CALIFORNIA LOSES ON
TAX RULING OF COURT

San ~raEcisco-ln the recent decision of
the supreme court in the corporation tax
case. the state Of California is confront-
ed with a deficit Of s+To, 600 in its budget.
says; the Examiner.
Through the ruling OF the court in the
case OF Mulford against Curry no cor
poration or company transacting an inter-
state business can hereafter he compelled
to pay an annual fee to the California
authorities.
The deficit las not yet come officially
before the state board of equalization. II
this loss of revenue Is to he permanent,
the board can and must act between now
and the first Monday in September. 1t is
charged with the duty OF making UP any
deficit from any cause in each biennial
budget of the legislature.
Attorney General Webb said that after
~ review of the decision he could only see
one course TO pursue and that was TO ask
for Il rehearing. He was not repaired to
speak publicly as to the grounds on which
a petition for a rehearins would be askcd.
The court hcld that the California law
clearly violated the fourteenth amendment
to the federal constitution. The United
States reserves to itself the power to reg
nlate between the states. 1t
considers the field solely its own. The
state supreme court therefore decided that
in levyfng any fee or tax on q company
engaged in interstate business or COM
merce. California was envolving a prov
ince 1t had no right to do and must re-
tire.
The decision is n most interesting one
said Attorney General Webb. land all
the state can do now Is to ask for a re.
hearing. II that is denied. the loss OF the
revenue from these fees will b. perma-
nent. The tax was never legally fought
until this case arose while Charles Curry
was secretary of state. He demanded q
fee from a corporation which desired to
enter California. 1t refused to pay the
fee and the court upheld the legality OF
its action.
1.-The income from this source for each
biennial budget for some years past has
amounted In the aggregate to about $780,
600. We have just entered upon the last
year of the present legislative budget.
So. under the decision. the state is los
ing 100000 Of the revenue It counted up.

powered to max up any deficit. It will
