CREDIT MONTGOMERY
Assistant Attorney General Fought for
State in Corporation Tax Case.

The decision Monday in the corpora
ton tax cases by Justice Hughes is the
end of a ten-year fight between the
state and the corporations over the pay
ment of taxes on corporation capital,
and is quite a legal victory for the at
torney generals office and for w. P.
Montgomery, who took care of the
states interests in the litigation.
The 1907 legislature passed the So
called Bush law, which required the
payment of a tax of one-twentieth of
one per cent of capital stock. This
law was attacked by the Western
Union Telegraph company and the
Pullman car company, was upheld in
the Kansas supreme court, but was
States supreme court
After the Bush law was found bad
the 1913 legislature passed a new act,
requiring annual taxes ranging from
$40 to $4,000, according to the entire
capital of domestic companies and the
capital used in Kansas by foreign COM
panies. The law went into effect on
March 81, 1914, and on April /, the
next day, was attacked in the Shawnee
county district court by the Frisco
and Memphis railroad companies, both
of whom had paid their taxes under
protest, as did all the other railroads
in the state. The law was upheld in
the district court and also in the Kan
sas supreme court and then taken on
appeal to Washington.
The decision comes in record time, it
being less than two years since the
cases were started und less than one
year after they were decided in the
Kansas supreme court. The cases
were briefed and handled in all three
courts by w. p. Montgomery of the
attorney generals office.
Five other railroads have similar ap-
peals pending in Washington and the
same companies have also brought
suits in the Shawnee county district
court asking for the return of the
second years taxes paid under the new
law. All these cases will probably be
dismissed

Judge DOster Files His Report
as Referee
In a Suit Against the Santa Fe
Railroad.

empire building, the weakness and
persistence and shortcomings and
fearlessness of the men who drove
the New Ration tunnel through o.,
500 feet of nearly solid rock-the
heart of Ration mountains told in
findings of Judge Frank Doster, act
ing as referee in the suit of the Lam
try Construction company against the
Santa Fe. The findings were filed
today with Charles Bowers. clerk of
the Shawnee county district court
Providing they are approved by the
court, the Lantry Construction COM
pany receives a judgment of $15,-
646.72 against the railroad company.
The case is the outgrowth of the
building of the famous Ration tunnel
on the Santa Fe between Lynn and
Wooton Building of the tunnel began
in 1907 after the contract had been
let by the Santa Fe to the Lantry
people in 1906. The big hole was
completed in 1908 and suit was filed
by the Lantrys in 1918.
The original suit was for S22, 1922.
The construction company asked
Judgment for the items of SiO, 22O.3O,
lumber alleged to have been used in
the tunnel in excess of that paid for
by the Santa Fe; $2,443.22 for labor
on resetting of stulls; $3,120.85, labor,
and cost of building cutters in the
tunnel after the original plans had
Decn changed by the railroad; S.
3S4.13 rebate on freight charges
which was alleged the Santa Fe
agreed to allow them under a free
transportation clause" in the contract
anc $735.46 alleged transportation of
plaintiffs men.
In Judge Doster's conclusion of law
and findings today the ten thousand
dollar item is allowed for lumber.
The item for labor on the stulls is
allowed the construction company as
is the item for labor and cost on the
tunnel cutters. The $6,384.1S and
S725.46 was disallowed.

RESCUERS BUSY
Many Appeals From Flood Vic
tins Are Received.
Fight to Hold Levee, Now
Weakening, at Baton Rouge.

New Orleans, Feb. 22.-Weakening
of the Mississippi river levee at South
wood, La, IS miles below Baton
Rouge. and appeals for aid in behalf
of marooned inhabitants in western
TensaS and Concordia parishes fur
nished a we'll filled program of ac-
tivities for flood workers today.
Reports received from Southwood
stated double action was being taken
to prevent a break in the levee as the
result of a cave-in last night of a sec
ton of Gaping. Two barges. the re-
ports said. were anchored in the river
and dirt was being placed in the cav
ity. On the outside of the levee forces
of railroad workers from Baton Rouge
strengthened the embankment.
That the alarm was given in time to
repair the levees satisfactorily was
the belief expressed by engineers in
charge of the work. Reports from
Natchez were that immediate efforts
were to be made 10 rescue inhabitants
from the flooded areas of western Ten
sas and Concordia parishes, where
water from the Buck Ridge crevasse
and from the Red river overflow, ma
rooned a great number of persons.

$40, 900 a Week To
Chaplin With or
Without a ShaUe

New York, Feb. 22.-After all
the negotiations, counter negotia-

rushing" it seems that Charlie
Chaplin, with his justly celebrated
walk and his frequently featured
kick, will hereafter be exclusively
shown on Mutual films. Such an
nouncement was made quietly, but
definitely today
The contracts, it is asserted,
were signed Saturday. They pro-
vide for a bonus of 100000 to
Chaplin with or without his
moustache, $4,000 a week salary
and a percentage interest in the
business. The money is TO be paid
today.
1t was Henry Clay who said he
would rather be right than presi-
dent. Almost anyone would rath-
err be Chaplin than president
when emoluments are considered.
