tive Writ
THURSDAY At 10

The constituiionality OF House Iii.
GO, through which tho league majority
in the eleventh hour of the rc1cnl
special session seeks to give immediate
effect to all acts of that assembly,
although Il majority of the leagues
punitive measures did net receive the
required twO-thirds vote to make them
emergency acts. will come M for nr,
gllmcnt before the supreme court at 10
o'clock Thursday morning as y result
OF an alternative writ issued late Mon.
day afternoon directing State TrcaSllr-
er Obert A.. Olson to show cause 1T
that time why he should not pay a
salary warrant drawn against the
state auditors contingency fund. This
fund together with other appropriations
for the state apditor aggregating about

special assembly which is now in effect.

which otherwise would not become cf-
fcctivc until July 1.
HOW CASE AROSE.
The controversy was brought to the
attention Of the supreme court in q
petition filed late Saturday evening by
Assistant Attorneys General Sheets an.l
Cox, setting forth the facts with rela-
ton to the state treasurcrs refusal %
pay the salary warrant of stenogra-
pher employed in the auditors office
and requesting that the state treas
urer be required TO show cause
There was a question until Monday
evening when the court issued its Or
der as to whether jurisdiction wo,-@
be accepted. The fact that the court
has assumed jurisdiction is taken to
indicate that it. will adjudicatc the
case on its merits. inasmuch as no h
sides to the controversy are anxious
for an early decision.
House Bill GO involves the success
Of the whole league legislative program
Of the recent special session, with the
exception cf such real. emergency
measures as those extending the time
of payments for seed and feed liens

Citations. reducing state taxes 81 pcl

payment of taxes and increasing the
levy for the soldiers bounty and max
ing more liberal the conditions under
which this bonus becomes available
All Of the acts enumerated received
moro than the twO-thirds vote required
in each house to carry the emergency
clause.
ACTS AFFECTED.
Acts which failed to receive this
emergency vote were principally di'
rected against insurgcnt members OF
the state administration. reducing the
attorney generals appropriation for
the biennium from $4,000 to $4,000;

STATE PREPARES
TO DEFEND 1919
EXCISE TAX LAW
Fight Lost in Circuit Court at
St. Louis to BE Carried
TO Capital

North Dakota has completed prepa.
rations for appearing in the United
States supreme court in the case Of
Walker d. Hines, director general of
railroads, ct al, VS.. George Wallace,
state tax commissioner, ct nj, con-
testing the state's tax Of stocks and
bonds. it was announced at the attor-
ney generals office today
The suit is up on an appeal from
an order restraining enforcement OF
the tax law, issued by special tribu-
nal in st. Louis last December.
Under a stipulation between the at
torncy generals office and counsel for
the railroads. the supreme court at
Washington will be petitioned to ad-
vance the case on its calendar. Judge
C. w. Bum, chief counsel for the
Northern Pacific. left last night foe
the national capital to secure the con-
sent of Director General Hines to an
advancement.
~- WHAT LAW PROVIDES.
The law in question places tax or
80 cents on every $1,000 Of the actuai
value of all stocks and bonds Of cor
poratiOns organized either under the
laws Of North Dakota or any other
state or foreign country. All stock Of
domestic corporations is affected As
to foreign corporations, it provides for
a tax on stocks and, bonds prorated to
the state in the ratio which business
within the state bears to the total bus
mess Or upcn the basis Of property
within the state. 1t is provided, how
ever, in the case Of common carriers
that the valuation be allocatcd upon
the main line mileage basis. Under
this provision the tax would net tn.
state S175,0OO annually from the rail-
roads.
1t is expected the decision will have
some bearing upon the onera tion Of the
states inccmc tax. which permits Of
taxation when both the domiclc Of the
corporation and the dOmicilc Of the
owner are outside the state. Taxes
from railroads under this measure
would be approximately $45O,OOO annn-
ally. The local attorneys hope for ar
gllmcnt and decision of the case on
stocks and bonds in March or April.
