MUTUAL COMPANIES MUST PAY
Held by Corporation Tax, Attorney
General Dawson Rules

Mutual telephone companies must
pay the corporation franchise tax,

ney general. and Charles Sessions,
secretary of state. Some of the mu-
tual companies had represented that
as they we're not conducting bust
ness for profit, each subscriber pay
ing a proportion of the business ex-
pense, they did not come under the
provisions of the new law. When
the law was passed an effort was
made to insert a provision exempt
ing the mutual companies, but 1t
failed. 1t was represented that the
mutual companies actually were
a profit, in that the subscrib-
ers received their services cheaper
by being ockhoIdsfs.
;'fffa telephone company does
business for pay, 1t is liable for the
annual corporation fee," wrote the
attorney general. at Is doing bust

exacts charges for service whether
those charges are the usual and or
binary charges exacted by CONNER
cial telephone companies or lower
charges on account of contributions
made to the capital stock or any
other lawful consideration"
The fee will be only $40 and this
ought to be regarded as rather cheap
insurance for the subscribers. In the
case of damage suit against mu-
tual company being a corporation

company. If 1t is a corporation all
the members must pay the prorated
share OF the damages. In the case of
co-partnership any one of the
partners may be compelled to pay
any charges against the entire num-
Der OF partners. The one big fea-
ture Of the corporation law that
makes It particularly valuable is
this insurance against law suits. The

dered to pay $500 outright to his
wife, witness and attorney fees, and
alimony on a sliding scale, was the
severe jolt Reuben L. Barker re-
ceived in district court late Tuesday
afternoon. Barker alleged that his
wife would not live with him, and
asked for a complete divorce. His
wife fought the divorce plea, and
asked for court costs, alimony and
$1,000. The Bankers formerly lived
at Abilene. Mrs. Barker and the
four children, three of them minors,
moved to Winfield. A sister of Mrs.
Barker lives at Winfield, and Mr..
Barker and the sister are unfriendly,

King refused divorce, ordered Bar
ker to pay $500, $3.50 of which is

is to retain; $25 a month alimony
to the wife as long as the children
are minors and SIS a month after
that as long as Mrs. Barker remains
