Tax Suit OF Sawyer vs.. Dooley. Treas
urer. Decided. :

Tax Suit OF Sawyer vs.. Dooley, Treas
urer. Decided. :
The suit brought by Geo. s. Sawyer
against W. ]. Dooley. County Treasurer,
in December. 1891, to restrain the Treas
urer from selling certain property adver-
tised for sale to satisfy delinquent taxes,
and TO test the constitutionality of the
law authorizing such procedure, has been
decided in the Supreme Court. The de.
cision Of the District Court here, from
which the appeal was taken. is sustained
in every respect save that the Treasurer
is not to have personal judgment against
the plaintiff for the amount OF taxes in
volved. but the Judgment is to be a.nsud.
ed so that the sale may be made, If nee
esaary to make thstax due.
The decision holds: That County
Treasurers have the right to arbitrarily
sell property when the taxes due amount
to less than $500, without the formality
OF suit, and that doing so Is not depriv-
ing citizen OF mis- property without due
process Of law.
The law creating the State Board Of
Assessors and Equalization is held to be
constitutional. The fact that law may
be unjust or oppressive, or impolitic, or
conflict with spirit supposed to pervade
the constitution, does not warrant the
Supreme Court in declaring it unconstitu.
tional.
The interest which conferred in this
part Of the case is removed now, how
ever, since the State Board of Assessors
and Equalization law was repealed by
the recent Legislature. Tax sales, how
ever, where the amount due is less than
$500, will continue to be made without
special suit brought. as has been the
practice for the past seven years.

Webster's Unabridged Dictionary.
