Memorandum opinion by MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE.

This suit was commenced against E.B. Howard, auditor of the State of Oklahoma, and John S. Woofter, sheriff of Creek County in that State, to enjoin such officials from enforcing a tax levied under the law of Oklahoma on the ground of the repugnancy of such tax to the Constitution of the United States.
