# 2 MILL EDUCATIONAL LEVY PASSED IN 1920 IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL; STATE TREASURER PAYS FARM HAIL LOSSES As the result of disclosures made in the examination off Sanders county books by a deputy state examiner A. E. Williamson showing that three commissioners charged the county $8 a day for their services as foremen of road construction assistant to surveyors on county roads and bosses of road grading crews, ouster proceedings have been filed at Thompson Falls. The commissioners are W. B. Russell and Hugh R. Stephens of Plains and F. E. Beers of Tuscor. In the opinion of the attorney general's office, as expressed to the supreme court, the measure which was voted by the people in 1920 to provide a mill and a half tax for operation of the University of Montana, is unconstitutional. In his argument contesting the application for an injunction against the state board of examiners the effect of which would be to place all proceeds of the levy at the disposal of the university, A. H. Angstman, assistant attorney general, raised several constitutional questions. He pointed out that upon the present valuation of Montana the constitution limits the levy to 2 mills. By an initiative act, the people attempted to make the levy 3 1-2 mills whereas, he insisted a question of constitutional amendment must originate in the legislature. An invitation to carry his case to the state supreme court seems to be contained in an award of the Montana industrial accident commission to Bob Dozen, miner, injured March 3, 1922, while in the employ of the East Butte Copper Mining company. Dozen is awarded total liability damages of $2,898, from which the company is allowed to deduct $2,898 heretofore paid, leaving a balance of $373. His original injury consisted of a fractured jaw, fracture and dislocation of the right ankle and fractured left ankle. The ankle injury left him with a shortened right leg and the dislocation did not come properly into place so that there has resulted an inflammation of the bone. The award suggests that he return to the company's hospital and submit to the amputation of the affected limb and to such other treatment as is necessary, at the company's expense. Forty-five thousand dollars surplus in the state hail insurance fund for 1925 is being used to pay warrants registered by the department in 1923. Warrants up to and including number 122,771, are being called by State Treasurer W. E. Harmon. According to certain sections of the federal statutes a vested interest in public lands to a right of way for an irrigating ditch is not secured until the ditch is completed, and thereby C. N. Mannis, in his suit against Powell county to restrain it from interfering with his ditch across a public highway, held no title to the ditch right of way. Persons contracting with a municipal corporation must at their peril inquire into the statutory power of the corporation or its officers to make the contact, maintains the supreme court in quoting a general and fundamental principle of law, in an opinion handed down in which it affirms the judgment of the district court of Lewis and Clark county by which the action of Galen D. Pue against the county of Lewis and Clark was nonsuited. All property owned by a person at the time of his death, including gifts, or transfers previously made by him but which are to become effective at the time of his death, is subject to taxation under the state inheritance tax law, according to an opinion of the supreme court handed down in the Silver Bow county appeal case of the executors of the will of Joseph E. Oppenheimer, deceased, against the state of Montana, the state board of equalization and the county of Silver Bow. Property of a stockholder in an insolvent bank is not subject to attachment at the time of the issuance of summons in an action for the enforcement of the stockholder's liability, according to an opinion of the supreme court handed down in the Rosebud county suit of the receiver of the Bank of Commerce of Forsyth, against Margaret Young. The fish and game fund showed a balance of $96,458.90 on Jan. 1, according to financial statement furnished Game Warden Robert H. Hill, by David Marks, the department's auditor. The biological fund of the same department contained $11,033.50 on the same date and this balance after the game commission paid $500 to the state bounty fund which it is required to do on each year under the provisions of a law passed by the last legislature. Increase in the number of cattle in Montana is reflected in a distribution table just completed by D. R. Cloan, chief clerk for the state board of equalization, covering state taxes assessed in 1925 to the 56 Montana counties. In 1924 the three-mill livestock head tax assessment amounted to $55,756. Last year the assessment reached $56,947, an increase of $1,191. Beaverhead county led with an assessment of $2,704 for this purpose, with Mineral county's contribution of $47 last on the list.
