Provision Stuck.
The tax expert presented no
further explanation In Justification
Of the high filing fee. But the pro-
vision stuck through several writ
ings and rewritings Of the tax bill.
None Of the municipal officials
could recall any specific objection
made to the provision while the tax
bill was being written last year, and
the consensus was that DR.. Pond
must have based it on the fact that,
most States require corporations to
pay q franchise tax.
The Corporation Counsel's office,
which already has made several rul-
ings, took the position that the $25
filing fee actually is franchise tax
imposed on corporations for the
privilege Of doing business in the
District. And it has ruled that
every corporation organized in the
District and every corporation over
which the District exercises juris-
diction must pay the filing fee
except, Of course, those expressly ex.
empt by other provisions.
Charitable Organizations Exempt.
Organizations wholly exempt IN
clude any community chest, fund,
foundation, cemetery, association,
teachers retirement fund associa-
ton, church or club organized and
operated exclusively "for religious,
charitable, scientific, literary, edu-
cational or social purposes" etc.

Some have filed returns unaccom-
