The state claimed the amount
levied for state purposes did not
exceed the five mills limit, other
amounts sueli as those for meeting

was that the limit applied ouiy to

which the tax was to he' called,
Attention is called to the fact that
there is no limit to the state in

Inspector Andrews gathered the
seven in at the Kootenai Valley j
bridge, just below town. He was I
in
on the look-out and about mid
nignt his vigil was rewarded by the
procession coining across the bridge.
He waited until they had climbed
down the ladder off of the bridge, j
when he came out from his hiding
place behind the bridge timbers
and placed them under arrest, to
which they submitted tamely. The
pilot was disco veredto Wold "Jake",

Such a construction would certain

the framers of the constitution. It
is clear to us that the "for state
purposes" mentioned in section 9,
article 7, is for rui ning and cur
rent expenses in carrying on and
operating the different departments
and institutions of the state gov
eminent, which is intended to be
upon a cash basis, as provided In
section 11 of the same article. If
"for state purposes" means all the
revenue the state can raise by tnxa
tion, then why use these words at
all."
It is further held that the coun
ty commissioners are obliged to
make the-levy to liquidate the in*
debtedness of the county to the
state, one mill of this levy having
been for that purpose. The court
