TAX COMMISSIONER

Franchise tax due the State from
a bankrupt corporation is collectible
before the payment OF dividends to
creditors, according 10 a decision
given by Attorney-General Town
send to State Tax Commissioner
NJ. Howard Jester. The concern in
question Is the Union transportation
Lines, a Delaware corporation, now
a bankrupt. Mr.. Jester recently
wrote to Mr. Townsend in regard to
the matter and today received the
following decision from him;
Dear Mr.. Jester:
IT acknowledge receipt OF your
letter of October gath from which
It appears:
"a That Union transportation
Lines. a Delaware corporation, is
bankrupt
CD That said orporation IS In
debted 10 the State OF Delaware for
franchise taxes for the year 1922;
Co That the corporation has
offered a composition or settlement
with creditors at thirty-three and
one-third cents on the dollar; and
(d.) That you desire TO know II
you are authorized 10 enter into such
an agreement.
by way OF reply you are advised
as follows:
subsection A OF Section ~ OF
the United States Bankruptcy Act
requires the court TO order the trus-
ee to pay all taxes legally due and
owing by the bankrupt 10 the United
States, State. county. district or
municipality in advance OF the pay
ment OF dividends 20 creditors.
Construed strictly the contents
OF this subsection lead 10 the result
that taxes must be paid in any event.
Besides the words used in Section
6s-A seem TO take taxes out OF the
class known as 'provable debts and
thus they could not be discharged
in any event.
In the Ashland case. 22s Fed
eral, s29. Il was specifically held
that State franchise taxes imposed
on corporations under State
statute are taxes within the mean
ing OF the above subsection A.
From the foregoing It IL clear
that IL is unnecessary for you 10 en-
ter into any such agreement"
Yours very truly.

present in Russia, while tasteful tho
sometimes startling combinations of
cloths and shades is the rule. Two
and sometimes three old and worn
dresses are combined to make one
that will etill hold together. Surpris-
ingly pretty effects are often obtained
in this way by the Russian women,
who have an unusually good clothes
sense. Various materials are again on
sale in some of the bazaars, but few
can afford them. The cheapest type
of cotton cloth sells for one and a
half million rubles a yard, while no
wooden material is obtainable for less
than from fifteen to twenty million
rubles a yard-prices entirely out of
reach of almost every Russian woman.
Almost every pair of stockings in
Russia has been refooted, often with
stocking of a different color. IN
many cases the tops of the stockings
have been cut off to make new feet,
and the whole becomes the Russian
summer sock, always in vogue here.
In many other cases stockings have
been abandoned entirely for the sum-
mer, and are being saved for the
exigencies of the coming winter.
Naturally, shoes present the great
est problem. Sinee May, the price of
shoes has advanced from twenty mil
lion Irubles to fifty-five million rubles
for low shoes, and seventy million
rubles for high shoes. Consequently,
shoes repatched until they present the
appearance of leather mosaic, as
