" : , This seems a direct discr mina-
sion and should be declared il-
. . , " legal. 1 : : 1'hcSlt11C character of
; ' , case has been brought in Nema-
ha county by Hon Church Howe
, and is bring argued today. Cl
' Hca'vis is participating with the
, Nemaha county lawyers in the
, trial of this case. A petition in
' error will also be filed from the
) finding or the state board in order
that if the court should hold the
, ,
t act of the state board to be final
.
, . , . , .
against a collateral attack , such
, , as , the injunction cases filed here ,
the matter may be heard by the
supreme court on a review taken
! direct from the state board. The
.
petitions also contain an allega-
. . tion that the finding of the state
hoard in violation of the constitution ; , -
tution of the United States by depriving -
- - priving persons of their property
without due process of law. This
will enable the petitioners to
. ,
, take their cases to the United
States supreme court if desired.
_ \Ve have not heard further from
, Nemaha county as to the result
of the case argued there today.

have to go to a city for and pay
