There seems to be an impression In some parts of the county that school directors have no right to assess the minimum occu pation tax on farmers. The law is just the ilher way; they shall assess it, and must do so, if they wish to do their duly accord- nz to l.vv ; every farmer is, therefore, re quired to pay one dollar as the minimum occupation tux, besid his school tax as as sessed on,liis other property. The law reads as follows: Tnot upon every resident male taxable, f Ihe nee of 21 'cars, whose name is found entered tiwtn the last adjiuted voluation. luriiisueil ii.-i-ording to law to any board ot directors or controller, by Ihe cummifsioii- crsof the priqier county, as a basis for the assessment of school lex, or which may be contained iu Ihe additional assessment all hunted by the 35th section of Ihe art to which this is a lur'.her supplement, the proiier board of directors or controllers shall asvess the minimum occupation tax now al lowed by law, to be collected with the other school lax of the district now payable by such person Act April II, IS02, Bee. 5, . u., page nz. According to Ihe above, this tax must be assessed on ' every resident male taxable,' which, of course, includes farmers. The law is maiidainry. It doe not give school di rectors the choice of assessing it or nut as sessing it. It say they "shall assess" it they violate the Uw by not assessing it, at is done in a number of districts at present. To make the matter still mnre clear, the Slato Superintendent has interpreted the aw as follows ; Farmers, whether owners of lands or only tenants, aie now liable to the minimum no cupatioulax ol one dollar. Until a farm er's occiiiiiitinn is valued in Ihe list at a atim that would yield more than one dollar, he is not to pay more than one dollar; in other words, he is liable In Ihe " minimum " but not to the " rate " occupation tax.-School Latvs and Decisions, page 88, sec. 213.
