The Cresset has completely reversed
itself on the MscGregor injunction tax
matter. When the suit was first filed in
court. it published the facts as set forth
by the county commissioners and the
county attorney, but last week it turned
squarely against its first version Of the
case and in effect takes the position that
the contract is not taxable yet lacks cour-
age to say so openly. There are a great
many Of the Cresset's readers who
would like to know what influence was
brought to.bear to cause it to change its
position. 1t is understood that the paper
review Of the case was a studied effort
Of several great minds and that partially
accounts for the new version. There is
nevertheless vein Of ignorance in the
article. The statement is made that The
Index has contended that there is a con-
sdtudonal question involved. No such con-
tenhon was made by The Index. There is,
however, legal question Of Importance
involved, and there is a general feeling
that it should be settled definitely so that
the taxing authorities, as well as money
loaners, may know just how to govern
themselves IN the future. There is no
cause tor newspaper controversy in
this affair. IL the Cresset desires to vim
dicate Col. MacGregor's position, that is
its privilege but it should mol attempt to
misrepresent The Index merely because
it has published the facts as disclosed by
testimony detailed from the witness stand.
And in this connection we desire to say
we have nothing personal in the matter.
