The right Of John w. Eagleson.

mated and elected treasurer Of this
state will be attacked in the courts,
says the Capital News. 1t was learn

prominent attorneys of this state
have been employed as counsel to
contest the right of Mr.. EaRleson to
take Office and that papers in an
action are now being drafted which
will within a short time be filed In
the courts.
The action will be based on the
grounds that Mr.. Eagleson's nomin-
alton in the first instance was null

SAYS AUTO LICENSE
LAW IS VOID

Passing for the second time on the
automobile license law, Judge Davis
in the district court at Boise handed
down a decision Tuesday, in which
he holds it unconstitutional as re-
CARDS the licence feature. The case
will probably be appealed.
The decision came in the case of
Harry s. Kessler, who was arrested
on charge of riding a motorcycle
without having procured a license
as required by the law. He was con-
victed, but applied for a writ of
habeas corpus and Judge Davis
grants the writ. He holds that the
license feature Of the law Is in con-
fiict with sections 2 and 8 Of article
Z Of the state constitution.
The question previously raised on
the law was as tO the legality Of the
bonds issued under It. Judge Davis
also passed on them. That phase Of
the matter was carried to the su-
preme court and the legality Of the
bonds upheld.
Should the supreme court hold az
does Judge Davis, it will mean that
the interest must be met through q
general levy. The decision also af-
fects state bonds that have been is.
sued. The iasue amounts to two
hundred thousand dollars, but all the
bonds have not been disposed Of.
