The following resolution was intro
duced: ~,.,-.... I,,,-g,-a.
Whereas, During the year 1906, un-
der the laws known as Primary Elec-
ton Laws, all candidates desiring
their names to appear before the pub
lic as such and upon the official ballot,
were required to pay into the treasury
of Ramsey county a certain sum of
money graduated upon the amount of
fees or salary, the particular office of
which they were candidates paid, and,
Whereas, All personus who were
candidates for Office during the year
1906 did pay to the treasurer of said
mated by the law, and,
| Whereas, In a recent case Just de-
cided by the supreme court of this
state, it was held that said law so far
as the payment of the above fee to
the county treasurer was concerned,
the same was, and is unconstitutional,
and,
| Whereas, The county of Ramsey has
received quite large sum of money in
the aggregate from these individuals
who were candidates for Offices and
whose names appeared on the official
ballot during the year 1906, and,
Whereas, Such individuals SO paying
the fees as required by the then exist
ing laws are demanding return and
repayment of such sum paid, and,
/ Whereas, In the opinion of this
Board the repayment is a just and
legal demand against said county" of
Ramsey, and that the said repayment
without suit will be beneficial to the
county of Ramsey, and would save the
county large amount of money by
way of expenses and cost; be it

urer of Ramsey county in favor of

ed upon the fling with said auditor a
statement duly verified by them as the
truth of the charge and payment made
| said treasurer under the above named
