Tax Hearing Refused by High Court
The Iowa supreme court on Tuesday refused to take jurisdiction over Calvin Garland’s lawsuit challenging the Tax Commission’s authority to prosecute him on income tax evasion charges. Garland, a Des Moines bootblack, faces two indictments in Polk County for failing to file state income tax returns in 1955 and 1956. The high court did not rule on the tax questions, denied a habeas corpus writ, and left prosecution to proceed in district court with Garland free on a $2,000 bond.
