If e roan tile Tax Under Legal Fire-
Sarly Oscition Wanted. No Matter How the
Case Goei it Will Be Promptly Taken to
Supreme Court.
President Judge Fennypacker and
Judge Wiltbank on Saturday heard
argument in Common Pleas Court
No. i, Philadelphia on the proceed
ings recently instituted to test the con
stitutionality ot the mercantile license
act of May 2, 1899. The action is
in the form of a bill in equity.
The defendants aie City Trepsurer
McMichael and the five Mercantile
Appraisers of Philadelphia. The
argument was on motion for an in
junction against the collection of the
tax. Attorneys of the complainants
contended that the mercantile law in
question is unconstitutional, because
it provides one system for the assess
ing and collecting of mercantile taxes
within cities of the first class and an
other system for the counties, and
farther, because it discriminates un
lawfully in lavor of venders at an ex
change or Board of Trade as against
dealers who conduct the same busi
ness elsewhere.
It was also argued that the provis
ions of the act authorizing the County
Treasurer to issue subpenas and at
tachments to compel the attendance
of citizens with their private books
and papers, and submit the same to
his inspection, are contrary to the
Constitution of the Commonwealth as
well as that of the United States. The
constitutionality of the act was con
tested before Judge Simonton, of the
Dauphin County Court, who sustained
the act, and counsel in the present
proceedings stated their willingness to
dispense with the argument and abide
by the decision ot the Supreme Court
on the appeal taken from the Dauphin
County Court, but Judge Fennypack
er said the court could not make any
order in the matter until the argument
had been heard.
Attorney Simpson pointed out that
the tax law requires a wholesale deal
er to pay $3 for a license and one
half mill additional on each dollar's
worth of the whole volume of business
transacted, while each dealer at any
exchange or Board of Trade is not re
quired to pay any license fee, but a
tax of 35 cents is imposed on him for
each $1000 worth of goods so sold.
Mr. Simpson argued that this is an
unlawful discrimination in favor of the
wholesale dealer who does not, but
Judge Fennypacker inquired whether
ct was not to be inferred that the Leg
Mature intended the tax ot 25 cents
on each $1000 worth of goods sold by
t dealer on an exchange should be
Additional to the fee and tax he was
.required to pay as a wholesale dealer.
Attorney Simpson said that was a
very important question, but in either
event it would be unlawful discrimina
tion. If it were as the judge suggest
ed, the discrimination would be
igainst a dealer at an exchange.
Attorney-General Elkin and A. T.
Breedley, contended on behalf of the
Commonwealth that there was no un
fawful discrimination in the imposing
of the tax because the classification of
the different kinds of dealers was per
lectly lawful, and all dealers in any
particular class were obliged to pay a
jniform tax. The argument on the
question of the right of the City
Treasurer to issu? attachments com
pelling bookkeepers, clerks or other
employes to produce the books of the
business in order that a tax might be
assessed is unlawful, because book
keepers and clerks had no right to
produce property which did not be
long tD them, was answered by Mr.
Freedley pointing out that the act says
the City Treasurer shall have power
co issue attachments against all own
ers of the business or bookkeepers or
clerks, which, he said, made the issu
vog of an attachment against a book
keeper or clerk the alternative step to
be taken in case the owner should be
ut of the jurisdiction, or for any
ther reason was unable to personally
jroduce the books.
Judge Wiltbank suggested that
hould an attachment be issued against
1 bookkeeper, his answer would nat
irally be that he had not the power to
:onply with the order, no matter how
villing he might be, as the books were
;ot his property, and he would not be
iolating the statute. At the con
clusion of the argument counsel re
juested that an early decision be ren
lered, so that the matter could
ie taken before the Supreme Couit
vhen it meets in Harrisburg next
nonth. '
