from editors throughout the State! IL
is clause that proposes to imposs .
license tax on editors. A provision Of
that sort was written into the revenue
law passed about twenty years ago,
but it was declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court. After that de-

the tax. In revising the license bill
at this session the tax on editors was
again inserted. This was done, too, In
