Kolb Challenges Michigan Privilege Tax Law as Unfair
Charles E B Kolb president of the Union Steam Pump Co announces a legal challenge to Act No 8 of the Public Acts of 1921, taxing corporate privilege. He retains Burritt Hamilton and Joseph L Hooper to test the law while pledging to fund the action largely alone. He argues the tax is not uniform and harms small and large corporations unequally, citing wide disparities in rates and minimums. The Battle Creek Moon-Journal notes this citizen action reflects broad sentiment against the tax.
