HIGH SCHOOL TAX IS VOID.
Supreme Court Decision Is In Favor
Of the Taxpayers.

A telegram received from Helena
this Monday afternoon states that
the supreme court has rendered a de-
cision in the Chouteau county high
school case. in which it is held that
the tax levy made for county high
school purposes is void. The decision
OF the court holds that the county high
school law enacted by the tenth as.
sembly is valid, but proceedings con-
nected with the special election in
Chouteau county last July were irreg-
ular in several respects.
The effect of the decision will be the
issuance OF a restraining order to pre-.
vent the collection of the Chouteau
county high school tax. 1t is UNDER
stood that the matter will be referred
to the district court, and the restrain.
ing order issued by that tribunal.
According to newspaper accounts
of the supreme court decision in the
Chouteau county high school case,
the court holds that the questions of
establishing q county high school
and naming the place for its location,
should be determined at separate
elections. No provision for that
course of procedure is made in the
county high school law. The deci-
sion also holds that the special cleo.
ton held in Chouteau county July 6
was not called in the manner pre-.
scribed by the statutes.
In passing upon some Of the ques-
tions relating to the constitutionality
of the county high shool law. the
court says the title OF the bill cannot
be successfully attacked under the
rules laid down by the court on the
subject, as we'll as another prepared
for this emergency. This provision
of the constitution relates to matters
OF substance and not merely to form,
and il q title fairly indicates the gen.
eral u bject of the act, is c%omprehen-
sive enough in its scope reasonably
to cover all the provisions thereof
and is not calculated to mislead either
the legislature or the public, this is q
sufficient compliance with the consti-
tutional requirement.
The further point raised against the
bill on constitutional grounds that it
is a revenue measure and having
originated in the senate. is therefore
void, is held by the court to be I'M.
available for the eason that in the
meaning of the constitution it is not a
revenue measure as that basic law re-
fers strictly to state revenues, whereas
none of the money SO raised goes to
the state treasury. 1t says that the
ac. does not assume to levy a tax, but
a, most only authorizes the county
commissioners to make a levy. 1t was
argued that the act is void because it
delegates to the voters OF the county
power to legislate or to establish high
schools at the county's expense, con-
trary to the provisions of the consti.
tuition, but the opinion answers this
by saying that the act is a local OPP
ton law, of uniform operation.

LEWISTOWN, Nov. l6.-Graiu buy
ing will be resumed by the elev ator
company Monday, and it is expected
that the great wheat crop will move at
a lively rate. The price will be con.
siderably lower than it was before
buying was suspended, not only be.
cause the eastern quotations are lower,
but also because the freight rate to
ST. Paul has been increased by the
railroad 10 cents per 100 pounds in
the interim. Oats are selling now
and there is a considerable local mar.
ket for this grain, large Quantities
being required at the various grading

During the Boer war Frederick r.

out one day with patrol on the veldt
when he announced that he had lost
the trail. He dismounted, says Col
ller's, and began moving about on
hands and knees, nosing the ground
like bloodhound, and pointing out a
trail that led back over the way they
had just come. While he was thus en-
ployed the commanding officer rode up.
Don't raise your head, sir" said
Burnham TO him. "On that kopje to
the right there is a commando Of

"When did you see them?" asked the
officer.

swered.
"But 1 thought you were looking for
