Aggressive Stock Tax Test Planned by New York Courts
At a conference yesterday District Attorney Jerome and John G. Milburn of Ledyard and Milburn agreed a stock broker will be arrested Thursday for violating the new tax stamp law on stock certificates. The case goes to magistrate then higher court via writ of habeas corpus and certiorari. The law carries penalties of not less than 49 percent or up to $500 fine or six months imprisonment, or both. Brokers anticipate a constitutional challenge to reclaim sums paid under protest if the law is struck down. The law disrupts exchange business, especially room traders who now pay the tax and have curtailed activity.
