TAX SUITS DISMISSED.

Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. N. Y, August II
Judge Murray Hubert in United States
District Court today dismissed injunc-
tion suits seeking to restrain the Fed
eral Government from collecting both
the processing tax and the compen-
Sating tax of the agricultural adjust
ment act. The decision. which in
volved the cotton and tobacco indus
tries. was the first of its kind in this
district.
Judge Hubert ruled that the proper
remedy was suit for the return of
the taxes after their payment if it
could be shown that taxes had been
improperly assessed. In each case a
temporary injunction had been sought.
Judge Hubert ruled that revised Fed
eral statutes prohibited the courts
from restraining the Government in
the collection of taxes
The court pointed out that a judge
of the Western district of Tennessee
had held the processing tax unconsti-
tutional and the Circuit Court OF Ap-
peals for the ninth district, in a di-
vided opinion, refused to enjoin pay
ment of the tax pending an appeal in
October.
The Supreme Court has shown
great reluctance in declaring acts of
Congress unconstitutional. The duty
is one of great delicacy and this court
has the firm conviction that it is one
to be performed only where the repug-
nancy is clear and the conflict irrecon-
cilable. Every doubt should be re-
solved in favor of the constitutionality
of the statute"
