THE SCOTT LIQUOR-TAXLAW.
The Ohio Supreme Court Declares the
Entire Act Unconstitutional.
A Decision that Practically BankruptS the
Cities of the State and viii Cause
Great Embarrassment.

COLUMBUS. o., Oct 2S-Following is the
Supreme Court decision annulling the Scott
liquor-tax law:
State of Ohio on relation of John w Cowrcy
VS.. David Sinks, treasurer of Miami county.
Mandarus. By the Court-Okey, Owen and
Toilet, j., concurring.
l. The act of 1883, commonly called the Scott
law $50, Ohio laws, l64) amended in 1884,
ISL Ohio laws, 204 so far as provides for lien
on real estate occupied by tenant who IS a
dealer in liquors, is, in effect, license law
within tine inhibition of the eighteenth section
of the schedule to the Constitution which pro
vides that no license to traffic in intoxicating
liquors shall hereafter be granted in this State,
and therefore void. THE State vs. Hipp, 80
Ohio State, 1919, and Butzman vs. Whitbeck,
decided by this court June II, 1884, followed
and approved)
3 Inasmuch as it is plainly unreasonable and
improbable that the General Assembly would
have passed the Scott law with the provision
giving lien for the tax on the premises occu-
pied by tenants eliminated therefrom, the
whole act, so far as it produces an assessment or
tax, is unconstitutional and void. Tine State
vs.. Frame, and Benner VS.. Bauder, 80 Ohio
State, 800, overruled) The writ Of mandamus
is refused.
Johnson, G. j., and McIvaine, J., dissent
The decision, stripped of it's verbiage declares
the entire law unconstitutional, and will not
only do away with the collection of the tax this
year-only small portion of which has been
paid-but will make it necessary for all corpora
tons to pay back the amount which was collected
under the law last year, together with interest 1t
will bankrupt nearly all the cities in the State,
as the levies for the year were made on the sup
position that the law was constitutional, and
would bring into the treasury of the counties
and cities stipulated amount of money. In
Columbus, for example, between $3.50 and
$50 900 were realized from the tax last year, and
none of this amount has been paid this year;
The consequence is, the departments are behind
in payment of salaries for two and three months.
Other cities in the State are similarly situated.
The great question with municipal and county
authorities is, how will they secure immediate
relief from the embarrassing situation, the
Legislature not being in session to grant author
ity.

CHICAGO Inter Ocean: Even the suggestion
of carrying Indiana into the ranks of 'the solid
South" is an insult TO the loyal men and women
who sacrificed as much the people of any
State of the Union to maintain its honor and
integrity. 1t can not be done honestly, and it is
to be hoped the loyal citizens of the State are
wide enough awake not to allow it being done by
other means
NEW YORK Sun: If Mr.. Blaine, by talking
protection up and down in Ohio, was able to turn
what the Democrats themselves considered
doubtful battle into an open success, how
much stronger is the probability that he will
carry all before him in New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut, which are even more vitality
interested than Ohio in the assurance of undis-
turbed protection to industry
Boston Advertiser; On the night of the Ohio
election Mr.. Blaine is said to have exchanged
telegraph messages with home: 'Ask Mrs
Blaine how that plumbing is getting along; if it
is good job" and at that very time TO- 900 men

taxation that rolls $40O, 900 900 year into the

know that the total duty collected by the tariff
last year was $3.50, 2S2, 1856, and that the annual

The Cincinnati Enquirer has more than three
columns of encyclopedia stuff, which it head
lines "by cable" Here is a specimen of the
opening of the second paragraph:
sit is related by French historians that once
upon time, when the French army stood face
to face with an English army, the English Off
GERS called out, Gentlemen of the French
Guard, fret to which the French officers replied
Gentlemen fire yourselvesl Upon this invita-
ton the English did fire, and the result was
most sanguinary battle"
The Enquirer presumes on the common sense
of its readers, when it labels such matter as that
'by cable" Such palpable falsehoods have the
effect to cast discredit upon all the alleged
'news" that appears in its columns.

There is probably not candidate before the

kept up, in part, by one or two individuals

A. GOOO PROFIT.

There are two facts pressing themselves
on the attention of the wool grower:
First, that he can realize 5 cents per Id.
more for his wool in the Chicago market
than he can to sell at his door. Second,
that if he sells his wool at home he gets his
money IN hand while his wool is in sight.
Let us see what the first fact means. The
average price of washed wool last year was
80 cents per Id. The average weight Of
washed fleece in this county is lbs. per
head. The gain by selling in Chicago would
average 25 cents per sheep, an advance of
16a per cent, and of itself is good profit
Now let US see what there is in the second
fact. As soon as the farmer gets the cash
for his clip, say two to ten hundred dollars,
if he can't let it to some dairyman at good
rate OF interest, he deposits it in one of our
Kenosha banks. (For you must know, as
our president said in his annual address be-
fore the Wool Growers Association, g The
touch of sleeps foot is gold.'' It's the
coW's foot that knocks over the milk pail J
He knows the banks so well he places his
money there with the fullest confidence that
he will suffer no loss. He knows the bank
officers; he knows their financial standing
and responsibility he knows they are men
of character and respectability knowing
these things he believes his money will be
safe and he can get 1t at any time he wants it
But he knows nothing of the Chicago WOO
commission merchant. He don't know
| whether the merchant has single dollar O.
his own to back him, and he doesn't know
whether he is honest or not. A farmer
would not dare to trust himself so far away
with other peoples property, and he darl
not trust the commission merchant either.
Now I shall tell you what know about it
I know there are two kinds Cat least) of com
mission merchants. One kind never wan
the same customer twice. They make al
they want out of him the first time; an,
they always prefer new customers. Tn
other kind always do business in way t
retain their customers, year after year, an
depend on their old customers to get Their
new ones And their old customers tax
pleasure in doing it. Now when was dow
to Chicago made it point to inquire int
this. went to W. A. Allen s. Co., and sal
