Gallup Estate Taxes.

The Supreme Court yesterday heard oral
argument in the case of Edward P. Gallup.
executor. against the treasurer of Marion
county. A judgment was secured against
the estate of the late William p. Gallup for
S52 due for back taxes on incomplete
returns of property during the last years of
appellant and he attacked the constitutions
atty OF the law for assessing omitted prop
erty belonging to nonresidents because the
law fails 10 provide for any notice TO the
taxpayer The law requires that written
notice shall be given to a resident taxpayer
but says nothing as to nonresidents.
Attorney General Taylor represented the
State and suggested that the judgment was
probably erroneous as the amount should
have been greater and judgment should have
been given for SCI. 1889. He claimed that
the constitutional question was not before
the court for consideration. AS many spir-
tied passes took place between attorneys in
the argument as have taken place in their
briefs.

The case of Peter Kirsch and others
against George A. Braun, in which the va
lidity of gravel-road bonds was under con-
sideration, was decided by the Supreme
Court yesterday. The plaintiffs in this suit
owned land in Benton county, through
which a gravel road was constructed and
bonds were sold TO pay for the road. The
abutting land was assessed to pay the
bonds, which were sold for $4,000 to Braun.
Some of the property owners brought suit
in the Circuit Court and a judgment was
rendered to the effect that the gravel-road
assessments were void and the auditor and
treasurer were entoined from collecting
them. Braun knew nothing of this proceed
ing until 1t was over, and. being resident
of Ohio, he brought suit in the United
States Court TO compel the county to pay
the bonds. The court held that he must look
TO the landowners whose property had
been assessed. and he followed this decision
with an action against them in the Circuit
Court Of Benton county. That court ordered
collection OF assessments on the land TO
pay the $4,000. but this judgment was re-
versed by the Supreme Court.
