Attorney General Clark has ruled
81 q case which was brought 20 him
from Lyman county, that the fence
| law which is being enforced west @!
the Missouri river, under the provi-
Eions Of the act OF 1891, is unconsti-
| tutionai. The law seeks 70 apply one
| law west Of the Missouri river and an.
]
is In effect that the herd law ~ppfies
] TO all parts Of the state alike. and :Nzt
there is no Difference so far as tn.
river being the dividing lire is con.
! ee-ned. The only way in which. I'm hi
| opinion. this could be legally carried
out would be by a state wide law
county optional. IN which case II an
county voted for a fence law IL then
would be IN full force and effect, but
not until such a vote had been taken

Attorney General Clark has WRITER
an opinion at the request Of the stat.
treasurer. I'm which he holds that IL
case Of inheritance tax coming to tn.
state. that the expenses Of collection
Of the same should come out OF tn.
state share Of the fund before IL is re-
mftted TO the state treasury. In the
past the counties in which the tax wa.
paid have been obliged to stand thii
expense. without getting any return
for the service and expense. and thi,

which has just been made.
