TRADING STAMP
CO'S ANSWER
Say $500 Tax Ordinance
Is Illegal
All SET FOR OCT. 31
Allegation That Several Merchants
and Members of Hoard of Alder
men Siiid the Purpose Was to
Drive Trading Stamp Company
Out of tlie City.
The Southern Trading Stamp (
pany today (lied in the office f
tie
clerk of the superior court its answer
to the complaint of the city of Ral
eigh, which is suing the trading com
pany to recover the $500 license tax.
The answer in one place denies that
the ordinance passed by tin' board of
aldermen on April 30, 19116. Imposing a
license tax of $500 upon Irnding stamp
companies, was by virtue of the power
and authority granted by the charter,
denies the legality of the ta anil de
nies that the ordinance was passed in
the manner and form and according to
the rules prescribed by the charter, and
says it is in consequence null and void
in that the charter, chapter 3G, Private
Laws of North Carolina, says that no
ordinance levying any tax shall be valid
unless an estimate and rate of assess
ment of tax so to be levied shall be first
submitted to the board of audit and fi
nance and approved by at least two of
its numbers, and requires all ordinances
to be referred to the proper committee
and not to be acted upon until tin
next
succeeding monthly meeting
board except by suspension
The answer denies that these
of the
of rule,
require-
ments were complied with.
The answer goes on to say that the
charter gives the board authority to
tax only those traders, business and
professions which may be taxed by vir
tue of tlie police power of the state,
and that' there is nothing in the char
acter of the defendant's business or in
its conduct to bring it within the po
lice power regulations.
The trading stamp company says also
that it. believes this to be a discrimi
nation against it. for there are many
advertising schemes in the city similar
to t'lct of defendant, none of which
maintains a store with goods upon
which the usual taxes are paid, and no
tax is levied upon either (he company
or merchant using such sc hemes.
The company alleges that the ordi
nance was passed to prevent n ironi im-
Ing business in this city,
believes that
it was due solely to the pernicious activ
ity and agitation of a few merchants In
Ihe city, unable to compete, with thej
patrons of defendant company and htj
informed that several of these mer
chants and several of the aldermen said
before and just after the passage of
this ordinance that its purpose was to
run the defendant out of Raleigh.
The answer declares the ordinance to
be prohibitive in its nature and opera
tion and deprives the defendant of its
property without due process of law.
contrary to the 14th amendment Of the
constitution of the United States.
The trial of this case is set for Wed
nesday, October 31st.
