Robert Bracken, according to redords of the auditor's office. The measure which imposed a twocent levy on each gallon ot gasoline sold has been declared unconstitutional by the St. Joseph Superior court and tin appeal to the supreme court is hanging fire. The case might be decided within the next two weeks, if a petition is made the court to have the ease placed on its advance docket. A question has been raised as to how the state would reimburse the tax collected if the measure Is found faulty by the high court Decision on the case would probably come, before adjournment of th<> present term of court July 3 if either party in the suit which is de elding the status of the law would petition the courts to have the case plated on the advanced docket. The case is the appeal pf Bruce Cafill vs. Robert Bracken, state auditor. Attorney General U. S. Lesh represents Bracken Ln the action. Rules of the court give precedence to tiny civil cases which involve questions of the constitutionality of any law, public revenue, public h“alth, or the settlement of trusts, or which the court may deem of gen,eral public concern. If not placed on the advance docket and permitted to stay on the docket until next term the decision on the law will not be forthcoming until late this year as the supreme court will not reconvene in October. The law became effective June 1. 1923 and since this time a gross sum of approximately $4,555,000.00 has been collected under Its provision. Since the law became effective, the auditor has returned some of the money to consumeia who use gasoline in tractors and for other purposes. He took this step upon an opinion Tit the attorney general that the.law was unconstitutional in having gasoline used for other purposes than for motor vehicles on the high- ! ways. oAnother Dead Man Is Very Much Alive (United ITess Service!
