up the hole, but the Vesuvius began to
settle astern, and calls for help were
sent out by wireless. Smith ordered
full speed ahead toward the nearest
land, two miles away.

MUST REFUND TAXES
OPINION is HANDED DOWN BY
ATTORNEY GENERAL
JOHNSON.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City, the Various
State Institutions and From
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

Sioux Falls.-In accordance with an
opinion rendered by Royal C. Johnson,
attorney general of South Dakota, or
a case arising from Roberts county,
that and other counties in the state
will be compelled to refund to the tax
ing districts of the counties a large
sun of money Is their share of certain
tax, penalties and interest alleged by
the attorney general to have been lille
gally collected. In Roberts county the
illegal collections are stated to have
extended back yer a period of about
six years. In common with the other
counties in the state it has been the
practice in Roberts county to divide
the interest and penalties received
from delinquent taxes between the
state and county general funds, and it
is this practice whichthe attorney gen.
eral says is wrong, and intimates that
proper refunds will have to be made.
So far as Roberts county is concerned,
just what the aggregate refund will
be cannot be estimated as yet, but it
will run into the thousands of dol
lars. 1t has been computed hat under
the opinion of the attorney general
the city of Sisseton alone will be en-
titled to $1,54S.37, while the Sisseton
school district will receive an addi-
tional $1,5S5.55. Every village, town
ship and school district in the county,
as well as in other counties, will come
in for their share of these funds.

New Tax Rate.
Pierre.-Letters received by the
members of the tax commission show
that many citizens throughout the
state have held the i'm
preston that tax levies are definitely
fixed by the legislature, and that this
fact would be a bar to a lower levy
in readjusting to the higher valuations
required in the present assessment.
The legislature does not fix the levy.
1t merely authorizes the levy and i'm
poses the limit. The board of assess
ment and equalization" which now
will be the tax commission, is author
lied and empowered" to levy a certain
number of mills. The language of
the law does not make the amount
mandatory, but constitutes an Eau
thorization" to the amount stated.
Under the South Dakota system the
local levies for support of counties,
school districts and cities is made in
a lump sum-, not in mills or percent
ages. A special amount is to be
raised, and in making up the tax list
the auditor figures the amount Of levy
required to raise the amount of money
needed by the taxing districts.
In discussing the question on read
justments under The new plan, Gov.
F. M. Byrne said:
"Under Jul system there is ne rela-
ton between the assessed valuation
and the amount of money raised for
taxes-that is, assuming each taxing
district follows the law and levies
money legally. The only possible dis
crepancy, or the only way open by the
increase Of assessment for material
increase in taxes, is in the case of tax
ing districts hat have been levying
to the limit. A large increase in val
uation would make it possible for such
districts to raise more money assum-
ing it is their desire to raise all they
can.
"My understanding is, however, that
very few taxing districts Of the state
levied the maximum amount under the
valuation of 1912, and I have no rea-
son to fear that many districts will
materially increase the amount of
money raised because Of the increased
valuation.
s far as the state levy is concern
ed, 1t will be made after the assess
ments come in from the various coun-
ties and are equalized and finally ad-
justed, and will be based entirely up
on the. valuation. My Judgment is
that instead of being 4 mills, as here
tofore, the assessment will be from 1
to IL mills"
