According TO the belief OF lawyers
here yesterday this leaves the old
county assessors law still in effect
and the assessments made under the
township assessor system, are held
invalid and uneollectable. It is be-
lieyed by these authorities that the
only proper remedy would be the call
ing OF a special session Of the legis-
lature to legalize the assessment made
for 1909
Governor Haskell said last night that
he did not thing this procedure nee
essary and that the statute Of 1908
lad been adopted by affirmation of
the constitution.
A member OF the state code com.
mission states that he believes the act
of 1897 as To county assessors, is still
in force since the act of 1903 was
never enrolled but was pending az
the time of adjournment OF the legls
Iature. It Is question, said he.
whether the act Of 1908 was put in
force by the adoption of the consti-
tuition Even If the assessment was
not legal the legislature could easily
make It legal he contends
Speaker Wilson was IN Oklahoma
City Yesterday and it is bis belief
that Che only remedy for the sihn-
ton is the calling Of a special session
