LIQUOR MEN MUST
SERVE SENTENCE

Guthrie, Okla, May 19.-United
states District Attorney John A. Fain
has just received from st. Paul, Mimi,
telegram stating that the federal
circuit court of appeals has reversed
the decision of Judge j. c. Pollock
in the habeas corpus case of ID. \.
Ward and w. A. Greenwood. The
two men were charged with intro
ducing liquor on Indian allotments,
and were tried before Federal Judge
J. H. Cotteral in April, 1914. They
were convicted of having a plant,
near Avant, in the Usage country,
where they had arranged a large cave
with secret storage rooms, electric
alarms and other fixtures for a large
liquor business.
The trial court sentenced each to
serve two years in the federal prison
and to pay a fine of $500 A few
weeks after they were taken to Leav-
enworth. Judge Pollock released them
on the theory that they were con-
victed under the act of Jan. 30, 1897,
which provided minimum sentence
of sixty days and 800 fine. but hav-
ing no maximum provision they could
not be sentenced in excess OF the
minimum penalty. The government
appealed from the decision of Judge
Pollock to the United States circuit
court OF appeals, on the theory tbs,
the act OF 1897 was valid standing
alone, and further that it was amend

High Wind at Purcell.

Purcell Okla, May l9.-Purcell was
visited by a heavy wind and rain
storm on Tuesday night. SO far as
is known no lives were lost but many
barns were unroofed, trees uprooted
and telephone poles blown down. The
heaviest loser appears to have been
the Purcell Telephone company on
its rural lines. Portions of roofs Of
barns were in some instances blown
distance of a quarter of a mile.
Reports from Wayne, Blanchard,
Washington, Rosedale, Byars and
Lexington are to the effect that a
much needed rain fell and that crops
are in an ideal condition.

Judge kane's Opinion.

whilst the taxes mentioned herein
obviously were collected solely for
school district purposes, and were
levied, not upon the property of public
service corporations, but upon the tax
able property situated in the school
district, section II a does not in terms
purpOrt to provide for the assessment,
levy, or collection of tax but directs
how taxes for school purpose could,
against a certain class of property, be
disposed Of when collected, evidently
assuming either that there was law
tion which provided for the levy and
collection of such tax or that some
subsequent legislature would supply
the omission. If, as we conclude, sec.
tion 12A is not self eXacting then the
law in effect at the time of its adoption
was no thereby repealed and will con.
tinue to be the law governing the as
sessment, levy and collection of taxes
for school district purposes"
Text of section 12A under consider
&c 60
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-05-20
Text of Section 12A

"All taxes collected for the main
tenance ON the common schools of this
state, and which are levied upon the
property of any railroad company,
or upon the property of any public
service corporation which operates in
more than one county of this state,
shall be paid into the common school
fund and distributed as are other com
mon school funds of this state"
Bitter struggles were enacted in
the legislature in an effort to vitalize
this section of the constitution.
Failure was followed by adoption Of
a resolution to repeal the section. The
people will vote on the question in
1916. Senator Campbell Russell Of
Warner was protagonist of section 12A
and sought by it to equalize the reye-
nues to the common schools from pub.
lie service corporations that operate
in more than one county.

is now apparent that the most ser
ious business to come before the as
sembly is the case of Union Theo
logical Seminary of New York. Many
leaders appear to favor legal action
against the institution to recover
funds in its custody, on the ground
that the seminary does not teach the
Presbyterian doctrine and is no long
er a Presbyterian institution.

REVENUE PLAN
As AMENDED,
KNOCKED OUT.
CHIEF JUSTICE KANE IN THE SU-
PREME COURT RULES AGAINST
AMENDMENT. SUIT WAS A TEST
CASE.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May l9.-The
supreme court today knocked out the
celebrated revenue plan in section
l2A of the Constitution adopted as an
amendment in August, 1913, in. so far
as ii may be executed without legisla
tive vitalization. The case was that
of the county treasurer of ChOctaw
County against a school district in
that county. The opinion is by Chief
Justice Kane. This suit was a test
case and upon it hinged whether reye-
nues derived from public service cor
porations shall be distributed under eX-
listing law or under the amendment in
volved The recent legislature refused
to yitalize the amendment and adopted
a joint resolution to submit to the
voters a proposition to amend the con
stitution by striking out the section
known as 12A.
An injunction was asked in the dis
trict court of Choctaw county in favor
Of the school district treasurer against
the county treasurer. The lower court
granted the injunction and this court
affrms that judgment Justice Kane
in his opinion says:
