AUTO TAX LAW is
UPHELD BY COURT
Constitutionality of Measure Was At
tackled in Suit Instituted
by Achenbach
Special to The Tribune.

Special TO The Tribune.
BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 25.-The consti
tutiouality of the auto tax law Of this
state, which was attacked III the dis
trict and supreme courts, is upheld by
the latter tribunal in an opinion handed
down here tonight. 1t is one of the
most important rulings The court has
made for years, for upon 1T rested the
right TO existence of the entire state
highway system of Idaho, in support of
which automobiles arc exempted from
taxation and forced to pay state Ii.
cense based upon the horsepower car
ned by each machine. Had the court
held the law unconstitutional the high
way system would have been under.
mined and the state commission would
have lost its usefulness.
The court g opinion is written by
Judge Bulge of Pocatello and Is rem
dered in the case of Acbenbach against
Assessor klncaid and the commission
ers of Ada county. Achenbach insti-
tuted the case In the district court for
this county, but lost, Judge Davis deny
ing his application for writ of man
date to compel the assessor TO assess
automobiles, exempted under the law.
An appeal was carried to the supreme
court. This court is unanimous in it's
findings, It holds In brief that the leg
islsture has the right to exempt any
class of property from taxation and the
auto license law creating a highway
commission is therefore constitutional.
