I The supreme court dodged a decision in the constiutionality of the iaw taxing judgments yesterday by dis- missing a case in which that question was raised on tht ground that it should have been brought In the dis- trict court. The case was a suit in mandamus filed by George A. Hamilton to compel J. M. Wilson, clerk of Ellsworth county, to issue an execution for a balance due on a judgment held against Thomas A.

Rankin for $563. It seems that Hamilton was Ignorant of the existence of the Kansas law taxing judgments. Tho judgment which he held against Rankin was put up at tax sale under the provisions of the law. Rankin bought it in for $13, thus canceling the entire debt.
