OWNED
TOBACCO TAXABLE

Louisville, Jan. 24-Large guam
titles of export tobacco, in Ken
lucky are being affected by a de-
cision of the Court of Appeals
handed down Thursday by Chief
Justice Carroll, holding that John
Ross and Company, Liverpool,
must pay taxes for 1917 on $92,-
400 Of priced tobacco awaiting
shipment in warehouses at
|Owensboro.
Tobacco dealers estimated
that 100000 pounds of tobacco
annually is bought by European
companies, either through their
own buyers or local leaf brokers
The prices average from Is to sc
cents pound to 55 and 90 cents
for hurley.
While Louisville has collected
city taxes on tobacco known to be
the property Of foreign concerns,
quantities have escaped taxation
said Joseph S. Lawton and M. H.
Thatcher, of the City Law De
partment, because it was claimed
that the companies were acting
acting as agents of their govern
ments, who were claimed to be
the owners of the tobacco.
Ross and Company sought to
evade taxes on the ground that it
is personal property, and is stored
there only temporarily; because
shipping facilities have been de-
layed. The court held that this
ldoes not come within the meaning
!of the statute exempting proper
ty, the taxable situs of which is
elsewhere and temporarily stored
as, for instance, in transit.
The opinion affirmed the Da-
viess circuit court.

were greatly disappointed as every
thing was in readiness, the hall beau
tifully decorated, the splendid or
chestra from Virginia had arrived and
those who braved the storm were
fully paid as the good cheer within

the inclemency of the weather. 1t

Health, regarding the extent to which
a physician may prescribe whisky in
the treatment of influenza, which has
"breken out" again in Louisville, has
been n1isquoted in number of papers
according to DR.. Mccormack. He
simply warned physicians to be care
full that they do not violate the pro-
hibition law thoughtlessly. The use
of whisky in influenza cases is left to
the discretion of the physician, who
must, of course, consider the amount
of whisky that may be prescribed fol
a patient under the law, during g
given period, he says.
