8 INDIANA LAWS
ARE BACKED UP
BY HIGH COURT
Tax Act Section, Home Rule
Amendment and Road
Statute Stand.
TAXPAYER WINS ACTION

The eonstftutlonality of the section OF
5the tax law which provides that the State
board Of tax commissioners shall pass
on bond issues and that Of the johnson
home rule" amendment, which provides
that this power shall be placed In the
hands Of the county councils, was up
held in q decision Of the Supreme Court
today. The amendment became effective
Jan. 1 repeating the first-named section.
The court also upheld the constitutional
fly of the county unit road Law.
The decisions came from the case Of
Leo Van Hess, a taxpayer, against the
board OF commissioners of st. Joseph
County TO enjoin the commissioners from
issuing and selling bonds 10 improve
six and one-half miles of highway un-
der the county unit law at a cost of S2I0, =
coo, and from Ievying and collecting
taxes to pay bonds and interest.
The opinion was written by Justice
Louis B. Ewbank.
The decision is regarded particularly
important because Of the recommends
tions OF Governor James 2. Goodrich
that appellate Jurisdiction Re given the
tax board over bond issues and the re-
ported similar stand of Governor-ele
Warren T. McCray on the same sub
ject
The plaintiff contended that the board
Of commissioners intended to issue the
bonds without the approval of the tax
board He contended also that the
county yunit road law was unconstitu-
tional because it carried a faulty and
incomplete title and because it gave the
county commissioners both judicial and
administrative powers. The defendants
demurrers to both contentious we're sus-
tanned in court. The plaintiff then ap-
pealed
In handing down The opinion the Su-
preme Court also stated there is nothing
IN the highway act which repeals the
disputed section Of the tax law which
was passed with an emergency clause
two days Defore the highway act was
missed
