COUNTY SCHOOL TAX.
Superintendent Van Colt IN The Pro-
posed Constitutional Amendment.

SALT LEKE CITY, Feb. II, 1897.
TO the Editor;
Yesterday the members OF the
House voted almost unanimously In
favor OF submitting to the people OF the
State an amendment to the Constitu.
ton ia relation to the school tax ques-
ton.
There are three kinds OF taxation for
the support OF schools, tho State school
tax which is three mills, the county
school tax which Is two mills In Salt
Lake county for the present year, and
the dlttrict tax tho maximum rate Of
which is twenty mills.
The recent decision OF the Supreme
court, based upon the word "main-
tanned" In the Constitution, has liber.
sted all cities OF the first and second
class from paying the county school
tax, thus leaving such cities but two
kinds OF taxes to pay for the support
o schools while other districts no mat
ter how ri0n must pay three kinds Of
taxes TO maintain the schools.
The city echool tax in Salt Lake
City corresponds to the district school
tax in scnOOi districts outsida the city
anu In Salt Lake county, anu 10 not 30
nigh as IL paid In many of eeid
c uutry uiatriola.
Take for example district No. 40,
Farmers ware, the district school tax
levied there is five mile, elx.tenthe Of
mill lower than ~ levied IN the city,
but temember that the two mill
cUunty scuool tax levied In district
No. 40, but not in Salt Lake CITY,
nAkes ita tax seve1 mills or one ana
fourteenth miiis greater than Is paid IN
the city. Yet Farmers ward Ia as many
times richer than the other Gisirlc.s in
Salt Il ke county, as Salt Lake City is
richer than The county outside the city.
IL pays as much in proportion TO ITS
value as GOES Salt Lake City to support
the schools OF the State, and hos al.
ways paid more iuto the State ech oil
| fund tnan II received back. ri 6

only for lie poor, but Ior the

would It not follow that the rich indi.

We do not ask OF these cities more
than we are willing to give, but we ill.,
slst that the burdens for ctrryipg the
Tres school system fall equally upon

ON COUNTY ATTORNEYS
Can They Practice in the District
Before Being admitted?
His oniciaI Duties Sufficient Author
iiy, says the ATTORNEY
General.

Attorney General Bishop sent re-
ply today to r. H. Mcbride OF Para
goonah in answer 10 the question,
Scan a county attorney perform the
duties OF his office in the district court
without first being admitted to prac-
tice?" The answer 10 that lie can In all
State matters but not In private cases.
The communication 10 as follows;
Answering your favor OF February
l4th, inquiring whether the county
attorney can perform the duties Of his
office in the district court without
FIRST being admitted to practice, per-
init me to call your attention to
chapter l, title 5, found on page 2l9
volume 9 OF the compiled laws OF
Utah, 1888, relating to the admission
of attorneys to practice in the courts OF
this State. Section 3,lO6 provites: I'll
any person shall practice law in any
court except a iustice's or probate
court, without having llcenee az
attorney and counselor, he Is guilty oil
a contempt OF court"
There are no provisions OF law pres
eribing what qualifications shall he
possessed by county attorneys, but I'M
der subdivision l OF section lis of
chapter l3l of the laws OF 1886
1t ID made his duty to attend the dis
trict court and conduct on behalf OF
the State all prosecutions Tor public
offenses.
Under this provision | am Of opin'
ion, that In go far as his official duties
arc concerned it ia "a sufficient authorl-
cation in law to permit him to practice
In the dietrict court, aud that provi-
sion would thereby nullify and repeal
the provisions of section 3llO6 supr0.
However 1t would not 50 operate to
permit him to practice in the district
court In matters OF business OF pri-
waite nature or those which could moi
We said 10 be duties required Of him In
IN official capacity.
l have the honor to be, very respect.
