For the respondents there was a brief by Brown & Black of Racine, and oral argument by Harley Brown.

GORDON, J.

The contract, which was entered into voluntarily by the city of Racine, is now challenged by that municipality as being violative of sec. 1, art. VIII of the Wisconsin constitution, which provides that: "The rule of taxation shall be uniform . . ." The objective of this clause has been interpreted to be "to protect the citizen against unequal, and consequently unjust taxation." Weeks v. Milwaukee (1860), 10 Wis. 186 (*242), 201 (*257).
