In history as having passed much con-

by alleged tax dodgers and trusts a1d
combines for thirty years, is unimpair

the public interest, making all inter-

laws, toe the mark by court decisions,
and will continue to collect by due
process of law all taxes which have
escaped by ccncealment or by dodg-
ing, into the state, county, levee board
and municipal treasures. That is to
say. 80 per cent of such taxes which
have escaped, and which would con-

revenue agent, to be divided between
that official and his attorneys, depu-

is Stokes v. Robertson who, after four
years Of service, was re-nominated in

STATE EVENTS

IMPORTANT GLEANINGS OF WEEK
As 1T OCCURRED OVER
THE STATE.
MERGER SUIT IS SETTLED
With Payment Of 10000 for Penalties

10 Settled,

Jackson.-Attorney General Robin.
son has announced a settlement OF the
l. c. and Y. & M. V. merger suit, by
the payment of penalties of 100000.
This suit was brought by the former
attorney general in 1918, and the trial
Of the case was suspended during the
war; by government order.
The state claimed that the cOnsoli-
dation of the Illinois Central and the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroads
was violative Of the antitrust statutes
of Mississippi.
The railroad companies contended
that there was no consolidation con-
trary to law, and that such merger as
may have taken place was strictly
within their legal rights.
The transportation act Of 1920, en-
acted by the federal congress, allows
the consolidation of railroad corpora
tions, under the supervision and au-
thorization of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, notwithstanding
any state antitrust statute to the con-
trary.
Inasmuch as the Interstate Com
merce Commission is contemplating
orders in respect to these two systems,
and as the attorney general was will
ing to meet federal officials in spirit
Of fairness, to accommodate the exist
ing legal complications, and to enable
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to deal with the matter without seem
ingly infringing upon the right OF the
state, the parties have agreed upon an
amicable adjustment of the entire It'll
cation.
