Tazewell, Va, April 2S.--The Circuit
Court OF razewelI to day handed down
William II. Werth against the Common

the income Tax statute of Virginia The
law III this state imposes "A tax OF /

600. The statute defines what tax
able Income shall include" and sets
out IN the first four paragraphs Ger
tain specified sources OF income which
shall be taxed, all of which are a
property source except one and that
is salaries. Paragraph contains a
sort OF dragnet in the following words:
All other gains and profits derived
from any source whatever" II WAS aJ-
mitted by the Commonwealth that Mr.
Werth's Income was derived solely from
his general practice as a lawyer. and
that he paid a license tax an such. and
taat his income was not embraced by
the income statute unless by the drag
net clause. Mr.. Werth commended that
the "dragnet clause was limited by
the four preceding paragraphs, and
that since his income was not derived
from any sort of property or salaries
II was not embraced by the statute, and
In addition, to make him pay an in
come and license tax would be don
BILE taxation. The court fully sus
tanned Mr.. Wcrths contention and re-
lieved him from payment. This de-
cision, If upheld by the Supreme Court

indication that he would be candi-

and expressed the belief that the people
would be worn out by the strenuous eff
fort of the present candidates before the
conclusion of the summer

As a matter of fact. believe that there
will be an opportunity for another en-

however, I will not do so before late fall,
