NEW REVENUE LAW INVALID.

has declared the revenue Law, passed
by the last legislature, unconstitu-
tiopal and void. The decision was
rendered Monday in the case of e. Ii.
E. Hardin vs.. j. W. Guthrie, Assessor
Of Humboldt county. Hardin petit
toned the court for 4 naudamus to
compel the assessor to assess twelve
head ui cattle at their actual cash
value instead Of at SIT per head. the
rate fixed by the State Board OF AS
SCISSORS.
In deciding the case. after stating
the nature OF the proce edinRs and
summing up the evidence Judge
Bonnitield says:
Wherefore, the Court finds by
reason OF the above named proceed.
Ings aud OF the evidence rs aforesaid,
as conclusions OF law:
THAT the Act Of the Legislature
entitled An Act to provide for IL
more uniform valuation and assess
ment of droperty in thus State APP
proved March lG, 1901, is unconstItu-
Sional and voi6, for the reason that il
delegates to the Board OF Assessors,

ions, the power to classify and assess
any property within this State, with
out providing what property it may
assess, or providing any regulations
to govern said Board i'll arriving at IA
valuation Of any property it may act
upon, winch makes it repugnunt to
and III conflict with Section | Of Ar.
ticle 3 OF the Constitution Of this
State, and Of Section l of Article 10
OF said Constitution, in that it dele
gates To said Board OF Assessors the
power to value and assess my prop.

ulatioLs or rule by which II Just val
uation OF tie property they see lit Ia
act upon shall be arrived ut. which
unrestricted power a reside alone
ID the Legislature OF the State. ami
cannot be delegated to any other

That said Act Of the Legislature Is
particularly in ~contraven,iou with
Section s of Article | OF the ConstItu-
ton Of this State. and Section | OF
Article Ii OF amendments to the Con.
stitutIon Of the United States. in that
It would deprive petitioner Of his pro
petty without due process of law, for
the reason that said Act affords peti.
toner no opportunity to be heard, or
tn offer any evidence concerning the
valuation OF his property at any time,
before the assessment would become
a final charge against him.
