Liquor Men Must
Pay Tenn. Taxes

CHATTANOOGA, Jan. 14.-Chan-
ecellor 7. M, Mcconnell, after a hear
ing to-day, declined to dissolve the
lnJunctions obtained by CHATTANOOGA
wholesale whisky dealers restraining
the State from collecting privilege
taxes.
Revenue Agent Owens declared that
liquor men had no right to restrain
the State from the collection of
taxes, that if they thought the COL
lection of taxes unjust they should
pay under protest and later sue for
recovery. He declared that the
wholesalers had Government licenses
which was prima facie evidence and
that some of them had pleaded guilty
in the Criminal Court in Chatta
nooga. He said they might have litt-
cation with the county, but took the
position that they had no right to
restrain the State from collection of
taxes.
The defense argued that the State
had no right to levy taxes upon inter-
state shippers.
Chancellor Mcconnell said that he
had thoroughly Investigated the ques-
ton involved. and that he had not
changed his mind. He said he had
been upheld by the United States
Supreme Court
