THE injunc
tion suit filed by Attorney General
Hadley against the lumber companies
alleged to be concerned in the pro,
posed 100000, 900 merger came up for
preliminary hearing in the circuit
court today. The action is brought
under the Sherman antitrust act, and
if successful, it is believed II will
knock out the plans of the proposed
trust, not only in Missouri, but in
Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma
and other States in which similar ac.
ton already is under way or is con.
templated.
The injunction proceedings apply to
100 lumber companies doing business
in Missouri. In his petition Attorney
General Hadley asks the supreme
court en- banc that each respondent
corporation may be excluded from all
corporate rights, privileges and fran
chises it enjoys under the laws OF
Missouri, and that its franchise, Ii
cense and certificate to do business in
the State be declared forfeited, and
that all or such portion of its property
as the court may deem proper be con-
fiscated unto the State, or in lieu
thereof a fine be imposed upon it in
punishment of the perversion, usurpa-
tion, abuse and misuse of the fran
ohise.

\ aTf the company departs from it's in. sursnoe business and undertakes diff. feront business and smploys its capital 1 In such business, the tax should bs paid on the capital employed. The act Of March I, 1907 General Acts. 1907 1 page 423J relates to admission fees re- quired of foreign co poraxions for en- gazing in busfness in Alabama. In my opinion this law Is not applicable tc other taxes required to be paid by such companies Is specifically fixed by the act of March {. 1907, General Acts, 1907, page s2s.)"
 Accepting this opinion of the Attor- ney General, Insurance Commissioner Julian did not proceed any further on the subject. It appeared to be the com mon understanding among agents rep resenting practically all foreign compa- empt from the franchises thus imposed. They are already liable for and have paid the following array of taxes in order to do business in Ala bana:~ ei01 per annum for ii- censes: 2 per cent. of the gross premiums on all business written in the State by life or, miscellaneous com- panies. and one and one-half per cent. of the gross premiums on all business
 
 To both these taxes are to be added agents. licenses of s3.50 per annum for every agent who solicits in any part of the State.
 Insurance Commissioners Julian and Deputy Commissioner A. e. Sexton frankly state they do not believe the. franchise tax attempted to be collect cd by Tax Commissioner Blaixey of Montgomery is applicable to insurance nt Art .r,t 1 faa A that 1t was ever intended to apply thereto.
 The matter will very probably be threshed out before March 1, as that Is the date%on which the tax becomes deilnquent the due date being January in each year. On franchise taxes the corporations have sixty days in which to pay after the date they are due.
 The railroad corporations. whose States, have likewise been cited by Commissioner Blakey to show cause why they should not pay the foreign franchise tax. As stated in The Adver- tiser few days ago. the Louisville and Nashville and other railroad attor- neys arc now deiiberating as to wheth- CT those corporations should pay the tax There will be conference of at- torneys here on February 2e to decide upon the course to pursue. These cor porations do not deny the terms of the law are applicable to them. but are thinking of making fight on the constitutionality of the law.
 As an illustration of the importance of such a law to the State revenues, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, if it should acquiesce in the law. would pay each year about s30.- poo in the extra tax. this being based on the amount of the capital stock em- ployed in Alabama at this time.
 The course to be pursued by the gen. era1 agents of the insurance companies will be watched with interest. Tn every instance the agents who were cited by Tax Commissioner Blakey have laid the matter before the home officers of their respective com- panfes.

CITATIONS FOR INSURANCE MEN To Answer Why Fran chise Tax is Unpaid. TIE AGENTS ARE SURPRISED Had Not Thought They Were Liable
 For Levy. Tax Commissioners Opinion On Recent Lesislstiea In opposition TO Ex-
 pressed Belief or Attorney
 Geaerai or state.
TIE AGENTS ARE SURPRISED

Something of . furry among insu- rance agents was caused yesterday by the receipt Of. citations from Tax Com. missioner W, M. Biakey, of Montgom- cry county. to appear and show cause why they have not paid the franchise tax assessed against all foreign cor- porations doing business in Alabama. There Is possibly not an agent of any company in Montgomery who believed his company was liable for this extra tax after paying the other regular taxes levied on them by the State of Alabama.
 The activity of the Montgomery county tax commissioner in the col- lection of this franchise tax from the railroads has been much in evidence in the past few weeks but the great est surprise of all came with the ci- tatfon of the insurance companies. The opinion of Commissioner Blakey~seeuns to be in direct conflict with that of Attorney General Alex M. GarbeT who recently gave Insurance Commissioner Frank ". Julian an opinion that insu- renee companies are not liable for the franchise tax made for foreign cor porations which employ capital in the State.
 The tax in question is that imposed by an act of the last Legislature. ap- proved March [. 1907, on the capital employed by foreign corporations in the State, graded on the basis of the amount. The tax is twenty-five per cent of the first one hundred dollars Of capital 90 employed and five per cent of that employed over and above el00 and less than S1.000. After the amount of eaDftal employed in the State exceeds the first st.00o the tax on ithe remainder is at the rate of one. tenth of one per cent. es-
 On the attempted application of the law to insurance companies of all Kinds ard classes. the Attorney Gen. erai had this to say about the first of the year on the request of Commits sionsr Frank N Julian:
 e.rhe set of March ', 1907 General Acts 1907, ?. 41s). relates to the fran- ehfse tax annually required of foreign corporations doing business in Ala barna, the tax being based upon the amount of the capital employed. You desire to know whether insurance com paniaa should pay this tax ina slnuch Aa asthe act does not specifically ex- fenhpt any special class of corporations from its provisions. If an insurance employs capital in this State, it should pay the tax required by this act, and if such capital is employed In mort. gage loans on real estate the amount Of tax will be paid upon the basis flxed by the act approved July 27. 1907. But I do not regard the capital em- pIoyad within the meaning Of this act as moneys and other assets ordinarily used by insurance companies fn the advancement of the business of insu- rance.
