| Citation | 31 S.W. 23,128 Mo. 427 |
| Parties | STATE ex rel. DICKASON v. MARION COUNTY COURT et al. |
| Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
1. The court will take judicial notice of the last official United States census to determine the population of a county. 30 S. W. 103, affirmed.
2. Bonds issued by a township funding railroad-aid bonds are "township indebtedness," within the meaning of Rev. St. 1889, § 4575, providing for the application of a portion of the license tax on saloons, in a township which has compromised its indebtedness, in payment of the township indebtedness. 30 S. W. 103, affirmed.
3. It is sufficient to entitle an amendatory act "An act to amend" certain sections of an authorized version of the statutes, without any other description of the subject of the amending act. 30 S. W. 103, affirmed.
4. The title "Of Dramshops," is broad enough to cover a provision as to the application of funds arising from license taxes on saloons. 30 S. W. 103, affirmed.
5. Rev. St. 1889, § 4575, providing for a certain application of the proceeds of license taxes on saloons, in counties having a stated population or less, is not special legislation. 30 S. W. 103, affirmed.
6. Rev. St. 1889, § 4575, authorizing the county court to levy a certain license tax on saloons "for county purposes," and providing that in certain townships a certain proportion of the funds so raised shall be used to pay the "township indebtedness," is not unconstitutional, as diverting the county revenue for township purposes, as such funds are vested in the county only as governmental agent for the township. 30 S. W. 103, affirmed.
7. Such act is not in violation of Const. art. 4, § 45, as a pledging of the state's credit in aid of a municipality. 30 S. W. 103, affirmed.
8. Nor does such act violate Const. art. 12, § 19, which forbids any law for the benefit of any corporation or individual "retrospective in its operation or which shall impose on the people of any county or municipal division of the state a new liability in respect to transactions already past." 30 S. W. 103, affirmed.
9. Nor is such act unconstitutional as a violation of the obligation of contracts. 30 S. W. 103, affirmed.
