Attorney General Defines Law on the
Duties Of Officials.
In answer to a question recently sub
mitted to him by the state superintend-
ent of public instruction as to what
extent county superintendent may act
in enforcing the law pertaining to
school libraries, the attorney general
says: There seems to be 10 mention
Of the county superintendents in con
nection with school libraries. How
ever, under section 1888, political code,
the county superintendent is required
to carry into effect all instructions of
the state superintendent given within
his authority.''
Going further, the attorney general
says:
''We would take it therefore. that the
state superintendent would prescribe
rules and instructions for the proper
care and use of school libraries though
the county superintendent, whose duty
1t would be to carry them into effect"
The attorney general proceeds to
quote the code and holds that it consti.
tutes an appropriation to the library
fund of not less than five per cent. of
the county school fund apportionment,
except in cities of 1000 or more people,
where it is $50 for every so children or
fraction of 800 or more of school age.
This rule applies unless the distric,
school trustees exercise the option of
allowing not over ten per cent. of the
county apportionment for library pur
poses.

SCRIPT LANDS TAXABLE.
Attorney General Donovan Renders a,
Opinion on Timber Lands.

In answe~ to the request of County
Treasurer Hilburn in regard to taxa
tion on script land, Attorney General
Donovan has rendered the following
opinion in regard to the matter:
II will state generally, from what
limited examinations have been able
to make of the natter" says the attor-
ney general, ''that all script which is
located upon land, either surveyed or
unsurveyed, for which final receint
is issued at the local land office, be-
comes subject to taxation upon the is
suance of such receipt, the equitable
title passing to the locator at the time
such receipt is issued, and the courts
have always held that an equitable
title is liable to taxation. There are
other varieties Of script wherein the
equitable title does not pass until the
application is approved by the commits
sioner of the general land office. Sucf
land becomes taxable from date of such
approval.
"You can readily ascertain by in
quiry at the United Sta.es land offic.
at Kalispel! as to the status of the
script, regarding which you ask an
opinion. The fact that some of til.
lands are unsurveyed does not relieve
them from taxation in case the equita
BILE title has passed from the govern
nent to the locator and his interest
therein may be sold if he allows the
taxes to become delinQuent. "--Ex.
