An unhappy accident resulting
from the rush in which the legisla-
tive assembly of last winter did its
work is the omission, by clerical
error, of any authority to levy a tax
for school purposes. Perhaps the
best course to pursue under the cir
cumstances will be for the county
commissioners in the several coun-
ties to make the levy under the
authority that vas intended to be
conferred 1t is scarcely conceiv-
able that any one would take advan-
tage of the defect to resist the col
lection of the tax in the courts and
thus cripple the public schools Of the
state.
Attorney Bennett of Neihart has
called our attention to an apparent
omission from the official edition of
the political code, by which four
interesting chapters have failed to
appear. Up to date nothing has
been heard of them. Reading sec
ton 4S7l, referring to the collection
Of taxes, it provides that a city treas
urer "may do everything that coun-
ty treasurer mightdo in the premises
as provided in chapter VII, title TX
part Ill, of the political code. Turn
ing to page 4SO, to note the above
reference, it will be found that chap
ters ", V, VI. and VII, of title *
part III, sections 3655-3669 inclus
i've, have been dropped. And the
Legislature has actually adjourned!
Dealers in cigarettes and cigar
cite paper or material must pay Ii
cense of ten dollars month in addi
ton to any other license paid by
them. A number of persons seem
to be under the impression that
dealers and others are only prohib-
tied from selling or giving away
cigarettes to minors under eighteen
but this is not the case, as the law
also prohibits the sale of tobacco as
well. The law on the subject issec-
ton 542 Of the Penal code and reads
as follows:
Every person who sells or gives
any tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, OF
cigarette paper to any minor under
eighteen years Of age, is guilty of q
misdemeanor, and upon CONJUNCTION
thereof shall be punished by fine
of not less than twenty-five dollars
nor more than fve-hundred dollars
or imprisonment not to exceed three
months in the county Jail, or both
such fine and Imprisonment in the
discretion of the court.
Section 1865 of the political code
says: Gail butchers must keep a
record of the marks and brands o.
the cattle slaughtered by them in {
book subject at all times to the in
spection of the public, in whicl
must be recorded the name Of the
person from whom any cattle were
bought, together with his residence
and the date of purchase and delivery
and on or before the first day o.
each month must make two copie:
of each record and make affidavit tc
the correctness of the same; one mus
be filed in the office of the count,
clerk and the other in the Office O
the nearest justice Of the peace.
1t is required by the new codes
that every partnership under fic
ticious name, or with name no
showing the names of the persons
interested as partners in the business
must file a certificate signed and ac
knowledged by the partners, Show
