Process Tax Refund Case
Won by Government

MO DECISIONS involving the
~ constitutionality of the social
security act were handed down by
the Supreme court, but that tribunal
did give an opinion that upheld the
provisions of the 1896 revenue law
restricting refunds of processing
and floor stock taxes illegally i'm
posed by the agricultural adjust
ment act. The treasury was saved
nearly billion dollars by this deci-
sion.
ssWhile the taxpayer was lindoubt-
eddy hurt when he paid the tax, If he
has obtained relief through the
shifting of its burden he is no longer
in position to claim an actual in
jury and the refusal of refund in
such case cannot be regarded as
a denial of constitutional right"
said the opinion.
Another decision upheld the chain
store tax law enacted by the Louisi-
ana legislature at the order of the
late Huey Long, the court holding
that states may tax chain stores
on the basis of the number of units
in the chain outside as well as in
side the state.
