A Nice Legal oae.ssea.

JACKSON. Dec. :7.-A nice legal sue.-
ton Is presented by the Georgia Pacific
Nf0ilroad Company In its refusal to pay
prhNege taxes on the grounds that the
tax l. unconstitutional, aud that no
State. city or county has the right TO
levy or impose a License or privilege tax
on an interstate road. as il is a r~es,ric-
ton OF Interstate commerce.
The Georgia Pacific i now in ehars.
OF a receiver appointed by the Federal
court.
a similar question was raised BY tho
Postal Telegraph Company when the
state revenue agent demanded payment
OF privilege taxes. Its not in the hands
OF a receiver. 1t seems, Is the only differ
cnce- The company raised the same
point that the imT osition of this privi-
lege tax was an interference with in
terstate commerce, and. therefore, I'M
constitutional Tae case came up to
the Supreme Court, which decided there
was nothing In the contention, and tina.
the company was liablo for the tax.
what view the Federal Court may take
oil the question remains to be seen.
The road does not deny liability for ad-
vaioriem taxes, but is paying them right
along. II also. under the terms Of the
settlement with the revenu agent, paid
the privilege taxes for isys.

that people who have for some time past
listened to MIR. Rice formally organized a

"a members and an unbounded amour t
of enthusiasm.
