SVSS9O W. odoNSS 0dus +.
The high school basket ball team
proved to be no match for the Coe Col

Saturday night. AT The end of the first
half, which was considerably shorter
than the visiting girls We're accustomed
to playing, the score stood 8 to 2 in ia
vor of Coe, Miss McI.eish, of Coe, and
Miss Wallace, of the visitors, having
each secured a basket from the field.
Miss French, of Coe, prevented the half
ending in a tie by scoring on a foul. In
the second half the Coe girls, evidently
realizing that they would have to work
to win, began playing a furious game.
For Coe Misses Bechtel, McLeish and
Munger threw baskets, and Miss Bur-
roughs, for the visitors, scored one foul.
The game ended with the score II to 3
in favor of Coe. The game was ex-
ceedingly we'll played turnout, and was
considered to have been the best game
between girls ever played at the
Rapids.
The local team will play its next

County Has Good Prospects of
Winning in Cigaret Mulct
Tax Case
MEANS BETWEEN $4,000 and $1,000
American Tobacco Company Brings An
other Case From Muscatine County,
in Which Several Points Not Covered
in Marshat's Action, Are Brought
out-Appeal Will Likely Be Taken.

The TimeS-RepublfcanS dispatches
Saturday intimated that the cigaret
lmulct tax case, brought from this
Icounty before the supreme court, is
likely to result i'll a victory for the
county, but that other complications
now developed, may postpone ac-
ttion. Interested parties are watching
daily the supreme court records. as a
decision has been expected in h To-
Ical case n time.
The case is which Marshall county is
interested Is brought by Charles z.
Cook and Ed Plunkett against the
county. The plaintiffs are the appel
lants and were beaten in the lower
court a few years ago, when Mar
recover on the cigaret mulct tax from
dealers. The tax is $500 a year and had
run for about two years. Eight or
nine dealers are interested, but by
agreement Mr.. Cook stood as defendant
in a test case. If the county wins
its treasury will be enriched by be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000. The case was
argued orally in the supreme court last
October and was submitted for a de-
cision at his term. m is expected
unless the matter is postponed for a
year because of another action brought
by the American Tobacco Company
which is the real plaintiff in the case,
from Muscatine county. In the local
case the tobacco company contends
that the law should be held void be-
cause of its violation of the we'll known
theory of original packages" not being
subject to local control when they are
sent across state lines. The most inn
portant reason for demanding the de-
feat of the law was, however, that 1t
improperly passed. 1t is commended
that the law was put into h code of
1897 as a part of the criminal statutes
of the state. 1t was added to the m
nibus bill for the re-enactment of the
criminal statutes of the state. This is
to have been a gross error, as
it is strictly a taxing bill and not a
of the statutes relating to crimes.
The Muscatine county case, 1T is
raised in the cIse" Observation-Disclosures
a resident of Illinois owned property
Muscatine, was assessed for the
tax, the same as was Mr. PUNK
EFT, who owns the building where Mr..
Cook formerly conducted a restaurant
and sold oigarets. In this case the
question is raised as to the ~unconstitu-
tionality of the entire law, being con-
trary to the provisions of the state and
the United States constitutions, pro-
that property shall not be taken
without due process of law. The due
process of law referred to is that of
taxes in a formal manner. The
tax law has nc provision for
or a hearing, which is contrary
to all principles of assessments and
taxes.
The second case can not very well be
heard before another "a and the
court may decide to wait and
both submitted before either one
is decided.
If the lower court is affirmed in the
Iowa supreme court it is thought here
that the tobacco company will carry
the case up to the United States SUI
preme court, rather than to pay the
assessments.
