Laws Fare Badly As Courts Swing Axes
The Nebraska supreme court invalidated the second 1935 delinquent tax liquidation law on Wednesday, marking at least the ninth time state courts have struck down laws from the last bicameral legislature. The court voided two delinquent tax laws and four state assistance acts, and struck down a law abolishing Lancaster county justice courts. Other rulings declared unconstitutional a tax on fire insurance premiums for a pension fund and a $5,000 appropriations measure for insurance department probe. Some session laws were upheld, and the act creating a state bond on public officials remains in district court.
