Attacking Taxes Levied.

Oacoma.-Preliminary steps have
been taken before the county COM
missioners here in an important move
ment to secure a refnnd Of taxes
amounting to between $50. 1000 and s40,-
900. which It IS alleged the taxing a1i-
thorities of this county illegally as
sessed and collected. In the event that
the county commissioners refuse to
make the refund demanded, it is prob
able the matter will be carried into
the state circuit court for adjustment.
The alleged Illegal taxes are said to
have been assessed against merchants
and ranchmen in the u~norganized
counties bordering LYMAN county and
| mostly in the Rosebud reservation. The
controversy arises out Of custom
where adjoining counties have been
privileged to tax an u~norganized
| county for state and judicial purposes.
In the case Of Lyman county, however,
it is claimed that taxes have been lev.
led without a fair assessment and in
Guided all OF the items usually making
up the tax budget in an organized coun-
tv. II IS further maintained by the
attorneys representing those who are
seeking to secure the tax refunds that
lyman county has no legal right to as.

attorney of Hughes county, the attor.
ney general holds that when the coun-
ty takes a tax title on a city lot, it Is
subject to any special assessments for.
city improvements which may have
been laid against the tract, and that
the holders of certificates issued for
such improvements have a claim
against the county just as they would
against any other individual holder.
But the collection Of the claim can
not be by sale, but must be by suit for
collection.
Pierre.-On inquiry from the states
attorney Of Corson county It Is held
by the state legal department that
there Is no provision under the Rich
ards primary act, nor for that matter
under any other law. providing mileage
compensation for judges Of elections
returning the ballot boxes to the coun-
ty seat. The only compensation flxed
for such judges is SO per day, and this
