DELINQUENT TAX LAW VALID.


Every Particular.
Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
OLYMPIA, Aug. 5.-The supreme court
has affirmed Judgment In the case OF the
state on the relation Of the American
Savings Union. respondent. VS.. the treas
urer Of King county. On June p. 1897, the
relator rendered TO the appellant the
amount of taxes due for 1886 on certain
property. together with Is per cent. inter
est thereon to the date when 1885 taxes
became delinquent, also the fee for GER
tificate. and asked for such certificate. in
accordance with the act of the legisla-
ture Of 1887. This the treasurer refused
10 issue. claiming that the act was uneon-
stitutionaf and even II valid did not ap-
ply TO the 1896 taxes.
The constitutional questions raised are:
/. That the part Of the act providing for
certificates is not sufficiently expressed
in the title; 2. That the provision for
redemption results In unequal taxation; 3.
That the creation of a lien as provided in
the act is in contradiction OF article l.
section g. state constitution.
All of these objections made to the act
are decided adversely to the appellant. as
is also the plea that the statute is retro
spective. and therefore void. and the court
holds that the act is applicable to the
taxes for 1896. because such taxes did not
become delinquent until after the passage
OF the act. The supreme court Is also
unable 10 see that the interest charged on
delinquent taxes is usurious. 1t was
further contended by appellant that is
suance OF certificates to counties and mu-
inequalities is impracticable because OF
the difficulty OF separating the different
taxes therein enumerated. but with this
contention the court refuses 20 coincide.
Closing. the court sees no merit in the
objection that the tax deed is made prinla
facie evidence of certain matters speci-
ned and that Judgment for a tax deed
shall be conclusive of validity in collater-
al proceedings. Other points involving
the policy Of the act the court will not
consider.
