Special to The Express.
Kansas City, Nov. 11.--That the
Western association has sole juris-
diction over its internal affairs and
that the National board of Arbitrd-
ton has no power to NEEDLE, is ex-
pected to be the decision of that
board in the deal of Dick Cooley and
Ted Waring from the action of the
directors of the association last Sep.
tember in exelling them from the
league and forfeiting the franchises
Of Enid and Okmulgee.
So confident is President Letcher
that this contention of his will be
sustained by the board before which
all parties appeared last night, that
he has called an adjourned meeting
OF the directors to be held in the
Hotel MYehlebach at 10 o'clock this
morning to proceed with the award,
ing ofJfhe Okmulgee franchise. From
well informed sources it was learned
that this franchise will be placed in
the hands of e. r. Black who is here
representing the business men OF
Okmulgee.
Pres Letcher aSo declared this
morning that he believed the board
would recognize the priority right OF
the Western association to Muskogea
territory which also is claimed py
promoters of the proposed South
western League. Without Muskogee
it is considered improbable that the
Southwestern will be organized. Both
decisions are expected by noon to-

Grady county, represented by Will
liam Stacey, county attorney, has
been declared winner of a legal con
troversy carried into the supreme
court of the state and involving
more than $4,000 III taxes. The de-
cision in the case has just beer
handed down by the high tribunal OF
the state.
Farm products in the raw state
are not to be exempted from ad va
lorem tax in accordance with the act
of the legislature in 1916 making
such exemption, said decision in the
case which held the act nnconsti
tutional.
The case was appealed from the
district court OF Grady county il
which tribunal Judge viii Linn
held the act constitutional.
The controversy was started on
the question OF the assessments Of
the Chickasha Cotton Oil company.
This company fought tax payment
on raw material in storage.
Legislature Without Authority.
According to the opinion written
by Justice Higgins, the constitution
does not exempt raw products from
taxation and the legislature was
without authority in making such ex
emption.
The statute provides, it is pointed
out, that no farm products while re-
naming in the raw state, such as
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and the
like shall be subject to ad valorem
tax, but be subject to the income
tax laws of the state"
The statute is unconstitutional, ac-
cording to the opinion, for the
reason that the Legislature in exempt,
ing from ad valorem taxation, failed
to substitute another form of taxa
ton by which all the property ex.
empted would be taxed
