UTILITIES CANNOT.
COLLECT war TAX
|ONPUBL|CbUS|NESS
State, County and Other
Officials Exempted From
Paying Levy From Public
Funds.

The public utility war tax does not
apply where the tax would be paid
from public funds, and. therefore, state
officials, county officials. whether
county officers, commissioners, mem
bers of school district boards, road

CURED when transacting public bus
mess, to pay a war tax on freight, ex-
press, railroad tickets or other public
utility business.
This ruling is of unusual Importance
to many public officials in the state of
Idaho. Public utilities have. probably
through misinterpretation of the law
required collection OF the war tax on
public business just as on private bus
mess, but information from Daniel C.
Roper, commissioner of internal reve-
nue.. to Attorney General T. A. Walters
clearly indicates this can not be done.
Public business is exempted. In COM
munication to the attorney general,
Commissioner Roper says:
"In reply to your letter Of the sth
instant, you are advised that the ex-
emption provided for by section 602 Of
the act Of Oct. 8, 1917. applies to all
institutions maintained for the exercise
Of legitimate governmental functions
