Washington State
Tax Ruling Made
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 -UP
The Supreme Court Monday let
stand a decision that the Washing
ton state business and occupation
tax may not be applied to goods
delivered across state lines.
The state appealed to the high
tribunal from decisions by the
Washington state supreme court
that the tax imposed an uncon
stitutional burden on interstate
commerce. But the tribunal re
fused to review the case.
The state court findings were
given in suits filed by the Colum
bia Steel company, of San Fran
cisco, and by the Weyerhaeuser
Sales company, which has sales
offices in Washington state.
Columbia makes wholesale sales
of iron and steel products in Wash
ington state. Weyerhaeuser object
ed to rhe taxation of receipts on
sales of timber delivered from
Oregon and Idaho to buyers in
Washington state.
The tax was levied on gross re
ceipts of all business houses for
the "privilege of doing business"
in the state. The rate and mea
sure for calculating it varied for
different business activities.

ference on highway policy:
"It is very important that the
states get their money's worth in

spending means it is easier to get
more money from the taxpayer for
roads if more is essential."
Moore, presiding officer at thr
conference, told the SO delegates
the field is "wide open" for im
provement of highway administra

small city level.
The legislators and highway offi
cials from 13 states agreed, how
ever, that a uniform highway tax
"is not desirable or necessary due
to the fact that the economies in
the states vary."
They did vote, however, to use

Marine Tax Concessions
WASHINGTON jB The Budget
bureau has gont on record against
proposals to grant tax concessions
and more liberal subsidies to &

Such a move, the bureau said,
would not be in accord with Presi

views were expressed in a letter
which Senator Magnuson (D-Wash

mittee studying the proposals.
The bureau said the legislation
raised questions of policy which
are being considered by the fed
eral agencies affected. Magnuson,
a supporter of the legislation, com
mented that it will be up to Con
gfess to decide the policy.
Backing for the measures came
from ship owners and the CIO Ship
