COURT PUNCTURES
 THE WINGO LAW
Judge K. w. Winfield OyerruleS States Demurrer to the Answer of the
 Pacific Express Company.

Judge p. w Winfield of the Second Division Pulaski Circuit Court yester- day overruled the demurrer of the state to the answer of the defendant in the case of State of Arkansas vs. the Pacific Express Company, says the Little Rock Gazette. This de- murrer was argued before Judges Winfield and Lea in July, H. M. Arm istead of the firm of Mehaffy, Will Hams & Armistead, representing the defendant, and Attorney General Kir- by and Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton the state.
 An action was filed by the state against the Pacific Express Company, alleging that it was doing business in the state as foreign corporation, without paying the fees required by the act of the legislature, known as the "Wingo law The state prayed for penalties in the sum Of $1,000 daily. The defendant answered and plead that it was not affected by the Wingo act, as it had compiled with the laws of the state as to admission of foreign corporations, particularly the act of 1899, and therefore was protected by it's contract with the State of Arkansas from any change not imposed alike upon domestic corr pOrationS.
 Obligation of Contract
 It plead and relied upon the clauses of the constitution of the United States, providing that no state may pass a law impairing the obligations of contract, and providing for equal protection of the laws.
 The state demurred to this answer on the ground that it did not raise a defense. Thus the issues were closed. Upon argument of the demurrer, coun sel for state contended that it's power to pass such law as the Wingo act and cOntended for an interpretation of the law making it's provis ions apply to foreign corporations already in the state before the pas sage of the act.
 The defendants counsel contended that the act was intended to be pros pective only, in it's operation, not af- fecting corporations already having complied with the law, but that if it should be construed as affecting such corporations then the act is unconsti- tutional. Reliance was placed upon the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of American Smelling and refining company vs. Colorado, and an opin- ion of the Supreme Court of South Carolina, following the decision of the United States Supreme Court.
 State to Appeal
 In the meantime and after the pas sage of the Wingo act many foreign corporations had either withdrawn from the state or paid additional charges demanded. Many thousands of dollars were paid to the state by for eign corporations under this law now declared not to require such payment.
 It is likely that these fees cannot be recovered and such corporations as withdrew rather than pay the ad- ditional demands or litigate the ques- ton will have to pay all fees demand ed by the Wingo act if they wish to re-enter the state. It is understood that the state will appeal from the decision of the circuit court
