TAXATION.
The maximum tax authorized by
the last territorial legislature for
territorial purposes was three mills
On the dollar.
1t will be seen, however, by ref
ercnce to the census returns that in
large number of counties the tax
levied for such purposes exceeds 3
mills on the dollar, being as high,
for instance, in Cavalier county rs
GA mills; Lake county, IA mills;
Charles Mix, 49, mills; Beadle, A 4
