line of battle was formed, bore ample

by petition OF City Attorney X. B.
Wilson and Col. w. c. Ford, attorney
for White in the case of Russellville
Incorporation VS. White, recently pass
ed upon by the Supreme court, the case
is sought to be reheard upon the point
as to whether the Incorporation has
the right to impose tax upon hotels
for the sake of revenue under its au-
thority to regulate them. The Su-
preme Court decided that the right to-
regulate carried with it the right to
license and the point now to be decid-
ed is whether the right exists to license
in the sense Of taxing a privilege for
the purpose of revenue. This Is q very
important point to every town in the
state and we hope the Supreme Court
will pass upon it at once.
