license for fsss and isso His was =
tess case. there being numerous other
saIoon-kecpers in Nicksburx Who had
also failed 10 procure their licenses
The aggregate runs away ap In the
thousands. The revenue agent was
trying 10 collect the tax The lower
court sustained dereudant's demurrer.
which stated that the facts alleged do
not show that any debt, duty or obliga-
tiou to the state existed for which the
revenue agent was authorized To sue by
Law. and dismissed the case. The opin-
ion Of the court IL voluminous. IL de-
cides In effect that the revenue set OF
