LYMAN COUNTY
TAX QUESTION
SUIT TO BE FILED FOR $780, 600.
COLLECTED FROM UNORGAN-
lied COUNTIES ATTACHED
TO 1T.

Oacoma, S. D.-Preliminary steps
have been taken before the county
commissioners here in an important
movement to secure a refund of taxes
amounting to between 100000 and
$4,000, which it is alleged the tax
ing authorities of this (Lyman) coun
ty illegally assessed and collected. In
the event that the county commission
ers refuse to make the refund de-
handed, it is probable 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 unorganized counties bordering
Lyman and mostly in the Rosebud
reservation.
The controversy arises out of the
custom under which adjoining coun-
ties have been privileged to tax an
unorganized county for state and jul
.dicial purposes. In the case of Lyman
county, however, t. is claimed that
taxes have been levied without a fair
assessment and included all of the
items usually making up the tax bud
get in an organized county. 1t is fur
Their maintained by the attorneys re-
presenting those who are seeking to
secure the a refunds that Lyman
county has no legal right to assess
taxes against residents in adjoininy
unorganized counties, for the alleged
reason that several years ago the
state released its right to prosecute
criminal acts committed on the reser-
vations to the United States courts,
