STATE BOND LEVY ILLEGAL
ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDS
BOARD HAS NO AUTHORITY
TO PROVIDE FOR ONE.
Has Right to Call for Five Mill Levy
From Counties for State
Purposes.

This state cannot arrange to pay off its
bonded debt without robbing the gen.
eral fund, until after the next legis-
lation mas passed the necessary law
This developed at Olympia when AS
sistant Attorney General A. ]. Falk-
nor handed down an opinion on sew
eral questions put to him by the state
board of equalization.
There has been a disposition on the
part of members of the state board
this year to provide an interest and
bond fund toward cleaning up the
state bonds held by the permanent
school fund. AS it is, the interest on
these bonds has to be paid from the
general fund.
were searching for a law author
izing an interest and bond levy this
year. Only one law on the subject
was discovered. That provided for a
levy to pay off the old territorial bond
issue and carried a provision authoriz-
ing a levy annually in subsequent
years.
But the attorney general holds that
that law related solely to the terri
torial debt, which has all been paid,
and says positively that the state
board cannot make any provision for
interest Or to provide sinking fund
for payment Of the bonds.
Two other important questions as to
the powers and duties of the board of
equalization were covered by the same
opinion. 1t is held that the statute
providing for the levy for military
fund does not in itself make the levy.
but that the board must formally
make the levy and that the levy made
by the board shall be on valuations
fixed by the state board and not as
fixed by the county boards.
The third question was whether the
state board could call upon any coun-
ty for more state taxes than the per-
cent limit based On the county equali-
cation.
Mr.. Falknor says the 5-mill limit is
on values as fixed by the state board
If by reason of the state board having
raised the valuations of any county so
that the amount demanded of the
county exceeds the five-mill limit, the
county must nevertheless pay.

The total advance by the state board
on live stock, sewing machines, wag-
Ons, horses and pianos was $94S571
above the aggregate amount returned
by the county boards.
