Valitoni rendered' a decision last week holding that thel pall tax dtatutes of Montana are un- I constitutional and void. 'B. C. Pohl as plaintiff commenced! an action against the \Milwaukee\; railway company as e defesdat to re - over $90.35 and the defendant in- terposed an answer admittng a lia- bility of $88.35, but alleged that $2 V.011 paid to Powell county for the 'plaintiff's 'poll tax. The plaintiff con. tended that the poll tax statutes were unoonstiational and moved for judg-1 ment on the pleadings, claiming that; the payment of the $2 to Powell !county was no defense. The court su Itained the contention of the plain- tiff and judgment was rendered. The actioa is a test case, being financed by all of the unions in Mon - tame for the purpose of testing out the poll tax law, and will be carried to the Supreme Court for final de- termination.
