sh, 111 U.S. 716 (1884). [1709] Mobile _v._ Watson, 116 U.S. 289 (1886); Graham _v._ Folsom, 200 U.S. 248 (1906).

Alluding to the ineffectiveness of purely judicial remedies against defaulting municipalities, Justice Frankfurter says: "For there is no remedy when resort is had to 'devices and contrivances' to nullify the taxing power which can be carried out only through authorized officials. _See_ Rees _v._ City of Watertown, 19 Wall. 107, 124 (1874). And so we have had the spectacle of taxing officials resigning from office in order to frustrate tax levies through mandamus, and officials running on a platform of willingness to go to jail rather than to enforce a tax levy (_see_ Raymond, State and Municipal Bonds, 342-343), and evasion of service by tax collectors, thus making impotent a court's mandate. Yost _v._ Dallas County, 236 U.S. 50, 57 (1915)." 316 U.S. at 511.

In this and the preceding two cases the legislative act involved did not except from its operation existing contracts. [1718] Manigault _v._ Springs, 199 U.S. 473 (1905).
