DECIDES AGAINST STATE
INCOME TAX
Attorney Fights Assessment
on Salary and Wins in
Lower Court.
Lower Court.

Tazewell, Va, May 2.-The
circuit court Of Tazewe hand
ed down an important decision
in the case Of William II.
Werth against the Common
wealth, involving the consiruc-
tion Of the income tax statute
of Virginia.
1t seems that the law i'm this
State imposes a tax of one per
cent. on incomes in excess of
~ 600 The statute then pro-
ceeds to define what taxable
"income shall include" an d
sets out in the first four para
graphs certain specified sources
.of income which shall be taxed
all Of which are property
source except one and that is
salaries.
Then paragraph five contains
a sort of drag net in the follow.
ing words: "All other gains
and profits derived from any
source whatever. Ii was adj
mitted by the Commonwealth
that Mr. Werth's income was
derived solely from his general
practice as a lawyer aud that
he paid license tax as such
and that his income was not
embraced by the income statute
unless by h q drag net
clause.
MIR. Werth contended that
the drag net" clause was lin
tied by the four proceeding
paragraphs and that since his
income was not derived from
any sort of property or salaries
IT was not embraced by that
statute and in addition. that to
make him pay an income and
license tax, would be double
taxation.
The court fully sustained Mr..
Werth's contention and reliev-
ed him from pay ment. This
decision if upheld by the An.
prone court where it will be-
taken will apply to all lawyers.
doctors and others paying H.
cense taxes whose income en-
ceeds the sum OF 1000.
