"Your editorial entitled
Fine Words But False contain
SO many untrue implications

* Granting your claim that
the GOVERNMENT Of Japan is

JUICY PLUMS
IN JEOPARDY,
Legality OF The Office
OF County Oil In
spector Is Cues
toned BY Suit.

The richest office in Jefferson
county. that Of Oil Inspector. has
been placed in jeopardy by suit
filed in Federal Court attackgin the
constitutionality Of the act creating
the office Of county oil inspector
The suit was brought against John
T. King. County Attorney Of Trigg
county. and Denny ?. Smith. Com
monwealth's Attorney for the Third
judicial district. by the Evansville
Oil Company and seeks to enjoin the
officers from bringing more suits
against the oil company for shipping
OIL into the State without having II
inspected. The officers had brought
1903 suits against the company and
were preparing 500 more when
Judge Evans granted a temporary
injunction preventing such action.
II involves all oil inspectorships.
Three clauses in the Constitution
Of the United States are invoked by
the oil company and three Federal
judges will be required TO sit on the
ease. Judge Evans has set March
Il as the day for a hearing on the
question Of granting a permanent
injunction.
The petition charges that "the said
sst is not an act for the safety Of
the people Of the State Of kentucky.
but is in truth an dfact an act TO
raise revenue for the benefit Of the
oil inspectors Of the various coun-
ties Of the State"
The act provides for fee Of 10
cents a barrel for inspecting oil and
according to the petition the rev.
enue derived under such conditions
and retained by the inspectors Is as
high as $4,000 a year and greatly
exceeds the cost Of the inspection"
The office in jefferson county has
been estimated az yielding net about
$4,000 year The position is now
held by Roscoe Searcy, brother OF
Chesley Searcy.
