THE TAX
DODGER
...
S SAFE
Guthrie Okla. Nov. 10. Holding In
effect that the act passed by the Sec-
ond Legislature repealing that part of
the "tax ferret" law which provided
for listing of property that had es-
caped taxation prior to statehood was
sufficient to cancer the contracts en-
tered Into by counties prior to the
passage of the act for the collection
of taxes under the original "tax ferret"
law the supreme court yesterday In an
opinion denied the writ of mandamus
applied for by Attorney General West
County Attorney E E. Reardon of Ok-
lahoma county and "Tax Ferret" Pit-
man of Oklahoma county . against
County Treasurer Charles McCaft'erty
of Oklahoma county to compel the
latter to list for taxation and cause tax
warrants to be issued against $10000-
000 worth of property in Oklahoma
county listed by the tax ferret tinder
a contract entered into by him with
the county commissioners.
This decision affects not Oklahoma
county but the entire state and Is a
decisive victory for those who had
fought the "tax ferret'' law from the
start. The decision absolutely pre-
vents any further collection of back
taxes listed upon property prior to
statehood regardless of whether such
urpand taxes were discovered and list-
ed prior to the passage of the repeal-
ing act of the legislature. It also
means that the "tax ferrets" must also
secure new contracts from the coun-
ties before they can proceed with the
collection of the unpaid taxes listed
since statehood.
City Attorney A. L. Herr returned
this afternoon from Purcell and Mid-
dlehurg where he went to look after
legal business.
