THE sCOTT T1W DFOrsToN

LAA OOOA Law OHCLOIOH.
The decision OF the Ohio supreme
court on the constitutionalIty Of the
Scott law has attracted universal aiten-
ton, and question IS to Its probable ef-
fccts, not only in It's relations to the
liquor traffic in that state and its effect
on the interests of taxpayers. but also
as political decision In the influence 1t
will have upon the expression of senti-
ment IN next Tuesdays election.
The decision as rendered. received the
concurrence of the three Democratic
members Of the bench, the two Re-
publican judges dissenting; and in effect
declared the whole law unc constitutional
and void, thus not only preventing the
further collection of tax but rendering
legally necessary the refunding of taxes
already collected under It's provis-
ions.
The Scott law. II will be remembered,
was passed April II, 1889. by the legis-
iature. II provided for horizontal tax
OF $500 on all places In which intoxi.
eating beverages were sold, but where
beer and wine were sold q tax OF 800
only was imposed. There was a pro-
vision in this law that person renting
the property on which the LIQUOR was
dispensed should have the consent of
the landlord for the use of the premises
for the purpose of selling intoxicating
liquors; failure TO obtain such consent
for the sale OF such liquors being de-
clared a misdemeanor and punishable
accordingly, and the tax became a lien
on the premises where the LIQUOR was
sold. THIS lieu clause the court de.
clared made 1t in effect q license law
and As such, contrary to the provisions
of the state constitution.
As 10 the results of this decision there
10 little question but that its immediate
effects are disastrous. 1t involves the
refunding Of two and one half million
dollars OF tax already collected, and

In serious financial embarrassment Had
the decision been rendered earlier. th,,
phase OF the matter would not have beer
so serious. AS 70 its ultimate effect on
sentimenLthe opinion Is freely expressed
that the reaction now will tend {,
strengthen materially the advocacy O
prohibition. Many OF the saloon-keepen
who had come to regard the law "a
reasonably equitable one, declare them
selves as apprehensIye OF such reaction
This 10 perhaps the most cheering ele
