SUIT TO ENJO|N
TAX COLLECTION

Parker, Rider & Brown, Of vInita
Represent AIIottees in Ottawa I
RE H'y County. ia Il

Attorneys Parker, Rider & Brown,
of this city have, on behalf of ia al
lottee plaintiffs, filed in the district
court at Miami a suit to set aside the
taxes on the lands of the said allot-
tees, in ottawa county upon the
grounds that the state has no right to
tax the lands of the allottees. The
petition filed asks for an order that
will act as temporary restraining
order against the board of county COM
missioners, the county treasurer and
the assessor from levying and collect
ing the taxes upon the lands of the
124 plaintiffs, pending the final settle
ment of the controversy.
The petition asks for two separate
orders, one covering the taxes upon
the surplus lands of the allottees and
the other upon the hoesteads. If the
courts hold that the surplus lands are
taxable, this decision will not neces
sarily invalidate the order regarding
the homestead allotments, which in
many cases cannot be sold except
through the courts.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

The Rocky Mountain News has
made arrangements to print the
syllabi of the decisions of the state
supreme court.
This is a most unusual stroke Of
enterprise and will prove of value
to every attorney in the state.
Heretofore the attorneys have
been compelled to wait until the
bound volumes of supreme court
reports were printed and issued
before they could ascertain the ex-
act principles laid down by the
highest court in the state in par
ticular case.
Nov it will only be necessary
for them to secure copy of The
News containing the syllabi. The
latter are prepared for The News
by the reporter of the court, Judge.
E. 7. Wells, and they are printed
within "A few days after the court
has handed down its decisions. In
order to avoid mistakes, it is said
that Judge Wells insists upon
scrutinizing the proofs of the
syllabi before they appear in the
paper. The state may well con-
graduate itself upon having this
learned and painstaking old jurist
as the official reporter of its high
est court.
