MAKES ATTACK ON
CORPORATION TAX
Suit Has Been Instituted in
Cleveland Court by a
StocKholder.
QUESTIONS ITS VALIDITY
SAYS THAT IT is NOT UNIFORM
AND THE VALUE OF THE CON-
pANY's HOLDINGS WILL DEPRE-
cIATE SOON.

Cleveland O., Jan. 1.-THE consti-
tuionality of the corporation income
tax law was attacked in United States
court yesterday, when Lewis w. Jar
ing that officers of the American Null
tigraph company. of Cleveland, be not
allowed to pay the tax. Jared. who
lives in Chicago, owns $4,000 in
stock.
The petitioner declared that the law
is not uniform in operation through
out the United States. in that COM
panies whose annual incomes do not
exceed $1,000 are excluded: that valu-
able secret information regarding the
business is required to be filed with
the internal revenue collector, and
that much damage would result
through such information going into
the hands of competitors.
Would Lower Stocks.
IL Is also asserted llat the income
would be cut down, and the value of
the stock consequently lowered SO
that many individual suits would be
filed by other stockholders as a re-
suit.
Jared says he brings the action for
himself and for al, the stockholders,
and that he first asked the directors
of the company to attack the constitu-
tionality of the law by suit. but that
they refused. He asks that the Off
GERS and directors be required to ans
wer the charges in his petition in
court, but that they not be required
to make answer under oath
According TO the petition the capi-
tal stock Of the American Multigraph
company Is s5.lo0.0 900. The company
has been phenomenaIly successful
since its organization. and stock is
said 10 be worth many times its par
value at the present time.

way said today the attack on the law
would not interfere with the efforts
OF the department to collect the tax.

turns giving complete account Of
their business for the year before
