Supreme Court Decision In Case OF

The Supreme court delivered an im-

clerk vs. Joseph NJ. Jensen. appellant.
reversing the Judgment OF the trial

rectlons TO set aside Judgment and en-
ter 10 favor Of appellant.
This was an action brought by Cache
county agains, Jensen to recover the
sum OF $500 alleged 10 be due from APP
pellant under the provisions OF an ordi-
nance, passed by the board Of county
commissioners of Cache county, imp0s-
Ing license tax upon all persons, COM
panies or corporations engaged In the
business OF raising, grazing, herding or
pasturing sheep within the limits OF
Cache county. The defendant was own
er Of 1900 sheep, but was only taxed on
1900.
The case was tried before Judge Hart
laet May, the court holding that plain
TIL was enthlad 10 recover from the
defendant 500 and costs for pasturlng
sheep In Cache county. under the fourth
class as provided for In the ordinance.
Jensen prosecuted an appeal basing the
same on thirteen errors and attacking
the validity and constitutionallty Of the
ordinance. The latter proposition was
the only question considered by the
Supreme court, and In lengthy opinion
1t is held that neither the Constitution
nor the statute. under which toe law Is
framed, authorizes boards Of county
commissioners to enact ordinances, as In
this instance, TO tax citizens arbitrarily
and unjustlf by license which confers
no privilege that was not previously en-
Joyed, and which has no view to regula-
ton" The opinion further reads.
Under such a power as Is contended
for by counsel for the appellant, the
sheep Industry or one particular Indus
try, In some OF the counties OF this COM
monwealth, might be taxed for more
than the cost OF maintaining the gov
eminent, to the practical exemption of
all other kinds Of business from con-
trlbutlng their share OF the burden,
Private rights cannot thus be arbitrar-
ily invaded or annihilated, under the
mere guize Of license.
The opinion was written by Chief JUS
tce Bartch and concurred In by District
Judge W. NJ. McCarty.

TEACHERS WILL
DRAW SALARIES.
Supreme Court Decides Against
Board Of Education
OPINION By JUSTICE BASKIN
Court Holds That Contract between
Board and Wise Mckay IVES
uindin..

The teachers Of the Salt Lake CITY
schools won a signal victory over the
board Of education today, the Supreme
Court holding that they are entitled to
their salaries for the sixteen days they
did not teach school, during the period
Of the smallpox scare, The title OF the
case il Matte y. Mckay VS. Josiah
Barnett. as treasurer OF the board OF
education
In her affidavit for a writ Of mandate,
filed by permission in the Supreme
Court during the last term OF court,
plaintiff stated that she was teacher
In the public schools Of salt Lake Clty,
and that during an alleged epidemic OF
smallpox school was suspended Tor a
period OF sixteen days. The board OF
education issued a warrant TO plaintin
for the sixteen days but when the
same was presented TO Treasurer Bar
nett he refused payment, giving as
reason that Miss Mckay was not en-
titled 10 her salary for the time she
did not actually teach school.
The contract between the plaintiff and
the board OF education provided that
the former should receive $40 per month
OF four weeks of five days each, for the
time actually occupied In school, legal
holidays to'be counted as school days.
Another provision OF the agreement
stipulated that plaintiff might be dis
missed for certain reasons, all OF which
were specified, but. alas. smallpox was
not amongst them Another provision
Of the contract was that II the same
was not terminated for the reasons
specified. Il should remain In force from
January until June l. 1900.
The affidavit also set forth that the
school teacher was expected TO hold
herself In readiness at all times during
the "perllous' sixteen days, - plain
tin claimed that that was something
she did.
The defendant denied some Of the al
legations made by plaintiff In her aiii-
davlt and set up affirmative matter
but the main facts In the case were
undlsputed.
The court holds that where a contract
Is 20 do acts which can be performed,
nothing but the act OF God or Of a pub
lie enemy. or the Introduction Of the
law, as a direct and sole cause OF the
failure viii excuse he performance,
This principle, the court says, Is ele-
mentary. Says the court:
The schools were not closed for any
such cause By the board Of education.
While the closing Of the schools may
have been wise and prudent, the clos
ing was not due 10 any cause which
made II impossible for the school TO
keep open"
The writ OF mandate is ordered to is
sue. commanding Treasurer Barnett 10
pay plaintiff her salary.
The opinion was written by Justice
Baskin and concurred In by Chief Jus
tice Bartch, ~
Justice Miner concurs In the opinion
except ase to that part having refer
ence TO the power OF the board TO close
the schools during the smallpox cpl
demic As TO that part Justice Miner
withholds his assent.
SCHOOLS WILL CLOSE.
The effect Of today's decision will be
TO close the schools early in May, for
the reason that there are not sufficient
