LOCAL RECORD.

VS. E M Croisar, respondent, appeal from
Marion county; judgment of the lowe
court reversed and the cause remandet
to ascertain such amount. Opinion b,
Bean, j. The aboye case, inv 0lving tn,
validity of the state board of equalization
was decided Saturday. The court hold.
that the state board, being board o
equalization and not of assessment, ha.
no authority to change individual assess
ment or classify property into any classe;
other than those authorized by law, anc
appearing upon the county assessment
rolls that the only classification of rea
property for the purpose of assessment
and taxation known to the law Is mort
cages, city, village or town property, and
other real estate, and when the state
board undertook to classify real property
into railroad lands, wagon road lands,
swamn lands, railroad track and telegraph
lines, and add 10 each of these classes a
certain per cent on account of the man
ner in which they are designated, its acts
were Unauthorized and void, but so far as
1t confines its action to the classification
known to the law its acts are valid. The
court declined to pass upon the question
whether the state board should have
taken the abstracts of the assessment rolls
certified by the county clerks and not the
tabulated statement of the state board OF
equalization as the basis upon which 10
levy the state tax, because there is moth
ing in the record of the case upon which
this question can arise or nothing to indi-
cate the basis uFon which the state board
proceeded in making the state levy. al
though 1t is said in the opinion, 1T is
difficult to conceive that a county or tax
