BLAKEY FILES ANSWER
AK COMMISSIONER STILL
 AFTER LLu 0vn MEN.
He Contends That Petition of Jesse o'Neal as to Constitution of 1919 is Without
 Effect.

Tax Commissioner W. NJ. Blakey. rep- resenting the respondent in the mandamils proceedings of Jesse O'Neal against J. F. Gaaton, Probate Judge of MontKomery County to compel him to issue the peti. tioner a State license without the pay. ment of County license. yesterday ffed an answer to the petitioners bill as amend. ed by his counsel
 t will be remembered that w. s. Reese attorney for the petitioner. last weel amended his bill which had been helt without merit. raising the point that ths charter of the city of Mofta0mePy of lSs' contained provision exempting thu liquor dealers inside the city limits iron County licenses and the Constitution O l8Iy. under which the Legislature va, acting at that time had no provision. re curing the subject matter of q bill tf be set out fully In it's title.
 The answer yesterday filed by Mir Blakey sets out that that section of the charter of 1S37 which provides for ths exemption of liquor dealers from C0unty license is unconstitutional on account of being legislation in favor of one class of business and against other classes of bus mess. as none but liquor dealers are ex- empted.
 Judge A. D. sayre of the City Court will probably render an opinion on the cage today

 The State Court held this plan to be valid on the ground that ihe uSe was governed by state and not by Federal law. inasmuch as the note was made pay able to an officer of the bank and not to the bank Itself.
