CAPITAL
TAX CASE WILL !
BE HEARD SOON
Judge Woodrough Consents
To Hear Case At Present
Term Of Court

Bismarck. n. D., Dec. 13.-Judge
Woodrough. who is holding federal
court here. has agreed to hear the
case in which the railroads attack the
North Dakota capital stock tax dur-
ing the present term of federal u
in Bismarck. 1t is probable that the
ease will be heard during the present
month.
The state was temporarily enjoined
from collecting the tax in a hearing
recently before three federal judges
at St. Paul. In the trial here, which
is to be on the merits OF the case. it
is expected Judge Woodrough alone
will hear the case. according to F. E..
Packard, assistant attorney general.
The railroads contend that the tax
commissioner did not interpret the
law correctly in 'allocating the tax for
North Dakota on a property basis.
They contend the properNinterpreta-
ton would have been to allocate it on
IN earnings basis. but hold the law
under this construction is unconstitu-
tional. y.
1t is estimated that 500. 900 to
$4,000 is involved in the case.
