MR. JUSTICE ANGSTMAN:
I concur in the result reached in the foregoing opinion but solely on the ground of stare decisis.
As will be noted I did not agree with the majority opinion in the cases of State ex rel. Hardy v. St. Bd. of Equal., 133 Mont. 43, 319 Pac. (2d) 1061; and State v. Toomey, 135 Mont. 35, 335 Pac. (2d) 1051, so far as they upheld legislation authorizing the doubling of the tax.
I have not changed my opinion but yield to the application of those cases here on the ground of stare decisis.
