the action which went up from the
Eastern District of Kentucky, Judge
Cochran's Court, declared the Act Of
the last legislature in passing the
measure levying a special tax of SO
cents per gallon on all whiskey with
drawn from distilleries and bonded
warehouses, within the State, uncon-
stitutional. The Courts decision will
cause the loss to Kentucky highways

lucky Court of Appeals held the act
constitutional.
The U. s. Supreme Court has also
declared the Lever Food control act
unconstitutional, or a sufficiency
thereof to make prosecutions for
profiteering hereunder void. Hence
hundreds of actions heretofore insti-
tuted are to be abandoned, and pro-
badly thousands of dollars previously
paid in fines will necessarily be re-
funded.
