Foreign Utilities Not Subject to Same Fees as Domestic State Tribunal Decides MULF0RD COMPANY WINS Statute Providing License Fee Declared Contrary to Constitution Foreign corporations doing an Inter state as well as an Intrastate business In California are not subject to ths corporation license tax a fee propor tional upon th corporations entire So rylsd ths Stat Supreme Court yesterday In passing upon a question con sidered ot unusual Importance to cor porations operating within the Stat and transaotlng interstate business Ths decision came In the form of a grant of a writ ot mandate to the Mulford Company a Pennsylvania incorporation maintaining a orancn house In this cltr directing ths Seer tary ot State to file th designation ot Clark a local agsnt for tn com cany In 1110 th Mulford Company asked former Secretary ot State Charles Curry to file the designation of Clark as local agent and offered Curry the designation fee ot 15 Curry refused to accept th designation unless th company paid a corporation license tax HELD VWCOIfSTlnJTIOnTAL In making an original application to th Supreme Court for a writ of man date the Mulford Company claimed that th statutes providing that all foreign corporations engaged In Inter state commerce must pay feea propor tlonal to their entire capital stock ar unconstitutional because the charging of a proportional llcenss fee would constltuts the Imposition of a burden on Interstate commerce In direct vlo latlon of the United States Constltu tlon The company mad no fight against payment of the entry fee but did object to the license fee on the ground that It constituted a tax on Its property outside the State Under the statutes corporations are required to pay a license tax proportional to their capital stock The Mulford Company is capitalised at 12000 000 and would have been required under th law to pay fees of 100 this amount being proportional to Its entire capitalisa tion Attorney General Webb maintained that the Mulford Company shotfldto a stranger to th statutes of California as much so as though It had never left the confines of Pennsylvania In the decision the State Supreme court justices declare These license taxes fall with respect to foreign corporations engaged In In terstate ana intrastate business and fall with respect to domestic corpora tlons engaged in a foreign business and having property without the Stat Th law can only apply to domestlo cor poratlons nowhere engaged In lnter Istat business and to foreign corpora tions seexjng to enter tne state solely to do Intrastate business The State may fmpose no burden whatsoever upon th right of foreign corporations ta snter for interstate business The Justices likened the case to that woiv by the Pullman Company and the Western Union In Kansas when that state endeavored to tax th corpora tlons for their full capitalisations ai the United States Supreme Justices upheld th corporations Justlo Angel lottl agreed with the decision but de

morning In the Governments suit for the cancellation of the railroads patent to 6100 acres of land In the Elk hills valued at th present time at 115 000 O0U because of the tremendous oil deposits thereliv Charles Lowers attorney for the Southern Pacific Company had Eberleln on the stand on cross examination for an hour The bulk of ffTa questioning was along the lines of the disposition of the mysterious files containing letters and documents bearing on the oil land cases and which the railroad company Is unable to locate Whether or not Vice President Cornish suggested the destruction of the files ot papers bearing on the oil land cases was a question propounded to the witness by Attorney Lowers that met with a most decided negative reply The witness ssld that all he remembered of th files was that they were kept In a private safe In the San Francisco office at the time he resigned the position of acting land agent In 190S The files he said meant nothing to hlmtmore than forming a record of a case in which he was but indirectly Interested Judging from the character of the questioning yesterday It seems almost certain that th railroad company will make an effort before the Dresent hearing Is done with to prove that the Federal Government has secured possession of document belonging to the Southern Pacific Company possession of whtchls difld by Willis Mills special agents tor Attorney General Oeofge Wlckerjhsm For the last two days the defense has been Intimating max mo government had papers In us possession that It has been keeping uneJeF cover and those who have closely followed the case expect that th defense will make a formal charge to that effect In open court before the proceedlnc com to a close At the conclusion of Eberleln testimony the hearing was adjourned until tomorrow morning Then Special Agent Mills will take up the redirect examination of the wjtneas and Judging from his statement In open court he wilt not hesitate to try and lay bars all ths Innermost workings of the Southern Pactflo Companys business during the time that Eberleln was In charge of th general land office The present oil la rid case Is one of th most Important that the Government has sver tried not only on ac count of ths money Involved In the present case but the precedent that will be established In prosecuting future cases In which oil lands are In volved Eberleln as acting land agent made the application for patent to the Indemnity lands on behalf of the railroad company He has testified that at the time he made such application he was not aware that the lands contained oil and he therefore filed a non mineral affidavit on the strength of which the patent was Issued Shortly thereafter and much against his wishes Vice president and General Manager II Markham mad a lease with the Kern Trading and Oil Company whereby this company should control the Elk Hills oil lands tor a period of ten years on a royalt of one tenth of the grons pro ceeds Eberleln having filed the non mineral affidavit for the lands combated the lease but was overruled by Markham It la said that Markham was more or less Interested tn the Kern Trading and Oil Company If the Government wins the present ease It is thought that suits win be begun for the cancellation of oil lands valued at something like 1500 000000 The redirect examination of Eberleln on Friday Is expected to bring out facts relative to th Inner workings of the railroad eompsrty SAN MATEO COUNTY SUED BY MACHTJTEEY COMPANY The Board Refuses to Pay for Pipes Ordered by Blackburn REDWOOD CITY July
