of State Walt has refused to accept from
the Bock inland railroad a corporation tax
paid under protest. The concern failed to
par Hi annual occupation tax fee f6r the
years of line and 1910. On thin account a
penalty of $10 was levied attaint the road
and when they offered to make a payment
of the H20 tax due dslred to attach thereto
a protest against the penalty clause. Sec
retary Watte took the position that since
the supreme court late In 1!09 had Riven a
decision upholding the validity of the cor
poration occupation tax he had no author
ity to receive payment under protest.
With this action by the state official
comes the news that he also has reported
to Attorney General Martin a list of cor
porations In the state which have been
doing business without payment of occupa
tion tar as required by law. These com
panies under the Gandy bill passed at the
last session o (the legislature have an
opportunity to pay delinquencies and con
tinue In business. Otherwise they will be
prosecuted for doing business contrary to
law, state offlolals assert
