REVENUE LAW IS DECLARED
TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL

the act creating the Board OF Equallze-
ton there Is no such body in existence.
The members of the board will assert
that by withdrawing the writ Of super
sedeas Judge Dixon's decision that the
new revenue law 10 unconstitutional
will be in force. The state has taken
an appeal from this decision, but pend
ing an opinion on this by the Supreme
Court maintains that Judge Dixon's de-
cision leaves the old law in operation
and that the state officials have the
right to impose tax under that meas
ure. The legal points involved are 70
complex that state officials are at q
loss to know what decisive action thsy
can take In the matter.
One point 10 generally conceded. and
that y unless some action ID tAeoo
before midnight tonight the revenues
for 1901 may be in danger. All dfscus-
sion Of an extra session has been team
porarily abandoned In the effort to Do
termine upon S6fne plan by which The
taxes for 1901 may be collected. Az
though there are objections to every
method which has yet been suggested
the plan of re-creating the State Board
of Assessors has been decided upon ~
the most feasible.
Attorney General Post yesterday
asked the judges Of the Supreme Court
to meet this morning to hear a motion
to withdraw the writ of supersedeas
without prejudice to the case. 1t 10
argued that in this way the standing OF
the case now before the Supreme Court
to determine constitutionality of the
new revenue law will not in any way
be affected. but that the state officials
will be enabled to make the assessment
under the old law and leave the dispute
over the validity of the revenue law
to bs passed upon by the Supreme
Court at q later date.

Denver, Dec. 81.-In the federal
court yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock
Judge Riner delivered decision In
which he sustained the claim that the
law creating state board OF thirteen
assessors was unconstitutional and
that the Legislature had no power,
without q constitutional amendment.
to delesate to any body Of assessors the
right to tax property which was out
side the lines Of their individual coun-
ties. The decision In effect defeats one
OF the most important points in the
new revenue law. 1t has caused con-
sternation among state 0flicials, who
realize that without prompt action
there may be no legal method Of col
Letting the taxes for the year 10Ol J.
Z After two consultations with ths
Beard Of Equalization and the Aft0ts
neys who have been called upon for
advice 1t was decided BY Governor Or
man that the only course left open was
to apply to the Supreme Court to with
draw the writ OF supersedeas and by
re-creating the State Board Of Equali-
xation, which was abolished by the
new revenue law, to extend the assess
ments made by the State Board Of As
SCISSORS and certify them as assess
ments made by the State Board Of
Equalization acting under the old law.
There are 50 many phases Of the le-
gal tangle In which the state officials
are involved that they do not know
which way to steer In order to insure
the collection OF taxes for 1901. After
discussion with legal advisers they
concluded that the only course open
WIS to make the assessments under the
old law, acting as State Board OF
Equalization. 1t 10 entirely possible
that the question may be raised in the
cpurts that, owing to the passage Of
