Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. County High Schools — Curative Statutes. Chapters 210 and 215 of the Laws of 1909 are curative statutes, designed to validate the action taken in counties where a majority of those voting on the proposition had voted to adopt the Barnes high-school law (Laws 1905, ch. 397) and where high schools had been established and maintained in accordance with that law for one year, although such law was not adopted by a majority of all those voting at the election, as the law at that time required.</p> <p>2. Constitutional Law — Uniform Operation — Special Laws— Amendatory Statutes — Taxation. Chapters 210 and 215 of the Laws of 1909 are not in conflict with section 17 of article 2 of the constitution, declaring that laws of a general nature shall have a -uniform operation and restricting the enactment of special laws, nor with section 16 of the same article, relating to amendatory statutes, nor with section 4 of article 11 of the constitution, forbidding the levy of taxes unless in pursuance of a law stating the object of the same. The reasons urged against the validity of these statutes are not sustained, and they are held to be valid laws.</p>
