CHAPTER X

The Barbarian Princess Goes Homo.
Miss Elizabeth Llttleford beheld an
interesting sight when she allghted
from a nOrthbOund afternoon train at
the Halfway switch. Just below the
long siding q shorter siding had been
put in-the railway company had been
FASTENED, no doubt, by the great in
iluence of old Newton Wheatley-and
from 1t had been unloaded u small
geared locomotive, u dozen or so of
ittle coal cars opening at the bottom,
and miles of light steel rails with kegs
of spikes for them.
Out toward her home crew Of men
worked like bees at the building of a
trestle OF round timbers that had been
cut from the nearby woods; she at
once recognized these men as More
lands and LittlefOrds, and she knew
II meant peace They didn't recognize
her, because of the distance and the
clothing she wore, and because they
were too busy to pay any particular
attention TO her.
Farther out toward Doe river an
other crew of men was nj work clear
Ing the way for the little narrow
gauge. She heard the sounds Of the
TX and the saw, the hammer and the
steel, and once there came to her ears
the great dull roar Of exploding dyna-
mite as cliff was blown clear of its
foundations.
Miss Elizabeth Llttleford smiled
happily. And she had not been happy
for long time. Patricia McLaurin
with whom she ha dbeen staying, had
been kindness Itself, but the mother
of Bill Dale, her B!n Dale, had
snubbed her--and besides the longing
for the old home hills was rlotOus IN
her blood. So she had come back, run
away at less than moments notice
as had Bin Dale before her. and how
good II seemed to be at home Sh,
would have gone to see the men, hat
IL not been that she feared she wOult
he II bother.
There was another interesting sigh
when she had reached the crest O
David Moreland's mountain. In tn
upper end Of the broad valley, mid
way between the settlement" and tn
opening of the Moreland coal vein, tw'
large buildings We're well along II
their course Of construction.
She put down her bundle Of cloth
ing, shaded her eyes with her hand
and tried to find Bill Dale among tn
builders. But the distance was to-
great; n man down there was but
mere Speck. -. Before she went on
she removed her shoes and stockings
II was hard for Babe LttlefOrd to bo
come accustomed to wearing uscles
shoes aud stockings In warm weather
When she had reached the foot U
the mountain, she didn't take the by
path her people had been wont to Us

APPLIES TO WHOLE LEVY

Decision upholding the constitution
ality Of the, tax limitation law of the
state was forecast in legal circles to-
day, following the decision of the SUI
preme court in one of the two suits
before it involving the law 1t was
pointed out that the court had inter.
preted the application OF the law in
one decision, promulgated today. and
it was not expected that the court
would then declare the entire law in.
valid.
i The high court reversed District
Judge Cole, of Fargo, in deciding that
the tax limitation law applied to the
tax levies as a whole and not to indi-
vidual items in the budget. #s
The case before the court was insti.
tuted by the Northern Pacific rail-
road against the Cass county board Of
commissioners, to restrain the COM
missioners from making proposed
bridge levy, which, the plaintiff al.
legged, was in excess Of one-third of
the amount raised for bridge purposes
in 1918, 1919 and 1920.
The supreme court held that house
bill No. 25, the tax limitation mea-
sure, limited the total amount of the
county levy to one.third Of the 1918,
1919 and 1920 levies, but that it did
not limit individual items in the bud
get.
The Limitation Law
House Bill No. 25, as passed by the
last session of the legislature, said
that "the total amount of taxes levied
for any purpose in any county, or po-
litical sub division thereof, shall not
exceed an amount equal to one-third
of the total combined levies which
were made for the years 1918, 1919 and
192O' Exceptions were provided in
that school districts might levy &c
per cent above this amount and coun-
ties, cities and political subdivisions
were permitted to increase the amount
25 per cent by favorable vote at an
election.
Tax levies now are being held uI
in most of the counties Of the state
because of the fact that the, constitu
! tionality of the limitation law has
been in question. Many cities ant
counties made their tax levies with
out regard to the law, and these bud
gets will have to be cut down oonsid
