CORPORATIONS CANNOT
RECOVER DAMAGE8
The ease of Van Sclmyver vs. Oscar
Tlreedman, was dismissed in the dis
trict court recently, the court holding
that as the plaintiff was a foreign cor
poration. and had not tiled its articles
of incorporation and appointed a local
agent upon whom legal papers might
he served, as required by the Alaska
code,' It had no standing in court.
This is the case argued hefore the
court last Friday wherein the plaintiff,
wholesale liquor dealers of Portland,
Ore., had sold to the defendant, Oscar
Ilreedmnn, a saloonkeeper In the Pop
per River valley, merchandise to the
amount of $800.
Rreedman admitted having received
the g 'ds but refused to pay for them,
claiming that the wholesalers had not
complied with the law. It was purely
a technlca) defence, hut the court has
sustained It and R will now go to the
circuit court of appeals.
The case Is of great Interest to the
people of Alaskn, because If Judge
Rrown Is sustained In tW higher court
all foreign concerns doing business in
Alaska will he called upon to pay the
sume tax as Alaska concerns are forc
ed to pay the federal government. It
may even result In suits being filed
by the district attorneys of the differ
ent divisions for the payment of hack
taxes for the time that the foreign
concerns have been doing business in
the north.
Attorneys Donohoe & Dimond will
take the case to the circuit court of
appeals at San Francisco. Attorney
Capers, of Cordova, represented Oscar
Breedman.—Juneau Empire.
