RELATIVE TO
COMPUTATION TAX

ShH. 40 i0Ao.
Mr.. Ellie M. Crook,
Hazlehurst, Miss.
Dear Sir:
have your letter of recent date
with reference to whether soldiers
and sailors should pay Communication
tax.
/ have gone into this matter care
fully and I find that this Office has
held uniformly that the liability for
a Communication tax is determined as
Of the 1st of February, consequently
ones status as regards this tax is de-
termined as of the 1st of February.
Hence, If a man was in the army on
the first day of last February, he
would be exempt under Chapter lao,
Laws of 1918, from paying the COM
mutation tax. Now, of course, If
man was inducted into the army
after the first Of February, although
he was assessable with the tax, still
/ think that he would have to be given
an opportunity to work out his time
before a tax could be demanded of
him and be collected.
Hoping this Is satisfactory, | ann
truly,
ROSS A. COLLINS,
Attorney General.

France deserves the presidency.
