STATE FAILS To
GET ". j. TAX
u. S. Court Rules Georgia Can
Not Levy on Telegraph Co.'s
Federal Franchise.

The states attempt to collect taxes
from the Western Union Telegraph
Company for the years 1907 to 1912
on franchise valuations fixed at $780,
900 has failed. Judge Newman in Unit
ed States district court, following a
recent decision of the Federal circuit
court, has ruled that the state can not
tax the Western Unions Federal fran
chises
The decision handed down by the
court yesterday afternoon came as the
result of an agreement between the
states attorneys and the Western I'm
ion, in which the franchise valuations
of the company for taxable purposes
were fixed at $3.50 900.
Judge Newmans decision terminates
five years of litigation. This action in
Federal court was forecast when the
circuit court in reversing Judge New
man on an earlier decision favorable to
the state, held that the $3.50. 900
franchise valuation included the
company's Federal rights, which the
state could not tax
The state has been represented by T.

If you care for heavy hair, that glis-

Just one application of Knowlton's

doubtless caused this move. We
