MAY TAN NEWSPAPERS.
Virginia Supreme Court Holds that Mu-
nieipality Has the Power.

Norfolk. Va, Jan. 2s.-The supreme
court of the state, sitting at Richmond
has handed down its opinion in the case
OF the city VS. the newspapers of Nor
folk, and ruled that they must pay the
license tax recently imposed by the
councils, thus reversing the opinions OF
Circuit Judge Prentiss, who ruled that
II was Illegal because the city could
impose no tax where the state failed
to do so.
When the law was passed the news
papers resisted the payment of the
tax and secured an injunction restrain
ing the city from collecting the license.
When Judge Prentiss rendered his de-
cision the city appealed.
After reviewing the case at length,
the supreme court decided that tax
imposed upon the business of publish
ing a newspaper is not an abridgement
of the freedom of the press-the guar
antees of free speech, free press, etc.
were not intended to restrict taxation
for government support.
The opinion holds that the tax was
levied in accordance with charter
rights which the court says can be cor
rocted by repeal by the Legislature.
Judge Harrison handed down the opin-
ion, which is the first OF its kind in
this state and probably in the United
States.
There Is still pending in the state
legislature bills asking exemption of the
tax, which, If passed, would render the
opinion void. The decision calls for n
tax OF 800 a year on morning and $50
on afternoon papers.

tablished a precedent in the matter of

Judge Murphy's court a plea in abate-
ment was entered by Robinson's law
yer on the ground that the federal
building was a United States reser-
walton and that the state had no juris-
dictIon over offenses committed inside
the building. The plea was sustained
W Judge Murphy who said that the
statute of 1872 gives the United States
government supreme jurisdiction over
such territory. This relieves Robin
son of all fear of prosecution, as the
federal statutes provide for the pun
ishment of murder only when commit
