The decision ends a long legal battle sparked by challenges to the tax’s validity and its classifications.

Judgment Against Haskell In $14,000 Suit Held
Judge Ralph Campbell instructed a Vinita federal court jury to return a verdict awarding Columbus Savings & Trust Company about $14,000 against former Governor Charles N. Haskell. The case arises from a note by Haskell and Mrs. Haskell on an investment in National Contracting company stock. Haskell argued the suit was a scheme to drain him and others, while plaintiffs argued his defense was inadmissible. The jury verdict followed evidence of an Ohio suit between Mrs. Haskell and the bank. The case will be appealed and court sessions resume in Muskogee next week.
