Ills Department, at Least, Will Not At
Sennpt TO Legalize the Dallas Mill,
Which He Declares is Mani
festly Unlawful.

Stale Comptroller II. w. Finley yes
slerday sent the following vigorous Letter
TO the tax collector of Dallas county
and it needs no explanation:
Austin, Tex, July 2, 1879.
Mr.. Louis Jacoby, Tax Collector Dallas
County Dallas, Texas:
Dear Sir--In reply to your favor OF
Ghc 2Sth nit. making application for oc-
,-upation tax receipt for glove contest
scheduled to come off in the city Of Dallas
an October 81, 1896 beg to say:
After careful examination and conSid-
GRAFTON of the question presented, !
have reached the following conclusion:
While il is true that the act of 1889,
mage 2G, laws Of 1889, provided for an
occupation tax of $500 for each perform
ance for every fight between man and
man" the legislature of this State has
by subsequent enactment made it unlaW-
full for any person to voluntarily engage
IN a pugiistic encounter between man
and man, or between man and any other
animal, for money or other thing of
value, or upon the result of which any
money or anything of value is bet or
wagered, or TO see which any admission
fee is charged either directly or indi-
.eectly. CSee chapter %, laws twenty
second legislature, page 54)
That the effect of said act of the
Twenty legislature was to repeal
so much Of the act of 1899 as permitted
IN occupation tax to be charged for
fights between man and man, or be-
tween man and bulls or other animals"
mas been decided by our court Of Grim
inal appeals in the case of John Sullivan
VS.. The State, appealed from the county
court Of Dallas county. (See 32nd vol
VINE Texas Criminal Reports, page 50)
YOu are therefore respectfully advised
shat this department will not attempt to
legaliZC the proposed pugilistc encounter
in this State, by the issuance of a Ii
wcnse therefor, or by authorizing you as
tax collector of Dallas county to receive
any sum Of money, from an person, as a
license tax for such performance, when
Ehe same is manifestly unlawful and has
been so expressly declared by the people
of Texas through their legislature.
The statement made in my letter to you
of June -, to the effect that the act of
1889 was still in force as to the matter in
question, was simply an error of the clerk
who wrote it. In fact, the letter was
signed by me without my attention being
directed to the opinion therein expressed.
y am, yours very respectfully,
II. w. FINLEY,
Comptroller.
