court yesterday found it necessar to make two tax levies One is

- which is the full C per vent in esfes of the levy for jn!'allowed
by the constitutional limitation. The additional fecial lew is for

Whether the special levy is legal is a serious question. The
J county court does not elaiia th.iit is legal, and District Attorney

Over against the doubt as
cality of the court's action are tht
acts of tbe legisliture making 1
Incumbent upon the county court t
raise the required funds.! The qtifl-
tion is one that may affect any coua-
ty In the state, Other counties maf.
have gotten around the difficulty
deducting from the tegular .count:
. fund to build tip the special fundi
The Marlon: county court has takta
.the standi however, ihaf this Ih 3
logical. ; and - that" if to cents c.tSj
' be deducted legally from oneof l Hi
regular funds, 'then the ' whol
amountcaa' "be 'taken and that fun's
; destroyed. :; This mighfrfor example
be the circuit court fund,; and argu
: roent is' .made that if ; the count
court has a right to rob the circuil
' court of , a&y of its maintenance
fund, it has a right to take ill tM
fund and put the circuit court o a;
of existence .The county court holdj
that every regular fundi is entitle
to its full allowance up to the 6 peg
cent limitation.1 J
The special JeTT of S4S.623.2S
