LICENSE is
NOT DO UBLE TAX
SO RULES JUSTICE POLICY IN
SUPREME tCpURT.-RULING
GAME LICENSE ACT.

Pierre, s.. d. In the habeas o
pus APPLICATION ,,f William Hoffert,
from Miner count Y, in a test of the
automobile license. act, in the opin-
ion by Justice s. G.. Policy, the ques-
!tion Of double taxation" which was
made one of the matr, features of the
case. is disposed of by the holding
that the license fee required is not
double taxation. for tile reason that
lit is a fee for use of the highways,
and not a charge again st either the
machine itself, nor the owner there
of. That the individual may own
any number of motor driven vehicles.
and SO long as he confines their use
to his own premises, the license does
not apply, either to him as an indi-
lvidual, nor to the machine which he
owns
1t applies only to the use of such
motor driven vehicle upon THE high
ways of the state, and as such is a
police regulation, and mo a revenue
measure as commended by tile appli-
cant. That the fee SO collected goes
into a road fund and not into the
general funds for general use. That
it is a we'll known fact that motor
driven vehicles which travel the high
ways at a high speed are more de-
structive to highways than are horse
driven vehicles, and that their use
materially increase the expense to
tthe public In maintenance of such
highways, and that It. is neither un-
reasonable nor unjust to ask those
Fwho cause this additional expense up-
on the public to help pay the in
creased cost, placed Upon the public
by their Use. ss@ aye isN aSfh~l
That the states OF Mississippi and
Ohio declared motor vehicle license
fees tosb be unconstitutional, I iSnfi ads
mitted, But In each of these cases. ID
fee was based upon. horse power of
the machine, and all such funds col
lected outside the expense of regis
ttration were transferred into the gen
eral funds of the state, and it was
on chat point OF using such funds for
fgeneral purposes that such acts were
held to be unconstitutional. ~ Rti4
In theadecision by Justice Gates, in
the case of State, VS.. Joe Kirby, in
which Kirby attempted to test the
game license act on the ground of
taxation, the same issue is brought
to the front. The court holds that
the law specifically provides that the
funds so collected shall be used for
the enforcement of the game law of
the state, and the propagation and
preservation of game, and that its
use for such purposes is within the
police power of the state, and such
license is not a tax. On the allega-
ton of the defendant that the act
attempts to discriminate between,
residents and non-resfdents, it is held
that the defendant does not show
that he has been injured by such PRO-
vision Of the act, and that even
though such portion Of the act be
tshown to be discriminatory, such
matters are severable from the pro-
visions of the act which are in har-
mony with the constitution"
While many other issues are rais-
ed these are the leading issues raised
in the cases. 9'9

Pierre, S. DgFThe state railway

express rates in this state on the plea

rates. The position of the state COM
mission is under practically two diff

While not in any way connected
with this case reports filed with the
state tax commission make a pecu,iar
showing. The Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul Railway company in it's
sworn report shows that the Wells
Fargo Express company, for the
past year paid them $276,O28 for
carrying express matter for that com
pany. The Wells Fargo Express
company in its sworn report to the
same commission places its total re-
ceiptsl for the state for the same
period at $155. III, which figures do
not make a very straight track in the
estimation of the tax commission. In
the case of the Chicago and North

from the Express company, and the

tory and conflscated about 65 tons OF
c0lored oleomargarine.
The officers then loaded with cleo

there to proceed without guidance.

BOMB RECEIVED IN MAIL j.
BLOWS man TO PIECES
Explosion Of Suspicious Pack.
age Kills F.. W. Minnerich
at Sullivan, III.

Sullivan, Ill.,, March 2.-Frederick
W. Mennerich was killed by the eXplo
sion of an internal machine which he
received from Decltur by mail and
tried to open after deciding that his
ability as an expert rcpairman would
prevent ignition OF the explosive.
Mennerich wills terribly mutilated
and lived only two hours after the
dynamite had gone off, tearing away
part of the side OF his house.
| Mennerich's wife. from whom he
had been separated several months,
was taken in custody at Springfield,
ILL.,. as witness, but was later re-.
leased, as she knew nothing about the
machine.
The case was reported to federal
officers, who evolved the theory that
former companions Of Mennerich in
counterfeiting may have sent the ma
chine.
Mennerich received the fatal pack
age by mail Friday morning. It had
been mailed in Decatur Thursday.
From the appearance of the parcel,
Mennerich decided it was an explo-
sive apparatus and refused to open it.
He wrote letter to his wife in
Springfield, telling her about the pack
age. He said he had decided to open
the package, as he knew how to do
30 without causing an explosion, if
the box proved to be container Of
dynamite.
This letter was not mailed. It was
found unsealed in the yard after the
explosion. This fact led the sheriff
to believe that possibly Mennerich had
made the machine himself to cover
up suicide.
