Mi' en si- Fund for School.
Stato Superintendent Fowler today ruled
that school districts nro entitled to nil
llcenso money collected from saloons situ
ated within tho limits of their Jurisdiction.
This decision was mado in response to nn
Inquiry from Stanley Larson of Sallno
county, who asked whether tho school dis
trict of his county was entitled to moro
than tho $500 license fco. In Sallno county
the liquor license fee Is J500 and the oc
cupation tux $500. Mr. Larscn wanted to
know whether tho school district was en
titled to the money derived from the occu
pation tax. Tho ruling of the superin
tendent follows:
Copy of the It til In if-
Yours nt the 7th Inst, came duly to
hand. You will please pardon our ilelny
In answering the same, for It Involves
a question of far-reaching importance, and
It has been our effort to render a de
cision that will stand the test of tho
courts.
You say that the ordinance of your vil
lage calls for J500 license fee nnd S0O oc
cupation tnx for the privilege of conduct
ing a saloon In your vlUiiKe: that tho 15U0
license fee goes to your school district and
the $500 occupation tax to the village.
I'pon these statements, you ask, "Will you
bo so kind as to inform us If we nro en
titled to moro than tho $500 llcenso fee?"
We base our ruling on section 5, artlclo
vltt of the constitution of Nebrnska, and
three supremo court decisions. These ref
erences nro as follows:
Section 6, article vlli of tho constitution:
"All lines, penalties nnd license moneys
arising under the general taws of the stnte
shall bilong and bo paid over to the coun
ties respectively where the same mny bo
levied o.- Imposed, nnd all linos, penalties
and llcenso moneys arising under the rules.
uyinws or ordinances or ciiich, villages
towns, precincts, or other municipal sub
division less than n county, shall belong
and be paid over to tho same respectively.
All such tine, penalties nnd llcenso mon
eys shall be appropriated exclusively to the
use nnd support of the common schools
In tho respective subdivisions where the
same mny accrue."
Supreme Court Decision..
Stnto ngnlnst Wilcox, 17 Neb., 219: "Li
cense money belongs to the school fund.
The city of W. required nn apptlcnnt for
llcenso to sell Intoxicating liquors to pay
to the city treasurer $1,000, one-half of
which sum to bo paid to the school dis
trict In which W. Is situated, and tho
other to be retained by tho city nn an oc
cupation tax on saloon keepers, Held
that as the entire sum of ?1,000 was re
qulrad to be paid as a condition of obtain
ing a license, It was llcenso money nnd
not a tax, and under the provisions of sec
tion 5. article vtll of tho constitution, be
longed to the school district." Justice Max
well, speaking of this case, rays: "Tho
question presented Is the effort to divert
one-half of tho money received Into tho
city trensury. It will bo observed that
the entire sum of $1,000 Is required to bo
paid by tho applicant for llcenso to en
able him to obtain the nmc. No part of
this sum Is obtained as a tax, but as a
condition of obtaining license. The Jl.OOu
Is paid as a whole for tho license, not a
part for license ami u part ns tax, be
cause without the payment of tho entire
sum the license would not be issued. We
must hold, therefore, that tho money In
question Is derived from license and not
ns tax. and under the provisions of sec
tion 5. article vlll of the constitution, be
longs to the school district nnd not to the
city,"
Outhrle ngalnst State, 47 Ncb 81D: "Mon
eys nrlslng from a llcenso granted by a
village for the nle of intoxicating liquors
belongs to the school district In which such
village Is located, and must bo applied to
tho support of tho common schools In
said district."
State ngnlnst Aitkin (School District, City
of Lincoln, agnlnst Aitkin, city treasurer),
supreme court of Nebrnska, March 6, 1001,
23 Northwestern Reporter, 395: "(1) Tho
payment of an occupation tax cannot be
mndo a condition precedent to obtaining a
license to conduct the business sought to
be taxed; (2) where a tax Is collected or
paid as u condition of obtaining a license
It Is llcenso monoy, nnd not a tax, under
tho provisions of section 6, nrtlcle vlll of
tho constitution."
Ilnala of Decision,
In this last case wo consider It necessary
to give tho wording of the ordinance of
tho city on which this decision was made.
