Curthbert, Devils Lake attorney, against Sheriff Bert Smutz. It marked the first time question of the 1935 law has been pushed to a Smutz levied on Cuthbert’s personal library and collected $34, which was paid under protest. Cuthbert imme- diately filed suit against the sheriff to recover the money, stating in his complaint that the 1935 law does not exist since it was voted down 127,359 to 45,498 in a referendum measure at the June in 1936. Although thousands of dollars have been collected it the state under protest, the test case is the first time a levy was actually made, threatening the taxpayer’s personal Property. In previous cases, the state supreme court has held that money collected under protest need not be refunded unless property of the taxpayer has been threatened by levy. Clyde Duffy of the law firm of Sinness and Duffy who, with Mack V. Traynor and Fred J. Traynor, will represent Cuthbert, said the case is now in the hands of the attorney general with a ruling setting a date for its hearing expected at any time. He added it was improbable the case will come before the next term of court, convening Nov. 9. Duffy explained the supreme court must decide whether the 1935 law left the state without an income tax law, repealing the 1933 measure, or if it merely revised the 1933 law. The case is significant because it involves right of the state to collect $16,000 still outstanding in 1935 in- come taxes. Prior to a recent col- lection campaign the amount was $35,000. Recently the collection job was turned over to sheriff's and Smutz’ levy on Cuthbert’s books fol- lowed. In the backgriund, too, is the pos- sibility that successful prosecution of the action would result in numerous claims by persons who paid under The Weather Fair tonight and Sun- day; colder tonight; warmer Sunday.
