"I Couldn't Get Anyone to Arrest Me".

The article reports on the opposition of "San Francisco Chronicle" editor Scott Newhall on the new tax system of the city government on companies, mandating them to pay for taxes based on their gross receipts, in San Francisco, California. He claimed that tax is a license and a jurisdictional regulation of the press prohibited by both the country and the state's Constitution. He opposed to the new mandate not only on behalf of the periodical but as owner of a small suburban newspaper "Signal."
