Ike to considerable Importance. says
the News. Already there has been mar
keted at this point this fall some eighty
thousand bushels. with not less than
twenty thousand bushels yet to be de-
livered. The average price paid at
Troy during the season has been SIS
cents and the local dealers have fur
nished their customers with sacks at
from s to 1-2 cents. This is a very
healthy increase and one that shows
a very desirable condition. The fair
and courteous treatment accorded those
who have marketed their crop here has
resulted in bringing considerable wheat
from the Kendrick and Moscow terri
tory. and will result in a larger grain
business at Troy next year.

many other ways the interests Of the

forty in area, New Jersey has,
according to Mr.. Meeker, twice as

In the Union. That is something for
which the state may well be proud.

SUPREME COURT
Settles Tax Case-Counties Must Pay
the Taxes

Boise. Nov 1.-The supreme court
today decided that the state tax levy
certified to the various counties is con-
stitutional. This point was raised by
the authorities of Shoshone I.atah and
Nez Perez counties. They claimed that
the levy exceeded the five mills on
the dollar authorized by the cnnstitu
ton to be raised for state purposes.
The matter was brought into court in
the form of an action of the state
board against each of the three coun-
ties asking for a writ of mandate COM
polling each to exten dthe levy as Ger
tilted. The opinion rendered is in the
case against NeZ Perez county. being
made applicable to the other two The
state claimed that the amount levied
for state purposes did not exceed the
five mill limit the other amounts such
as those for meeting interest. etc, not
being included in the constitutional
limit It's claim was that the limit APP
piled only to taxation for the running
of the state government during the
period for which the tax was to lac
collected. Attention is called to the
fact that there is no limit to the state
Indebtedness that may be created rs
assessed valuation increases. as it may
always be up to 11.2 mills on the dol /
lar. Continuing the opinion SAYS:
"Therefore. if the total tax levy

maintaining the state government and
institutions. and for meeting the in
terest on The public indebtedness and
providing the sinking fund must fan
within the rate prescribed by section
.. article I, it would follow that the
time will probably come when it will
take the entire tax levy for state
purposes to pay the interest upon the
sinking fund, and that no revenue
whatever would be left for maintain
ing and operating the state govern
ment and public institutions. Such a
construction could certainly never
have entered the minds of the franz
ers of the constitution. 1t is clear to
us that for state purposes. mentioned

government which Is intended to be

ton II of the same article. If for

why use these words at all?"
1t Is further held that the county |
commissioners are obliged to make the
levy to IQudate the indebtedness Of
the county to the state, one mill of /
this levy having been for that puT-
pose. The court states that the board /
must make the levy If the, county owes
that much. but does not attempt to de- |

ORDER REVOKED.
Chief Mcbride issues order as 10 We

Early Friday morning, from the kind
ness Of his heart, Chief of Police L. l..
Mcbride issued an order to all owners
of horses that they must not pull vehic-
les through the streets while the mud
was frozen.
The object Of the order was to protect
the horses and other draught animals
from the suffering which the Chief be-
lieved would follow from their legs com
ing in contact with the frozen streets.
A little later, however, innumerable
owners reported the matter to Mayor
Yardaman, who lost no time in reyoking
the order and traffic was soon restored.
