Biose - The Supreme court has de-
cided that the state levy, as certified to
the various counties, is constitutional +.
The point was raised by the authori-
ties Of Shoshone, Latah and Nez Perces
counties. They alleged the levy ex-
ceeded the mills on the dollar au-
thorized by the constitution TO be
raised for Estate purposes" The three
counties declined to extend the full
amount of the levy on their tax rolls,
and thus raised very serious question.
The matter was brought into court in
the form Of an action by the state
board against each OF the three coun-
ties, asking for writ OF mandate COM
polling each to extend the levy as GER
tilted. The opinion rendered in the
case against Nez Perez county was
made applicable to the other two.
