Road Bond Protest Answered.


An answer has been filed in the
supreme court at Jefferson City by
Assistant Attorney General Ruther-
ford in the mandamus suit brought
by Prosecuting Attorney Ralph of St.
Louis County to compel the state aud
itor to register the 100000 road
bonds recently voted by that county.
Following the filing of this answer,
Ralph filed a motion which he hopes
will forestall the intention of Thomas
Skinker, a lawyer, to carry the valid
ity of the bond issue to the supreme
court.
Ralph asked to have Skinker's an
| swer, previously filed as an individual
| taxpayer, attacking the constitution
| atty of the law, stricken from the
court record, on the ground that Mr.,
Rutherford's answer, in behalf of all
the taxpayers of the county and state
| covered every point raised in Skink

American and European species, but
does little damage to those from ia

Bad Apportlonment for Cities.


st. Louis will receive but $500 out
of the apportionment of $250,00O made
by State Auditor Gordon from the
good road funds. This is because the
law was so drawn as to cut the heav-
lest tax-paying counties and cities of
the state with but 3 per cent of the
total apportionment, no matter the
amount of taxes they pay.
The city of st. Louis has a total val
uation Of $647, 442,174, and will receive
no more of the apportionment than
Buchanan county with a total assess
ment of $51,O63, 15S, or st. Louis coun'
ty, with a total valuation of $67,976,
253. Jackson county, also, with a
total valuation of $236,096, ITO, is in
the $500 class. All other parts of the
state will draw on the proportion Of
their assessed valuation.
