COURT REFUSES 10 RULE ON TAX CASE; Will Not Decide Constitution ity of Amendment to Hail Insurance Laws North Dakota supreme court jus- ices had refused Monday to rule on the constitutionality of an amend- ment to the state hail insurance laws which provide for preserving the sta- tus of contracts or sale of lands and mortgages as a prior lien to the hail indemnity taxes, A decision written by Chief Jus- tice A. M. Christianson in a case ap- pealed by the Federal Land Bank of Bt. Paul said: “Courts will not determine constitu- tional questions abstractly or in a thypothetical case; nor will they antic- ipate a question of constitutional law in an advance of the necessity of deciding it.” The federal land bank had asked for a writ of mandamus to compel Carl J. Johnson as treasurer of La- Moure county to accept payment of general taxes without payment of the hail taxes. Johnson refused to issue the tax receipt, claiming that the hall taxes must be paid first under the 1933) statute which provides that contracts for sale of lands and mortgages exe- cuted prior to approval of the act *must be recorded within 90 days of tthe effective date of this act in order to preserve their status as a prior lien fo the hail indemnity taxes.” Ravnaas Funeral Held North of Turtle Lake Funeral services for Marcus Rav- hhaas, McLean county farmer who died Thursday night, were held at St. (Olaf’s Lutheran church, 6 miles north of Turtle Lake at 2 p. m., Monday.
