TAXPAYERS WIN

A decision in favor of certain But

validity of the three mill school tax
in District three, Butler county, was
handed down by the supreme court
today in the case of w. H. Shanks,
Jr., ct al. VS.. c. +. Winkler, ct al. ap-
pealed from the Butler circuit. The
case was decided against the protest.
ing taxpayers in the lower court,
but the supreme court reversed and
remanded the case on the ground
that proper notice of the election
was not given. ,...
An interesting point decided in the
case was the right of the county au-
thorities to modify the boundaries of
school tax district, the court hold
ing that they have this power. 1t
was alleged that the. three-mill school
tax was defeated in the district re
ferred to when the election was first
held in the summer of 1922, and that
second election was called after
the boundaries of the district had
been altered to exclude number of
voters who voted against the tax.
The supreme court held that the
counties have the right to modify the
district boundaries, but reversed the
case due to lack of proper notice of
the election having been given.

cording to decision handed down
Thursday by the supreme court in
the case of Robert l.. Brooks ct al.
VS.. the state, ex rel. B. Deg Waddell
as deputy solicitor. appealed from
the Russell circuit court.
The case was one of the injunction
proceedings brought at Girard

X. McAdory of the state law enforce
ment department to abate a liquor
nuisance. An injunction was granted
in the Russell circuit court which
gave the sheriff of the county ex-
elusive possession of the premises

In it's decision the supreme court
pointed out that the statute does not
give the courts the right to prohibit
the legitimate use of property, though
they may perpetually enjoin the use
of property for violations of the pro-
hibition law. The power of the
court under the statute does not eX
tend to the temporary or permanent
confiscation of real property, the
mere use of which creates or con-
tributes to the offense against which
the statute is leveled." the supreme
court held.

to such a step.
The=c chief reason for the present in.
crease is to bring the official rate more
in line with the United States, where
money for some time has ruled only
one and one-half per cent above Lon
dons. This has induced. American
traders to borrow funds In Lombard
Street. assisting In the depression OF
American exchange, which Is down to

action after consultation with the fed
eral reserve, thus merely continuing

The advance had been discounted In
