Tulsan's Assertion

city received $3.50 from the car
while under the new law, which gives
the city one-fourth, the state tax levied
in that city, the Buick will bring the

This is an inroad on the revenues

law at the time of its passage and at
that time outlined the course the city

missioner Leecraft said Tuesday. "An
auto owner purchasing a city tag
since the new law went into effect,
and exhibiting it on his car instead
of the state tag is liable to a fine of
$500 Leecraft said. 0he new law
defines as a mlsGemeanor the pur-

"The state is going to enforce the

be paid under this contingency would
revert to the treasury of the city in

Tulsas city attorney asserts that
under the new law, which says each
city shall receive % per cent of the
tax it pays to the state, the revenues
of Tulsa from autos shrinks almost to
nothing. and that it is this condition
that the city means to fight.

FT. SMITH JUDGE ALLOWS
SALOON LICENSES TO OPEN

Fort Smith, Ark, Jan. 5.-After a
hearing lasting two days, county judge
Ezra Hester tonight decided the peti
tion asking for saloon licenses con.
tanned majority of signatures OF
white adults of the city. and granted
licenses.
The prohibitionists Immediately
filed an appeal, but the appeal will
not act as a stay to the issuance of
permits.
The court held the city had a white
adult population of 1900, and that
the petition bearing 6137 names had
not been disproven by the prohibition
lists. The city has been without saloons
since August I, when the prohibition,
lists defeated the liquor interests in
the circuit court to which tribunal
they appealed after Judge Hester last
January granted licenses TO the sa,
looms.
