OF STATE REVENUES Reversed Opinion 0 Orders $514, 000 So-Called ‘ ‘Extraordi- nary’’ Taxes to be Apportioned. Jefferson City, Mo.—An opinion by Attorney General John T. Barker, transmitted to- day to State Auditor John P. Gordon, holds that the public schools. of Missouri are entitled to one-third of all the revenues that went into the State Treas- ury for the year ended June 30, 1915, and that the Auditor should - at once make the appor- say ogee on that basis. he ruling. supersedes the pre- oe opinions of the Attorney | ¢ General that the beer, grain, oil and other inapection taxes of 8 special character are “‘extraordi- nary’’ receipts and pot subject to the apportionment. The Attérney General says that it is a very close question as to whether the schools are entit- led to a third of this class of rev-|- enue but that-it will be well to let the Legislature in the fature de- termine the classification.
