Since it became necessary to court
martial more than 100 national
guardsmen in Texas for failure to pre
sent themselves for enlistment when
President Wilson called their organi
zations into service, the federal War

of the president to call them out.
The inquiry established that in this
state privates in the guards practically

orders from the state, of which the

WANT OILJEES HELD UP
Companies Mandamus Treasurer to
Compel Him to Pay Into
Court.
AWAIT SETTLEMENT OF SUIT
Krnm ii Stuff Oorrnr"itd1iit )
Lincoln, Neb., May 29. (Special.)
Suit was started in the supreme court
this morning by Nebraska oil com
panies, who some weeks ago brotiRht
suit charging that oil inspection fees
were excessive, to compel State
Treasurer Hall to turn over $725,000
of accumulated fees from the oil in
spection department during 1(M.?-14
and 'IS, to the food commissioner
again.
The oil companies want this sur
plus to be used in the payment of op
erating expense's of the bureau now.
In the suit it started some weeks ago
the company asserted the fees were
excessive and secured an order from
the high court directing Mr. Harman
to turn over all his surplus fees to
the clerk of the supreme court, to be
held until the determination of the
suit.
If the old surplus can be used to
pay operating expenses there will be
more to turn into the clerk of the
court from present inspections, which
the nil companies will get back if
their suit is sustained in the high
court.
State Treasurer Hall had intended
to turn this $725,0(10 of surplus fees
into the general fund under a provi
sion in the general appropriation bill
of 1915 to meet running expenses of
the state.
It is the contention of the oil com
panies in the suit started today that
the law under which the food com
mission and its oil department oper
ates provides for the use of all fees
as a continuing fund.
The court issued an order directing
Mr. Hall to appear Saturday at 9
a. in., to show cause why the man
damus should not be issued.

internal revenue ta roll for the fiscal
year ending June .10 next, according
to a statement issued today by Secre
tary McAdoo. This sum which Mc
Adoo says exreeil by many millions
all previous estimates, will be made
up substantially as follows:
Taxes on whisky, beer, cigars, cig
arettes and tobacco. $.HM,(Xi),000.
Taxes on the incomes of individuals
and corporations. $1 15,000,000:
Emergency tax collections, $8.,000,-
000.
The volume of money pouring into'
the treasury has steadily increased
month by month since last fall until
now it is greater than at any time
since the effects of the war began
to lie felt. Mr, McAdoo accounts for
the situation as follows:
"The great boom m business is
largely responsible for the increase
in receipts from or.'inary revenue.
The prosperity of the country, with
the attendant wider scope of employ
ment and increase in wages has in
itself resulted in a larger consump
tion of taxable articles, greatly aug
menting the government's revenue."
Consumption of whisky, cigars,
cigarettes and tobacco has increased
according to revenues received, while
consumption of beer lias decreased
during the fiscal year. For the first
ten mouths of the fiscal year, re
ceipts of taxes on cigars, cigarettes
and tobacco increased over the cor
respondini period a year ago, due in
large part, the statement says, to the
great improvement in business condi
tions. ADVERTISING MAN SAYS