By section 1 of said ordinance It Is pro
vlded: "It shnll bo unlawful for any per
son or persons or associations to exercise,
engage In or conduct any of tho following
occupations In the city of Lincoln with
out first having paid the occupation tax
hereinafter provided and the license feo
therefor; It Is hereby expressly provided,
however, that the granting of tho license
provided In this ordinance Is not condi
tioned upon tho prepayment of the occupa
tion tax herein provided, nnd it Is expressly
provided that the occupation tax may be
paid and the receipt given therefor with
out tho payment of tho license fee, and tho
llconse fee may bo paid and tho llcenso
Issued without tho payment of tho occu
pation tax " Justice Holcomb, In expound
ing this case, says: "From nn examina
tion of the entire ordinance and tho con
sideration of Its scopo nnd character, legal
effect and tho results accomplished thereby
wo must only regard tho amendment placed
on tho original section as tlui mere Ipse
dixit of the city council, In nn attempt,
under the guise of collecting nn occupa.
Hon tax, In truth and In elfect, to Invoku
tho power of tho law for licensing different
trades, occupations nnd business, and coj.
lectlng n license fee therefor. Tho fnct that
it Is stated that ono sum is n llcento feo
and tho other an occupation tux, and that
each is Independent of the other, does not,
we think, have the effect that n literal
application of the language used would
produce, In view of the entire ordinance
and the method of collecting theso dis
puted funds, It appears qulto clear that
they are Interdependent and Inseparably
connected. To obtain a llrense under tho
ordinance the occupation tax Is required
to be paid; and to obtnln a receipt for the
occupation tnx the license fee must also
be forthcoming. This is the spirit and cs.
senco of the er.tlre ordinance, ns we con
strue It. It Is qulto evident, from
a OerUEQl Of thn nrrlln.nr. In Its ntlrli
that while there Is an attempt to give It
a d",ial character one providing for li
censing the business mentlonco nnd the
other for tin levy nnd collection nf an oc
cupation tax -the right to engngo In tho
business nnd obtnln a license therefor Is
dependent not only on the pnyment of tho
license feo, but the occupation tax ns well.
By the stipulation of tho parlies as to the.
facts In thn case it Is agreed that the city
treasurer collected both amounts denom
inated 'occupation tax nnd license fee' nt
the same time. Tho only rational conclu
sion to be drawn Is that tho payments wero
made because of the provisions of the or
dinance requiring the party engnglng In
the business tuxed to obtain a llcenso
therefor before engaging In tho business.
This makes the payments, whatever they
nro called, essential, nnd In fnct license
money, to be disposed of In tho manner
provided by the constitution."
I3 avion liiipnnnlhle
If It were possible to evade the constitu
tional provisions on the question of linos
nnd licenses by an ndroltly drnwn ordi
nance, that possibility would have been
renched under the clover wording of tho
ordlnnnce of the city of Lincoln. But In
the light of these three supreme court
decisions, bused on section 5, uttlcle vlll
of tho constitution, such an evasion Is nn
Impossibility.
Therefore. It Is the ruling of this depart
ment ihrtt the school district of Tobias
Is entitled to the $500 license fee nnd tho
$.)(0 occupation tnx, ns collected under tho
ordinance of snld village, for the privilege
of conducting n saloon In said vlllugo.

That It the way Mrs. Elliott's life was saved when she suffered miscarriage and
her strength was ebbing aw&y on account of the terrible flooding which followed.
The Wine brought her speedy relief and eventually restored her to perfect health. And now she can
do all her own work. The doctors could not help Mrs. Elliott. They suggested "operation". Wine
of Cardui has completely cured nine out of every ten cases of female troubles arising from disordered
menstruation or from the accidents of pregnancy or childbirth. It fits a woman for every duty of life.
No suffering woman should give up hope until she has given Wine of Cardul a trial. All druggists
sell $1.00 bottles.

Gratitude &.id Sympathy
lophn, M March 25, 1900.
It It with gratitude to yea and sympathy for suffering women that i write thlt. I
miscarried September 15th, and Hooding followed. Three doctors attended me but did me
no good. I had almost given up hope ol recovering, when on December 12th, my husband
brought home a Ladies' Birthday Almanac, In which I saw a testimonial from a lady afflicted
like myself. I Immediately got a bottle of Wine of Cardul and commenced taking It. From
the first dose it seemed to help me. When I began I could not sit up. Some times I could
not raise my head to take drink without help. The doctors said I would heve to undergo
an operation as soon as I had strength to stand it. Thanks to Wine of Cardul, I am well
without an operation and weigh 123 pounds, which Is more than I ever weighed before. I
have done all my own work since January 15th. Mrs. T. II. ELLIOTT.
Hundreds of women are slipping into untimely graves who would be well
