BILLIARD RENDERS HIS OPINION IN
 GREENLEE CO. TAX LAW MIDDLE

1 10 per cent more than it received in the previous year from all sources. Such being the case, the remaining question is what was meant by the legislature by the expression other sources of revenue?" Does-it apply to sources other than those raised by taxation upon real and personal prop erty?
 The United States supreme court has declared that the use of the word i revenue" without any qualifying phrase means the money derived by the sovereignty from all sources of taxation, licenses excepted, but they have also held that the words "other sources" has a broader definition and means revenues derived by the sov- ereignty from any other source what soever
 U. s. vs. Norton, s1 U. S. 5ss, 2s L. ed. 454.
 See also 18th Howard U. s. SS The definition given to the term revenue" by Webster's and Worces- ter's dictionary is that it covers reve- nue derived by sovereignty from any source whatsoever; I am, therefore, of the opinion thatwhen tho statute uses the words from all sources" it means any speeiesAof revenue deriv- ed by a county from any source what soever.
 This practically answers the queS- tion propounded by your letter How ever, I can now understand that you will necessarily follow it up by the question as to the course to proceed if it should be determined th:.t Green lee county's assessment is excessive and I, therefore, in advance answer the query which you must necessarily propound.
 As I understand it, it is conceded that GreenIee county's tax levy is excessive and that it is only a ques- ton then to be determined is what is the result? It the levy void as to all purposes, or as to the excess? am confident that it is only void as to the excess and that tax pay CTS of the county, because of the nK- cessive levy, cannot escape the pay ment of a tax up to the amount that the levy should have been properly made. The levy is valid up to the limit prescribed by law and can only be enjoined as to the excess. sf+

 Conceding that Greenlee county's assessment is excessive as l. have hereinbefore stated, it is void as to the excess only, therefore it is not necessary to make any new levy. The matter, I think can be arranged by the direction from your body to the board of supervisors and the county treasurer to accept in pay ment of taxes such sums as should have been collected from each tax payer if the levy had not been ex- eessive, and to remit all excessive taxes under the provisions of the tax law hereinbefore cited.

onlookers their final inability to score a single point. While careful train ing and study of tactics was demon. strated by the Clifton team, yet it seemed that chance played the wis itors some unexpected results. While Clifton played decisive victory, they realized before the close that their opponents were rivals indeed.
 The Clifton boys entertained their Douglas guests at a spread on the even ing of the day of the game, thus ex- pressing their conception of hospi- tality. A merry crowd assembled to hear the congratulations and repin- ings that were the aftermath of the day.
 The Douglas boys left on the fol lowing morning for their homes, vow ing vengeance to be theirs at the next meeting of the two teams, which will be during the middle of the com ing month, when the home boys will visit at Douglas for return game. But the Clifton boys are possessed of that again will victory be theirs.
 It is announced that the teams of Clifton, and Deming, New Mexico, Will be pitted against each other on the Clifton grounds on November 8, Deming coming for a return of the game played between the two teams at Deming some weeks since, when Clifton went gallantly to victory.

MEX|CAN'S THROAT CUT IN DRUNKEN
 BRAWL
Assault With Intent To Commit Mur- der Committed At Guthrie Wounded Man In Hospital
 ASsaiIant In JaiI

In a drunken brawI at Guthrie on Tuesday evening, shortly after seven o'clock, a Mexican named Cesenos was slashed across the throat with a knife in the hands Of Nestcr Flores.
 The wounded man staggered across the railroad tracks and fell uncon- scious on the depot platform and shortly afterwards the assailant was taken into custody. As a result of the attack Cesenos sustained a sever ed wind pipe and several ugly gashes around the neck, but fortunately the juglar vein was not severed and the indications are that the wounded man will recover.
 The first telephone message to Sheriff Patty stated that Cescnos was dead but later it was discovered that the wounded man was able to breathe and he was brought to Clifton and placed in the hospital.

The Other system in general use is

Markets for Poultry.
The bulk Of the poultry OF the
United States IS produced in the middle
west, shipped either alive or dressed.
That shipped alive is usually intended
for Immediate consumption while the
bulk OF the dressed poultry finds its
way into cold storage warehouses. The
northern markets prefer dry-picked
poultry, while in the south the scalded
ones find favor. Live poultry usually
goes.tO market in the regulation crates,
although it is not unusual for whole
carloads, shipped in especially de-
signed cars, to be sent outsOf the pOul-
try producing centers. These can &C
commodate as high as 1000 chickens or
1900 turkeys.
In the south it costs about nine cents
a pound to fatten chickens. and in the
western packing stations three cents
a pound to dress them. Shrinkage
averages a little less than One-seventh
Of the total weight. The buying of
eggs and poultry from the farmer is
done in about the same way, and prac-
tically the same number and kinds OF
middlemen are interested.
