The commissioners of Walsh county
at the regular meeting this month, by
resolution, instructed the states attorney
to apply to the district court for an order
restraining the county auditor from
making a levy Of one mill on the dollar

the Russian Cactus law passed with an
emergency clause last winter. The
ground upon which this action is taken
is that in the opinion of the board the
law is unconstitutional. This will bring

cation on the constitutionality of the
law. 1t will probably go to the supreme
court for final determination, and the
result will be OF equal interest to all the
counties in the state.
