Can't coAsect Nesr.sser Tax.

A test case was made Saturday az
ternoon Of the ordinance imposing a
five hundred dollar tax on the near
beer saloons In this city. Brinson and
Blount, two proprietors Of near-beer
saloons, were arrested and taken be-
fore Judge Sawyer upon the charge
of failing to pay the tax.

that the ordinance imposing the tax
was unconstitutional and that the tax
could not be collected. There Is a
provision in the town charter that
makes the tax upon such establish
ments the same as the tax imposed
by the state, which is twenty dollars
per year. Judge Sawyer consulted the
very best legal advice before he rem
dered a decision, to prevent any criti
cism that might arise through q mis-
understanding OF his power In the mat
