PAGE EIGHT ~— ARGUMENTS BEGUN IN CLOSING PHASE OF TRAP TAX CASE The court hearing on the suit challenging the new increased fish- trap tax went into its closing phase—that of argument and re- buttal—this morning, exactly one week after the opening statement before Judge George W. Folta. Both sides had rested late yes- terday afternoon, in the case against Tax Commissioner M. P. Mullaney brought by P. E. Harris} and Company, and partners in the Mutual Trap Company, intervenors. Saying that he wanted both evi- dence and the law completely ar- gued, Judge Folta announced he would not limit counsel in argu- ment, on condition that such len- iency of the court would not be; abused On reconvening of District Court this morning, W. C. Arnold, co- counsel for plaintiff and interven- ors, summed up evidence for his side in the case which challenges Chapter 11, S.L.A., 1949. Cost Differentials i Most of the evidence has pertain- ed to cost differentials between trap- and seine-caught fish, costs of trap and cannery operations and their allccations, and to pro-| fit and loss of the companies in-| volved. Schedules and reports were sub- mitted by both plaintiff and deien-- dant covering actual statistics for | the period of 1941-48, inclusive,| and projected to include the in- creased taxes, and through the 1949 season. Arnold’s voice has been heard more than any other in the trial,! as, besides representing both trap operators, he has been on the stand | several times. He was called as a; witness for both plaintiff and de- | fendant, and recalled for further questioning. Arnold having concluded his summation at noon, Attorney Frank ! L. Mechem began his argument on' points of law when court recon- ' vened ‘this afternoon. He was succeeded by Attorney Edward W.! Allen, who gave supplemental le- gal arguments on behalf of inter-| venors. | After a short recess at 3 o'clock,’ defense attorneyswere heard in ar- gument, Assistant Attorney General Dimond presenting points of law! for the Territory, before Attorney ! General Willlams started the con- | cluding defense argument. Rebuttal arguments for plaintift| and intervenors are expected to take up part of tomorrow, when the case probably will be taken under advisement by Judge Folta. Permanent Injunctioin P. E. Harris seeks a permanent injunction restraining collection of the new taxes, and a ruling that the act (Chapter 11) is null and void. Plaintiff and intervenors charge that the new tax Jaw is an un- lawful burden on interstate com- merce, unreasonably discriminating between fixed and mobile gear and between operators, and such as to increase the cost of operations to the extent of forcing closure, also 1D.
