Be Committed. -.

the new Warmers tax law provides that
if a person fails to list his personal
property for taxation he may be hailed
before the probate court and upon his
refusal to answer questions concern
ing his property. may be declared in
contempt and committed to Jail.
The commissioners Wednesday re-
ceived the backing of Governor Cox and
the State Tax Commission. 1t is said
that Mr.. Rockefeller's attorney will at
tack the Warmers law and will apply
for an injunction to prevent the asses
sing of property for taxation under
the new law on the ground that the
Law is unconstitutional
Members of the Tax Commission
said Tuesday that John D. Rockefeller
had paid his personal taxes here for
several years and that they considered
him resident of this county. In view
OF that fact the opinion was express
ed that 1t would be difficult to hold
him for personal taxes in any other
jurisdiction.
In 1911 Mr.. Rockefeller paid taxes
on an assessment of $2,5o0, 900 of per-
sonal property. The assessment was
raised to y5.80o,ooo in 1912, and he paid
the tax on that amount without pro-
test, as he did last year. The same
assessment is levied for this year. and
the time limit for a protest expired
on December / without any word from
Mr.. Rockefeller. The 1914 tax is not
due until May !.
