Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Counties — Erection of Court-house — Use of General Fund. Section 3 of chapter 167, Laws of 1905, is to be interpreted as authorizing the commissioners of Gove county to use a part of the general revenue fund for the building of a courthouse.</p> <p>2. Constitutional Law — Diversion of- a Tax — Void Provision of a Statute. Such provision violates section 4 of article 11 of the state constitution (Gen. Stat. 1901, §205), forbidding the diversion of a tax from the object for which it is levied, and is therefore void.</p> <p>3. -Partial Invalidity Held to Render Entire Act Void. Such provision is so related to the other provisions of the act that it cannot be said that the legislature would have passed any of them independently of this one, and the entire act is therefore void.</p>
