CARPENTER KILLED From far away Milwaukee comes an Interstate commerc, contention over the corporation tax Imposed .by the last legislature of Georgia. A corporation there, with an Atlanta office, kicks on the dollar registration fee, and urges Hon. Phil Cook, Geor gia's secretary of state, to refer this momentous question to Attorney Gen eral Hart. Secretary Cook ruled against ths learned "office counsel" of this Milwau kee concern, Hon. M. A. W. Babb, and told him to fork over. Counsel Babb says In his communi cation to Secretary Cook: "The law In Massachusetts regard ing foreign corporations Is very simi lar to that which you have sent us, enacted by tho state of Georgia, and provides that foreign corporations hav ing a usual place of business In the commonwealth of Massachusetts should be subject to tax. “We have an office at Boston, which Is similar to our Atlanta office. We at once took this matter up with the commissioner of corporations of the state of Massachusetts, explaining to him our position, that what was trans acted at our district offices was Inter state commerce, and that we did not have a usual place of business In Mas sachusetts, In the legal sense of the word. He In turn referred the matter to the attorney general of Massachu setts, who govs us hts opinion that ths Allls-Chalmers did not have a usual place of business In that common wealth, and was not subject to the lax Imposed on foreign corporations." The Atlanta office, he says, only ac cepts proposals to bo submitted to the Milwaukee office for 'approval. While admitting the tax In Georgia Is not excessive, he contends that the principle Involved Is the same, and that they have been upheld In their contention In the atatea where their diatrlct offices are located, that the business Is Interstate commerce. He wanted the secretary of state to refer the matter to the proper legal adviser. If he was In doubt, but Secre tary Cook Informed him he was not In doubt, and to come across.
