State to appeal to Supreme Court over film rental tax
West Virginia faces United Artists in a Supreme Court appeal after a district court injunction stopped the state tax department from taxing rental fees on motion picture films distributed in the state. Attorney General Clarence W. Mead and Assistant W. Holt Wooddell will argue the case, which centers on whether the company is engaged in interstate commerce or merely renting within West Virginia. The taxable amount cited was 4000 dollars, but lawmen say total liability remains uncertain due to broader applicability across distributing companies since 1939.
