HARPER, Judge.
— In the opinion of our Presiding Judge will be found a full statement of the issues involved. We thoroughly concur in that portion of his opinion in which he holds that the ordinance, if in conflict with any law of the State, is invalid, and we also concur with him in the holding that it is the settled law of this State that an ordinance is invalid which provides a greater or less penalty than the State law for the same offense, although on this latter proposition some eminent authorities assert to the contrary, but as stated by him, it has become the settled law of this State…
