Washington Tax Records openness challenged by Supreme Court

Washington officials publish 1925 income tax records across districts under the ruling upholding public disclosure. Commissioner Blair says collectors may provide full access to newspapers and individuals, while warning that published tax paid does not reveal true wealth due to investments, holding companies, or corporate returns. Publicity is upheld as a legal remedy, with uniform alphabetical lists and broad inspection authority.
