MAKE TEST CASE
TEACHER PENSION LAW

Boise Independent School district
No. / will test the constitutionality of
teachers retirement fund law passed
at the 1921 session of the legislature
and as it's first return the warrant
with which the Boise teachers paid
their part of the fund, according to a
statement in The Statesman.
This action was decided upon at
the regular meeting OF the school
board held at Lincoln school Monday
night.
Roy L. Black, attorney general, said
Monday night that the case has been
prepared quite while but no oppor-
tunity had presented itself whereby
all phases of the case could be con-
sidered. Action against the district
will be started Immediately, he said.
When the district warrant is re-
turned the board proposes to return
to each teacher in the district the
amount of money taken from the No
vember salary by the clerk of the dis
trict in accordance with the provi
sions of the law
Mandamus proceedings will then be
instituted against the district to COM
pel it to collect the money from the
teachers. The case will be taken to
the supreme court for decision and
members of the board thought it
would be given preference on the cal
endar in order to get quick opinion.
The law has received severe criti-
cism from all parts of the state and
many districts have refused in whole
or in part to pay the amount which
the law assesses against each teacher
in the state. According to the meas
ure the clerk of each district in the
state is required to collect from each
teacher in the district one-half of l
per cent of the teachers annual sal
ary The law further requires that
this money be collected from the No
vember salary.
