tute a person a taxpayer, and on that
ground has objected to the granting of q

have appeared the names of persons
whose only claim to being taxpayers is
that they paid a poll tax. The opinion
Of the attorney general Is given in an
swer to the request Of the county at

e. W. Jones, Esq, County Attorney,

My Dear Sir-As to whether the pay

sale OF liquor or not, is a nooted ques-
ton, 1t is my opinion that the payment
oe such a tax, especially in cities of the
first class where it has 10 be paid in
cash, is the payment Of a tax within said
law
II do not know that it is necessary that

come a qualified sgner of a petition or
application for license TO sell liquor If
he is q resident OF the warn in which Il
cense is sought and owns therein proper

payer under the law. whether he has yet
paid tax or not; the fact that man
has property subject to taxation makes
him taxpayer within the law. II, how

am of the opinion that he is qualified
signer for an application for license

BY UNITING MANY CASES

Guthrie, o. T., June 15.-It is reported
here that the taxpayers of Oklahoma
county are preparing to make another
attempt to go before the supreme court
of the United States in resistance to :he
effort being made by the territory to col
Iect the tax Of 1898, which was originally
resisted because of the alleged Illegal
assessment made BY the territorial board
Of equalization. Recently the United
States supreme court dismissed the ap-
peal from the decision. OF the supreme
court of Oklahoma on the ground that
the amount involved did not exceed 5000
The rule Of that high tribunal being not
to consider cases involving less than that
amount. To comply with this rule it IS
now proposed to have number of tax
payers Join in a suit by which it is hoped
10 gain hearing before the supreme
court on the constitutionality Of the
equalization boards assessment It has
been pointed out however, that even this
plan win fail to secure consideration, if
the precedent established in a similar
case from Greer county is followed. In
the Greer county case a number of tax
PAYERS joined together 10 resisting the
payment Of taxes alleged to have been
levied on an assessment made before that
county became q part Of the territory.
The decision Of the Oklahoma, courts was
against the plaintiffs and an appeal was
taken 10 the supreme court Of the United
States. There the appeal was dismissed
on the ground Of non-jurisdiction, the
court holding that while collectively the
amount sued for exceeded the minimum
of s. .000. stiu there was not an individual
plaintiff represented to that amount.
hence the court refused to consider the
