PRAIRIE LOSES TAX SUIT.
Supreme Court Holds Tax Commits =
sion Has Authority to Act.

Oklahoma City, Jan. THE su-
preme court has denied a writ Of
prohibition in the case of the Prairie
OIL and Gas company against the
state board of equalization. This
action was brought by the Prairie
company when the state board of
equalization placed upon the tax rolls
as taxable property the sum OF $10,-
100000 additional to what had been
fixed by tho board at their regular
session for assessing such corpora
tions. The sum added was suggested
by C. II. Pittman, special tax au-
ditor, who is employed on COM
mission basis to discover overlooked
taxable values. 1t was based upon
the values of the leases owned by
the Prairie and other things that
were alleged to show greater values
than We're placed upon the rolls at
the time Of the assessment.
The contention of the Prairie was
that the board was ''functus offlcio"
and that II had no power to re-
convene for the purpose of ASSESS
ing property. Other contentious
were also made by the Prairie in
its application for a writ OF prohi
bition. The court held that the board
was privileged to recess from time
to time and that it had authority to
reconvene whenever exigencies re-
quired. II Is held by the court that
at the time of the assessment com
planned the court was duly in ses-
sion and had jurisdiction over the
subject matter. Having jurisdiction
the court holds, the board will not
be prohibited from acting on the
ground that It committed error OF
Judgment.
1t is expected that the board may
now proceed to assess the othtr pipe
line companies upon the same basis
now that the court has denied the
writ and assured it of its jurisdic
ton. The added assessment will be
on the same basis as that by which
the values of the Prairie were raised.
The other pipe lines are the Gulf
the Texas and the Magnolia.

I Russians in trans-Caucasia has been
removed. The loss of so many of their
best strained officers and men, it is
| believed here, will compel the Turks
to give up any ambition they had of
invading their enemy's territory and
force them to concentrate OF the de-
fense of their own country.
Military men, however, are taking
even greater interest in the Russian
invasion of Hungary through Uzsok
Pass in the Carpathians and their rap
id advance on Transylvania through
Bukowina simultaneously with their
movement toward Cracow These com
bined operations are the most gigan-
tic undertaken in the war.
