Reorganized Firms Must Be Refunded Tax Overcharges

The decision affects the National Acme Company of Cleveland and similar reorganizations nationwide, requiring refunds of thousands of dollars. The court held that stock transfers in the 1916 reorganization were not sales, so taxes apply only to the $150 cash per old share, not the $50 par new shares.

Judge Lands On Edge Of Resignation Amid Scandals
The judge faced impeachment efforts by Senator Dirt and Rep Welty over remarks about bank salaries and robberies. Both cases were dropped. Dalton later claimed the judge’s comments influenced his crimes, a charge denied by Tilton who said he had never heard of the remarks. The judge, 56, known as a boy at heart, joined baseball leadership after a grand jury probe into the 1919 World Series scandal and finally agreed to a federal bench post with a salary of 44 500, pursuing justice with blunt methods and strong sentences.
