Appeal has been filed in the supreme court from 'a decision by .Judge .Brown in the ' district court in Dewey ounty in a j mandamus proceedings by owners of 'the $:il,0v.00i mortgage bonds I against the Orient railway involving the validity of the Oklahoma 'mort gage tav law. The .ease arose over a demand made uiion the Trustees t'xecutors and inpuraroe securities corjwration and the Columbia-Knickerbocker Trust Company of New York by the register of deeds of Dew ey county for the payment of the state tax of oOc on the $100 before he could rord the niortzapre for J'lli.Oo'j.OOO. .Manda-mus was asked in the district courr and upon an an swer pleading the law the corpora tions named demurred. Tim cour overruling the demurrer, this appeal was taken. It is contended by the mortgagees that the mortgage tax law is invalid because It was not passed in the manner that revenue measures miust be passed under the constitution that it violates the constitution in other technical ways and that it is unconstitutional in that it exempts mortgages and deeds of trust from domestic railway corporations. The Mortgage Tax Act was .passed by the H913 legislature. It has not heretofore been tested in the higher (courts, i (life .'provHslons jeHjuire flhat no morfuge ' subject, to such tax shall first have 'been 'paid. The law provides for assessing the tax only( that nortion of the property 'mort gaged which is within this state. Even at that rate the tax that would have o ibe paid on this $31,000 000 would be very heavy. GIAN RELIEF FUND Has just been bought by the Belgian Relief Committee for rush transportation on Steamers Agamemnon and Niches.

YOUR cash co-oj)eratioii is needed at once; your little or your large contribution now. ' The appalling conditions in Belgium are becoming more widespread and intense. There must be immediate alleviation of the increasingly acute physical and mental suffering of these poor, homeless peo ple unless we are prepared to contemplate a frightful toll in death and disease. More than 12,000 have given to this Fund. Their aid, often involving much self-sacrifice, is saving lives in little Belgium. But .. ,:.( ' . - Hundreds of thousands, up Into the' millinos, out there face,: starvation, now, as you read this. The plain fact is that, unless another 12,000 give now and another and another until all have given who can give an appalling number will perish. "Rich and poor, the prosperous, and the beggars of yes terday, have become castaways, wanderers on the face of the earth. We must all work to spare the women and children the supreme horror of a northern winter, to Wj endured in hunger. nakedness, homelessness. More than 12,000 have given.
