 freedom to E. B. Sterchi of Knoxville. Tenn, who was under trial on a vagrancy charge. It had been thought that Sterchi was a suspected character, owing to nu- merous banned articles found on his per son, but he development of the story showed that he had merely been unfortu- nate in the selection of his comrades, and that he was from splendid family.

PROF FESS|ONAL MEN
 WILL TEST LAW
Believed $5 Tax UncOnstitu- tiOnal-Several Decisions
 Are Cited

Montgomery, December i3.-(Special.)- According to opinions expressed by va- rious well known lawyers of, Montgom- cry and backed up with various supreme court decisions of other states, such de- cisions being in cases having a very simi- lar, if not identical, bearing, section 331a or tho state revenue law, found on page 1Sl, is unconstitutional, and the state can not legally collect the tax of s5 assessed against each professional man in Alabama actively engaged in the practice of his respective profession.
 This matter was looked up after 1t was announced that the tax commissioners were going to get busy in collecting this tax imposed by the revenue bill. The un- constitutionality or rather alleged uncon- stitutionahty, is based upon the fact that the law in question exempts Confederate veterans from paying this tax, which is in violation of the federal constitution, and of the state constitution, inasmuch as 1t denies equal protection of the laws to all.
 One lawyer cites several important de- cisions to prove his point, one being the state of Vermont against Albert Shedroi book 63, l.. R. A., page 179, the head lines reading, '"The exemption of honor- ably discharged soldiers of the rebellion, citizens of. the state, from provisions of statute, requiring peddlers to pay li- cense tax, is a denial of the equal pro- lection of the laws, within the prohibition of the fourteenth amendment of the United States constitution"
 Another case cited is. that of the city of Laurens, s. C., against Anderson, 75th The South Carolina statute providing that all soldiers and sailors of the Con- federate States who enlisted from this state, and who were honorably dis charged, shall hereafter be exempt from any license for carrying on any business or profession, is violative of the stata and federal constitutions against the de- nial of equal protection of the laws, as it ignores veterans of other wars than the civil war;
 The states of Iowa, Wisconsin, Texas and other states have so held that any laws of taxation, where there is an ex- emption clause covering certain classes of people, is unconstitutional, as it vio- lates the federal cons6tution and state constitutions. No case of it's kind has ever come up in Alabama before as such a point has not been raised.
 The professional men in general seemed to be opposed to this extra license tax of $5. and it is said on good authority, that the constitutionality of the law will be tested.
