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.''
