Description
This is a suit by the appellant, a taxpayer, hereafter designated plaintiff, against the appellees, Secretary of State, et al., hereafter designated defendants. The facts are not in dispute. In the year 1933 the legislature made a lump sum appropriation for the Office of Secretary of State for the fiscal years 1933-34 and 1934-35 in the aggregate amount of $44,458, for salaries and wages; for printing session laws; for operation; for initiative and referendum expense. Defendant James H. Kerby, the then secretary of state, used the entire appropriation with the exception of a small item of $48.20 for purposes other than those designated in the appropriation for initiative and referendum expense, and spent for the latter item the additional sum of $59,794.41. Defendant State Auditor approved the claims and defendant Cox, the then State Treasurer, paid the same with state funds. The action is to recover the amount expended over and above the appropriation upon the ground it was an illegal expenditure of public funds without legislative appropriation. The lower court rendered a summary judgment against the plaintiff.
