peared to bo much surprised and told the
sheriff that ho had not worked for Senter
for four years and had only once sen:
him during those four yenrs nnd that wns
one dny when ho (Trcase) was visiting In
Memphis; that ho had not spoken to Sen

"TAX I'lIltllU'l" 1,AW Uli:sTIO.Hl.
Mtntute U .Vol Itetronctl ve mill Suits
fuller It Will Full.
Another Judgo has ruled that tho Iowa
"tax ferret" law Is not retroactive, nnd that
tlicro cun bo no recovery for back taxes
under It. Judgo Ilnlloy of tho Palo Alto
district court hns handed down an opinion
holding tho portion of the law under which
It was sought to recover tnxes upon prop
erty which had been omitted from assess
ment prior to 1900 to bo Invalid. Ho holds
that Rectlon 1374 of tho code, which makes
provision for a demand nnd stilt by tho
county treasurer for bnck taxes, Is Inopera
tive nnd void, nnd that chnptcr GO of the
laws of tho Twenty-olghth general nesemhly
Is not retroactive. Tho effect of Judgo
Halley's ruling Is to prevent tho recovery
0f taxes upon property which lias been
omitted from nssesBment through nny cnuso
for any yonr or years prior to 1900.
This decision bus a direct bearing on tho
contrnet entered Into horo by tho super-
visors of Pottnwnttnmlo county with K. M.
Cunntngham of Indiana. Tho contrnet with
Cunningham wns entered Into In 1S99 nnd
gnve him nuthorlty to search for taxes then
due. If Judgo Hnlley's ruling should hold
It will nullify entirely Cunningham's con-
tract wllh tho board here.
Through a notlco sent to a certain tax
payer of this city hy Cunningham, It trans
pires that he is "fcrrotlng" out taxes for
tho Inst Ilvo yenrs. Tho taxpayer In ques
tion on receipt of tho "notlco" from
Cunningham plnced tho matter In tho hands
of his attorney, who called upon Cunning
ham nnd wns presented by him with n Hit
of properties nlleged to bo owned by the
attorney's client during tho last flvo years,
which It was clajmcd by tho tnx forret
had been omitted from assessment. Hy
whnt nuthorlty Cunningham Is making his
researches extend back flvo years Is not
known.
Tho attorney In question stnted yester
day thnt In nil probability tho mattor of
Cunningham's contract with tho Hoard of
Supervisors will bo tnken Into court In
tho near future. The proceedings would
bo In the form of a petition to enjoin
Cunningham.
County Auditor Innes In answer to In
quiries stated yesterday that up to dnto
Cunningham hnd llled no report with him
or tho county treasurer of property whloh
ho had found had been omitted from assess
ment nnd tnxatton, ns his contract requires
he should.

In support of Its motion tho motor com-
