IA. [. |. MUST PAY
 TAX, IS RULING
Supreme Court Decision to Put S2OO,OOO In the
 State Treasury
By FRED H. GORAILEY.
 Montgomery Bureau The Age Herald
 22l-2 First National Bank Buildtne

! Montgomery, January, 22-(speciaI)- Ruling that the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
 road is domestic corporation and not a foreign corporation and that it must
 pay a franchise tax to the state on it's
 total capital of $72o0oOo0 instead of the
 capital employed in Alabama, which
 amounts to little less than $s,OOO 00OO, the supreme court Thursday rendered a de- cision which will put about s2OO0O0 in
 the treasury for franchise taxes of the corporation for the years from 1915 to 1922
 and will increase the annual franchise
 taxes of the company from about s15 900 year to about s26,5oo.
 This is the second time the state has
 won this case. After the first decision,
 the railroad brought another case. con
 tending that the provisions of the
 revenue law violated the fourteenth amendment of the federal constitution. The supreme court overruled this con- tention, but by the fact that federal question is at issue the railroad will have grounds for an appeal to the su- preme court of the United States. William l.. Madtin, judge of the fifteenth judicial circuit, started the SSiAANSt NlltiC dLkDIDt9 general three years ago. The suit is looked upon by state officials as one of the most im- rortant pieces of railroad litigation since the famous statutory rates were con- tested during the administration of Gov ernor Conner. If the state finally wins, the franchise taxes to the state will be greatly increased and counties through which the railroad operates also will be benefited financialiy.
 The Atlantic Coast Line railroad originally was organized as a foreign corporation, but absorbed several domes- tic corporations and the attorney gener-
 al's successful contention was that by
 the absorptions the railroad became a
 domestic corporation and subject to all
 laws relating to domestic corporations, Throughout it's existence the railroad has
 claimed a status as a foreign corpora
 ton and has paid the state franchise
 taxes only on the amount of it's capital
 actually employed in the state. Under the decision. it will pay on every penny of it's capital regardless of whether the
 capital is employed in operations in Ala
 bama or another state.
 The case was appealed from the Mont gcmery county circuit court. Chief Jus
 tice John C.. Anderson prepared the opinion of the supreme court.

LOSES
 BIG ORE DEPOSITS
Spring Rush to New Hydre Fields in
 Alaska May Rival the
 Klondyke
By Associated Press

Ketchikan, Alaska, January 14.-Val- uable gold deposits near Hyder, south of Ketchikan, which are reported to be miles in extent, have been lost to the United States by the decision of Ameri- can surveyors defining the boundary line between Alaska and Canada. It was decided to follow the lines of Can adian surveyors rather than the monu- ments of early Russian lines.
 Recent development of the properties near Hyder reports of which spread to the outside world, have elicited hum dreds of inquirer from the United States and even Great Britain, which, it is believed, may passage a rush" to Hyder next spring rivalling the famous Klondike stampede.
 The American engineers on the of ficial boundary survey, agreed with the Canadian party to leave the lines of the Russian survey and instead of follow ing natural ridge up to the head wat CTS of Salmon River, turned west at ali angle of 45 degrees, throwing into Can ada the upper Salmon River district and the hills where are located the ma jority of the Hyder deposits. Hyder is on the American line, and because of the topography of the country, the Cam adian claims must be approached from the territory of Alaska.
 According to reports received here, the mines, while said to be remarkably rich in ore, are difficult of access and considerable development work is neces- sary before they can be put on paying basis. At the Premier mine, now said to be controlled by New York interests, thousands of dollars have been spent in building roads, and thousands more in development of the mine itself. For miles on both the American ana Can adian sides, every claim has been staked and there is little ground left in the district, it is reported.
 Experienced miners here say that a "rush' to the district would result poorly for prospectors without capital who would be unable to get at the ore.
