Opinion text

On Motion to Dismiss. The opinion of the court was delivered by Manning, C. J. The appellee moves to dismiss on the ground that the sum in dispute is less than $500, and there is no question of the constitutionality or legality of any tax involved. The sole question is the legality of a tax, and that gives jurisdiction, regardless of the amount. The motion is frivolous, and is denied.
