a Cleveland Case yOlving the Consti.
nationality Of the Scott Law,


CLEVELAND, April A motion was be-
fore the State District Court this m orning
to reserve a case to the Supreme Court,
which requires the unanimous consent OF
all the judges. Judge Cummager in deliv-
ering the opinion of the court on granting
the motion, said Judges Lennon and Cum
mager are of the opinion that the Scott law
is unconstitutional and that the rule laid
down in the Pond law case applied to the
case before them, which was to subject Il Q
lands Of landlords to payment OF tax and
penalty because Of the fact that the tena 1t
committed misdemeanor unless said con-
sent was obtained and made 1t q license;
that the real point before the court in the
Scott csse is whether the property leased
before the passage of the Scott bill is sub
Ject TO the payment Of tax. Judge Wilk.
ham dissented holding that the Scott law
decision suited all questions arising under
the Scott law, and therefore there was no
ground for servation. The motion was
overruled in consequence OF his dissent.
The case will be heard now on its merits.
Lennon and Cummsnger are Democrats;
Wilkham is Republican.
