SAYS NEW SCHOOL LAW VOL

In an official opinion given Wednesday to c. J. Dean. Tax Assessor of Franklin County. by Attorney General J. S. Utley concerning the constitutionality of Act No. 466, the special school law providing that property be assessed in this county at it's full value for school purposes only he holds that the act is invalid for the following reasons:
 First: Without passing on the question as to whether such a a law. if applied to the whole State, would be valid, l think this one certainly is invalid be- cause 1t destroys the principle of uniformity. in that 1t does not apply to the entire State.
 Second: The custom of assess ing property at fifty per cent of it's true value ls.probably not well enough established to warrant the courts in taking judicial notice that such standard does prevail: but l take 1t that proof would be easily made that property is not assessed at 100 per cent of it's value for other purposes. and that to fix one standard of assess ment for school purposes and an other for other purposes would not be taN ng the other property according to it's value, as eontem- plated by the Consultation.
 Tlird: The Constitution limits the amount which can he levied for school purposes to twelve mills: raising the assessment and and retaining the same rate would be indirectly making the levy greater than twelve mills. in those districts which have al- ready voted the constitutional limit.
 
 Fourth: The Act in question has the effect of taxing one species of property higher than another of equal value.
The spectator., 1921-05-13
Attention School Directors

The Attorney General on yes terday handed down his opinion relative to the constitutionality of the law providing for the assessment of property in Frank lin and Benton counties at it's full value for schoo, purposes. The Attorney General holds it uncon- stitutional. which means that the old law of a l2 mil maximum levy on a 50 per cent basis pre- vails as formerly.
 For some time the Board oi Education and the Superintend. ent have seen fearful that this measure would not stand the con stitutional test. and have been endeavOring tD get a definite ruling on same from the Attorney General that directors and other electors might be informed thereon. regret that this opinion could not be obtained sooner. but trust that all the people will have opportunity to learn of the opinion before the the school election on May Dist. 1t seems to me unfortunate that this measure does not meet the constitutional requirements, for it would enable districts needing the additional tax to vote it upon themselves and at the same time permit other districts to vote as little as they cared to. l think that those who support. ed this measure are To be com. mended on their efforts to relieve the actual financial situation with respect r.. cestain 1nfortun. ate districts. However. ihe opinion of the States lawyer must obtain, and the only way left for relieve will be through amendment to the constitution
 Very respectfully.

The spectator., 1921-05-13

It is commendable in yolr people to undertake to tax them selves hevely in order to main. tain their schools, and if every. body would abide by the law and carry out the intention of the Legislature it would be the means of putting your schools on a fine financial basis. but as long as there it one kicker he can ham. per you in the enforcement of this law.
 With kinlest personal, regards. 1 am Yours very truly,
 J s. Utley Attorney General.
