FOREIGN INSURANCE
MUST PAY TAX HERE
Twenty-Five Concerns Involved
in S5OO,OOO Court Decision.

The city treasury will receive ap-
proximately 100000 and an increase OF
$4,000 a year in its income from Tor
eign insurance companies by following
up decision rendered by Justice Co.
naan against one Of the companies.
Fire Commissioner Adamson brought
a test suit against the Munich Reinsur-
ance Company. of Munich, Bavaria,
Bavaria. which is represented in this
city By Carl Schreiner. to collect the
= per cent tax which all foreign fire
insurance companies arc required TO
pay 20 the Fire Department Pension
Fund. The company claimed that as 10
was engaged in reinsurance and did not
issue direct policies the tax law did not
apply 10 il, and that such an applica-
tion of the section Of the charter would
result in double taxation.
There are twenty-five such foreign
companies engaged in reinsuring the
risks of other fire insurance companies
in this city, and since some of them
do a large business, the percentage
which Justice Cohalan's decision sane
tons the pension fund TO collect would
amount 20 at least $4,000 year.
Moreover, Commissioner Adamson has
been advised by the Corporation Coun-
sells Office that he is entitled to de-
mand payment for six or seven years
back.
Undoubtedly the twenty-five COM
panies concerned will commence a
vigorous fight against the decision.
They represent. for the most part, the
warning countries of Europe. In 1914
tho Munich Reinsurance Company re-
ceived net premiums in the State OF
New York amounting 10 s953.426. OF
which more than half were collected in
this city. Other companies, with large
premium receipts in 1914. 10 which the
decision will be applied, arc the Russia

Calls for Increased Expenditures.
In cost the bill provides big ad-
vance For the first year the scheme
would total about Sl55,O00000 or $685.
100000 more than the amount appro-
pria,ed for the current year. Further

the increased equipment, extra guns,
powder. etc, called for By the expanded
defensive forces.
The scheme for a partnership
powder plant provides that the govern
ment will supply water power and will
buy the powder manufactur d in peace
time as well as war time on agreed
prices. The principal necessity for the
plant is 20 attempt to obtain nitrstes
from the air by what is known ss "the

pointed out that the present source Of
supply Of nitrates necessary in powder
IS Chill. and that this source might be
cut off in time of war.
I'm peace time the nitrate making

istration is selecting q site for the
plant somewhere on the Tennessee

COURT SUSTAINS
CORPORATION TAX
UphOlds the Kansas Law
Levying on Railways
Entire Capital Stock.

Washington, Feb. 21-The Kansas
corporation tax, imposed on the entire
capital stock of s31 100000 OF the Kan
sas City, Fort Scott e. Memphis Rail-
way Company. domestic corporation
engaged in interstate commerce, was
upheld as constitutional to-day By the
Supreme Court.
The court, through Justice Hughes,
held that the tax was not on the right
10 do interstate business, but on the
right TO do business in Kansas, and
was merely measured by the entire
capital stock, part Of which might
nevertheless be devoted TO interstate
commerce.
The tax imposed on the ST. Louis &
San Francisco Railway, foreign cor
poration, was also upheld.
The law provides a sliding scale
basis of taxation. in addition 70 the
property tax, on all domestic corpora
tions in Kansas, based on the capital
iZation of the corporation.
The court upheld the corporation tax
as imposed on mining companies.
