Charles Deng et al. v. The Board of County Commissioners of the County of Scott et al.
    
    No. 15,802.
    (95 Pac. 592.)
    Error from Scott district court; Charles E. Lob-dell, judge.
    Opinion filed April 11, 1908.
    Reversed.
    
      D. A. Banta, and William Osmond, for plaintiffs in error.
    
      J. S. Simmons, for defendants in error.
   Per Curiam,:

This case involves the constitutionality of chapter 368 of the Laws of 1907, entitled “An act providing for a special tax levy for the construction and equipment of a county high-school building for Scott county, Kansas.” The act is special, and under the authority of the case of Anderson v. Cloud County, ante, p. 721, is held'to-be repugnant to the provisions of section 17 of article 2 of the constitution (Laws 1905, ch. 543), and therefore void, for the reason that a general law could plainly be made applicable.

The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded for further proceedings.
