lection of this tax is illegal, but
at this season of the year / cannot
afford to have my business inter-
fered with. !"
Col. Robson, for the firm OF
Sass & Crawford, said he believed
the merchants ought to keep up
the fight.
A. F. Jones, grocer. said that
in his opinion the cheapest way
out Of the matter was to make the
payment demanded and then con-
tinue the legal fight.
C. R. Jones, furniture. said:
II am not personally opposed to
paying taxes. if it is legal taxes.
No honorable citizen should be.
1t seems that there is a question
about the legality Of this per
cent. tax. The court should de-
eide the matter, then every law
abiding citizen will abide by it. +"
j. N. Morgan, grocer, believes
the merchants should stubbornly
refuse to pay.
j. A. Bivens, of Bivens & Will
liams, hardware. is of the opinion
that the courts will do away with
the collection. The tax is un-
just and the Business Mems
League should stubbornly prose-
cute their case"

haYe never refused to pay it.. I
believe the matter should be ad-
Indicated"
Sam Weeks, timer: II belieye
the tax is illegal and can be
knocked out. but we should wait
until we can get titles to property
before fight is made. u
T. N. Coleman. druggist: IF
it's the law why not pay the taxi"
E. B. Luke. music dealer: Il
have not refused to pay the tax,
