LIFE LOSES SUIT SUPREME COURT SAYS STATE PROPERLY COLLECTED TAXES. Action Was Brought to Recover License Fees Paid Under Protest in 1912 and 1918. Northwestern Life Insurance Co. lost in its attempt to recover from the state nearly 000 in taxes paid under protest in 1912 and 1913 to satisfy the statute requiring the company to pay aa annual license fee of 3 per cent upon its gross income from all sources, through the action of the supreme court in dismissing the complaint of the company on its merits. The opinion was written by Chief Justice Winslow.

The case, involving one of the most important pieces of financial litigation in recent years, will probably be carrled by the company to the United States supreme court on the ground that the statute is in violation of the rights of interstate commerce. The decision has an important bearing on the case yet unargued before the supreme court in which the company is seeking to recover over $1,000,000 paid as taxes for 1914 and 1915. Had the decision been in favor of the company, the condition of the state treasury would have been seriously affected, and the legislature would not only have been compeled to make arrangements to pay back the taxes already paid in, but to provide additional revenue to make up the loss in the future. This was an action brought by the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. to recover back from the state the aggregate sum of $987,836.46 paid by it unter protest as taxes for the privilege of doing business in Wisconsin for the year 1912 and 1913, the amounts paid being $492,193.13 on Feb.
