WILL OBEY THE LAW

Chicago, April 16.-When advised
by The Associated. Press that the con-
stitutionality of the grain futures act
had been upheld by the supreme court
of the United States, President John
J. Stream of the Chicago board OF
trade said:
at is needless to say that the Chi
cago board of trade will obey the law
which has been approved by the high,
est tribunal in theland. We vii
cheerfully conform in every particular
TO the law.
"What effect some of it's provisions
will have on the orderly marketing o.
food comodities the future alone cal
disclose. If the law fails to be th'
panacea for agricultural ills it viii
be thru its own deficiencies and no
because of hindrance from the grain
exchange.

Co. Atty. Erickson Says
law is Unconstitutional

c.rer 63 of Session Laws of 1923 to Be Unconstitu-
Holds for Two ReasOns That It Discrimnates Between
T.vnavers and Because 1t Diinishes Liability to the
State

cations held by the county and hav-
ing once been fixed at a certain |
amount, the legislative assembly is
without power to reduce said amount. |
Furthermore said law can be assailed !
as obnoxious Class Legislation and is
a denial of the equal protection of the
laws, contrary to the Fourteenth
Amendment to the National Consti-
tuition. The law in question, discrim-
mates between the taxpayers whose
property was sold for taxes to the
county and the taxpayers whose pro-
perty was sold for taxes to others
than the county. Two classes of tax
PAYERS are established and one class
pays a lower rate of interest than the
other.
In the case of Hill VS.. Rae, So Mon
tana 378, the Supreme Court held that
there was a discrimination between
two classes of mortgages. By the
law for consideration in that case, the
parties making loans from the State
were exempt from paying any filing
fees. Although the law was not de-
clared unconstitutional, because the
law was not involved in the cOndemna-
ton of this particular provision, yet
the Supreme Court said: "the dis
elimination between him (the mort
gagee making a loan from the state)
and all other mortgages is not Justl-
fed by any such relation as to the
/ encouragement of agriculture or any
public purpose as would warrant the
upholding of the exemption"
The discrimination referred to by
our Supreme Court in the Hill Case
is similar to the discrimination in the
| law providing a lower rate of inter-
est to one class of taxpayers and de-
: nving the reduction to others. The
exemption in the law in the Hill Case
: was but a minor part, but in the Law
(Chapter 63), the reduction OF the
: rate of interest in the redemption
from tax sale is the very essence OF
the law, in fact, the law relates Who'll
: Iv to the reduction of the rate OF IN
terest.
Either one of the two above reasons
} is sufficient to declare Chapter 63 OF
: +be Session laws of 1923 Unconstitu-
/ tional and therefore you are hereby
2 instructed to collect interest at the
t rate of twelve per cent per annum OF
d ali delinquent taxes due and owing tC
Sheridan County, Montana.
Respectfully submitted,
t ARTHUR G. ERICKSON,
t Sheridan County Attorney
: Persuant to the opinion rendered Il
n him bv the county attorney, the coun
: tv treasurer will not accept any pay
: ment of taxes except for the ful
+ amount due the county as shown OF
v v the records and County Attornie'
: Erickson is preparing an injunction
: to restrain the remission of any liza

1t is also a very grave question a
L to whether law postponing a pen
altv that has once become liked. /
constitutional: in other words the LAY
postponing the penalty on 1922 take
until October first, 1923, viii stan
up if tested. A couple of the Stat
Senators who are lawyers vote
against this law on the grounds
its unconstitutionality at the time
its final passage.
