Opinion by Justice Anderson Says No Evidence Was 0f- fered to Show Owner
 Knew of Still
By TIRED H. GoRMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The AEe-Herald HaI-s First National Bank Building

MontSomery, June s.--(Speciai)--- The four-etory business building at 2z27 Second avenue in the business ccntew of Birmingham occupied by the coIias Confectionery company cannot be confiscated by the state and sold because a whisky -manufac- turing plant was found in 1t under a decision of the supreme court Thursday which affirmed the decis- ion of Judge Hugh A. Locke of the Jefferson circuit court
 When the lower court held that Mrs Penelope Jebeles, owner of the building. had not received actual or constructive notice that her property was being used for the manufacture of Hquor in violation of the bono dry law of 1919, the state appealed to the supreme court. In an opinion written by Mir. Chief Justice Ander- son, the supreme court sustained the decision and pointed out that no evidence was offered to show that the owner had received actual or constructive notice of the illegal use of the property and that there could be DO condemnation in the absence of evidence to that effect.
 This case has been one of the most interesting brought under the condemnation sections of the bone dry law. In the heart of Birming- ham a. large still was removed from the basement of the building. The state immediately started condemna- ton proceedings. contending that the owner of the property had sufficient notice or tho means of obtainiing notice that her property was being used for purpose which was & vii olation Of the laws.
 In another case tho supreme court wrote the final words which will send W. C. Shirley, former agent of the license inspector of Jefferson county. to the penitentiary for lar- ceny and embezzlement of funds com ing into his possession by virtue of his employment. Shirley's conviction was affirmed by the court of ap- peais and his application for re- hearing was dismissed because his attorneys did not comply with a rule which requires the submission of their brief and argument to coun- Sel for the state His attorneys then asked the supreme court for writ of certiorari which would cause q review of the decision of the court of appeals The supreme court de- clinad to review the case on the syruuuu mat Shirley had not com piled with the rules Shirley was employed as chauffeur license col lector by the license inspector of Jefferson county.

ATTACK VALIDITY
 OF REVENUE ACT
Claim Sections Creating 0f- flee of County Tax Adiuster
 Violate Constitution
By FIRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age-HeraJd 24f-2 FYrst National Bank Building

Montgomery. June 9.-(Special)- Validity of the sections of the gen eral revenue act of 1919. creating the office of county tax adJuster for all counties except Jefferson and the board of tax adjusters for Jefferson was attacked in the supreme court Thursday, when the case of Bessie c Minge versus George M. smith, tax collector for Marengo county, was submitted.
 Attorneys for Mrs. Minge contend that the sections violate the consti- tutiens of the United States and the state of Alabama. One argument was that certain sections provide for the compensation of tax adjusters in a manner which permits an increase in salaries during their terms and that this is a violation of the constitution The brief sets forth the fact that compensation is based on tax assess ments, and that in Marengo county tn. tax adjuster received $1,SO0 last year, and is being paid $2.100 this year lut CouoliIoeAcA seAy ShAO N>@ como of an officer shall not be in- creased during his term.
 Another argument was that per sons are deprived of their property without notice. It was argued that sections of the revenue act require tax adjusters to give notice of pro- posed increases. but that another section provides that any acts of the tax adjuster shall not be invalid be- cause he did not comply with the ex- press provisions of the law, it being contended that the second provision nullified the purpose of the first.
 Still third argument is that the revenue act violates the constitution because 1t provides for tax of more than sixty-five one hundredths of l per cent. It is contended that as the law provides that assessments shall stand for two years, and that prop erty may decrease greatly between the two years, the tax for the second year of the valuation made the first year will be greater than the amount permitted by the constitution.
 J. H. Bankhead of Jasper and George Pegram of Faunsdale pre- pared the brief in support of the ap- peal The Marengo circuit court sus- tained demurrers of the state, and Mrs Minge appealed. She asked for an injunction preventing the tax col
