authoritative decision may be had upon
this matter. "A decision similar to that
o. the Thurston county court had pre-
viously been made by a superior court
in eastern Washington, from which,
however, TO appear was prosecuted.
The act OF 1905 was passed by the
legislature after the supreme court of
the state had decided that the existing
law allowing cities of the third and
fourth classes to collect poll tax was
unconstitutional. The law which was
held void empowered cities of these
classes to levy poll taxes upon all male
inhabitants between the ages Of p and
so years; with proyso that members
of volunteer fire departments be ex.
empt from such taxation.
In the case Of the State versus Ide,
reported in 80 Washington, the su.
preme court, but divided vote Of three
to two, held that this provision of law
was repugnant to the constitution, be-
cause the tax was not uniform upon all
persons, as the constitution requires.
The court said in that case: The
classification made in imposing this
tax is based solely upon age and sex.
1t has no relation to the property OF
the persons to be taxed or to their
ability to pay. The persons selected
to bear the burden are under no great
err obligation to pay for keeping the
streets in repair than others who are
exempt from the payment of the tax.
Does this classification then, rest upon
a reasonable difference between the
persons taxed? The court determined
that it did not ana therefore that the
act was void
The old law, it will be seen, exempt
ed women, minors men above 30 and
volunteer tremen from paying poll
tax. The new law eXeupts women
aud minors alone from the tax pay
ment. The supreme court, when the
case from Thurston county reaches it,
will be called upon to pass upon the
question whether this new classified
ton RESTS upon reasonable dfferen-
ce between the persons taxed and
those who are not taxed" Apparent.
ly the superior court of Thurston
county does not believe that there is
any such reasonable difference, but the
supreme court OF the state has the
last say in the matter.
