GOVERNMENT WINS
IN WAR TAX SUIT
Western Sugar Refining Com
pany Must Pay Large Sum
Under Judgment

After lapse of 10 years District
Judge William c. Van Fleet decided
yesterday that the western sugar re-
hning company must pay the United
states government taxes levied on the
gross income Of the company during
the time the war revenue act of 1898
was in force. The total amount in
volved is $4,000.
At the time OF the war the govern
ment. through the Office of the internal
revenue collector, collected the tax
monthly. II was the contention Of the
sugar refining people that the tax
should have been collected annually
and. having been collected monthly,
was Illegal.
The court held that the mere matter
of time OF collection did not make the
tax void. II allowed that If the tax
was prematurely collected the company
WAS entitled to recover interest on the
payments made up to the end of the
year. when the tax became legally
sssessa bic. The court decided against
the contention of the company that the
entire levy was void and awarded in
terest only TO the plaintiff, amounting
10 $4,000.
Judge Van Fleet oVerruled one con-
tention Of the government that one
count Of the complaint, involving about
$4,000. was barred by the statutes of
limitations. He also ruled that the tax
was not properly assessable on that
part Of the income of the company
which was derived from loans made by
the company or derived from earnings
% its stevedoring business.
