Sheriff Must Collect.

to the attorney general, asking an
opinion on the disputed and important
question, 'Should the sheriffs of coun-
ties in this state rightfully collect the
licenses, as has been done heretofore9"
After due investigation the attorney
general formulated an opinion, which
he sent to Mr. Jones, and reads as fol
lows:
Your letter is received asking my
opinion as to whose official duty it is to
collect state and county licenses, and
especially the licenses provided for by
section 1914, Revised Statutes. From
an examination of the chapter on
licenses in the Revised Statutes, it is
found that in all of the sections of
said chapter, towit: Sections 1880 to
l642 inclusive, the word tax collector
is invariably used when referring to the
person whose duty it is to collect such
licenses. But in chapter Nv, title I of
the Revised Statutes, which relates to
salaries and fees of county officers. we
find the following in snb division @ sec
tion 2157: The sheriff shall receive six
Coy per centum for collecting county and
territorial licenses, and he shall collect
such licenses We thus find there an
apparent conflict in the Revised Stat
utes in regard to the officer whose duty
it,shall be to collect these licenses.
The supreme court of this state
has decided that all sections of the
REVISED Statutes became effective at
the same time; and, further, that where
there is an apparent conflict between
different sections, such a construction
must be given, if possible, as will per-
NIT both sections to remain in effect
jolly vs.. Latah county, 48 Pac. 1863
Fremont county VS.. Brandon, IS Par.
264.
THE construction that it is the duty
of the tax collector to collect these Ill
censes would nullifv the provisions of
subdivision 2 of section 2167 above
quoted. Hence. following the rule of
construction laid down hv the supreme
court that each section if possible, must
be made effective, it would seem that
the legislature, when it used the word
FAX collector in the sections of the
Revised Statutes providing for IL
cense, meant TO designate any official
who collected such licenses asa fax or
license collector and did not intend to
name any particular officer whose duty
it should be to collect such licenses. but
that such officer was designated in
section 1857 of the Revised Statutes.
The sections of the Revised Statutes
fixing the fees for county officers have
since been repealed. bnt have beeu
unable to find any subsequent legisla-
ton, which, i'll my opinion. repeats
that part Of subdivision 2, section 2l57 |
which provides that the sheriff shall
collect county aud Territorial state
licenses
For this reason it is my opinion that
the sheriff in each county is the proper
officer to make demand for and 10
collect the licenses provided for in
section 1914, Revised Statutes Re-
spectfully submitted.

WILLIAM AND MARY.

William gazed on Mary Jane;
Longed to tell her that her eyes
Shone like sunlit drops Of rain
Failing from enchanted skies.
But poor William. scant of nerve.
Sought in vain these things to say:
Merely managed to observe:
ut is rather warm to-day"
Mary Jane will ne'er suspect
What wealth of sentiment
Flourishing, despite neglect,
In that trite remark was pent.
Vows as te,dfast as the pole,
Though as tender as the May,
He is utterinS from his soul,
When he says ITS warm to-day"
William tries and tries again;
Batlled in his eloquence;
Weary quite is Mary Jane
OF ridiculous suspense.
But each time, Just as OF yore,
All his wits grow dark and dim.
William feels that he's a bore;
Mary quite agrees with him.

Proverbs
When the butter won't

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn,N is an oid time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
