NO TEST FOR GASOLINE HERE
Attorneys Offer to stipulate to Get
Case Into Last Court of the State
But Even This Suggestion is Not Fol
lowed

The Wisconsin State Oil Department
seems to have abandoned the fight to
establish the right of the state to test
gasoline sent to manufacturers in the
state for their own use and the time
for the appeal of the action brought by
the state against the Thomas B. JEFF
fiery Company of this city, to the high
er courts has expired and the judg-
ment of the municipal court handed
down by Judge Randall more than two
months ago stands as the final iudg-
ment in the case. In this ruling the de
cision was against the state law as the
court held that the Thomas B. Jeffrey
Company could not be forced to pay for
the inspection of oil as claimed by the
state oil Inspector. At the time of the
hearing of, the case Inspector Tracy of
the state department. came to Kenosha
In person and when Judge Randall
handed down his decision in the case
the state official declared in no uncer-
tain language that the case would be
appealed. Attorney Chester Barnes had
prepared an exhaustive brief on the
question which was filed with the court
and a copy of which was filed with the
district attorney who prosecuted the ac-
ton for the state. This brief was to
be filed with the attorney general In
his decision Judge Randall held that
the company could not be charged for
the inspection of the gasoline as it was
shown that the inspection would be
of no value to the company.
The attorneys who represented the
Jeffery Company in the action were
not adverse to having the case tested
In the higher court and after the time
for the appeal had gone by Attorney
Barnes offered to stipulate with the
district attorney and the attorney gen
eral for an extension of the time for
the appeal with the understanding that
viz S"h1O OApClO GCoIlIHOuy COulQ U6
used before the supreme court as had
been used in the municipal court but
this stipulation was evidently not ac-
ceptable to the attorney general and it
was not agreed upo&. Under the pres
ent status the law so far as it ap-
plies to the inspection of oil purchased
for private consumption and not for
sale is invalid. Notwithstanding this
ruling of Judge Randall it is declared
that the state department is collecting
inspection fees in other cities of the
state Manufacturers from other cities
are now seeking the decision of Judge
Randall and it is pretty certain that
the state department will have lot of
new cases along the same line to fight
before the right Of the department to
collect this tax is established. 1t is
not at all improbable that the appeal of
the case was dropped on account of the
fact that the state department did not
desire to secure a ruling on the point
from the highest court of record in the
state.

BUILDING REPUTATION
Is the Great sells-Floto Shows.

Ao eA1C &f4VcV1 AJGAA0-4 4OGO ollUW6.
F Other shows depend upon their repu-
tation in the past. The Sells Floto
Shows depend upon some great thriller,
some act wonderful in itself, but which
appeals only to adults and then occupies
the attention only five or ten seconds
The Sells Floto Show offers hundreds
of acts and the $4,000 Armour prize
team.
The horses compose a feature which
is being praised everywhere. -Four
hundred we'll groomed and well matched
dapple grays draw the cages, floats and
band wagons in the parade and they
delight the horse lover. The racers
are Of undisputed lineage. The steeds
attached to the Roman chariots are
beauties, and the Shetland ponies will
delight the children. The famous high
school horses are one of the most en-
joyable parts Of the performance.
Sells-Floto Shows come to Kenosha,
Wis.,, August 18th.

1t is rather surprising that the State
Oil inspection department let the chance
to appeal the case started in this city
to establish the right of the state to
collect inspection fees on oil intended
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for private consump-
ton go by without carrying the matter
to the highest court for a decision
which would definitely settle the mat
ter. 1t is possible that the state has
decided to abandon the attempt to col
lect on this class of oil shipments. SO
long as the decision of the lower court
stands it is not probable that any of
the manufacturers Of the state will pay
these inspection fees to the department
and so long as the matter must be test
ed in the courts if any attempt is made
to collect the fees it would seem that
the state had better chance to get an
early decision by carrying on the
friendly suit started here, than by per-
hitting it's right to appeal from the
decision of the lower court to lapse and
starting the same contention all over
again somewhere else.
