Payroll Tax Gets Test |

Seeks to Restrain Payment

Plaintiff in both cases is George P Davis of Waltham. In the first suit, he seeks to restrain the Boston & Maine Railroad from paying | the payroll tax under title nine. | In the second, he asks the Court | to restrain the Edison Electric! Illuminating Co. of Boston from | paying the employers’ and em- | ployees’ taxes under title eight. Mr. Davis is a stockholder in both corpcrations. Sitting in judgment are Scott WwW James M. Morton Jr. and George H. Bingham. In the AAA case, Judge Morton declined to sit 1se, as a mill official, he was | an interested party. In his place was District Judge George F. Moris of New Hampshire. Early decisions were anticipated in both cases. First payment—for January—under title eight is due Feb. 28. First payment—for the calendar year 1936—under title nine is due April 1, |

Judge Sweeney ruled, that the employers’ and payroll taxes came under the general welfare clause of the Constitution and were uniform and valid. As to the tax on employees, the district court said: “The Edison Co. agency for the collection of taxes

“The rural people in the flood cult rehabilitation problem than flood sufferers in small towns and urban centers,” Mr, Coleman said. “Flood-stricken southern Indiana farmers have the problem of rebuilding homes.
