Dow Law Clause 1 Declared Void in Ohio Court Ruling
A Common Pleas court ruling voids the Dow Law provision that makes unpaid Dow tax a lien on land. Judge Dickson grants an injunction to Anna M. Foley to stop County Treasurer Roth from collecting the balance from tenant Frances McMann, who leased Mrs. Foley's Smith Street flat and sold beer without paying the tax. The decision questions taxing the innocent landowner when covenants ban liquor sales and cites constitutional limits on criminalizing traffic in intoxicants. The ruling declares that the Dow tax on landowner property is unconstitutional and halts further collection actions.
