Through many an awful conflict

In compliance with the request as ex-
pressed in IA resolution adopted at "A reunion

THAT GREENBACK CASE.
The Supreme Court Decides You
Cannot .Evade Taxes by
the Greenbaek Dodge.


The Sapreme Court of the I'm
tied States Yesterday rendered
decision in the Ohio greenback
case of Stewart B. Shotwell,
plaintiff in error, versus Sam A.
Moore, as treasurer of Harrison
county, o. In error Ii the Su.
preme Court of O.iio. Shotwell,
on the Saturday preceding The
second Monday in April of the
years 1881 TO 1885 (the day On
which the returns are made by
the assessor), Withdrew his de-
post in the bank at Cadiz, o.,
and them: .::af,er having 1t convert
ed into greenbacks, enclosed
them in a package, and without
leaving the bank returned the
sreenbacks TO the bank officer,
requesting him 10 deposit the
same in the bank safe. The next
week in each of these s'ssfs he
would have the money placed to
his credit as general depositer.
The object ofthis proceeding was
10 evade payment of taxes
through the provision of he Re-
vised Statutes, that obligations
of the United States shall be ,x-
empt from state or municipal tax
alton. Suit was brought against
Sholwell TO recover taxes on the
ground that his conversion CT
his deposits into greenbacks was
done with intent TO defraud the
tax assessors. The court quotes
numerous decisions to show that
it has been held that such eva
sions could not be al
lowed, but waving this con.
sideraiion, holds that The selec-
ton Of a particular day on which
10 make returns does not neces-
sarily preclude the making of as
sessments so as TO include other
periods of the year. TIE State of
Ohio has provided Tor this by
taxing citizens upOn the cap,tai
useG according TO the average
monthly amount employed, aud
the court says this is a wise and
equitable mode of determining
how much properly is liable to
taxation, Tne Judgment below
Is affirmed. Opinion by Justice
Miller. Justice Bradley dissent
ing.
There is no doubt in he opIn-
ionjof Attorney General Watson
hat The decision will result in
brin .ing in;o The treasury of the
state great many thousand dol
lars which would otherwise es-
cape Try the usual course which
has been followed. II is alleged
that there a large number of per-
sons who have been in the habit
of adopting This course in order
to get out of paying their proper
ton OF taxes.

is particularly aversed. Who Knows
but what that dog was a masc"tt ?
If it is developed in the future that
she was a mascot, then Mr.. Brooke
will have ample time to reject up
on his hasty actions in refusing to
accept what. 10 oil appearances, was

known definitely which one of his
friends sent this present to the
genial hotel keeper, but he is hunt

should attach a label setting forth
that fact. The dog is now without
an owner, and is following the
