State Saved $9,OOO,OOO
By Income Tax Ruling
Court of Appeals Decides Nom
Residents Must Pay New
York LEVY

ALBANY, Jane 2.--New York State
saves more than s9,0OO,O00 as result
of decision of the Court of Appeals
o,-day sustaining the constitutionality
of the provisions of the state income
tax law affecting non-residents. An
opinion. written by Judge Emory A.
Chase in the case of George A. Stat
ford, an importer doing business in
New York City and residing in Con-
necticut, upholds the contention of At
torney General Charles D. Newton
that the Legislature acted within it's
rights when it made the income tax
law applicable to non-residents who
derived their income from sources
within New York State and that the
law as it affected non-residents gen
orally was constitutional.
Stafford's contention was that since
the United States Supreme Court had
held the original New York State in
come tax law unconstitutional on &C.
count Of a provision discriminating
against non-residents in the matter of
exemptions, no tax could be collected
under it and that amendments enacted
in 1920 failed to cure the defects in
the law or to impose new valid tax.

Colonel Michael J. Dady, for more
than forty years dominant figure in
Republican politics in Brooklyn, died

as mason on the Federal Building in
Manhattan and subsequently became a
successful contractor. He also superin-
tended the construction OF the Federal
Building in Brooklyn.
AS head Of the Michael J. Dady Con-
struction Company the Colonel directed
the construction work of many build
ings in New York, one of which was
large wing that was added to the
Metropolitan Museum Of Art. The Dady

became Republican leader before he
was old enough to vote and in 1875,
when he was only twenty-five years old,
