Constitutionality of the corporated net income tax act, passed by last session of the Pennsylvania Legislature to raise between 1000,000 and $30,000,000 a year the use of unemployment relief, was upheld today by the State Supreme Court. Validity of the legislation passed on May 16, 1935, Paint was challenged by the Turco and Company, incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware and having business offices in this city.

The high tribunal's decision was announced by Chief Justice John W. Kephart. Cost of the suit which the Supreme Court took original jurisdiction in order to ford an early final decree was placed on the plaintiff company. The so-called 6 per cent. corporate net income tax levies a tax on the net income of beginning corporations accruing yearly during the calendar year of 1935, and in addition to all existing taxes, imposed upon corporations.

Attacked on 3 Grounds John P. Connelly, a former Philadelphia solicitor, as counsel for the Delaware concern attacked the act on three grounds. He sought to contend that the measure lacked constitutional uniformity and instead of being an excise tax was a property tax. He declared there was a lack of validity in the measure because of "wholesale exemptions" from its provisions, which he declared was illegal because the general assembly has no power exempt such corporations as was done in passing the act. "The method employed for levying this tax," Connelly, charged, "is most unique in taxation annals and no such form of taxation has ever been employed in vania up to this time." Attorney General Charles Margiotti, on behalf of the De; the constitutionality of the act.

partment of Revenue, maintained "This act is to extend for a period of two years and will amount about $26,000,000 a year," he told the Court. "The Department of Revenue has received about 000,000 so far. It is our contention that the act is constitutional and that it is a tax on the privilege of doing business in Pennsylvania by corporations and based on their net income." Exempt From Tax building and loan associations are exempt from the tax. This provision was one of the chief grounds of the plaintiff's suit. "The formula in this act," said the chief justice, "is a careful and equitable valuation of the various elements which contribute to produce income.

In the introduction of three -gross receipts, total assets each essential which bares a direct relation to profits and income seems to have been considered. The net result is that no association engaged in doing business within this State shall escape the tax. The operation of the apportionment method in arriving at the net income from business conducted within the State is to be the operation of these three factors, made to operate in all normal and usual cases in a fair and equitable manner. Uniformity of Operation "It is not now open to question that a state has authority levy a tax on the privilege of doing business measured by income accumulated within the state and that, as to corporations doing business within and without the state the tax may be found by, apportionment through a formula, such as is here adopted, where its general effect produces uniformity of operation by using all the elements entering into net income. The act in all these respects is structurally sound" and "we are of the opinion that the act is workable." Justice Kephart ruled that the provisions exempting banks, incompanies and building The Supreme Court's ruling upholding Margiotti's contention that the legislation was based on an act passed in 1923, which has been held valid by the high tribunal two occasions: First on the matter of determining net income and later on the question of exemption of certain corporations.

Insurance companies, banks and and loan associations from the operation of the act does not Violate any of the rights of the Turco Company and is not, therefore, unconstitutional. The averment that the act unconstitutional because of a defect in the title was waived aside by the higher court as was the contention that the act is irregular in that it requires that party pay part or all of the tax before contesting the legality of its assessments. The State Supreme Court's decision upholding the constitutionelality net of the incomes act of imposing a corporations tax on will have an important bearing on whether there is to be a special session of the Legislature, Attorney General Charles J. Margiotti said today. As a result of the court's action WALLACE FAILS TO SPEED NEW FARM PROGRAM By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan.

On the eve of the thirty-fourth international convention of the United Mine Workers, leaders from President John L. Lewis on down emphasized the six-hour day, fiveday week as the next main objective of the 540,000 union workers in the Nation's coal mines.

CHAPEL BURNED IN $75,000 FIRE AT LEWISBURG LEWISBURG, Jan. chapel of the First Baptist Church was damaged by fire Saturday night, causing a loss which may reach $75,000. The flames stubbornly resisted for six hours the efforts of 100 firemen from Lewisburg, Milton, Sunbury, Northumberland and the United States Northeastern Penitentiary. Believed to have been caused by a defective boiler, which is said to have exploded just prior to the disof conflagration, the fire destroyed the interior of the chapel, but was prevented by a stone wall from seriously damaging the main auditorium. It was the worst fire here since the central portion of Old Main was destroyed and its two wings damaged in a $300,000 Bucknell University fire on August 22, 1932.

Fought in near zero weather, the fire gained much headway while local firemen struggled through snow drifts to reach the building. Low water pressure also handicapped the fire fighters early in the blaze. Included in the loss was the Sunday School equipment and furnishings. The chapel was used principally as a meeting place. The $22,000 pipe organ, considered to be one of the finest in Central Pennsylvania, was damaged.

-Industrial activity during December reached the highest level for that month in seven years as a result of expansion in heavy industries, the Federal Reserve Board reported today in its monthly business survey. The board estimated that trial output last month was 103 per cent. of the 1923-25 average, the highest of any month since May, 1930, and the highest of any December since 1928. Except for the month of July, 1933, when production was boosted by a speculative boom, activity has been under the 1923-25 average in every month since the early stages of the depression. The course of December business through the depression was shown by the board in the following index based on 1923-25 as 100: December, 1929, 96.

December, 1930, 77. December, 1931, 68. December, 1932, 60. December, 1933, 69. December, 1934, 78.

December, 1935, 103. "As in other months," the survey said, "during the last half of 1935 the rise in the index was due in large part to increases in output of durable manufactures, particularly iron and steel and automobiles. "During the first half of January production of steel and automobiles increased somewhat, following declines in the holiday period. Output at mines was also larger in December than in November. "Factory employment showed little change between the middle of November and the middle of December, when a slight decline is customary.

The number employed continued to increase at steel mills, automobile factories, foundries and machine shops, and at shoe factories. Seasonal declines were reported by many other important industries. Factory payrolls were larger in the middle of December than a month earlier."
