COAL TAX LAW IS VALID Judge Kunkel So Decides Holding That State Is Entitled to $<(,000,000 From Mining Companies •fudge Kunkel, of the Dauphin coun: ty court, late yesterday decided that the hard coal tax of 2 1-2 per cent, effective in .fune, 1913, was const!'; tutioual ami valid. The decision in* volves more than $8,000,000 already collected from consumers by the coal companies, ibut not turned into the" State on the ground that the law wjrfj invalid. Only $19,000 has been into the State Treasury. Kunkel s decision was based on an appeal takeu from the tax levies ot Auditor General Powell, and the coal companies are expected to appeal to the Supreme Court. In that event, 4 final decision might not be handertt down until the foil. The opinion handed down yesterdav is based on three test cases heard in December and January. The law ig crudely drawn, the court decided, in that there is no express re quirement that the operator shall pay the tax. "But an examination of its provisions," the opinion says, "leaves no doubt of the legislative intention.'' NEWPORT Anti-Saloon Field Day in the Churches To-morrow Special Correspondence.
