Legality Of Taxes. :


/ Much interest was takenain Fargo
in the decision of. theasupreme court
on the legality! of j taxes assessed
against; real estate where the name Of
the owner; was wrong. An owner of
some property refused to pay taxes
because it was not property assessed
in his name. Judge Pollock first
held that the tax was void, but aft
ter more mature consideration he re-
versed himself and held that the land
was subject to, taxes regardless of the.
name in which it was assessed. The
case was carried to the supreme
court and that body reversed for
mer decision of it's own and affirmed
Judge Pollock. Hereafter if the de-
scription of the land is correct taxes
are valid, regardless of the name of
the owner. ~ q

In many cases neither the merchants

goods knew that they would not
comply. with the requirements of the

one honorable course. to take. That
is to allow the sale OF, all, food prod

legitimately in trade in the state on
July 1. All goods shipped into the
