AN ILLEGAL CHARGE.
South Dakota Counties Cannot Ex-

south Dakota Counties Cannot Ex-
act Interest for Handling School
Funds.
Land Commissioner Eastman has
called upon Attorney General Pyle for
an opinion as to the rights of counties
TO charge an additional per cent of in
tcrest for state school funds, TO v
the cost and trouble OF handling.
While the constitution fixes the rate
OF interest to be charged by the state
to the counties, a number of counties
have been adding from 1-2 TO ! per cent
additional in making the loans. The
| opinion is to the effect that the coun
ties have no legal right to exact this
additional sum, but must loan at the
rate fxed-6 per cent.
The attorney general further holds
that the action of the counties in
charging a greater sum han the legal
interest Toes not in any way affect the
validity OF the loans already made. and
that in the furture only 6 per cent can
be collected. regardless of the rate hay-
ing been made higher by the counties.
This is the same position taken by At
torney General Griggs several years
ago.
Under the provisions of the new
amendment to the constitution. the
land department will be in a position.
