SHAFFER LOSES
SECOND FIGHT
Oil Mans Tax Injunction Ap-
pIication Dismissed,

C. b. Shaiier, wealthy Chicago oil
operator. lost the first round OF his
second fight to avoid payment OF the
state income tax today when the three
federal Judges who heard his petition
for an injunction restraining state
authorities from collecting the tax
denied the Injunction and ordered the
application dismissed
Notice OF the decision was received
this morning BY Attorney General
Freezing who is representing the
state. The tax involved, amounting
to close to 10000, is on the income
derived BY Shafier from his immense
oil holdings in Oklahoma. Shafier
claims that on account OF being a
nonresident he is not liable for the
payment Of the tax
Judge Faulkenberg o. Kansas City
Judge Woodruff OF Omaha and Cir
cult Judge Stone are the judges who
heard the petition
Shaiier has the right TO appeal
from the decision Of these judges, hut
this action is considered unlikely By
state officials.
