May 31.?Just before j adjourning today until October the Supreme Court of the United State* restored the 15 corporation tax case* heard last spring to the docket for reargument before a full bench. No sp< clflc ?l ue was set tor the re argument. Chief Justice Fuller made the an- i nouncement of th" restoration. "For I argument before a full bench" was the only reason assigned for the un? expected action of the court. How the court stands on the case no one of the bench pretends to know, j The action today will allow Gov. Hughes of New York, recently ap? pointed to the bench, to participate in the consideration of the law. I Secretary MacVeagh said that not- j withstanding the failure of the Su- j preme Court to pass on the constitu- I tionality of the corporation tax, the j treasury department would proceed to collect it as reoulged by law. Should the court, after reargument declare the tax not constituional the money collected will be refunded j without the necessity of congressional legislation, the stances making ample provisions for the return of taxes paid wrongfully or in error. The corporation tax is collectible 1 j June 30. The assessments on that ac count have aggregated a trifle in ex? cess of $27,000,000, while the tax paid to date amounts to $675,325. If the dog license tax ordinance has not been repealed, and the writer has no recollection of such action by city council, it is unlawful for dogs to run at large unless they wear a collar and a license tax tag.
